Everyone but me has been sick so I’ve had to step up.
Also had to deal with difficult interrupted sleep over the past few day.
So all in all, pretty glad to be back on the track even for a short-er run, especially before the upcoming work trip tomorrow.
There was definitely room for a Win, but a few calls went against us, a lot of missed free throws, and some strong opposition (didn’t work out so well for us…)[https://m.acmomento.com/mo/o6LU8oLDsYPL6GUxrXZlnHty4h63/basketball/fdd256f6-5b83-4ca1-91aa-46e9abb5d9d5]
Having no picks is particularly advantageous for us. We owe one to the Knicks, but we’re confident we’ll maintain our current status by continuing to perform poorly, especially considering the exceptional talent in this upcoming draft class.
We should aim to become competitive within the next two years. And having Trae as a primary guard will free space for Alex Sarr on pick & rolls, and the other shooters/forwards on the team too :)
Our salary cap is $80 million, so even with Trae Young’s $49 million contract, we still have substantial room to secure bad contracts or free agents this summer.
Additionally, we haven’t had a superstar on our roster since Russell Westbrook’s tenure from 2020 to 2021, and John Wall before that.
The Wizards don’t have any big extensions looming, so even if they gave Young a two- or three-year deal this summer, they’ll be in great shape financially. This might be the perfect rental with a chance at long-term success. And if it doesn’t work out, they can cut the bait and maintain business as usual in their development process.

Great news to make it more accessible to everyone, globally!
About last night: #OuiPlay #WNCAA College Basketball opening night, in Paris!
Baylor vs Duke
Cal. Berkeley vs Vanderbilt
Great to see the future of Women’s Basketball in my hometown, for a special double-header! Great performances from Taliah Scott (Baylor #0) and Mikayla Blakes (Vanderbilt #1)
Stopped today’s run at 5k:
between the recovery from leg injury + being under the weather this past weekend, having just eaten lunch, and the windy weather, I’d rather hit my weekly goal by pushing later this week than pushing too hard today.
Solid Euroleague Win at a time when we’re having 5 games in 10 days.
We were clearly better than Baskonia and at the end Nadir caught fire! But defense needs to improve, and a few other things too… long season! #ParisBasketball #Euroleague
Incredibly excited to finally get to my #ParisBasketball home opener tomorrow! Hype’s been building up, the team is playing faster than ever, and while this promises to be a challenging season, our roster is overall more balanced than the past 2 seasons. #Euroleague and #BetclicElite, here we come!
