Such a weird story. The Athletic has more details as well. ESPN is essentially giving up some NCAA games for Turner/WB to continue producing Inside the NBA but it will air on ESPN and ABC in the new media deal. That means Chuck will remain on TV for the foreseeable future. This deal is supposedly for 6 years, starting next year.


And here's a link to the Athletic story, which is behind a paywall....

It sounds like the Nets will lose Cam Thomas 3–4 weeks due to a hamstring issue.

Anthony Edwards took a fat dump on his teammates in a presser. Called them a bunch of front runners who are all self interested... he isn't wrong.

However...

The same Anthony Edwards was on a hot mic in the conference finals last season blasting teammates for asking him to pass and telling them that he is better than all of them.

Pssssst, yo ANT, you're part of the problem.

Gobert, Randle and Edwards all seem like complete douchbags on the court. Their teammates seem to openly despise them, and this isn't new. I said before the season, I will repeat it: I hope that the inevitable fist fight happens on the court, in front of cameras, rather than in the locker room or practice.

There is a bit of schadenfreude watching Minnesota implode, and makes me thankful we have Ishbia who, at least so far, hasn't torpedoed a roster due to salary concerns.

He’s a ******* with no leadership skills but it’s not like the organization is blameless for nuking their core. At least they got a conference finals run in there.

Early but man is Podz a huge disappointment for the Warriors this year. One of the reasons they felt comfortable with Klay leaving, beyond eventually getting Hield of course, was they felt Podz was going to take the next step up and take over as a starter. And he's coming off the bench with Lindy Waters essentially taking his spot. He started against OKC with Curry sitting and had his best game in awhile, 12 8 boards 5 assists, hopefully that's a sign because he's been horrible on offense for awhile now, shooting under 20% from 3. Big deal because Podz was one of the reasons they didn't make any big trades, they didn't want to give him up

I'm sure Podziemski will get it going against the Suns. That's what they do.

For Suns fans invested in the NBA Cup, you should be rooting for the Lakers (2-1) to beat the Thunder (1-1) in tonight's group play game. If that happens and PHX beats the Spurs on Tuesday, the Suns would win Group B thanks to their head-to-head tiebreaker with LA

It took 20 years but Lebron is finally cooked.

Is he? He's averaging 22.6 ppg, 9.4 apg, and 8.1 rpg in 35 minutes a game. He's not an All-NBA talent anymore but at 40 years old in less than a month, that's pretty damn good. He's got another year left as a starter on a playoff team, provided the Lakers can get him some help.
