It’ll never not be funny the number of people who thought a big body with a decent skill level who always brings his hard hat wasn’t gonna be able to hang around in the League. 37 million in guaranteed contracts and counting…..

Leading off w/ Trayce and Kel ‘el. ESPN knows where their viewership bread is buttered.

And Gonzaga it is

https://x.com/UnderdogSheed/status/1808499883277459955 ‘Sheed on Arvydas Sabonis. Love it. The most underrated player in the history of the game. Jokic before Jokic is absolutely right.. If he’d hit the NBA at 22 instead of 30 with a bad back he’d be uncontroversially in the conversation about the greatest center to ever play. Also excellent for the stray that Detlef Schrempf’s drinking habits takes.

To the extent that they bother to try to rationalize this thing they’re gonna put whispers out there that they think he can be a Tyrese Maxey-type and they actually stole him at 55. Would be willing to bet a mortgage payment that at some point during Summer League someone will make that comp on air.

Ok, I’m a little envious of Al now. Living and playing in the Basque region would be way, way above average.

https://x.com/TiptonEdits/status/1808531167894806844 Well, that was an adorably brief little recruitment. Barely had to pay any attention at all. Side note: That is a nice final list. Wherever he lands that is some fun basketball to play.

I can't believe this even needs to be re-stated. He's gonna have full control and an ownership stake wherever he goes next. I'm betting on whichever of Seattle or Vegas gets the next American expansion team. The Dude's coached his last game.

So, will NBA ownership sign off on the Saudi Public Investment Fund offering 20 billion for the Celtics?

https://x.com/SisleyTrent/status/1807889427206713377 Yup

https://x.com/Pacers/status/1807830040761323725 Gonna be a balancing act rooting for the Pacers summer league team to do well while wanting the Purdue kids to shoot 2 for a million. Semi-kidding

https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2024/7/1/womens-basketball-holmes-and-fields-named-graduate-managers-for-indiana-womens-basketball Mack joining the program as a Grad Mgr. The program is better for it.

https://x.com/MiamiHEAT/status/1807575238550421786 I gotta ask, what is that on his t-shirt?

Truthfully, I trust your up close opinion of Carlyle’s height more than I trust Goode’s.

https://x.com/NikeEYB/status/1807816432790446485 Carlyle with an invite to Chris Paul’s Elite Guard Camp. That is a really good camp with a bunch of good guards.

This is some Colorado fan breaking down Kendrick after they offered him. I wouldn’t pretend to try to judge WR talent, but his suddenness is startling. The guy makes a DeSean Jackson reference which was the 1st guy I thought of. He’s in another gear from everyone else.

Because the Dior Johnson clusterf*ck continues to fascinate me, update: Played last year at Clarendon JC in Texas, made it through the year, and was a JCAA after getting all the domestic abuse stuff while at Pitt pled down to misdemeanors. He’s apparently now going to UCF to play for Johnny Dawkins. Dawkins is also bringing in Mikey Williams, Williams’ HS teammate who was also involved in the gun thing, and some kid who got kicked out of Syracuse. Dawkins is officially the most desperate coach I’ve ever heard of.

https://x.com/IndianaMBB/status/1806698194165809393 If this is any indication, enjoy Myles Rice while you can.

https://x.com/IndianaMBB/status/1806783377162580420 Congrats to the young man. Another kid who will rep the school very, very well.

Love it. But, seriously, what is up with the number of pictures in which Woody’s not actually looking at the camera?

https://x.com/247HSHoops/status/1806742964305121365 Officially off the board. They had pretty clearly prioritized Brown though I don’t know if that was staff decision or an Acuff-was-going-nowhere decision.

It really is. Never underestimate the value of networking the living hell out of the influence peddlers in your industry. The V’s and Bilas’s and Seth Davis’s of the world freaking love him.
