Christian Wood to the Lakers.

I also find it interesting that Giannis has essentially stated that if the Bucks don't a chip this year (or at least make a valiant effort to do so), he's leaving them. What would be some places he would go? Spurs with Wembanyama? Knicks with Julius Randle? Nets? GS would be sick, so would tge Mavericks, but I don't see that as very realistic. What do y'all think?

Giannis on the Spurs with Wemby.

...That thought is so appealing I want to date it.

Serbia and Germany final will be quite something. Both countries have great NBA players even though Nikola Jokic sat out of the tournament due to his intense NBA finals run. At least the US failed to get to the final.

Harden going to the Clippers.

James, when you ringchase, you're supposed to go to a team with an actual chance of winning the title...

All I hope for is to watch all three of them load manage so hard that they miss the playoffs, and then they all retire in shame.

Refs try not to take the game away from the Warriors challenge (impossible)

Ime Udoka got ejected for calling Lebron a bitch.

He is now my favorite coach in any sport ever.

So Lebron got his feelings all hurt and got someone ejected. He's done it to fans before because he has a fragile ego.

Draymond suspended indefinitely for punching Nurkic.

Jackass.

George McGinnis dead at 73.

George McGinnis, whose rare combination of size and agility made him a pillar of two early 1970s championship teams in the upstart American Basketball Association, but whose heralded pairing with Julius Erving on the N.B.A.’s Philadelphia 76ers failed to fulfill expectations of a title, died on Thursday in Indianapolis. He was 73.

The Indiana Pacers, the team with which he won his A.B.A. titles, said his death, in a hospital, resulted from complications of cardiac arrest, which he suffered last week at his home in Indianapolis. McGinnis had struggled to walk in recent years after undergoing multiple back surgeries because of a hereditary condition, the team said.

McGinnis played at the high school, college and professional levels in basketball-obsessed Indiana, where he broke Oscar Robertson’s scholastic scoring records while leading Washington High School in Indianapolis to a 31-0 record and a championship in 1969.

The Wizards and Spurs actually won. Meanwhile, the Pistons lost by 30 points and got fucking steamrolled by Embiid and the Sixers for a second straight game.

I didn't even know who the Raptors head coach was yesterday, but he might be my new favorite coach now for calling out the BS ref bias the Lakers get.

To prove the NBA never learns, Doc Rivers has somehow landed the Bucks coaching job.

What a fiasco. First you fire Budenholzer, your former coach of the year who led the franchise to their first championship in 50 years. All over one admittedly bad playoff showing. Then you fire the guy who took over for him, despite winning almost 75% of the games he coached. Now you bring in a guy who is best known for epic playoff collapses?

Something is rotten in the front office in Milwaukee.

Get ready for another second round exit. Doc will think he can replicate his 08 title with Boston with this Bucks squad full of veterans.

Refs when the Lakers are losing:

Bronny James declared for the draft.

Averages 4 points and 2 rebounds a game, and he thinks he's NBA ready. Isn't nepotism grand?

Daddy pumped him up so much that his head is the size of Mount Rushmore.
