[Miami Herald] On Friday, Prince made his first appearance in Miami-Dade court and was granted a $2,500 bond. His defense lawyer, David Weinstein, said the charge was already being dismissed in Tarrant County, Texas, and stemmed from a trace amount of marijuana found during a traffic stop.

Prince was unaware that police had filed the warrant for the low-level felony, Weinsten said.

“If he had known warrant existed, he would have surrendered,” Weinstein told Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer.

Prince, who said he was in Miami training, assured the judge he will return to Texas, where he lives.

“Make sure you go to Texas and deal with your open warrant,” Glazer told him.

One of the weirdest takes I've seen in basketball is that LeBron is a pass first player, who else disagrees.

Lebron is absolutely a score first player. He's the greatest slasher in nba history, he's going to be the all time league top scorer. He's won a scoring title. He's imo a score first player who is simultaneously one of the best passers of all time. That doesn't make him a pass first player.

Mavs just f’d over thousands of STHs by assigning them a preseason game in their 10-game mini plan

The “weekend plan” , a 10-game mini plan, was allocated a preseason game on Friday October 7 vs Orlando as one of their 10 games. There are 4 mini plans offered by the Mavs and this is the only one that has a preseason game. Prices of the plan are by game so members are paying the same price for the preseason game as all other games in the plan.

The Christmas Lakers game and the 12/27 Knicks game were not offered in any of the 4 plans, leaving 39 available games across the 4 plans. So essentially the Mavs said “we will give you a preseason game so we can make more $$$ of selling individual tickets for 2 big games”

[Charania]: Brooklyn has made clear to interested teams that they plan to keep Kyrie, according to sources.

For their part, the Nets believe they have improved the roster and have a championship-level team. The Nets traded for Royce O’Neale, signed T.J. Warren and brought back Patty Mills and Nic Claxton while expecting the full returns of three-time All-Star Simmons and Joe Harris. All-Star Kyrie Irving also opted into his $37 million player option, committed to the 2022-23 season in Brooklyn and sources with knowledge of the situation say he has been working out with teammates and holding constructive dialogue with the organization this offseason. Brooklyn has made clear to interested teams that they plan to keep the seven-time All-Star, according to sources. The Nets were without Simmons and Harris for the majority of last season, including their playoff series against Boston, but both are set to provide a major boost to the upcoming campaign.

Simmons has been cleared for three-on-three basketball activities following back surgery in May, and he is on track to be cleared for full five-on-five activities in the coming weeks, league sources say. The Nets and Simmons expect him to be ready for training camp in late September.

[OC] Why big men age faster and how to fix it, feat. Albert Einstein

It's a common notion around the NBA that the big men of the game often age faster. For example, take Greg Oden, a 7-foot big man who came into the league at just 19 and was hyped as a great big man. However, after the age of 22, he played only 23 more games in the NBA. Further carbon dating performed on his body revealed his biological age to be roughly 500 years. How could this be?

Enter Albert Einstein. The father of the theory of general relativity. This theory tells us that objects closer to a massive object (like the Earth) experience time ticking more slowly than objects further from that same object. This is known as gravitational time dilation, a key consequence of general relativity. This effect is so profound that increasing your height by about a foot will speed up time by about one nanosecond per year (a source). No wonder our big men are reaching impotence at such young ages. But what can be done to allow the big man to remain robust into old age?

My first proposal would be to instruct the big man to lie down, a lot. If team trainers tied a 7-foot big man to the ground and only allowed him to get up for big games, he could theoretically shave about seven nanoseconds off his age each year (one nanosecond for each foot closer to the Earth). If the big man of interest is on a max contract worth about $40 million per year, this one weird trick could be worth about 9 nanodollars per year (40 million dollars times 7 nanoseconds divided by 31,536,000 seconds, or the number of seconds in one year). Doctors hate this because it doesn't really do shit.

My next proposal would be to have the big man spend his offseasons in a space hotel mere kilometers from a small black hole. According to analytics, if we place the big man about 3 kilometers from a small black hole of one solar mass, we can slow his aging down to just 1% of the normal rate relative to a normal person on Earth. If he spends six months of the year in this space hotel, over the course of the year he'll only age by about six months and two days. Thus, his career will last about twice as long. This is a revolution in sports medicine. However, physical proximity to even a small black hole presents practical difficulties. We must find alternative methods.

My last proposal would be to strap the big man into a small Ferris wheel and spin it fast. As with objects in a strong gravitational field, objects that are accelerating very quickly create the phenomenon of artificial gravity and therefore also experience gravitational time dilation due to the equivalence principle. If we take a Ferris wheel with a diameter of 10 meters and spin it at about 5.1 million revolutions per second, the big man will age only about 1% as fast as a normal person sitting on the surface of the Earth (I did the math) due to centripetal acceleration. This will be an unpleasant experience, but I expect a team with the right culture could embrace it (hmu Pat Riley). With my methods, Udonis Haslem could still be in the league in the year 3000.

For reference, here is an artist's rendition of big man Chet Holmgren on a Ferris wheel. Many draft pundits had concerns about this big man's durability, and those concerns were only magnified when he broke his tibia and fibia (as reported by u/Giddey_Cent) after mere seconds of exposure to bigger man LeBron James. Slowing Chet's aging process to just 1% of the normal rate could ease these durability concerns. Therefore, Sam Presti should think long and hard about a Ferris wheel ride with the big man.

[Action Network] JOSH ALLEN TO GABE DAVIS 🔥

https://twitter.com/actionnetworkhq/status/1561042270186512386?s=21&t=G_2qlMXh6wpJCkNpYPtaNw

Who is the better player in the playoffs, Kawhi Leonard or Giannis Antetokounmpo?

Over their last 4 playoff runs (60 games for Kawhi, 57 for Giannis), these are their numbers

Kawhi: 29.4ppg/8.6rpg/4.5apg/1.9spg/0.7bpg/2.6tov on 63.3% TS

Giannis: 28.7ppg/13.2rpg/5.5apg/0.9spg/1.4bpg/3.6tov on 58.2% TS

Kawhi scores a little more, does it significantly more efficiently. Giannis is the better and more impactful defender. Their playmaking is a wash.

Who is the superior playoff player? Obviously assume Kawhi is relatively healthy

[Oram] Asking Blazers broadcasters to call road games from home will absolutely gut the fan viewing experience. Jody Allen’s team needs to scrap this plan — now.

Asking Blazers broadcasters to call road games from home will absolutely gut the fan viewing experience. Jody Allen’s team needs to scrap this plan — now.

Context from Bill Oram’s article:

The cost-cutting Portland Trail Blazers don’t think you’ll notice that their broadcasters won’t be on the road next season. It’s a decision, first brought to light by Dwight Jaynes and Chad Doing on their afternoon drive-time show on KPOJ-AM, that the team says is not final.

More fuel for the “Jody Allen should sell the team to Phil Knight” train.

People often say that "voter fatigue" kept LeBron from winning more than 4 MVPs and that he deserves much more. But after he won his 4th in 2013, what year did he actually get robbed in? If anything, his strongest case in a year he didn't win would be all the way back when he had 0 MVPs in 2006.

Let's go year by year since 2013:

2014: LeBron: 27/7/6, 64.9% TS, 54-28 record(2 seed)

Winner: Kevin Durant: 32/7/6, 63.5% TS, 59-23 record(2 seed)

This one wasn't very controversial at the time. The 1% TS gap hardly makes up for 5 PPG or 5 more wins(with Westbrook hurt half the season.) MVP 1st place voting was Durant 119, LeBron 6.

2015: LeBron: 25/6/7, 57.7% TS, 53-29 record(1 seed)

Winner: Stephen Curry: 24/4/8, 63.8% TS, 65-17 record(1 seed)

Again, this isn't very controversial. LeBron's efficiency this season was a career worst thanks to a back injury. In fact, even 2nd place MVP finisher James Harden put up equal or better stats with more wins this season.

2016: LeBron: 25/7/7, 58.8% TS, 57-25 record(1 seed)

Winner: Stephen Curry: 30/5/6, 66.9% TS, 73-9 record(1 seed)

I don't think much needs to be said here.

2017: LeBron: 26/9/9, 61.9% TS, 51-31 record(2 seed)

Winner: Russell Westbrook: 32/11/10, 55.4% TS, 45-37 record(6 seed)

This is certainly one of the more controversial MVPs in recent memory, and LeBron's stats actually stack up pretty well with the three main candidates of Westbrook/Harden/Kawhi. However, similar to Giannis this season, LeBron got punished for being in between Westbrook and Harden in wins while playing in a far weaker conference with much better teammates. He got a total of 1 first place vote this season

2018: LeBron: 28/9/9, 62.1% TS, 50-32 record(4 seed)

Winner: James Harden: 30/5/9, 61.9% TS, 65-17 record(1 seed)

Almost identical statlines this year between LeBron and Harden, but one won 15 more games. Even though LeBron obviously had a far worse team, it would be completely against precedent to give it to anyone but Harden this season.

2019: Missed playoffs so no chance

2020: LeBron: 25/8/10, 57.7% TS, 52-19 record(1 seed)

Winner: Giannis: 30/14/6, 61.3% TS, 56-17 record(1 seed)

Somehow, this one was slightly controversial. I'm not exactly sure how. Giannis led in PPG, RPG, TS%, and team record, with LeBron's only edge being assists. In addition, Giannis had no teammate who was half as good as 2020 Anthony Davis. Maybe people conflate the playoffs with the regular season?

2021: Hurt so no chance

2022: Missed playoffs so no chance

[Tomasson] Longtime DC & ex-Denver coach Vic Fangio, 63, told me he has interest in returning to NFL after taking this year off. “We'll see where things stand & develop & what’s available to see if I’m a good match for somebody, but it’s definitely a possibility, probably as a coordinator."

"I mean, I never heard anybody say, ' I'm going to Cleveland on vacation.' What's so good about Cleveland?" - Joakim Noah [4/19/2010]

Joakim Noah takes shots at the city of Cleveland during the Bulls' playoff series against the Cavs in 2010.

By suspending Deshaun Watson fewer than 12 games, his contract will not toll an additional year, allowing him to receive his $46M salary next year, rather than the $1M he would've earned in 2023 with a longer suspension

While many have speculated that the Browns/Texans matchup is the primary reason for 11 games, the contact situation is also likely a big driving factor.

Why did Tim Duncan never win a DPOY?

He’s widely seen as one of the greatest defenders ever, but as far as I’ve seen he’s never even finished top two in DPOY voting. Was this a result of competition for the award being strong (Ben Wallace and Dwight Howard later on)?

Andrew Wiggins (11,519 PTS) has more career points than Kawhi Leonard (11,085 PTS)

https://twitter.com/NBAMuse24/status/1558159801540124673?t=NJ1x0BYTgR4tgQKXyK4tHw&s=19

Kawhi is 4 years older than Wiggins but this stat isn't that surprising with context as Kawhi

• Played behind the Spurs dynasty early on • Entered the league as a pure defender and then grew into a two way player • Never played the full 82 games of a season

Things were quite the opposite for Wiggins as he

• Was always a starter • Entered the league as a scorer and put up "empty stats" on a bad team • Played multiple full seasons

I think the roles have been reversed for Leonard, Wiggins and their respective teams.

Kawhi realized his scoring potential and Andrew realized his defensive potential and strength on the boards.

NBA players that were absolutely awful to start their career and took a few years to get good?

As a Celtics fan, first one that pops into my head is Grant Williams. Absolutely horrible first season and even worse second season. Was shocked he didn’t get traded but good thing he didn’t because he was a big contributor for the Celtics finals run

[Graff] A large fight just broke out at Patriots-Panthers joint practices. Bigger than most training camp fights and ended up clearing both fields. Kristian Wilkerson, Kendrick Bourne and Panthers safety Kenny Robinson were kicked out.

What are your most unpopular NBA opinions?

These threads always have great discussions and it's been a while since the last one.

Don't say that the refs are bad or that players are flopping/not playing defense. These aren't unpopular.

1) Draft picks are overrated

2) The NBA should stop checking for PEDs

3) The Suns meltdown was overblown and they're going to come back stronger this year

4) There are a lot of Andrew Wiggins out there, good players who are being misused by bad organizations.

5) I'll take Michael Porter Jr. over a lot of players like Sabonis, Garland, or LaMelo

6) The All-Star game format should go back to Fan Voting

[Trask] Many criticize the NFLPA for agreeing to a discipline process which gives the NFL final say, but when bargaining, parties prioritize issues and as the vast majority of players are very good men, one can understand why a party wouldn't prioritize an issue that applies to so few.

“This is a situation where it’s either, look, man just come out here and play or don’t play because you got 4 years, we got you for a while so it’s not like you’re on an expiring contract and then you can just take off a year and we just give up a year.”

Who had the better 4 year Peak? KD(2012-2016) or Giannis(2018-2022)

I saw this debate on Twitter and it was pretty even. I think KD takes it by a hair because he was basically making WCF regularly in a stacked west including a finals vs Heatles which I think is slightly more impressive than Giannis 1 ring. As players Giannis is obviously the much better defender but KD had maybe a top 3 scoring peak ever.

The entire lottery of the 2013 NBA Draft combined for only 2 All Star appearances, both by Victor Oladipo. For reference, 2012’s combined for a whopping 19 all star appearances

The draft order was:


Pk	Tm	Player
1	CLE	Anthony Bennett
2	ORL	Victor Oladipo
3	WAS	Otto Porter Jr.
4	CHA	Cody Zeller
5	PHO	Alex Len
6	PHI	Nerlens Noel
7	SAC	Ben McLemore
8	DET	Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
9	UTA	Trey Burke
10	POR	CJ McCollum
11	PHI	Michael Carter-Williams
12	OKC	Steven Adams
13	BOS	Kelly Olynyk
14	MIN	Shabazz Muhammad

Here’s the amounts for every draft since 2010

2010: 17

2011: 16

2012: 19

2013: 2

2014: 9

2015: 8

2016: 7

2017: 7

2018: 5

2019: 3

2020: 1

2021: 0

As you could have probably guessed, the more recent the draft the less All Star selections. But even then, you have to go all the way to 2020 to find a draft that has had less selections than 2013. 2 selections in 9 years is just terrible.

Multiple front office executives that I spoke to said that one major thing they support is moving the beginning of free agency to before the NBA draft and that they welcome discussions on other solutions that would cut down on tampering or fix the current system.

Multiple players who spoke on condition of anonymity said that all of their own deals had been worked out and agreed to before the beginning of free agency and they don’t understand why the rules are even in place. Multiple staffers and executives from the league office said they are open to changes as well and would prefer a system that wasn’t so blatantly ignored.

[CBS] NFL to relax on roughing the passer calls

https://ift.tt/AyzGv09

[Helin] That said, even without Smart (or Robert Williams III, sources told NBC Sports he is not available), a Celtics offer with Jaylen Brown may be the best one the Nets will see.

There’s good reason for pessimism, Durant’s ultimatum to Nets owner Joe Tsai did not light a fire under trade talks. If anything, it made it far less likely a deal gets done in the short term. — why would Boston improve its offer now? It robbed the Nets of leverage. For example, Brooklyn was trying to get Boston to put Smart in the trade, but why would they even consider it now?

Despite Durant’s best efforts, things likely stay quiet on the trade front until it gets closer to training camp in September. The big question then becomes, are Tsai and GM Sean Marks willing to be uncomfortable — will they wait out a Durant offer they think is fair like Daryl Morey did with Ben Simmons last season, or will they cave and trade KD just to get something and move on? We will find out in a month or so.

[Stein] League sources tell me that Durant’s latest deal includes the most aggressive early payment schedule allowed by league rules; he’ll receive half of his $42,969,845 salary in Year 1 in two installments before the first week of training camp is complete

Most NBA players don’t start collecting their annual salaries until the season actually starts, but league sources tell me that Durant’s latest deal indeed includes the most aggressive early payment schedule allowed by league rules.

Translation: Durant’s contract calls for him to receive half of his $42,969,845 salary in Year 1 in two installments before the first week of training camp is complete. That computes to a total of $21,484,922.

The advance amount in these cases, as seen last season with Ben Simmons before Philadelphia traded Simmons to Brooklyn, is typically paid in two equal shares on July 1 and Oct. 1. In Durant's case, that means he was due a check of $10,742,461 on the day after informing Brooklyn that he wants to be dealt.

The remaining half of Durant's 2022-23 salary, once checks are cut July 1 and Oct. 1, would then be paid out on a standard in-season check cycle.
