That's a role that a ton of teams have. Regardless of what they name it.

A Liaison between the players and the Front office about the facilities or other things and concerns that players have that management might need to address.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Warriors have plenty of playmaking and defense this year. I'm not sure I'd take a straight swap for Wiggins at this point. Very excited for the Frankenstein's Monster of a trade coming if Philly ever does unload Harris/Simmons.

Simmons prefers a trade to FaZe Clan, but at this time understands that he will have to continue playing basketball to pay for a 3090.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

That's a good promotion.



The Blazers look like not the worst team in the league like they did with him so seems like a good time to take some time off and see if that lasts or not for everyone.

The Lakers would like it if the Raptors gave them a good player who is having a career year, on a good contract, for a player who is not working out as they had hoped.

Kind of interesting psychologically that an entire screaming arena doesn’t bother a player, but a single jumping dinosaur in an empty arena does.

Reminds me of a hypothesis I’ve had that getting an entire arena to be 100% silent when an opponent is shooting FTs could be a better strategy than the usual hooting and hollering.

Awhile ago someone posted some findings on this. Players are largely able to filter out all the random noise pretty well.

Instead of waving arms willy nilly it’s way more effective to get a coordinated back and forth arm wave motion going

KPJ's well-documented general knuckleheadery seems destined to be his undoing at some point in his young career, but 12 pts and 3/3 from deep in the last 4ish minutes of tonight's win against the Spurs is objectively dope. I hope he figures things out
