Wonder what the domino effect would’ve been for the current Nets had the Lakers done the Hield trade with Sacramento last summer instead of the Westbrook trade.
Like, would the Kyrie deal have already happened? Would Durant already be gone, too? – 7:50 PM Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin

Two teams expected to battle for an Eastern Conference playoff spot. Evan Mobley vs. Scottie Barnes. Darius Garland vs. Fred VanVleet. #Cavs and Raptors. Sounds like a spicy opener to me

A simple tweet: “Free Hong Kong, Free Taiwan”. Gone the next day….. -via Twitter / August 19, 2022 Watching NBA players in action isn’t always financially feasible for many basketball fans. But for just 15 dollars, fans at Highland High got to see NBA stars like former Ute Kyle Kuzma of the Washington Wizards, his former Utah teammate Delon Wright, who is also with the Wizards, Denver Nuggets star Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and NBA Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes put on a show Tuesday night. -via ABC4 / August 10, 2022 “It feels good to put on a show,” said Barnes, a budding star with the Toronto Raptors. “Do it for the kids, do it for the people that can’t got out and see an NBA game. This is a good opportunity for them to watch us play here, and we had a good amount of talent in the gym tonight.” -via ABC4 / August 10, 2022 As these pro-am leagues continue to grow, expect to see even more NBA players join in. “For sure,” Barnes said. “I love playing in the pro-ams, these pick-up games. So, next off season, I’ll probably do it way more.” -via ABC4 / August 10, 2022
