man Golden State desperately needs someone who can score from two but she might too drastically change their whole identity. Dream or Mystics I think should make a push tho

Kelsey Plum to Golden State Valkyries trade makes too much sense not to happen
If Kelsey Plum is available at the WNBA trade deadline, the Valkyries need to strike.

This had to be the best Chicago concert week of the year: Pavement, Broken Social Scene, Jeff Rosenstock x9, Bren Lukans return, Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band, Ovlov, Styrofoam Winos, First Day Back, and I’m told Hilary Duff tonight. Nothing but heaters.

Almost everything about this White Sox season has been too good to be true, but I especially cannot believe they pulled two sick outfielders literally out of nowhere with Sam Antonacci and Tristan Peters

LeBron James’ free agency frontrunner might actually be the 76ers
LeBron the Sixers? It really might happen.

I’m really really happy about Burries. Even if he doesn’t play tomorrow, I feel confident he’ll get some minutes this season
Ricky O'Donnell@rickyodonn.bsky.social · 3w agoI ranked the best rookies in NBA Summer League www.sbnation.com/nba/1122428/...
Thinking about how Mitski had one of the most clairvoyant album titles ever as I walk around in the air that feels like smoking two packs of cigarettes at once
Thus far we are only two lines into The Body The Blood The Machine which tells me it’s gonna be a big summer
Essengue not even one of the first two guys off the bench. He’s the eighth man on the summer league team 😭
Caleb Wilson's three-point rate at UNC: 9% Caleb Wilson's three-point rate in summer league: 47% 3Pr is the stat that translates best from SL to regular season, per Owen Phillips. I'm convinced Caleb is going to shoot a lot of threes as a rookie, and probably shoot them well.
The driving lanes have been wide open for the Sky today with Cardoso out with injury. Seattle's poor perimeter defense is part of it, but the spacing looks great and the ball is moving. Chloe Bibby, who signed a couple weeks ago, adding more frontcourt shooting has been critical.
