    Oh wow, the Buss family is selling the Lakers.

    For more specifics - they are being sold to Mark Walter, the CEO of diversified holding company TWG Global

    Walter had right of first refusal in buying the team when the Busses sold so for him it was probably just a matter of when

  2. I would have been shocked if you had heard of him unless you secretly watch things designed for late teens/early 20s

    Like legit the only thing I think you possible might have watched is there is a slight chance you wanted the reboot/remake of The Craft (and even that is unlikely)

  3. Back to the Rockies sucking

    Quote

    The Rockies have the fourth-fewest wins by any team through their first 70 decisions in a season in MLB history and the fewest since the 1899 Spiders won 12 of their first 70 decisions. Colorado (.186 win percentage) is currently on pace to go 30-132 this season.

    Colorado is 13-57

    Also in Saturday's loss - the struck out 19 times which was a franchise record (for a 9 inning game (and the most the Braves pitchers had in a 9 inning game)

  4. Here are the specifics on the picks

    Quote

    Orlando is sending to Memphis the No. 16 pick in the 2025 NBA draft, Phoenix's first-round pick in 2026, plus its 2028 and 2030 unprotected first-round selections, sources said. The pick swap is lightly protected in 2029.

    I've never understood why men's college basketball didn't have quarters. High school basketball (at least here, and I believe in most if not all states) have quarters. Women's college basketball has quarters. The NBA has quarters. FIBA has quarters. 

    The most "popular" theory is that the NCAA believes that playing halves instead of quarters lead to closer games

    It also means a quicker game because there are less media timeouts

    The second point is actually the reason they probably want to make the switch to quarters as they are probably getting pressure from the networks to allow for more dead time which equates to more $$$

  6. Trade is official

    Quote

    Chris Kreider is joining the Anaheim Ducks after the winger waived his no-trade clause to allow the New York Rangers to deal him away.

    The Rangers will receive prospect Carey Terrance in the trade, which both teams announced Thursday. The Rangers are also getting a third-round pick in this year's draft that originally belonged to the Toronto Maple Leafs, while the Ducks are getting back the fourth-round pick that went to New York in the Jacob Trouba trade in December.

    To make the deal happen, Kreider had to waive his 15-team no-trade list, which he had recently added Anaheim to.

    The Ducks are taking on the full freight of Kreider's remaining contract (2 years, $6.5 million each season)

  7. A lot of Knicks fans are coping by believing that every team does this now - it just usually doesn't get reported but Shams is desperate for clicks so he is gleefully tweeting about each one

    There is also a lot of "The worst thing is a team will say no - so why don't you try!"

    I am kinda excited to see where the cutoff is in terms of current coaches is because that might give a lot of current teams info about their current head coach if the Knicks are all "Yeah we don't need to talk to them"
