This was a fun one to write: I ranked all 30 NBA teams' worst mistakes of the 2020s thus far, from confounding contracts to disastrous draft picks to franchise-altering terrible trades espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

I don't understand the sentiment I've seen on here that Bradley Beal is an upgrade over Norm Powell at this stage of their careers

SGA will earn almost $1 million per game in the final year of his new supermax contract. The first NBA player to cross that threshold is coming soon. I dove into all the implications of this financial milestone in a new piece for ESPN. espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

zachkram's tweet card. The reigning MVP will get close, but the league is still waiting for its first $82 million per year player.

I tiered the 15 Western Conference teams after the initial offseason flurry. The Thunder are in a group of their own, but who's closest to catching the champs? espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

zachkram's tweet card. Did any West team do enough to challenge the champs? Zach Kram runs through a new-look conference.

Wrote about Luke Kornet in today's piece (espn.com/nba/story/_/id…). Advanced stats *love* his impact on both ends.

Free agent center Luke Kornet has agreed to a four-year, $41 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs, sources tell ESPN. Key frontcourt addition for the Spurs, who negotiated a contract tonight with Kornet's agent Max Wiepking of Gersh Sports.

My draft value chart has the difference between the 13th and 23rd picks as equivalent to no. 28. In other words, as long as the Pelicans and Bucks aren't 2 of the 3 best teams in the NBA next season, the Hawks won this trade based on pick value.

ZZach Kram@zachkram · Jun 26

The Pelicans project as a bottom-3 team in the West and just gave up next year's unprotected pick (or the Bucks' pick if they trade Giannis)???

- SGA stepback 3 - SGA kickout to Chet for 3 - SGA kickout to J-Dub for 3 The platonic ideal of an offensive sequence for the Thunder, turning a tie game into a 9-point lead

The first 7 minutes of this game were phenomenal. Can't believe it just screeched to a halt like that.
