This is a passion project, one of a few I’ve done while working around in sports. If you made it here feel free to toss a follow, soon enough I’ll start launching articles on medium as the season shapes up more. Thanks as always.

The @WNBA has been absolutely electric this season and there’s no reason you shouldn’t give it a chance. @PhoenixMercury are ridiculously real hoops.

Agree. Acting like adding 33m in salary onto a team that has perennially not paid up doesn’t affect a 42m addition is crazy lol. Not only that but DA was obvs the best available asset, or piece to be moved for such. It’s possible, but the field HAS absolutely changed.

I still think it’s naive to think the Suns get nothing back for DA doesn’t affect the KD trade somehow
Who do they think don is 😭😭 enjoy Quentin Grimes + Obiddiah Toppin

The Utah Jazz are looking to acquire a ‘majority’ of New York’s 8 first-round picks, per @andyblarsen Utah is also looking to acquire pick swaps and a combination of Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickley, Obi Toppin, Miles McBride, and Cam Reddish

The Pacers are waiving guard Duane Washington and waiving and stretching the three players who arrived in the Boston trade for Malcolm Brogdon: Malik Fitts, Juwan Morgan and Nik Stauskas, sources tell ESPN. That'll create the cap space to sign Ayton to the max offer sheet.
Clippers 2nd round pick, Moussa Diabaté, showed out again tonight. Love this kid, he definitely has NBA level talent, went 4-6 from the field, nailed his only 3 attempt of the night, had a steal and 8 boards in a 9 point effort in just 26 minutes. Draft steal.

Heartbreaking news for E.J. Liddell, genuinely hope he gets his shot when this is resolved. No one deserves this.

Pelicans say rookie E.J. Liddell has suffered a torn ACL in his right knee.
Top 10 Players in NBA history in ORDER: 1. Lebron/MJ 2. MJ/Lebron 3. Kareem 4. Duncan 5. Bird 6. Magic 7. Shaq 8. Hakeem 9. Russell 10. Steph (Outside looking just in - Kobe, KD, Doc J)
This is genuinely the greatest thing to happen in the nba over the last 5 seasons.
Jabari Smith Jr. buried a 3 ball from the top of the key. Little concerned about the time it took to load it up, but a nice connection regardless.

TyTy is one play away from the fabled hoop scholarship, rips down the rebound and drives and dishes for a great 3 ball.

1. This is the loudest dunk of the summer. 2. Jabari turnover into a transition slam is an ouch
The Houston Rockets may have really found a good one in Tari Eason, kid is cooking after this high dribble and the slam

Tari Eason is having an absolute day so far, 5-7 from the field, 2-2 from 3, with 2 steals and a block:

Jabari must be seriously unfunny, this dude has his hands up wide open nearly every possession it feels like.

Jabari Smith Jr has started 1-4 from the field today. Feels like we’re waiting for a switch to flip for these performances to turn around from him.
With Paolo Banchero being shut down for the rest of summer, tonight specifically Chet has an opportunity to have a big game in his absence.
Scotty Pippen Jr absolutely aired this 3 to win 2OT, definitely a sequence the lakers would like to have back.

JT Thor WINS IT WITH A 3 IN SUDDEN DEATH DOUBLE OVERTIME FOR THE HORNETS, they take down the lakers who fall to 0-2, big time bounce back win for the Hornets.
