I know it sounds like bs but as someone who personally knows some of the Giddeys, the story to it all is pretty wild and not really his fault, though he should've been a lot less naive.

I mean, regardless of whether it's true or not, that's kind of what his family would say, isn't it?

I've seen pretty irrefutable proof. It could have been doctored, I guess, but I doubt it.

This was pretty much the end of it
“Criminal defence lawyer Neil Shouse, a former prosecutor, told CODE Sports this could be successfully argued if the other person “claimed and appeared to be over 18”, carried a fake ID showing they were over 18, or was present in an adult venue like a bar or club.”

Yeah, OKC v Boston looks like it would be a great Finals, as long as the refs don't get too involved...
LeBron bowl
Lakers Cavs

Lakers Celtics I'd literally just tune out. Same as I did for the 2008 and 2010 Finals. It's absolutely infuriating.
If only one of them are in the Finals, it's okay as at least I know who to support (the other team).

He’s the sort of player that I wanted the Nets to use some of our assets to buy low on
Same with Avdija
Draft is far bigger lottery than investing in guys like that who you know are going to be pretty reasonable

Seems Portland beat you to Avdija.

Don't know why you'll are interested in highly replaceable third fiddles on mediocre teams, but y'all do you.

Cheap, plug-and-play role-player minutes. Known quantities versus unknown picks.

Avdija also was not a buy low. He was traded for Brogdon, two firsts and two seconds. Middling assets but definitely not a buy low.

It's a huge splash, but I could see the reasoning behind it (unlike the Luka trade, damn that will skew our perspectives for a long time).
NBA, more so than any other sport is dependent upon the star player, complemented by a supporting team. Jokic is about as good as you can hope from the star, but the rest of the team has been trash for a good 2 years now. Neither the coach nor the GM have really been able to fix this. And barring making a huge splash prior to the trade window, firing the coach was always going to be the most directly impactful way to shake up and effect the "support" side of the equation. If ownership is really high on David Adelman as the next big coach for the team, then I could see it making sense. But not sure if that's really the intention. Ownership might have just been butting heads and waning Malone out for a bit, and a 4 game losing streak was a good enough reason.

It’s what the people wanted. Interesting timing though, something must have happened
