The Los Angeles Lakers application to exclude Luol Deng’s salary from team salary books has been denied by the NBA, sources tell
@TheAthleticNBA

. Deng is owed salary through 2022.
My criteria for a new Pistons coach:
1. Knows how to maximise Drummond and Griffin pairing
2. Can use Stanley Johnson
3. Isn't Jason Kidd or Mark Jackson
4. Plays Luke Kennard
5. Isn't Jason Kidd or Mark Jackson
6. Likes memes
7. IS NOT JASON KIDD OR MARK JACKSON
Tyrone May's grand final stats:
2 runs for 11 metres
6 tackles
They could have named an empty chair at
#14
and got the exact same results.
I wish they did.
You could almost do a Top 5 of Sean Lock and Miles Jupp together:
- Miles "family heirloom" being a portrait of Sean
- The whelks incident
- "He brought up Hitler"
- "I won't spit on you when we're having sex tonight"
They were an elite duo
Cade Cunningham was a +10, Jaden Ivey was a +6 and Jalen Duren was a -3 in a game the Pistons lost by 14 (and were losing by 20+ for a majority of the game).
They all played 32 mins or less.
Fire Monty Williams
Yes I was counting.
Cade Cunningham did not touch the ball (outside of inbounding) on the last six possessions for the Pistons.
That is an act of war from whoever the hell is in charge of that shit.
Manly players refusing to play because their jersey this week promotes inclusivity and pride.
Wait until they find out what the Bible says about fades and tattoos.
Paul Gallen bumbling on about "it's 2022, who doesn't accept this now, why did we need to advertise it with the rainbow."
Hmm, not sure who doesn't accept it Paul, let's review the footage from the day's play.
Since everyone’s doing it:
NBA player I dislike: Mitchell
Overrated NBA Player: Mitchell
Underrated NBA Player: Kennard
NBA player that I like: Kennard
NBA player that I secretly like: Mitchell
Favorite Player of all time: Kennard
GOAT: Kennard
Bear with me here.
Benji Marshall has had the same impact on NRL that Steph had on the NBA.
I don't mean success, I mean legacy.
Both athletes changed their sports and inspired the next gen.
Steph made kids shoot from everywhere, Benji made kids want to dance on the field.
Good evening NRL Twitter. It's been a while, but I felt compelled to put together some words around Caitlin Moran, the social media police and "cancel culture."
Feel free to give it a read.

Cancel the rest of the Olympics now, nothing topping that Jess Fox moment.
Unless, of course, the Boomers beat the USA in the gold medal basketball game. The USA Twitter meltdown would give me enough energy to not sleep for a week.
A reminder that the only way the shit like P**l K**t stops is if you kill their platform.
Support independent media content creators. Read and share blogs and articles you like, listen to podcasts, support patreons if they have them.
I promise you it's better than this shit.
Ange: Has won league titles in three countries, and a major trophy for his nation as national team coach.
Reporter: Fuck mate you dream of lifting the Carabao Cup though aye?
Nitpicking but I hate when Ennis just said Schuster is destined to play rep footy.
Playing international footy for Samoa is rep footy, stop minimising everything that isn't Origin or playing for the Kangaroos.
It’s the worst shoey and stone cold you’ve seen, but it’s unfiltered.
This club means so much to me, I can’t express how much this premiership win means.
#PantherPride
Holy shit there are some absolutely corking halves pairings this week.
Salmon-Cogger
Schuster-Arthur
Matterson-Asi
To'a-Wakeham
Moylan-Hynes
Wild scenes.
Hidden among the blatant disregard for the actual protocols, George Hill actually makes a reasonable point.
At what point does the NBA go "hey you know what, the fact that teams can barely put out 8 guys in uniform because of health and safety protocols means we might stop."
George Hill on the new NBA COVID protocols:
" I'm a grown man, so I'm going to do what I want to do. If I want to go see my family I am going to go see my family. They can't tell me what I'm going to do. If it's that serious maybe we shouldn't be playing."
My goodness as if people are calling DJ Vasiljevic classless for his energy at the end of Game 2.
Let me tell you, fans in the courtside seats hurl shit at players all game. But when players give it back? No no no stay in your box and dance for me boy.
Spare me

I had some thoughts about the latest round of NRL bingo. Sorry, I mean the latest edition of "PVL speaks through the media."
Please give it a read and share if that's your thing.

My dad re: Daine Laurie getting a Dally M vote.
“That’s the advantage of being in a shit team. You look good. How else do you think Luke Brooks won Halfback of the Year?”
Rabbitohs are thrilled to reveal the 2024 ANZAC Round jersey whilst aboard the USS Canberra, during our visit to the USA. We are proud of our ongoing partnership with the Royal Australian Navy, signified by this special jersey inspired by their Ceremonial Uniform
@Australian_Navy
My Italian heritage means a lot to me and is something I'm incredibly proud of, so naturally the discourse around Brian To'o's decision to play for Samoa has thoroughly annoyed me.
Obviously, I had to put my thoughts into words.

@BeyondTFence
I might be in the minority in thinking there's a place for a loan system in the NRL but it should be a preseason thing, or a few rounds in at worst, for a whole season.
Not a way for contenders to hire mercenaries for a September charge from spoon contenders.
The new host of NRL 360 comes with a rich rugby league pedigree, which will please most. Not only in the areas viewers first imagine, though, writes PAUL KENT

Killian Hayes has 6 assists and 0 turnovers at half time.
Look what happens when he has freedom to handle the ball, run plays and make decisions.
I'm personally flabbergasted at this development.
The St George Illawarra Dragons had little choice but to hand Jack de Belin the captaincy, regardless of where your moral compass sits. ✍️
@MCarayannis
I'm going to miss Stanley Johnson. I know he didn't have the greatest time in Detroit, but there's something different about letting go of one of your own draft picks after nearly 4 years with the team.
Thanks for the memories Stanley, we'll always have your pink suit.
Williams on starting Livers: "That's who I am. I'm going to try and find something (to get us going). I decided yesterday. I didn't even think about it."
NRL head of football Graham Annesley has warned that players who repeatedly attract minor charges from the match review committee may be hit with a higher grading and increased penalty as a personal deterrent. Read more 👇
From 1986 to 2013, Karl Malone missed a Grand Total of 10 games in 18 seasons.
I repeat, 10 missed games in 18 fcking seasons!

- A young fullback who's played no first grade there
- Poor kicking game
- Terrible dummy half service
- Spate of injuries
- Pack bent back by ageing English forwards
- Matt Parish tax
Very worrying for Samoa. The players were bad but Parish is untenable surely.
