The Wiz are scrappy and almost beat the Knicks. They were playing without Poole and Kuzma. NY on a b2b but they needed 55 from Brunson to win in OT.

Wiz might be getting good enough to pass Toronto but sadly our starters and weaker schedule are all coming in 2025.

An interesting article about the trend to make the centre/power forward position a double big pairing like Allen/Mobley or Giannis/Lopez or Williams/Holmgren or Edey/Jackson Jr.

Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Lebron took the high road and refused to get into it with him, but Riley has finally met his match.

Memphis should go for him!

Marcus Smart, Brandon Clarke, Luke Kennard and 1st pick
For
Jimmy Buter and Kevin Love

Pistons trade: THJr, Simone Fontecchio and 2nd pick (Tor)
Miami trades: Jimmy Butler and cash

This would get the Heat under the tax by quite a bit. Saving $20 million of payroll (plus taxes) is worth two 1st picks.

Unless they think they have enough with Bam and Herro for a playoff push this year, that's not a great trade for them. They need more than a Marcus smart:

OKC is doing all of this without their 2nd most impactful player .. showing the Knicks theres levels to it.
