He's injured all the time and cannot move laterally like he did 5 years ago.

Embid can still score if he's healthy ( see the Boston playoff series) but he a traffic cone at this point defensively and Lebron isn't much better at his age either.

Connor has had the worst season ever this year but he's really young and is good a toad courses.

I think I'd take him though.

ATL trying to win games 80-76 like in the mid 00s

Jr was a legitimate title contender from 02-05. Best shot was 04 but two guys ( Gordon Busch) were just a little better by the end of year. Very good at Atlanta, Bristol, and Richmond in addition to the plates.

Teresa really screwed up any chance of him winning with DEI, and he was 3rd behind Gordon and Johnson at HMS.

I've watched the the 1995 Winston 2000 Winston 2000 Diehard, 1999 Daytona 500 and 98 Pepsi 400 in the last 3 days.

The old races are cool and some of the satellite ones are even commercial free. Young Gordon was more a terror at these tracks than I remembered. That move in 1999 was insane.

Probably will go back to the Middle 2000s to see how Gordon and Jr dominated.

Wemby gets paid. 5 years $251 million.

He opted for the 25% max instead of the 30% supermax which saves the Spurs $50 mil over the contract ( $10 mill per year)


Great deal for both sides.

Walmart and White Claw have a much higher chance for Sec sponsorship. :lol:

"SEC conference sports brought to you by Ford!"

Former Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland was posthumously diagnosed with Stage 1 chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). There are four stages with Stage 4 showing the most damage.

Kneeland died by suicide in November 2025 at the age of 24.

Boston University's CTE Center made the diagnosis after Kneeland's family donated his brain for research.

Kneeland's family, including his girlfriend Catalina Mancera, put out a statement:

"While this diagnosis does not change the tragedy of his passing, it provides important context about some of the struggles he may have been facing. We share this information to help people understand what NFL and other high contact sport athletes might be struggling with. Raising awareness is important to us. We continue to remember Marshawn with compassion for the person he was, rather than defining him by the final moments of his life. One Love."

The BU CTE Center made a point of saying that suicide is "complex and multifactorial" and "a post-mortem CTE diagnosis should not be considered the cause of a suicide."

According to records obtained by ESPN, there had been concerns about Kneeland's mental health as far back as 2020 when he was at Western Michigan. In one incident, he was required to turn in his firearm to police until he was cleared by a counselor.

In another, a friend called authorities with concern over Kneeland's well-being. He was found on railroad tracks, saying he hoped a train would run him over. He was hospitalized.

Texas police found Kneeland's body in the early morning of Nov. 6, 2025 after he had evaded officers during a traffic pursuit, crashed his car and fled on foot. According to a report released Friday by the Texas Department of Public Safety, a trooper saw Kneeland's car speeding down the highway, sometimes traveling more than 145 miles per hour and making "several unsafe lane changes."

The trooper ultimately lost sight of Kneeland's car. While officers searched for Kneeland,While officers searched for Kneeland, they said they received information that he had expressed "suicidal ideations."

Rui goes off the board 2 years 28 mil to Clippers

That's pretty much it until Duran gets done for notable Free agents unless there's another trade. Denver still has to make a move too for salary probably too. Lebron also still has a decision to make too.

Now for 2023 draft class rookie extensions this week. Wemby obviously is chief among those at $300 mil out the Thompson twins could get interesting. Are they max players?

Much younger than Golden State at least.

I really don't see LeBron staying in the West if he truly "wants to win a title".
