The Bears need a center, so clearly they should acquire Danish Hjalte Froholdt.

Early returns on James Harden, Jonathan Kuminga and the biggest trade deadline moves It's been a month since the trade deadline, so let's check in on how some of the bigger names are performing on their new teams.

From earlier, at Y! Sports: A month after the trade deadline, some thoughts on how James Harden, Jared McCain, Jonathan Kuminga, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and a bunch of other dudes who got dealt are fitting into their new spots: yhoo.it/40dgnho

I don't bet, generally speaking. Can't afford to.

Before the season, I said the Spurs could absolutely win 50-55 games, and was told I was being way too ambitious on their behalf.

Well, well, well, how the turntables.

I'm getting more and more convinced that he's been told he's dying, and have decided to burn shit down while he has time.

The Pistons are finding some footing in the second quarter, but their offensive floor - in playoff context - is so, so low.

Still think they made a mistake in not trying to add a significant piece before the trade deadline.

Ah yes.

Dunker - Oklahoma.

Fitting.

Laugh away, but if you'd rather face Boston than a Pistons team that's amongst the worst spacing units in the league (which never translates well to the postseason), you could end up disappointed.

I do like Detroit myself, but not having a reliable 3-ball is a huge problem.

Worst-kept secret in the NBA.

If he's just 70% of his usual self this season, the Celtics suddenly become the team to beat in the East.

(And I wanted them to tank before the season...)

O/u on Bryan Toporek crying 6.5 times between now and June, due to Jared McCain trade.

If a player has 32 blocks over his last 205 minutes, is that good?

04.03.2026 15:23 ๐Ÿ‘ 6 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I did not, as I was busy watching the Spurs skullfuck the everlasting shit out of your Sixers.

Hey Bry, are you aware that Jared McCain is averaging 12.5 points in 20 minutes per night, on 49/43/89 shooting splits, after getting salary-dumped to OKC, while the Sixers are ravaged?

Huh? Did you know that?

If you didn't, are you aware of it now? Huh, Bry? Is that information useful to you?

The Monsterverse is exclusively a tale of humans triggering titan events, with Kong & Zilla cleaning everything up on their behalf.

It's basically a franchise about monster custodians.

Yeah, the NBA just turned this NBA on NBC throwback broadcast into a problem.

I already want more of it.

Let's get frank on the tank: How can teams improve if roster construction tools keep getting limited? With the power of free agency, the trade market and possibly the draft becoming more limited for franchises, things could get bleak for non-destination teams.

For decades, three roster construction tools have dominated the NBA.

- The draft

- Free agency

- Trading

With the NBA possibility diminishing the effects of the draft, and with free agency essentially dead, what exactly are teams to do?

"Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Snooze-G, Lame-to-the-Nth-Degree,

I guess even back then I was boring like a Blockbuster late fee, really, you should never vote for me, I'm the human manifestation of hypocrisy."

6-year-old: Dad, why is it important to have a girlfriend?

Me: I don't think it's important, but it's nice to have someone you care about, don't you think?

Him: I have girlfriends.

Me: Girlfriends? How many do you have?

Him: I don't know. But not enough.

Okay, then!

Whoever introduces him at the Hall Of Fame should say just that, and leave the stage.

@nbabeau.bsky.social De'Aaron Fox with a clutch bucket as he shot it from behind the backboard. Within the last minute or so in the game.

If Champagnie adds that element to his game, that's an internal solve for the type of wing they need.

A 6'8 guy who can play off ball, but also initiate plays? Yes, please.

This is what's scary about Wemby.

He can't BUY a bucket, so he just decides to morph into prime Bill Russell defensively.
