Isaiah Hartenstein notes that this Thunder roster once represented an underdog story with Lu Dort being undrafted, Hartenstein spending time in the G League, Shai being traded but says it's a little different now, I guess.What does he mean?I mean it'snext question?

He was there. Kenny used Thomas Bryant as the 10th guy on the second night of a back to back, against a bigger-bodied team, instead of Larry.

@szeremdf: @ChrisFedor What happened to Larry Nance Jr tonight? I didn't see him on the bench and he wasn't on the inactive report either

RT: Rich Paul reveals he had Darius Garland lined up for a trade to the Spurs prior to the Fox trade, and that Fox had no problem with being the #2 behind Wemby:"I remember a trade getting ready to take place and De'Aaron and I were talking about it, and we were talking about different options where he could go etc, and obviously I had the Spurs kinda teed up..At first it wasn't De'Aaron, it was another guard that I represent that I was envisioning going there, because De'Aaron wasn't wanting to be traded yet..It was Darius Garland. He was flustered, he was frustrated and he wanted to get out.. and the Spurs before they got the 2nd pick, they needed a point guard. And I thought next to Wemby, with shooting and all that. And then things changed and he was fine.And then so now Mike Brown got fired.. and so in De'Aaron's case when he finally got to the point to where you know what it's probably time', and we're having a conversation, one of the things we talked about was: OK if you get to the Spurs, are you OK being number 2?And (Fox) didn't even flinch. 'Absolutely, absolutely.'"#GoSpursGo #PorVida

When the Cavaliers tell you how much better they are with James Harden, it means they believe they couldn't win with Darius Garland. What about the rest of the original core four? And the coach? We're about to find out, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/73080

Spot on. Every word.

@JacksonLloyd: You are seeing proof of concept for the tradeJames Harden is able to absorb All-NBA caliber defenders, can make plays in isolation, and has helped a supercharge the bigs Having a player who does that and can credibly guard 2-4 (He guards, he really does) is hugeSpent time tonight on Paul Reed even; you can't do that with a smaller guard Darius Garland will be an all-star caliber player for years to come but Harden is an All-NBA guy still & such a unique fit with this core*They also did it to have more optionality in the event that they lost earlier than expected, they are getting out in front of the small guard market (See: Trae Young)

RT: Wow. Matthew Dellavedova was named NBL Finals MVP despite his Melbourne United Club losing the title to the Illawarra Hawks. However, Dellavedova said Hawks guard Hawks guard Will “Davo” Hickey was more deserving of the award. Delly then walked off stage with his MVP trophy and handed it to Hickey, who had 21/10/8 in the fifth and deciding game. Sports.

Ty Jerome is the new Matthew Dellavedova insofar that he's 6-5 and the majority of Cleveland would guess 6-0, tops.

Didn't have Matthew Dellavedova getting run into by Sergio Llull in 2024 on my bingo card.

Former NBA point guard Yogi Ferrell has reportedly agreed to a deal with Panathinaikos Athens.

The 28-year-old guard was unlikely to find more than a training-camp invite in the NBA this season, but he should find a robust role in Greece for the six-time EuroLeague champions.

The Clippers have waived guard Yogi Ferrell, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

At best, Yogi was the third-string point guard on the Clippers, so this won’t impact the team a whole lot. Reggie Jackson and Eric Bledsoe will be the main men running the point for L.A.

The Clippers have signed Yogi Ferrell for the remainder of the season. 

Ferrell's contract includes the 2021-22 season, but that portion of the deal is not guaranteed. The only way Ferrell gets onto the court at this point is if the Clippers are hit extremely hard by injuries in the backcourt. 

DALLAS – There’s a business of basketball that Isaac Okoro has become very accustomed to.In his previous few seasons in Cleveland, the forward was seemingly a trade rumor several times a calendar year. February, his name was typically floating around at the deadline, and then of course during the summer months.That was until rumor became reality for him last July, and the Bulls acquired him in the Lonzo Ball trade with the Cavaliers.So with the regular season officially ending on Sunday for

Okoro is now listed as out. Patrick Williams getting a start?

@KCJHoop: Bulls list Isaac Okoro questionable vs. Wizards after he left Tuesday's game with quad contusion. Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis remain listed as out.
