Remember that 2 week stretch where people were calling him Giannis?

Wire tap mentioned Blazers not impressed with Heats offer for Dame. Also they need a third team. Nets wanted to be the third team. But no one wants Simmons.

I still think Bol Bol has an intriguing skill set. He’s a good shooter and shot blocker, curious to see where he lands. Hopefully with the Spurs

Bol Bol = Player XYZ

RealGM poster: I'd like to see the Bucks sign Player XYZ.

A sensible step forward. Will be interesting to see how it's called by refs though. I think we'll still see a lot of flopping but at least this might tone it down a tad.

I like that it doesn't count toward ejections. There's no reason not to call it now.

Boston clearly had inside information about this

Can you challenge a flop now?

I think a BS foul will def be overturnable to a flop call if warranted. Like if Smart draws a foul due to a flop, the coach could challenge it and the call reversed to a flop.

Has the NBA changed the rule yet about the 1 and done challenge? I.e. if you challenge a call and get it right, you retain your challenge to use later in the game.

Remember the takes? Area shtposter does.

In February, the Celtics traded Bol to the Magic for a future protected second-round pick. Now, some corners of NBA Twitter are arguing he’s the real Victor Wembanyama.

Ah, relying on unattributed tweets to bolster one's case you hate too see it.

Whole piece is a barrel of seven month-old laughs, but tbf the take machine requires takes. Know the landscape, plot the course.

As much as I loved Dame, if the reports are true this is way worse than the decision. At least James was a free agent. Dame just signed an extension and locked in 4 years for 220m and feels he can have a NTC retroactively added?

I don't have a problem with anything Dame has done thus far, or anything Portland has done thus far. Both sides are doing what they believe is best for them. If Dame makes it known that he prefers Miami to add additional incentive to get Miami to do a deal and to try to disincentivize others, that makes sense. Where I don't think we are and where I'd be surprised we get to is Dame saying he will only go to Miami
