Joe vs the Algorithm Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 21 hours ago, Dolfan in NYC said: Team USA announced that Kawhi Leonard is not going to Paris. His replacement is Derrick White. (EDIT -- Reading the tea leaves (aka tweets) around, it sounds like Kawhi quit.) According to Grant Hill, Team USA made the decision to send him home.
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 16, 2024 Posted July 16, 2024 Former 76er Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, father of Kobe has died. He was 69.
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 The WNBA has their new US media deal. $2.2 Billion in value with NBC, ESPN, and Amazon splitting the rights. This is more than triple their previous deal. This puts them monetarily, roughly on par with MLS. I'm guessing next stop on this train is expansion.

Golden State (2025) and Toronto (2026) are already announced, but I could easily see them going to 16 or 18. The talent is out there. I'd love to see a Houston franchise revived, and it seems ridiculous to me that Philly has never had a team. If they go to 18, I'd imagine they'd try Portland and another Florida team again (Miami seems more viable than Orlando). EDIT: Of course, by "14 or 16", I meant "16 or 18", but my brain has partially melted. Fixed my numbers and have gone off to eat a popsicle. Edited July 18, 2024 by Stefanie Sparkleface
RIPPA Posted July 18, 2024 Author Posted July 18, 2024 Following up on that - Russ is going to be waived and the expectation is that he will then sign with the Nuggets
Contentious C Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 And Bronny "Not Even Good by Summer League Standards" James is evidently drawing a bunch of prop bets for ROY. I wish I could find somewhere to place one of those "take the field" bets in this instance. 2

He's a lock for Rookie of the year and should be going up on the MVP odds board soon, right?
hammerva Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 So the US team got a win today against South Sudan. By 1 point. That's bad right

Keeps him in Golden State through the 2026-2027 season He becomes the third NBA player to pass the $500 million mark in earnings (Lebron and KD are the others)
Contentious C Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Not actually true. No worries about that repeat (yet)!

Zimbra Posted September 18, 2024 Posted September 18, 2024 Boban is going back to Europe after nine years in the NBA. If this is it his last act as an NBA player was intentionally bricking two free throws so Clippers fans could win free chicken sandwiches. Goodbye to a king. 5

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted September 18, 2024 Posted September 18, 2024 Rogers Communication bought out Bell's 37.5% ownership in the Raptors today so officially Masai Ujiri finds himself on the hotseat
Tabe Posted September 20, 2024 Posted September 20, 2024 (edited) Indiana & Washington played to a WNBA record crowd of nearly 21k in their season finale. Caitlin Clark has had one of the most spectacular rookie seasons in any sport ever if you factor in league impact. Edited September 20, 2024 by Tabe 2
Dolfan in NYC Posted September 20, 2024 Posted September 20, 2024 Joel Embiid is extending with Philly. 3/193

Tabe Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 Scary moment in last night's Indiana Fever as Caitlin Clark was poked in the eye with a long fake nail in what, to me anyway, looked to be a very intentional act. She ended up with a black eye and had one of her worst shooting performances of the seasons as Indiana got blown out. It kinda boggles my mind that the WNBA allows players to have long nails in the first place.
