So we’re, what, 48 hours away from “Giannis has warmed to the idea of being in Boston” as the trade is announced?

Thumb? Scale? Maybe?
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been focused on playing for the Miami Heat, per @WindhorstESPN “Talks have intensified over the last 7-10 days. He has focused on wanting to be a member of the Miami Heat.” (Via @GetUpESPN / h/t @HeatCulture13 )

If you ranked the top ten Curb moments, how many of them feature Bob Einstein. “I’m an orphan” is seriously one of those lines where I can’t believe Larry’s head didn’t explode from laughter.

I mean it would be utterly insane if Milwaukee let the draft pass. You make the trade before so you can make the pick. There’s no world where the Heat draft someone Milwaukee doesn’t like at 13.
If a Bucks decision surprisingly extends beyond the draft, a Heat offer would become diminished if Bucks don't like the player Miami drafts at 13. But a Celtics hypothetical three team offer with Portland (no pick this year) or Houston (no first rounder) would not be diminished.

Per sources, although a deal isn’t imminent , I’m told the @NJDevils are gauging market interest from clubs on G Markstrom . #HockeyX

Okay now it’d be funny if the Knicks won tonight
Ticketmaster is reportedly canceling and refunding Game 5 NBA Finals tickets purchased by fans who live outside a 150-mile radius of San Antonio — without notice 😳, per @nypost Some Knicks fans who already flew into town and booked hotels are reportedly having their tickets canceled at the last minute 😬

It’s so over for the league. The Panthers have acquired Eric Bieniemy.
Florida has acquired D Emil Pieniniemi from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for the rights to F Oliver Okuliar.

They want the Knicks holding the trophy in the Garden with all the celebrities who spend much of the year courtside at Lakers games. And Adam Silver is gonna get it.
Scott Foster is the crew chief for tonight’s Game 5

Bonnaroo has held on longer than most but the last few years have shown why Live Nation needs to be cremated.

Well that’s ominous.
The Miami Heat are hoping Giannis puts his thumb on the scale and forces his way to Miami, per @HPbasketball “One of the things that’s been communicated to me, is the Heat are really wishing Giannis would go put his thumb on the scale. From every indication is Giannis just isn’t going to do that. He’s going to take the same line of approach which is ‘I want to win championships, it doesn’t seem like the Bucks have it. It’s probably in the best interests we go our separate ways’ — That’s different from ‘I will only resign in Miami. Trade me there, no where else.’ That’s what the Heat need I think in order to get this deal done. I said they would use the Miami deal to set a bar, and then go elsewhere. We’re hearing more 3/4 team deals be discussed.” (Via youtu.be/phNQHmNE7Pk?is=uDfK…)

Haotong is great because he shoots 64, walks into the press room and says something like “I’m fighting battles you couldn’t possibly fathom” and walks out.
Haotong Li on how he's dealing with negative thoughts on the golf course: "Once that bad Haotong came in, you just tell him to go away." "I literally just tell that guy fuck off."

It’d be time to walk away for good. The league doesn’t want us anymore.

Which again is why you beef up your tradeable assets at every opportunity.
With The Athletic reporting that Bucks are waiting to see if they can get a better offer than Miami's before deciding (and nobody is disputing this), we come back to this reality: While the Heat's offer is solid, in theory, if you're a 10th seed in a conference and you don't offer your best player in a trade for an all-time NBA great, you can't expect the other team to say, 'Yeah, let's take this quickly. We're good.' But Heat can't offer Bam because Giannis then might not re-sign. Which is why, as I said, Heat needs luck and must hope that teams positioned to make better offers (such as Boston and arguably Orlando, etc.) do not do so.

At this point it feels like the Heat’s offer will be beaten by a couple of teams. So I don’t really know what we’re doing here.
The Bucks like what the Timberwolves could offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but they would require Jaden McDaniels in it, per @sam_amick (nytimes.com/athletic/7353314…). Minnesota would need to build a package around McDaniels, Naz Reid, Terrence Shannon Jr. and two first-round picks.

I shouldn’t say I don’t know what we’re doing here because of course you continue to try, but it feels again as if their insistence to stand idle at the expense of bolstering their war chest is going to cause them to come up short once again.
