The Chicago Bulls and Kevin Knox have agreed to a deal, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. Knox has averaged 7.3 points in seven NBA seasons combined with the Knicks, Hawks, Pistons, Trail Blazers, and Warriors.

Can't keep the powder dry forever. Only two years left on Wemby's rookie contract.

You have to make "the move" within, like, the next 18 months.

Absolutely. The Spurs could generally facilitate this in a way that also streamlines their talent.

It sorta feels like that's the team with the keys, all things considered.

Or the Knicks can send both OG and Mikal to San Antonio who redirect some picks and players to Milwaukee if Giannis insists on New York.

This, to me, still SCREAMS San Antonio.

They can facilitate a trade deadline deal with Milwaukee, and somewhat easily.

They're way below the first apron, they have a ton of assets, and they possess player contracts that the Bucks can move off of down the line.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, agent reportedly 'figuring out' which teams could make a mid-season trade offer

The combination of Giannis' $54.1 million salary, the tax aprons and just the roster number crunch makes a mid-season trade very difficult to pull off.

Trying to trade Antetokounmpo and his $54.1 million salary during the season is extremely difficult in the tax apron era.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Cultural. Stems from football practice, I suspect.

One of the biggest sins a basketball coach can commit is preaching unnecessary unselfishness, to the point where players hesitate to take open shots.

This problem is especially prevalent in Denmark.

Is this the biggest contract of convenience in recent NBA history?

Sure as hell feels like it.

Shams Charania Tweets @shamsbot.bsky.social · 8d

Kuminga chose this two-year deal over three years and $75M so he can maintain a higher level of control over his immediate future. The Warriors never wavered on team option frameworks. Now, both sides understand likelihood of exploring trades when Kuminga is eligible in January.

Shams Charania Tweets @shamsbot.bsky.social · 8d

Through negotiations between Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Turner from July to September, Golden State ultimately increased its offer by a total of $8M in the two-year framework and guaranteed Kuminga approximately $15M more than his qualifying offer would have for this season.

The best medicine is laughter, Sir.

(Also, you married up. Significantly so. The price for that - evidently - was the total and utter collapse of logical thinking within the Pelicans organization.)

Morten Stig Jensen @msjnba.bsky.social · 12d

On the bright side, at least Atlanta had to call you back to make sure that offer was indeed what you offered them.
