The KAT trade is complete. For @spotrac, I broke it down from all sides: -Getting creative to get an "impossible" deal done -Knicks in the short- and long-term -Wolves resetting on the fly -Hornets paid to help -Duane Washington's strange saga Read more: spotrac.com/news/_/id/2469/k…

Final version.
NBA playoff series quality as measured by win probability movement (i.e. excitement) and improbable comebacks. This year’s Knicks-Sixers series, 2014’s Portland-Houston series, and 2009’s Bulls-Celtics series each occupying a lonely outpost on the Pareto frontier.

Japan has qualified for Olympic basketball in 2024, winning the Asia berth! South Sudan (Africa) did so earlier today. Australia (Oceania) and France (host) are in, too. 2 Europe and 2 Americas teams still TBD, plus 4 Olympic Qualifying Tournament winners next year.

The NBA salary cap used to be arcane knowledge meant only for assistant GMs and very few others. Now, it's a booming business — both within the league and outside of it. I wrote about Larry Coon, the godfather of this entire realm: theathletic.com/4816071/2023…

📽 Before Steph Curry, Reggie Miller was warping defenses with his movement and shooting. But there was more to Reggie’s innovative game that made him one of the toughest covers in NBA history. youtu.be/jxO9KsZPelE

NBA stat of the day #293: A wild one today: We have data for charge and non-charge offensive fouls drawn since 2011 The record for non-charge offensive fouls drawn was JJ Barea with 53 (2011) Lu Dort broke the record in '23... with 87(!!). That's more than 4 teams 🤯

The conversation today was about how the Nuggets aren’t interesting. Which is bullshit of course. So I put pen to paper. From someone who has covered the Jokic-Murray-Malone eta start to finish here are 25 interesting things about the Nuggets. actionnetwork.com/nba/denver…

📽️Bubble Murray? Playoff Murray? Whatever you call him, Jamal Murray has played at an absurdly high level in his last 6 playoff series. Inside his elite shot-making, 2-man game, and white hot explosions. youtube.com/watch?v=DR58ABt_…

So @ElGee35 gave Butler the treatment, & the thing that jumps out when watching 10 straight minutes of him is how unhurried he is. All the frantic PLAYOFFS energy around him & he’s still just jump stopping, pivoting & pump faking his way into advantages: youtu.be/vw_OUHDvVkM

It's a turf war in this Lakers-Warriors series. Anthony Davis wants to live in the paint on D and the Warriors need to pull him away from the hoop as much as possible. In Game 3, AD got his way, but the Warriors started to spread him out a bit in Games 4 and 5.

The Bucks, Cavs and Grizzlies aren't in *quite* as bad a situation as the overall 95% series win probability for teams up 3-1. Most teams up 3-1 have home court. They've won 98% of the time since 1984* (119-2). When the team without home court is up 3-1, that drops to 89% (44-5).

When Nikola Jokic is away from the ball and coming off a screen, he becomes one of most unique and effective players in NBA history. Here's a feature about these actions, which unlock his skill-set and make Denver's offense damn near impossible to stop: theringer.com/nba/2023/4/19/…
