The Bears need a center, so clearly they should acquire Danish Hjalte Froholdt.

From earlier, at Y! Sports: A month after the trade deadline, some thoughts on how James Harden, Jared McCain, Jonathan Kuminga, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and a bunch of other dudes who got dealt are fitting into their new spots: yhoo.it/40dgnho

Before the season, I said the Spurs could absolutely win 50-55 games, and was told I was being way too ambitious on their behalf. Well, well, well, how the turntables.

I'm getting more and more convinced that he's been told he's dying, and have decided to burn shit down while he has time.

The Pistons are finding some footing in the second quarter, but their offensive floor - in playoff context - is so, so low. Still think they made a mistake in not trying to add a significant piece before the trade deadline.

Worst-kept secret in the NBA. If he's just 70% of his usual self this season, the Celtics suddenly become the team to beat in the East. (And I wanted them to tank before the season...)

Every single CEO, every single day: My company is saving the world, actually.

If a player has 32 blocks over his last 205 minutes, is that good?

The Monsterverse is exclusively a tale of humans triggering titan events, with Kong & Zilla cleaning everything up on their behalf. It's basically a franchise about monster custodians.

Yeah, the NBA just turned this NBA on NBC throwback broadcast into a problem. I already want more of it.

For decades, three roster construction tools have dominated the NBA. - The draft - Free agency - Trading With the NBA possibility diminishing the effects of the draft, and with free agency essentially dead, what exactly are teams to do? My latest at Y! Sports: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

Not doing it for anything less than $76.1 million.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Snooze-G, Lame-to-the-Nth-Degree, I used to be both-siding like an MVP, I guess even back then I was boring like a Blockbuster late fee, really, you should never vote for me, I'm the human manifestation of hypocrisy."

"Hey guys. I was so bad this year, that I lost my spot in the rotation, and had to be waived because I had literally no trade value. Yeah, in YOUR FACE!"

6-year-old: Dad, why is it important to have a girlfriend? Me: I don't think it's important, but it's nice to have someone you care about, don't you think? Him: I have girlfriends. Me: Girlfriends? How many do you have? Him: I don't know. But not enough. Okay, then!

Missed clutch free throws tonight

@nbabeau.bsky.social De'Aaron Fox with a clutch bucket as he shot it from behind the backboard. Within the last minute or so in the game.

This is what's scary about Wemby. He can't BUY a bucket, so he just decides to morph into prime Bill Russell defensively.

The Danish Basketball Federation announced its U15 Top 40 yesterday, in a series of slides. Still surreal to see my son's name officially tied to the national team this way.

Wait, I'm confused. Is it still illegal in the US to be a pedophile? Because there's this list that would suggest an absolute shit-ton of people should be arrested, then.

"Here's Joker, averaging 29/12/11, going up against Draymond who's averaging.... uh, well, he's Draymond, so here's his picture."

I feel for Collins. Finally seemed to break out of injury hell, and is now right back in it. Eight seasons in, and just 388 games to his name.

Absolutely LOVED Ivey coming out of college. That injury just seems like it tore his game up completely.

Happy to report that my son was named to the U15 Top 40, and is now in the preliminary rounds of getting selected to the national team. Proud poppa!

I love how this wasn't even a regular accident and was just LaMelo being the single worst driver in existence

Sochan: "I bring a little bit of nasty."

It's worth remembering that last year, part of TNT's ASG coverage included elevating Draymond as a studio analyst and Green said, during the actual ASG telecast, that the new format "sucks" and that he'd rate the game a 0/10. Like it's unbelievable how poisonous NBA coverage had been until recently.

NBA All-Star Sunday now features a World team, underlining the league's embrace of global basketball. Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum was kind enough to give me his thoughts on this, the NBA's new league in Europe, and a potential expansion of the NBA Cup: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

Yeah, fuck him.

If I'm a team, I don't care about the financial penalty, if it means I get a crack at the Top 2 in the draft, and thus an opportunity to select a budding superstar who will earn me hundreds of millions. "Oh no, you're fining me $500K? Remind me to fake cry as I rummage through the couch cushions."

"Two-time Rising Stars participant". God, I need to become an agent solely to see what I can get Shams to tweet.

Players, who have wasted decades bitching to refs, after seeing previous generations of players wasting decades bitching to refs.

The NBA can't even find a foothold here in terms of complaining about it, because they actually won the game, which is utterly hilarious.

Encouraging couple of games from Kasparas Jakučionis here. Looking like the player who started the year for Illinois last season, and not like the worrisome prospect we saw in the second half of the year. Too early to officially say he's turned the tide, but worth keeping an eye on.

Oh, it's Super Bowl night?

Ooooooof.

The fact that single women are AGGRESSIVELY turning down men who as much as lean towards the right, politically, is extremely exciting. This will be utterly fascinating to track through a long-term lense, just in how it'll affect future generations. Unsurprisingly, women may save us all.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I'm sorry, but you do not waive the player with the coolest fucking name in NBA history. Inexcusable.

Tyus Jones replacement. Not bad. Like this for Orlando a fair bit.

That is a STEEP price for Zu.

Dear Trade Deadline..

Yeah, good luck with that if the NBA steps in and have him go a physical with their doctors. If he's still genuinely injured in a few weeks, with long odds of returning, sure, it's a solid plan. If he's healthy in a month, and he's not playing, I fully expect the league to intervene.
