Love the hit pieces on players after they are traded.

however, that definitely tracks with all the stuff jaylen brown has said over the years.

This sounds dumb. 

The NBA is testing a one free throw rule in summer league. 

Any foul that would normally result in one, two, or three free throws will be replaced by a single free throw attempt. That attempt will be worth the same amount of points as the free throws it replaced. 

So if you get fouled on a 3PT shot and are awarded 3 free throws, you only shoot one. Make it and you get three points. Miss it and you get nothing.

lets fix the thing that no one complains about, and ignore the real issues the game has. I only wonder how this benefits the sports books, as thats the only thing that the league would really care about.

Tim Hardaway Jr. wears #10 and Miami had that number retired. So he put in a request to wear it and the request was denied. The person that denied the request? His dad.

They're trying to make the game move faster so youngsters with Tik-Tok Brain don't get bored and distracted by something else.

A better answer would be to stop calling so many fouls when guys are just baiting and the offense is initiating the contact.

Stupidest idea ever...what's next..awarding points for shots missed at the rim?  I mean..they usually make that shot, so shy not?

After considering how implausibly nuts the Brown deal was, I think the Pistons should contact Denver RE:a S&T Duren for Jokic....and whatever pieces each side needs to toss in.

People are speculating that Lebron will do a season long documentary with whichever teams he picks.  They think he will produce it himself to recoup the salary he will lose playing on a minimum contract.  People also think it gives Cleveland a leg up since it would make the best story.

Guess a one hour special on where he will sign doesn't cut it anymore?

Don't tell me this isn't being filmed for a doc.

It's so good.  The whiteboard, the pointer, Kellerman treating it like he is Cronkite interviewing JFK.  

It doesn't show it in this clip.  But when talking about Denver, Rich Paul pronounces the hard J in Jokic.  

Nobody does the offseason like the NBA

Basketball related income was less than expected last year. All player salaries from last year will be 5.5% lower than reported. 

Through the season 10% of all players salaries are put in an escrow account to cover this.
