Caption from the main pic of that article. AI, I assume?:

Red Panda perfumes at halftime catching bowls on her head while riding a unicycle during a game between the Vanderbilt Commodores and Kentucky Wildcats in Nashville, Tennessee

It might be time for Red Panda to retire. That is a young woman's game. No shame in that. She is the GOAT. But I don't want this to end like the Wallendas.

Yeah, she's in her 50s now. It was always a treat to see the Red Panda at halftime.

Dolan strikes again. Clear downgrade, which was always the most likely outcome. What an idiot.
 
Just reading the tea leaves but it seems like the Hornets might be working on a trade for Melo. Any guesses on what they could get? He's certainly an asset, but I would be very happy if they could get a good return for him.

I like Brown, and clearly he can be effective in the right situations. But he just lost a very polite locker room in a very polite environment in Sacramento.

If you’re looking for someone to get you over the hump in NYC, he ain’t the guy. I just don’t see him fitting well with this roster in this city. He’ll be gone in 2-3 years tops.

But I will say I didn’t love the apparent options. Maybe Malone. I would’ve even liked Van Gundy over Brown. I didn’t like Kidd as a fit. There was no clear best option to me. A lot of B/C grade choices.

I can’t figure his worth. He’s a joy to watch when flowing, but his efficiency is yikes and he’s oft injured. Is he Herro level? Maxey? I don’t think so, as an asset, but Bane also just went for a king’s ransom. Lamelo is a curious player.

ETA:
I asked chatGPT a reasonable return for Melo and one option was straight up for Brandon Ingram. The reasoning was Melo’s fit with Zion. When I mentioned Brandon Ingram was traded to the Raptors, a while ago, it briefly spazzed and shot out a rebuttal about how I was mistaken, then erased the rebuttal, corrected itself, and blamed the mistake on an update.
