This little game has been played 1.3 million times in the last 20 hours 🤯

This is so fun, I’m hooked. Maddening but so fun.

Inspired by 82-0, we have put together this game we have called 73-9. You have $100 million to spend on players to try to beat the 2015-16 Warriors. It's a long shot, especially because you are constrained by money. Shoot your shot, though! Link: hoopsmatic.com/73-9-game

LeBron finished his 23rd season two months ago. What would have been the 23rd season of these players’ careers?

NBA trade machine: The deals Lakers fans are trying to put together. Delusional?

With his new extension, only five players ahead of Donovan Mitchell.

Co-sign, but tennis instead of golf.

Boston is the team with the most playoff wins during the LeBron James era. Also: LeBron won 40 more games than Boston since he entered the NBA. #NBABarRaces

During the Michael Jordan era, nobody won more playoff games than the Lakers. #NBABarRaces

Say something about the 2026-27 Clippers.

Agree

Lakers' history is so rich that LeBron spent eight seasons with the team and only ranks No. 10 all-time in scoring. #NBABarRaces

The new TJ McConnell? Link: www.hoopshype.com/story/sports...

Jaylen Brown won more games with Boston than Dave Cowens. (Cowens finished his Celtic career with two titles, one MVP and eight All-Star selections). Only 12 players have more wins in Boston than Brown. The youngest of those 12 are Paul Pierce and Larry Bird.

Absolutely unnecessary for Celtics fans to watch this video comparing the last five years of Paul George vs. Jaylen Brown. Just keep scrolling.

As of now, the Blazers' summer league roster features only 12 players, the fewest of any NBA team that has announced its roster so far. No other team has fewer than 15. Very on brand!

Jaylen Brown finished No. 6 in MVP voting in 2025-26. Before Jaylen, the last player to finish Top 6 in MVP voting and get traded the following offseason was... Paul George.

Jaylen Brown is the second-fastest Finals MVP to be traded after winning the award, behind Dennis Johnson (1979 Finals MVP, traded to Phoenix in 1980).

FWIW: Not a single Jaylen-to-Sixers trade rumor on HoopsHype's Rumors page EVER.

They don't usually do that to the Lakers.

Name a better team for 2026-27.

JUST IN: The Orlando Magic and Jonathan Isaac have agreed to a one-year deal, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social.

What are the most blatant cases of ring-chasing you've seen in your time as an NBA fan?

PICK ONE BALL.

This is how summer league rosters look as of now. www.hoopshype.com/story/sports...

From Dikembe Mutombo to Michael Jordan, these are the best free agent signings in the history of each franchise. www.hoopshype.com/story/sports...

Five potential trade packages for Jaylen Brown. Which one do you like best?

Kenny Atkinson: “If the circle around you is too wide, it can get distracting, right? I just think it's super important. It helps you be more focused to keep your circle tight. Once you start getting too many people in your life, it becomes distracting.”

Oscar Wembanyama on the pressure that comes from being Victor's brother: "My brother is the best player in the world. So I cannot ignore that. And nobody does... I'd say it's a different type of pressure."

Austin Reaves is already No. 1 in guaranteed career earnings among undrafted players.

Kemba Walker's records safe.

NBA trade machine: Deals you could put together for LaMelo Ball. hoopsmatic.com?p=1630163%2C...

Who's the best player you would trade for LaMelo Ball?

Look at Yaxel Lendeborg at No. 4.

Only college basketball players in the Top 20 of the draft. First time that has happened since 1994!

FINAL UPDATE 800-plus pre-draft workouts listed here. Could be somewhat relevant tonight. www.hoopshype.com/story/sports...

Prediction: Jaylen Brown will either be No. 2 or no longer on this list in a few weeks.

Story: Reporting on what’s next after the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade for the Bucks, Heat, Celtics, Pistons, and Blazers. Plus, updates on Ja Morant, Tyler Herro, Julius Randle, Trey Murphy, DeMar DeRozan, Warriors and Hornets trade talks, and more on HoopsHype. www.hoopshype.com/story/sports...

New Bucks guard Tyler Herro has the highest scoring average of any Wisconsin-born player in NBA history. Now you know that.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is arguably the biggest team legend ever traded away. Not just by the Bucks... by any team, ever. Our case: www.hoopshype.com/story/sports...

Apropos of nothing... Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Jaylen Brown since 2022.

We ranked the best draft selections in NBA history. Seven of the Top 20 are in the NBA right now. www.hoopshype.com/story/sports...

With his new contract, Trae Young is now Top 20 all-time in guaranteed NBA earnings.

Lots of great intel in here from Scotto: www.hoopshype.com/story/sports...

Michael Scotto reports that the Clippers are said to be interested in acquiring Jaylen Brown. Previously, Marc Spears shared, "I don’t think there's been any, from what I’ve been told, any substantial conversations there. The one thing about the Clippers is they’re enjoying this youth movement.”

Agent Bernie Lee doesn't think players taking pay cuts a la Brunson is such a great idea. If your reaction is "well, he's an agent, of course he's going to say that," I still recommend you read the article. Some very good points made. www.hoopshype.com/story/sports...
