We're looking at a potential season sweep of the Lakers by the Kings!!!

Lebron 3-12 with 9 points. If we can hold him to 0 points in the 4th we can end his double digit point streak at 1208!

The West is back to having something like a 56% winning percentage against the East. Guess the fluke years of Durant/Harden/Kyrie going East are over

We gotta really stretch the definition of healthy/unhealthy here as two of them were out for bizarro reasons such as going to strip clubs, not getting the vaxx, being anti-Semitic, etc.

Can someone explain to me the point of a ten-day contract

I'm happy for IT but if it's just a week and a half it kind of feels more like an activity than a comeback

Celtics should hire IT as a Front Office / Bench Coach no-show job for $15m a year to make good and end the curse.

for the team the point is to take a flyer, give some bench guys some rest, see if you can work some magic.

for the player - you get to be on, and travel with, an NBA team for a week and a half. plus you get a pay raise to do it. I can't imagine many cooler ways for someone to spend ten days

Also useful for when injuries pile up and they need someone to step in briefly off the bench but they anticipate getting guys back and so they don't want to sign someone for the remainder of the season.

A couple years ago the Wolves had a shitload of injuries and then they had a couple more guys out on extremely short notice so they were forced to sign a guy to a 10 day contract simply because he was able to make it to the arena on like three hours notice, otherwise they would have had to forfeit because they didn't have a full team.

Giddey is a fuckin nobody 20 year old in OKC he has no Kobe pull, I bet he paid the family off, they probably didn’t think it was egregious enough to press the issue

e: also he's Australian. gently caress that continent

He definitely paid off the family and any witnesses and so the league was all like "welp we have video evidence of him getting naked with a 15 year old but that doesn't prove statutory rape so we have no choice but to sweep this under the rug"
