lol why did you take that sentence out of context? it’s at the end of an entire paragraph that explains the spacing jaylen enjoys, and why defenses aren’t as willing to squeeze the ball out of his hands
some quick thoughts on yesterday’s 3-team trade, which simultaneously made sense for everyone involved and is more evidence of how terrible the apron era has become: nbarankings.theringer.com/the-offer-sh...
during the 2022 nba finals, i had a sitdown interview with jaylen brown about the arc of his career, from getting booed on draft night, to enduring constant trade rumors, to becoming an All-Star on the biggest stage in the world. it’s almost surreal to go back, today, and read some what he said:
wrote about the lakers going all in for walker kessler (?) nbarankings.theringer.com/the-offer-sh...
it's an obvious point but i keep coming back to this: the miami heat reeeeeeally needs to add some three-point shooters who can move without the ball if they want to contend right away: www.theringer.com/2026/06/23/n...
if i was a team about to add the no. 1 pick, i probably would not go out of my way to create one of the worst contracts in the league 24 hours before the draft. that's just me! nbarankings.theringer.com/the-offer-sh...

a few very quick thoughts about boston and giannis: nbarankings.theringer.com/the-offer-sh...
in my preseason bold predictions article i wrote about kat's passing. it's always been underrated, but what we're seeing in these playoffs is remarkable: www.theringer.com/2025/10/21/n...
idk exactly what the rockets would've had to give up to get james harden, but i don't agree with this rationale at all
3 sixers converge on jaylen brown while 3 celtics are wide open for 3
no disrespect to the clown community, but a literal clown is more fit for this position than kash patel
