Unless he's spent his rehab time bulking up, he better hope they don't ask him to play a ton of minutes. That isn't a frame made for an 82 game grind.

Unless he's gonna do the Durant thing, same deal. I expect they'll put him on whatever feeding regimen that Porzingis was on though.

John Collins was probably the 2nd best player on the Hawks team that made the Eastern finals and he just got traded for Rudy Gay. He sucked hard last year and his contract was awful

It reminds me a lot of KG and the Wolves before the trade. The media loves guys who want to be one franchise guys for their entire career. He's also been much less disgruntled than a lot of guys would be in the same circumstance, so I think reporters give him a lot of credit for sticking around despite the org pretty consistently not making great decisions.

Bleacher Report - Basketball in China Part II: The Evolution posted:

An estimated 300 million Chinese citizens play basketball — roughly equivalent to the entire population of the United States, according to the Chinese Basketball Association.

FIBA Under-19 World Cup
Round of 16
Halftime
CHN 35
USA 50

Asa Newell and Tobe Awaka have made it very difficult for bigs like Hansen Yang and Hoaran Wang but that's the main way China have scored today. Either that or the free throw line, China are 1/11 from three.

United States are 11/22 in the paint, and 4/10 from three. The American roster is really deep so I don't really expect many gaudy scorelines unless China tightens the gap, in the blowout games each player got about a minimum of ten minutes. United States has beaten China in their last six matches and the margin has been least sixteen or greater in each one.

...
as I typed out that dismissal, China went on a 13-2 run.

China were up 59-58 and haven't scored in five minutes.
By the time they end the drought its 61-77 USA.

In the Brazil-Argentina game, with Brazil down by four and shooting two, Vitor Da Silva BRANDÃO made the first and intentionally missed the second. The deflect hard off the front of the rim came right back to it. A defender came up to him and knocked the ball out of bounds but his team got possession again in the front court down three with two seconds.

REYNAN Santos rebounded like a monster and had to leave early after needing to foul twice to induce forced bonus

Victor Wembanyama won't play for France in FIBA World Cup: 'I think it's a necessary sacrifice'
Liz Roscher, yahoo! sports

Liz Roscher posted:

Wembanyama hasn't had much time to rest lately. He's been playing with Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92, his team in France, since September 2022, a 62-game stretch that ended June 15, when Boulogne-Levallois lost in the LNB Pro A finals. From there he went to the NBA Draft, and after a stopover in San Antonio to visit his new city and venue, he's headed to the NBA Summer League.

If Wembanyama had decided to play for France in the FIBA World Cup, he would have gone from Summer League, which ends July 17, right to France to practice with the team. The FIBA World Cup runs from Aug. 25 to Sept. 10, which means he would have gone from that event directly to NBA training camp.

article says there was no pressure from the spurs, but i says coach pop definitely just introduced victor to the duncan dynasty team to instill that purestrain spurs culture. spurs western conference semis this year, finals the next year. spurs are inevitable.

Sixers star James Harden has decided to exercise his $35.6MM player option for 2023/24, but he doesn’t intend to return to Philadelphia, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link). According to Charania, the plan is for Harden to work together with the 76ers to find him a new home via trade.

any residual value he has for his on court ability will be heavily deprecated by the fact that who ever traded for him will have to sign him to a huge deal

Harden for KAT would be a hilarious trade. We probably even have the defense to cover up for him if we're not covering for KAT.

NBA rules say we can't trade the ones we kept since teams gotta have a first rounder every other year and we gave up all our first round picks for Gobert (along with pick swaps). All we got are 2nds and whoever is still under contract.
