Buddy Hield on his way to Golden State.

https://x.com/i/web/status/1808927751694659961

Woj is now reporting that Golden State is sending a 2031 2nd round pick ( from Dallas ) to Philadelphia. Hield signed a 2-year deal worth a guaranteed $21 million plus a 3rd year with a $3 million partial guarantee and a non-guaranteed player option 4th year.

Really can’t believe the clippers moves this offseason, both Kevin Porter Jr and Miles Bridges in addition to snagging Josh Primo months ago.

Just a scumbag org and it’s no surprise they’ve never won anything the last 15 years despite having talent

Sun-Lynx great game going on rn.

I wish I could warm to the Sun a little more but can’t really do it. Seattles reluctantly always been my fav. Didn’t know Minny has 4 of the top 8 3 point percentage leaders in the league this would be an impressive road win.

We really need a team can’t claim to be the top pro sports city and not have a WNBA franchise. That game in the Garden is going to suck to LA without Cameron Brink is probably the worst team in the league.

WHO would own a Boston WNBA Team, Brad.... think about it.... nevermind the logistical issues of why the current ownership group owns the G-League team.... it's not allowed under WNBA guidelines and that's why you lost teams in CLE/HOU/SAC.... and why Mohegan Sun owns Connecticut and why the Aces were sold by the Spurs to Mandalay Bay even though T-Mobile Arena was in play for Aces/Fever the same way Gainbridge was replaced for a night by Lucas Oil Stadium when the Sky and Fever played earlier this season.... if the reports are true, that the C's ownership is selling the dual franchises.... which has been publicized the last 7-10 days..... same caveat as to why the Revolution have tried for years to get a Soccer Specific stadium venue.... we already have Foxboro and that's not Boston Metro (never mind the Commonwealth not advertising where Foxboro or Gillette Stadium is for tourists outside of New England, nevermind in the region.

For salary cap purposes the Mikal Bridges trade was tweaked a bit today before becoming official.

Are draft picks even important in the NBA? They seem like throw ins. But I been out of touch with the league for awhile.

depends with the evolution of the G-League.... the best way to describe it is very similiar to how Boston/Providence operate along w/ the ECHL affiliate.... in terms of philosophy.... then u have the 2 way contracts like what Drew Peterson just signed a few days ago.... much like Quieta and JD Davison and a few others that can be called in short notice.... there definitely not wasted picks and add in the Summer League the last 2 decades

With the new luxury tax/apron/whatever rules in play they are important, particularly for a team like the Celtics who really won’t have any other way of adding talent outside of veteran min contracts

Jaylen Brown rewards Celtics fans who returned lost championship ring

It feels like the Boston Celtics Championship parade was ages ago. Well, Celtics forward and MVP Jaylen Brown would probably agree since he lost his ring along the parade route and has been hoping to get it back. However, thanks to two good Samaritans, his nearly two-week search has come to an...

1st round pick Baylor Scheineman (#30) SIGNED to rookie contract; Summer League starts 7/13

We drafted and gave away Desmond Bane bc late first we’re deemed to be worthless by the good teams (hence drafting late) due to no confidence the pick would be worthy of a guaranteed roster spot.

We’re only scouting these guys now bc as you explain we have no other Avenue to add talent apart from unwanted vet minimum guys.
