The students of Edmond Memorial High School give the Thunder’s summer a F minus (Also reminded of Steven Adams, when asked about how he feet about the Thunder trading Enes Kanter, said “he’s not dead, mate”)

Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2” has long been my favorite Spidey film, even though the Tom Holland movies have been terrific. I think I might have a new fave. Give Destin Daniel Cretton the keys to this franchise.

Prediction markets need to be burned to the ground because if you were following tea leaves this whole time, you were trusting unsubstantiated rumors about LeBron going to Miami and you probably just lost a ton of money. What a slimey little racket.

How much does the NBA change over in 5 years????? None of the 30 NBA teams have more than 4 players left from the 2021-22 rosters Only 12 teams have more than ONE player left. And only six coaches from 2021-22 too (Carlisle, Spoelstra, Finch, Daigneault, Kerr, Lue)

pretty interesting how I skimmed right past the financial aspect of the Dort trade and went into the Basketball Reasons behind it, and then Sam Presti tells The Oklahoman -*on the record* for the first time in who knows how long outside of media availability- that the move was *all* about finances.

Forget the cash savings (which will be significant), it was simply time for OKC to move on from Lu Dort. JDub can assume the bigger wing defensive assignments. Cason Wallace still around for point-of-attack defense. Ajay Mitchell is ready. McCain deserves minutes. OKC needs to see what Topic is.

Lu Dort was the longest-tenured Thunder player. His signing was 4 days before The Paul George Trade was official, though he’d agreed to the deal on draft night. In some ways, he’s a relic from the old days. Brought in with PG and Russ in mind. Became a core piece of a rebuilt core.

Signed Luguentz Dort to a two-way contract.
