In 2019 Kawhi Leonard’s uncle asked the Raptors for a piece of the Leafs and a Paul George trade, but also for two notable extras: no-show sponsorships, and ownership shares in outside companies. Which he seems to have gotten with Aspiration, and the Clippers. www.thestar.com/sports/rapto...

New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social with @jamesherbert.bsky.social talking about the high, low and median outcomes for the Raptors this year. 🏀They could actually be pretty good! 🏀If it goes bad, it's gonna be a grim scene 🏀Mild progress & a clearer path forward most likely? youtu.be/3D50fJlE2uQ

Spent a bit of time at the WNBA All-Star Game chatting with a new basketball fan: Harvard economist Claudia Goldin, who has been advising the WNBA players in their labor negotiations, part of a more robust strategy this year from the union

Goodbye to Masai Ujiri as president of the Raptors. The dreams stayed big: it was the owners who got small. www.thestar.com/sports/rapto...

this kennedy burke season is insane. it’s like if david roddy suddenly became the best 3-point shooter in the league

My draft night observation: Hansen Yang is so big that the hat the NBA gave him didn't fit and he walked around without the clasps connected in the back.

james borrego’s hornets played a lot like the pacers. smart of the knicks to interview him imo
