"It is funny to imagine Joel explaining Process lore to his therapist the same way I do with my therapist. Just being like, 'Well, Dario wasn't SUPPOSED to come over.'"

Joel Embiid sees you In what he's calling his "most important" offseason, Joel Embiid responds to his critics.

this is the greatest, most all-encompassing, most important piece on Joel Embiid ever written www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

The Hawks could not believe their good fortune. While the Pelicans would spend the next 24 hours facing enormous backlash for their reckless decision making, Hawks executives weren’t shy about sharing the details behind deal’s lopsided structure with rival teams. One Eastern executive with knowledge of how the conversation went from Atlanta’s perspective described a perplexing scene. When Senior Vice President Troy Weaver made the call to Atlanta’s Bryson Graham, Graham couldn’t believe what was actually being offered. Graham asked for clarification multiple times to confirm the unprotected pick was indeed part of the deal. It got to the point where Hawks General Manager, Onsi Saleh, called Joe Dumars directly to confirm for himself. The Hawks waited nervously for Dumars to confirm, hoping he would not realize what was going on and walk the trade back. But the Pelicans persisted and the Hawks got their steal.

Bruce Arthur: Everything Masai Ujiri did — his dreams and his success with the Raptors — was big. Maybe too big for the team’s owner MLSE CEO Keith Pelley said the decision to replace Ujiri was his, without explaining why. We can put the pieces together.

Goodbye to Masai Ujiri as president of the Raptors. The dreams stayed big: it was the owners who got small. www.thestar.com/sports/rapto...

this kennedy burke season is insane. it’s like if david roddy suddenly became the best 3-point shooter in the league

Masai Ujiri knew he was out as Raptors president in early June, led draft process anyway, MLSE CEO says Ujiri worked through the NBA Draft knowing that he wouldn't be back next season

weird day for the raptors! www.cbssports.com/nba/news/mas...

Bogoljub Markovic is an anagram of "good value pick for the middle of the second round". Probably.

Inside "Project Hansen," the Blazers' secret two-year mission to land Yang Hansen in one of the most shocking NBA draft picks in recent memory: www.rosegardenreport.com/inside-proje...

My draft night observation: Hansen Yang is so big that the hat the NBA gave him didn't fit and he walked around without the clasps connected in the back.

what the hellicans

Derik Queen might be a star, but the path Joe Dumars and the Pelicans took to get him was a reckless gamble New Orleans gave up a valuable 2026 pick in order to acquire the big man out of Maryland

derik queen has star upside, but the trade the pelicans made to get him has waaaay too much downside www.cbssports.com/nba/news/der...

i for one am excited for the danny wolf experience

great story on cedric coward, perhaps the grizzliest of grizzlies draft picks

Houston and Detroit knew when to go for it. These 3 NBA teams should be next to make the lottery leap Houston and Detroit made 30-game leaps look easy. Who's next?

The Thunder can't be duplicated, but opposing teams would be foolish not to emulate NBA champs What can the rest of the league learn from Oklahoma City's title run?
