Who would have thought back when Jimmy Butler went on his tirade that Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns would have NBA titles (and be the 2nd or 3rd best player on a championship team) and Butler would just have Finals losses on the resume? Sports.

Nearly all of them. Once you get over the “insider stories” part, there’s nothing left. They’re not good conversationalists, not many insights, and they lean on having hot/provocative opinions like the worst journalists do. At the end, it all becomes about personal beefs.

Nigeria's elimination from World Cup qualifying means eight of the 10 most populous nations will not be at the tournament ❌ With the USA taking a host-nation berth, only one of the 10 countries with the world's biggest populations actually qualified 🤯
Last night, Payton Pritchard put up a +9.6 on offense and a -6.2 on defense, so that got me wondering what the biggest single-game differences between O and D points were this year. Here's the top 10 All stats from @deanolytics.bsky.social 's espnanalytics.com
From a deleted Shams graphic, it says Willie was fired after Pelicans start 0-6, the date when I initially reported Willie Green would be let go. But something delayed it 🤔
There is a huge gap between the top three teams in the league and everybody else then there's a big muddle in the middle then each bad team is bad in its own, special way
Pelicans once again do not introduce Willie Green. Earlier today I asked him if it was his decision and he said it was not.
Nico Harrison won't be getting a do-over or a second act. The Luka trade will stand as his legacy. Latest from me, at The Ringer:
Nico Harrison’s Firing Cements His Place in NBA Hell
NBA history is littered with bad general managers, but only one made the worst trade ever

Dumont had a conversation with a fan and fired Nico the next day. Gotta respect that. If only the Pelicans ownership group was willing to listen as well.
Leaking that you’re about to fire someone is the textbook definition of a well-run organization.

A couple of mutuals got doxxed today. Their addresses got leaked. What's the best way to prevent it? Any tips on staying safe?
It takes an astounding amount of arrogance to trade your first round pick unprotected when the last 6 years have shown that the Pelicans cannot win without Zion Williamson and that Zion Williamson cannot stay healthy
“this has to be rock bottom” the pelicans:
Michael Scotto@mikeascotto.bsky.social · 11mo agoNew Orleans Pelicans say Zion Williamson has been diagnosed with a grade 1 left hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days. Williamson has led the NBA in free throw attempts (11.4) so far this season.
If there is a synonym for “cursed” that indicates something way worse than a curse, that is the word I would use to describe the New Orleans Pelicans
Tear it all the fuck down. Become the Savannah Bananas of basketball for all I care

I said this in the preseason, which now feels like decades ago. It’s now a DIRECT SHOT at New Orleans Sports franchises. Do not support these teams who refuse to put out a viable product.
