The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived Killian Hayes, league sources told @hoopshypeofficial.bsky.social. Hayes is expected to join Cleveland’s G League affiliate as he looks for another NBA opportunity. Hayes averaged 9.0 points and 5.2 assists in 27 minutes during six games for the Nets last season.

The Pelicans being so heavily reliant on Kevon Looney is the real problem here, but alas

Buckle up - here we go again!!

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

My only critique is not enough corner 3s generated, but that's somewhat to be expected given the Pelicans' lack of a true floor general style PG

This first half shot chart doesn't look like any Pelicans team I recognize. Had to make sure it wasn't misclick!

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Bari Weiss, a right winger with a history of anti-Muslim hate and the founder of billionaire funded "Free Press", now leads billionaire owned CBS, and hires Free Press to make up a story about the potentially first Muslim mayor of NYC.

Definitely no conflict or corporate corruption here. Nope. None

ESPN's fantasy basketball autodraft settings are just insanely bad. One guy autodrafted tonight and ended up with Bojan Bogdanovic and Derrick Rose 😭😭😭

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

I'm pretty excited to finally have a good reason to cut bait from LaMelo (had him for like $7 after his rookie year)

Also our keeper inflation is n*2 so resetting the clock will be nice!

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 4d

This is where I'm leaning based on the research I've done as well

Mason Ginsberg @masonginsberg.bsky.social · 4d

Just one. I think J-Dub is the smart and safe choice here

FBB draft tomorrow. H2H 9-category, 12 teams, $200 auction budget. My keeper options:

LaMelo: $20
J-Dub: $21
Franz: $22
Josh Hart: $9
Coby White: $11

I have no idea what to do

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)
