Lively out-playing Wemby is funny and I don't think anyone thinks he'll have a better career, but so far in pre-season and in game 1 Lively looks pretty good! Like right now he's probably more of an x factor off the bench as I am not sure I'd trust 30 minutes of defense every single game, but he's got energy and not afraid of doing things and doesn't seem bothered by NBA speed and athleticism which are all the most important things you reasonably can hope for out of a 19 year old center.

Be optimistic about him.
On the other hand it made Mark Cuban happy so

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Harden calling the NBA going "Load Management!!" as the next step of his "Get Traded" plan

Taking AD's gambit to the next level, this is why Harden is the master of this.

lol Harden trade drama is the best drama

quote:

Initially, staying back was interpreted as a suggestion rather than a mandate, sources say. Harden proceeded to participate in portions of the session with the intention of joining the the team on the flight to Milwaukee that afternoon.

After practice, Harden arrived at the fixed-base operator airport to board the team flight, but he was stopped by a security official who notified him that he was not permitted to accompany the team, sources say.

I mean, unironically yes.

This is an absolutely a healthy scratch of a "star" player (by NBA definition). 76ers should be fined or the new rule is toothless.

The city jerseys must sell well because every year they get dragged and yet every year they keep putting out more

i also think they must sell well, not because they look good but because the opposite, they look ugly and Unique. aside from the novelty, i suspect a speculator's market exists for memorabilia. one already exists for sneakers no? that if a player hits a milestone on a night where they wear a city jersey, a signed edition of that jersey can be resold to either a later speculator or a fanatic collector, authentic or forged hardly matters.

the nba got into and out of nft's pretty dang fast, i guess it would be more likely you can convince an average passerby to care about an ugly christmas sweater.
