Ryan Lopez+FollowIs Will Richard the New GP2 for Dub Nation?Dub Nation, what do you think—has Will Richard’s breakout summer league run signaled the end of the road for The Mitten? With Richard’s two-way hustle and a team-friendly rookie deal, the front office might have to choose between youth and the beloved vet.

Nicole Obrien+FollowCould Austin Reaves Be Broadway Bound?Big news brewing, Knicks fans! With the Lakers going all-in on Luka, Austin Reaves—aka Hillbilly Kobe—might be the odd man out in LA. Rumor has it the Knicks are eyeing him as the perfect secondary scorer to slot in with Brunson, OG, and Bridges.

Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Basketball #Knicks31Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowScheierman’s Summer League Slump: Should We Worry?Celtics fans, what’s your take on Baylor Scheierman’s rough shooting stretch in Vegas? The former first-rounder was supposed to be a sniper, but he’s ice-cold from deep so far. Sure, he’s stepping up on defense and playmaking, but with Coach Mazzulla’s ‘live by the three’ system, can the C’s afford a shooting guard who’s lost his touch? Is this just a summer league blip, or should we be concerned about his spot in the rotation? #Sports #Basketball #CelticsNation01Share

Not only is Lillard out of the East, but the Celtics—our biggest rivals—missed out on pairing him with Tatum (who’s also sidelined).

Denver’s front office is stacking talent and ready to win now, while L.A. is still playing the long game with King James and Luka. If the Lakers don’t deliver, could we see Doncic join the Joker in Mile High? This rivalry just got way more interesting. #Sports #Basketball #Lakers31Share
