I can't believe he's fallen to signing 10 day contracts.

That's the Houston Rockets for you. What a joke.

That's brutal to watch. WTF was Eason doing, there was no reason to body check him like that.

That is a really dirty play. Even the duke version of Grayson Allen would blush.

Any punishment from the Aspiration scandal is expected to center on Kawhi Leonard’s contract, with insiders believing the Clippers will avoid major discipline, per
@timkawakami
“A lot of rumors of the Clippers thing about to come down. I heard it’s gonna be Kawhi-centric…The rumors I’ve heard is that it’s gonna be less about the Clippers and more about what’s gonna happen to Kawhi’s contract.”

Cavaliers PG James Harden suffered a fracture in his right thumb during Tuesday's win vs. the Knicks, the team announced.

 

[Hoop Head]

Saw this yesterday. Hope he gets on the HOF this year as he's a finalist. Marques Johnson dunks at 70 years old.

He dunks on his birthday every year but this year being a milestone and also being a HOF finalist helped give him more coverage.

He had a good career also with the Bucks and Clippers. Former 5x All-Star.

With the Suns struggling, there's a little bit of schadenfreude reading the latest hit piece on Ayton: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...ntract-lebron-james-luka-doncic-2026-playoffs

When he was finished speaking to the group, Ayton made his way back toward the showers and said what he really felt -- loud enough for anyone still in the locker room to hear.

"They're trying to make me Clint Capela," Ayton said, referring to the Houston Rockets' now backup center, who a decade ago made his impact as a lob-catching, rim-running big on a team that made it to two conference finals.

"I'm not no Clint Capela!"

The Lakers have stoked that ego, too: Rob Pelinka, team president of basketball operations and general manager, commissioned a black T-shirt with a gold screen print depicting half of a lion's face and half of Ayton's face that he presented to the 27-year-old. Members of the training staff wrap Ayton's water bottle in athletic tape and write "DA's Crunk Juice -- Drink this to unleash the beast" in black marker on it before games.

Ayton should take lessons. That's what the Lakers need. That's what the Suns needed.

I'd rather he not learn now with the Lakers.

 

[leclerc]

I'm more surprised he had a PR team.

You don't have one?

 

[leclerc]

Who is Ayton really? 0.5 FTA about 3 REBS.
