Chris Paul has bounced from team to team as one of the greatest point guards in league history.
One of the many benefits of being a superstar player in the NBA is that it usually comes with a level of job security. Very rarely are you switching teams unless you are the one who asks out. And even then, you still usually don’t play for more than two to three teams for the entirety of your career.
Chris Paul hasn’t really had that luxury. Some of that is on him (he’s requested trades before).
According to college volleyball player Macy Petty, ChatGPT doesn’t appreciate seeing messages that don’t promote the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports.
Petty, who plays for Lee University in Tennessee, shared her bizarre experience using the artificial intelligence platform with Fox News. She explained that she had written out a tweet voicing her opinion that female athletes need to stand up against biological men taking away opportunities in women’s athletics.
Lonzo Ball will not play at all during the 2023-24 NBA season.
Chicago Bulls President of Basketball Operations Artūras Karnišovas confirmed the news Thursday night.
“I think our expectation is that he’s not coming back next season and he’s going to continue on his recovery,” Karnišovas said. “If he comes back, it would be great. But we’re just going to treat this offseason and getting ready for the season that he’s not going to be back next season.”

Wemby finds his happy place, and the Rockets get away with robbery.
The 2023 NBA Draft is in the books, and while we didn’t get the league-shattering drama the night potentially promised, we did see a lot of teams get much, much better.
A lack of major draft movement is a major theme of what we saw on Thursday night. There was no mammoth Damian Lillard trade, the Pelicans didn’t find a way to move up to get Scoot Henderson, and Zion Williamson is still in New Orleans.
The Celtics traded longtime point guard Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies on Wednesday night in a three-team trade that sent Kristaps Porzingis to Boston and Tyus Jones to the Wizards.
Draft capital was also exchanged between the three sides, but the most impactful part of the deal was Boston’s ability to land Porzingis, which meant parting with Smart, who has been the heart and soul of the franchise for the past nine years.
Smart spent his entire career with Boston to this point, and the team reached the postseason each of his nine years.
The Knicks are always a possible star destination, seemingly connected to any player who may be on the move. However, there appears to be one player who actually prefers to be traded anywhere else, if he’s traded at all.
According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, Bulls guard Zach LaVine and his representation are against a trade to New York, should Chicago choose to move on from him. The report states that LaVine’s camp is concerned that Knicks president Leon Rose, who is a former CAA agent, appears to favor CAA clients.
Transcendent prospect Victor Wembanyama was officially selected with the No. 1 pick by the Spurs in Thursday night’s NBA draft, and he’s already saying all the right things as the next face of the franchise.
Wembanyama reportedly told coach Gregg Popovich during the pre-draft process that he wanted to work with Tim Duncan and learn from him as he develops his NBA game.
“Tim Duncan, if I get the opportunity to work with him, I can’t really think of a better role model,” Wembanyama told reporters on Thursday night.
