[NY Post] Blazers owner Jody Allen has refused to talk to Damian Lillard, who reportedly has had issues with the way the team is being run, the team source claimed. ?Damian wanted to sit down and she didn?t return his call. Then he tried to email her. Eventually she just never responded??

Bobby Marks: Here is the Lillard contract breakdown: Current contract 22-23: $42.5M 23-24: $45.6M 24-25: $48.8M Extension* 25-26: $58.5M 26-27: $63.3M (P) The extension numbers could be adjusted based on the salary cap in 2025-26. It cannot exceed 35% of the cap for that season. ? via Twitter BobbyMarks42
Absolutely ridiculous how much they get paid to play a game. Can you imagine making $63 million in one year?

Dame says he wants to win, and proceeds to sign a huge contract so the team can?t sign anyone else.

I think Beal is just as nuts. Loyalty costs you a quarter billion when he hasn't been healthy for basically three seasons.

Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: NBA?s Board of Governors is expected on Tuesday to approve the Play-In Tournament as a regular part of future league seasons. The Play-In had been voted on a year-to-year basis in past two seasons, but support exists to turn it into annual element of NBA structure. ? via Twitter wojespn

JD Shaw: Richard Jefferson will officiate the second quarter of tonight?s Knicks-Blazers summer league game after attending daily NBA Summer League Officiating Meetings in Las Vegas, NBA says.
Richard Jefferson: Why do this? 1. Tremendous amount of knowledge about our game that I?ve learned sitting in classes with the best refs in the world 2.I do this because not many people would dare put themselves in this position. The more info I have the more informed I am as a broadcaster ? via Twitter
This is kind of cool to see. Curious to see how he calls a game. Good for him for doing this as a way to become a better broadcaster.

Mavs did the Jazz so dirty that they?re going to trade away both their stars and they will host the all star game with zero players present

Full trade: Utah is trading Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland for Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton, three unprotected first-round picks and two pick swaps, sources tell ESPN.

Who if anyone should make the HOF from this list?
I think only Howard has a possible case, and Derozan only if he's the star player on a championship team moving forward.
1. Dwight Howard
2. Rajon Rondo
3. Blake Griffin
4. Lamarcus Aldridge
5. Demar Derozan
6. Andre Iguodala
7. Al Horford

Since it?s the ?basketball HOF? and not the ?NBA HOF? I think Howard and Iggy make it for sure. Horford might since he won 2x NCAA Championships.

Just curious but why do you think Dwight if its the Basketball HOF? He didn't play collegiately...he may be one though he had a nice run of being one of the best 5's in the game.

NBA Champion, 3x Defensive Player Of The Year, 8x All-NBA Team, 8x NBA All-Star.
Points, 14,600 Rebounds, 1,671 Assists, 1,079 Steals, 2,226 Blocks
I?d say that?s a pretty good resume?

I can?t believe the Jazz don?t take that offer. I know they got more picks for Rudy, but hard to say no to 5 more picks. They aren?t going anywhere with or without Mitchell. Only a matter of time before he wants out.

Wow. Well that opens the gates. Kyrie is the last domino to fall before we see all the little trades happen, but he may stay put.

To further complicate the build around Luka, the NBA is expected to announce expansion teams in Seattle and Las Vegas with expansion drafts happening prior to their first seasons. The move is set to be announced in a few weeks when NBA teams play exhibition games in both cities.

How many players are teams expected to be able to protect? 9?

Just looked it up it?s 8. Luka, DFS, Bullock, Din, Green, Hardy, Maxi, Wood for me as it stands today. Toughest call is THJ vs. Hardy as Timmy?s contract as a a useable player is great for trade matching. Frank and Dorsey the wildcards.

Jonathan Tjarks just died
I loved him on the Ringer. He was a really honest, heartfelt, and deep commentator and always gave the Mavs a fair shot.

Reggie speaking out in support of Ime Udoka
I love that he's supporting another coach, but...
1) He broke major workplace policies and the punishment was clearly outline in his hiring paperwork. Right or wrong, he knew he was breaking workplace policy.
2) By breaking the policy, he put the Celtics at huge financial risk.
3) His relationship was extra-marital. He was literally cheating on his wife. I know marriages can go sour and unfulfilling, but as a man you have to end one relationship before starting another. Coaches are moral and strategic leaders and it shows a lack of ability to lead as a moral leader.
I want to see African Americans treated well, but this isn't an issue of racism, unless we can point to another person doing the same thing with a different result. This was a lack of leadership.

I think that's exactly why we got rid of KP. Mofo could hit near half court contested shots but couldn't make an open three to save his life. A total no-no on a Luka led team.
