Liberty not using their timeout for the reset is insanity. Angel Reese absolutely nails tonight. Dream vs Valkyries would be a great Finals.

What do we think the Kawhi Leonard video tribute is going to be like when he returns to LA?
The death penalty of pro sports
BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.
Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.
The Jaylen return to Boston I figured wouldn’t be the opening week or Christmas. Those games don’t need that extra juice. I could see them making us wait until first NBC Sunday night game or MLK Day.
I bet this GM team sucks
An anonymous NBA GM on the Jaylen Brown trade
“This is a classic case of the credit goes to the guy who scores but they're not driving team success. There's guys like this all over the league, the difference is he's not at $40M... he's at $60M. It's really hard to tie up that much money in your salary cap for one player unless they're truly generational, and he's not even close to that. Also, the league is getting smarter now. And here's the thing: the dumb teams are the cheap teams.”

We've seen a pretty strong reduction over the years in the dog whistle bullshit that Jaylen Brown is getting and has gotten since he was a prospect. Brown is smarter than most people in and out of the league. That should be a good thing but it's not treated that way in his case.
I don't understand what it is about Brown that sparks this reaction when we genuinely have seen more progressive attitudes prevail in player evaluation in tandem with more and better diversity over the last 25 years.
