This info went triple-platinum on the other app, so I should probably let y'all know as well... Yes, Cam Johnson is, in fact, part Balkan. His mom is Croatian. Jokic fans rejoice!

Very bold of Hollinger to assume the Bulls would actually trade Tre Jones to a contender in a 2yrs. The much more likely scenario is that the Bulls would extend him (because they delusionally view themselves to be a contender) and then lose in the play-in. (And then run in back the following year)

Why are the Jazz getting #18? What's the deal here? Is the deal we think it might be?

The Suns entire roster is shooting guards + centers.

Poole & Fears Zion & Queen The Pels just DO NOT give a fuck about fit I guess 😂

So the Pels acquired both Jordan Poole & Jeremiah Fears in the span of 24hrs, huh? I guess Dumars is hooper-pilled 😂

Someone just said VJ Edgecomb is the most athletic player in the draft. Hopefully that will help cancel out the fact that Philly is like the least athletic team in the league. Maybe with VJ out there next season, the Sixers won't look like a bunch of grandpa's hooping

Imagine if Portland traded Jrue for Dame lol Jrue + Jerami for Dame Who says no?

Orlando was such a wildcard this offseason-- they have several team options & tradeable salaries, so there was a million different directions they could go Now that they have 3.5 max deals on their books, I think the door is closed on a splashy point guard acquisition (unless Suggs is in the trade)

Luke 6:20 "Jesus said to his disciples: Blessed are you who are poor, afflicted, lowly [or last in the AL], for yours is the kingdom of God." Romans 12:16 "Do not be proud or conceited, but be willing to associate with the lowly & downtrodden [including teams that lost 120gms in a single season]"

NO WAY MARK CUBAN TRADED LUKA & DIDN'T THE GET THE LAKERS 2031 1ST????? What is going on?????? Is this the apocalypse?????

I have no clue what tf is going on in Sacramento. But if the Kings are active in the trade market, Denver should get on the phone & try to snag Keon Ellis. Low-cost, cheap, quality POA defender with great screen navigation. Nuggets REALLY need that skillset. They should consider overpaying.

As I predicted, Grimes was such a good pickup by Dallas. Anyone who watched him in NY knew this would be the case. I can't believe the asking price was only a handful of 2nd's. Denver failing to snag him as a cheap KCP replacement was such a whiff 😭😭 The fit there was so obvious 🤦‍♀️

Boomer: **has a mental breakdown after seeing clip of NBA players missing pull-up 3s** Me: "Back in the day they pulled-up from midrange instead. What's the difference?" Boomer: "Because I arbitrarily decided that bricking from 20ft is Beautiful Basketball, but bricking from 25ft is terrorism"

Old heads talk about "Analytics" like it's some Communist psyop But it's literally just ✨Efficiency✨ The goal isnt to ruin basketball-- the goal is simply to gain an advantage by replacing LESS efficient shots w MORE efficient shots As long as 3s are so efficient, teams will keep encouraging them

Don't get me wrong-- there's *SO* much the NBA could do better But at the same time-- all the "What's wrong with the NBA" talk is horrible The discourse is just nostalgic, opinion-based complaints, w no regard for facts/data/research AT ALL. It's become nothing more than "Old man yells at cloud."

NBA Twitter is currently like that South Park episode where everyone got high asf on "Member Berries" & started misremembering the past. The mid 2000s really wasn't the Golden Age of basketball like some of yall think 😭😭😭

Josh Green had a walk-off steal & dunk to end the 1st half & Dell Curry on the Hornets broadcast team screamed "JOSH GREEN! THE POWER OF VEGEMITE!!!!" ?????????

I frequently make fun of fanbases who say shit like "Our coach needs to play [random two-way player] over [regular rotation player]!!!" But Jordan Miller is the exception to this. The kid is a bucket for a Clippers team that desperately needs offense & scoring. He needs to be in the rotation.

The KPJ experiment needs to end. He sucks. The Clippers offense is pretty pitiful at times. Their defense has been winning them games, which is nice, but they're struggling to score at times. Their front offense needs to be on the phone ASAP inquiring about backup guards that could be available.

They call him TP because he was built for this shit 😎😎😎

Economist here 🙋‍♀️ The 3P line essentially functions as a "subsidy." It subsidizes scoring beyond the arc (because shots are worth 50% more) in order to incentive space. Without the 3P line, there'd be no incentive for offenses to space the floor & conversely, no incentive for defenses to defend it.

Jaylen Wells 1st Team All Rookie if the season ended today

Stacey King on the Bulls broadcast calling Buzelis "Lil Buzi Vert" 😆😆😆😆

The world needs to accept that Franz is just a 30-5-5 guy as the primary scorer. This is why criticisms of his max extension were so dumb. He has all the offensive skill that European guys typically do, but he's also decently athletic & a great defender with great positional size.

Franz Wagner is so good & has been for a while. Anyone who questioned his max extension should be embarrassed. Nom-zero chance he's Orlando's best player one day 👀

Everyone who said Franz Wagner couldn't shoot 3s, please reveal yourself so we can point & laugh.

TIRED: "Clippers were smart to let PG walk for nothing. Their team got a little younger/more athletic & PG is Philly's problem now." WIRED: "Clippers were dumb to let PG walk for nothing. Lawrence Frank should've facilitated a Warriors trade to sabotage a conference/division rival from the inside"

One of the funnier ESPN clips I've seen: Richard Jefferson was torching the Bulls for years of mediocrity & irrelevance, and Kendrick Perkins chimed in with "They need to go all-in on a Brandon Ingram trade, that will fix them" ESPN isn't even sports content anymore, it's basically just comedy 😂😂😂😂

going from doris burke to bob myers

Clippers signed Derrick Jones, Kris Dunn & KPJ this offseason and they *STILL* look pretty old & slow at times... So I can't even imagine how old/slow/unathletic they'd look with PG instead. Maybe Lawrence Frank was on to something

The Clippers claimed they let PG walk for purely financial/apron-related reasons. But (as many people pointed out this summer) this excuse never fully passed the smell test. It seemed like they just didn't want to be in the PG business anymore. Maybe they were right 🤷‍♀️

As someone who spent the last 2yrs screaming into the void that Dyson Daniels has quietly been a perennial All-Defense candidate with the Pels... The last month has been so incredibly validating 🙌🙌

Cole Anthony will be out of the rotation entirely by New Years. The writing has been on the wall for him for a year now. Their rotation is packed & he was always gonna be the next man out. I can't believe people acted like this was a hot take when I predicted that this summer.

OKC is the best in the league at exploiting poor late-game execution. Even the slightest fuck up or miscommunication-- they will have you in the Dorture Chamber & turn that shit into a turnover real quick.

Naji Marshall has been putting the ball on the floor WAYYYY more than he ever did in NOLA. I wish he'd lean harder into the 3&D aspect of his role, instead of all the floater/pull-up middy stuff.

Is Joe Ingles the first "Designated Inbounder" in NBA history?

Luka Doncic soon being the 2nd best white hooper in Dallas is an unexpected development

Bulls defense gave up 49pts in the opening quarter tonight. That's the most points allowed in any quarter in the NBA this season. It's so atrocious I'm actually impressed.

Really nice to see the leap Ochai Agbaji has made in all areas, but especially from three. He's been one of the most efficient shooters in the league this season. I can see him breaking out into a solid two-way wing & making teams regret not buying low on him last year (à la Nesmith, etc)

That Marcus Sasser game-tying 3 proves that God just hates the Bucks. Seems God is smiting every team that ever traded Jrue Holiday this season.

The American People have been *begging* Ty Lue for Summer League MVP Jordan Miller minutes And the people were right!

16yrs later, there are still 3 active NBA players from USC's 2008-09 roster: Demar Derozan Nikola Vucevic Taj Gibson

First bucket of the 2024 NBA Cup was a Taj Gibson dunk. Yes, the year 2024.

Kings OT/crunch time offense is basically "everyone clear out & watch Derozan cook" This offense should look awfully familiar to Bulls fans.

Davion Mitchell is playing the wrong sport. In an alternate universe, he could've been a HOF running back with that combo of strength, speed & lateral mobility. Plus, in the NFL it wouldn't matter that he can't shoot 😭😭

I have no clue how this app works. What is a "starter pack" or a "feed?" Hopefully NBA tweets just magically appear on my timeline.

hello NBA twitter friends!!!
