CJ McCollum, Patrick Beverley and Kyle Kuzma are just a few of the players who shared their wit and wisdom amid a flurry of deals.
This year’s NBA trade deadline has been one of the wildest and wooliest in recent memory.
The Nets and Mavericks got things started in earnest when Brooklyn agreed to send Kyrie Irving to Dallas on Sunday. Things got much hotter when Russell Westbrook, D’Angelo Russell and Mike Conley Jr. reportedly were involved in a three-team swap Wednesday night.

Sanders took a trip down Cowboys memory lane ahead of Super Bowl LVII.
Deion Sanders played for five different teams during his his 14-year Hall of Fame career. But he’s perhaps best remembered as a Cowboy.
Sanders arrived in Dallas as a high-priced free agent in 1995, and immediately became the Cowboys’ newest star. He earned three first-team All-Pro selections and made four Pro Bowls in his five years with Dallas, helping the team win Super Bowl XXX over the Steelers. That remains the most recent championship for the franchise, which has yet to advance past the divisional round since.
The split between Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant in Brooklyn happened all of 17 seconds ago, yet ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst is already suggesting the duo could pair up again as early as next season.

Irving is set to be a free agent this summer, so if the Dallas Mavericks don’t drum up a deal for the point guard then there’s a chance he lands with the Suns.
The blockbuster trade brings a clean slate to both KD and Phoenix.
At a time like this, on the last day NBA teams are eligible to swap players throughout the league, there’s generally an intense fixation on every last detail of every single deal. Even fans on Twitter ask: What did the pick protections look like? How has Player X shot the ball from deep over the last month? What does this trade mean for the team’s long-term cap situation?
If those things matter to armchair fans, they obviously matter even more to the teams who are finalizing the high-stakes deals to begin with.
Lane Kiffin had the opportunity to leave Ole Miss for Auburn during the offseason but chose to stay in Oxford instead of moving to The Plains. The Tigers’ top choice turned down the job so they pivoted to Hugh Freeze, who once coached the Rebels before he resigned after “pattern of personal misconduct.”
This unique duo of SEC West coaches sets up a very interesting rivalry with a lot of underlying storylines. When the two teams get together on the gridiron, there is going to be bad blood.
That was evident right away.
Cincinnati Bengals receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins form one of the NFL’s best pass-catching duos. Arguably, they are the premier pair in the entire league.
Higgins recorded 900 yards in his first season in Cincinnati, but since Chase joined the team via the 2021 NFL Draft, the pair have each crested 1,000 yards in the past two seasons.
In fact, the two have combined for 4,621 receiving yards and 35 touchdowns over the past two seasons. That’s despite Higgins missing four games and Chase missing five.
The quarterback’s older son, Jack, posed back to back with the former Patriots star.
Tom Brady is listed at 6’4”, and it looks like his older son, Jack, inherited his height gene. The legendary quarterback shared a photo of the 15-year-old and cracked a quip at the expensive of one of his favorite former teammates, Julian Edelman.
In an Instagram story posted earlier this week, Jack—Brady’s son with ex Bridget Moynahan—stood back-to-back with Edelman, and he’s clearly a few inches taller than the 5’10” Patriots great.
With a championship on the line, the Eagles arrived in Arizona with arms wide open.
With the Eagles and Chiefs set to face off in Super Bowl LVII, the stakes could not be any higher. And, in preparation, Philadelphia is approaching the big game with arms wide open.
All along their run to the Super Bowl, the Eagles have received an auditory boost from the band Creed, which churned out hits in the late-’90s and early aughts. While their prominent place in a football team’s 2022–23 run to a title may seem ripped out of time, the tactic has clearly payed off for Philadelphia.

Russ’ children’s charity pays his friends more than it gives to kids.
Russell Wilson is struggling as a quarterback, but he’s absolutely rolling when it comes to scamming donors to his charity. A ranging report from USA Today published on Wednesday outlined that Wilson’s “Why Not You? Foundation” had only donated approximately 40 percent of its earnings to charity, with the rest going to fundraising and employee salaries.
In total Russ’ foundation received $7.5M in revenue in through 2021, but only reported $2.
Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson is said to be “doing well” after being hospitalized following a scooter accident on Wednesday night.
