Former first round pick Josh Jackson being accuse of rape & batttery…don’t know if it’s true or not but when will these players learn?

Thank God that Jackson made the Tatum decision extremely easy for Danny.

Lakers have waived forward Vincent Valerio-Bodon and guards Damion Baugh and Scotty Pippen Jr, according to a team press release relayed by The Athletic’s Jovan Buha (Twitter link).

Bodon got run in our last preseason game and looked good.  Wonder if he gets claimed and sent to main or signed to replace scrubb as the last 2 way.

Ben Simmons with two highlight plays tonight against none other than his former team the 76ers.

Drains a 3pt shot in the 4th, and a steal leading to a wide open (gasp) dunk!

Wonder if he'll get a confident booster and have a redemption season this year.

Amazing how much better players perform when their contract is almost up. Simmons wants another pay day, I expect he’ll dial it up these next 2 years

He had 8, 6, 9 and a 8 turnovers. That’s not getting a big contract. If anything it was a bit concerning he played 30 minutes in a game Embid, harden sat and maxey played 15 mins.

Buck lose to OKC 101-124. Giannis and Lillard both played 25 mins. Dame not looking good. 5pts, 4ast, 2rebs. Shot 2-11 from the field and 0-5 from 3pt. Glad we have Jrue instead.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Harden has skipped practice and is currently hanging out in the Houston area. This really is not going to end well.

Ugh. Imagine if he landed there? Jalen Green already needs help on defense. I can't imagine that Ime wants to watch Harden have a negative influence on his young team.

The fact of the matter is that Trae Young and Luka Doncic are barely good enough on offense to carry their absence on the defensive side. Harden isn't that good anymore.

Knicks release Isaiah Roby.

Sign him, Brad.

Better backup power forward than Brissett imo.

That is pretty surprising. I thought he was a nice pickup for NY. Although I suppose he is not really a Thibs player. More of an offensive guy than a defensive guy or two-way player. That guy Jericho Sims last night looked much more like a Knicks / Thibs player than Roby does.

Still, that is NY that has given up on him. San Antonio and Popovich gave up on him in the summer. OKC and Sam Presti gave up on him a year ago. Three well run teams.

As much as I hate the Sixers and love to clown on them, this guy is a massive loser

Also I love how he's now directly blaming ownership for the fact that they didn't want to keep him for life in Philly, even though he legit requested the trade and still hopes for one. And btw pal, it's a business. You haven't done squat for Philly either so why do they owe you anything.

It still bugs me we somehow let this guy put up 40+ on us twice in the series last spring, but Game 7 was a fitting ending overall with Harden clearly quitting and not trying either

While I don’t think anyone has sympathy for harden, Morey also should have figured this was a possibility after dealing with him for ten years

Reportedly Philly is willing to accept a first, a swap, filler and Terrence Mann.  LA says Mann is untouchable.

To me, that's a bit silly.  Mann is 27 (happy birthday), without great size or production.  If the Clippers actually want Harden, it's an odd roadblock.
