Remember when Yaxel Lendeborg claimed Kentucky offered him $7-to-9 million in the last transfer portal cycle? And that he turned it down for way less to play for Michigan? It turns out that everyone with any sense who thought ‘that’s probably not true’ was correct. During his Monday radio show, Mark Pope denied the claim […]

When the Nets traded Cam J0hnson for Michael Porter Jr. and the Denver Nuggets unprotected first rounder in 2032, there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth. Renting of garments. The whole biblical megilla. No excess verbiage was squandered. It was b-a-d, double-bad, bad. Who can forget Bill Simmons? He seemed actually angered by the […]
