Wow.

This felt inevitable.

Surprised he went for so little.

He'll put up some stellar empty stats on a last place team this fall.

You might be right, but he is an upgrade to Poole, and Wiz have finally done something right.

Nuggets believe Jonas Valanciunas will be in Denver this season

The Jonas Valanciunas saga might have arrived at an ending point, with the Lithuanian center expected to stay with the Denver Nuggets despite the huge offer coming from Panathinaikos. According to Vic Lombardi, the franchise and the experienced player have agreed on staying together, especially if Jonas Valanciunas’ second season with Denver will be guaranteed. “The Nuggets believe he will play here and time will heal,” it was said during Altitude SR 92.5’s show. And when Lombardi is asked if Valanciunas is going to stay if he gets his second year guaranteed, his answer is: “100%, because this will give him stability”. – via EuroHoops.net

Flipped upside down made me laugh.

His next team is an option to wager on.

I personally doubt new owner Mark Walter will want to deal with Lebron.

I really wish there was a 16 seed playoff.

Would be so much more fun to see all the best 8 teams advance out of the 1st round.

Seth Curry: 'Steph would love me to come over there and play with him'
Jul. 17, 2025, 4:37 AM PDT
As the best available shooter, Seth would be a logical candidate for any of those teams. He led the NBA last season in 3-point shooting percentage at 45.6 percent. His career 43.3-percent shooting from deep places him second among active players, behind Atlanta Hawks wing Luke Kennard (43.8) and just ahead of his third-place brother (42.3). “I always have to do what's best for myself,” Seth Curry says. “Obviously, Steph would love me to come over there and play with him. And the fans showed me a lot of love at all times. (Our) Family would love it. I've obviously I've always embraced the Warriors and their system and love the way they play. And you never know what can happen.”
