Winning, it seems in James’ estimation, is the true fountain of youth. “I’m a winner and I want to win,” James said. “And I want to win and give myself a chance to win and still compete for championships.

Mavericks insider Tim McMahon brought up the possibility of Luka teaming up with an All-Star. However, the scenario he mentioned doesn’t involve the other star joining the Mavs. Rather, the rumored star could recruit Doncic to his own team.

And to rub salt on the Timberwolves’ wounds, Zion Williamson stole a lazy pass from D’Angelo Russell on the ensuing possession, leading to a go-ahead transition dunk for the 6’6 forward.

On a recent episode of the Late Night Lake Show podcast, Jovan Buha of The Athletic offered a peek behind the curtain of what free agency could entail for Reaves and the Lakers. “From what I’ve heard on that, it’s going to be more than Caruso money, that’s for sure. It’s going to be double digits.” For reference, the deal that Caruso signed with the Bulls was a 4-year, $36,980,000 contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $9.25 million per year. The “double digits” part would likely mean it’s going to be at least $10 million dollars. Читать дальше...
