NBA and NBA draft junky
Just looking at Spotrac projections for 26-27 (next year). If OKC kept everyone but Ous they are looking at $36.725 mill over the tax which makes them pay an extra $47.712 in tax if I'm figuring it correctly. Maybe @JonMHamm can check my work. Not crazy @AndrewKSchlecht
Nikola Topic and Nikola Djurisic are currently training together back at the Mega Basket facility. A high chance that both could be on the preliminary Serbian roster for EuroBasket 2025, expected to be released on Monday. (📸 Via IG: bcmegabasket)
I wonder if OKC promised Carlson a full time contract for next year if he stayed one more year. Most likely either IH or Jwill is gone next yr IMO so they'd need a 3rd big either way.
Josh Giddey 2nd year Vegas summer league stats... 13/8/5.5 34% fg 0% 3 5 TO's per game Topic 1st yr Vegas after not playing bball for 15 mos 11/7.3/3.3 36.1% fg 33% 3 3.7 TO's per game
🚨 INJURY UPDATE: Darius Bazley left the game and needed the wheelchair to get back to the locker room Prayers to him, it’s such a shame with how he was playing this summer
He stole one of Norm McDonald's ESPY jokes... youtube.com/watch?v=xgHWSt…
I will prob feel differently when the playoffs come around next year but especially since OKC already won one and I really do expect them to be better next year than this year I'm kind of excited that teams have gotten better at the top of the west. I want to see what we can do
For reference.. Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Pacers and widely considered the second loudest arena in the 2025 playoffs next to Loud City, has a seating capacity of 17,274. As Joe says here, the new arena may lose some seats but adds 200,000 or so square footage.
OKC’s new arena will be more intimate, OKC Mayor David Holt said. Capacity will likely be in the 17,000s, down from 18,203 at Paycom Center.
Shout out IHart for calling out Gilbert Arenas on his own show. 🤣🤣 🎥: @GilsArenaShow
The Thunder summer league schedule. The Nets are 0-2, the Pacers are 1-1 because they were down 16 and came back and won by 1at the end of their first game or they'd be 0-2. They play the Magic Tuesday who are 0-2 and the Pelicans Wed who are 0-2.
One thing about Topic, he's really making the right plays to get guys good shots. Giddey started that way but by the end he was looking for his own shot more than trying to make the right play imo. Will be interesting to see how Topic progresses.
