Warriors are also sending doubles at Trae Young. Just tried to trap him at half court before he found LeVert for that bucket. – 7:38 PM

“Shoot! Men lie, women lie but numbers don’t lie.” Was Trae Young’s response when @Powell2daPeople asked him why Dyson Daniels should be the DPOY. – 12:11 PM

Risacher, who doesn’t turn 20 until April 8, tied Rockets guard Jalen Green (4) for third in NBA history among teenagers with the most games with 20 or more points scored and five-plus 3-pointers made, according to Stat Mamba. Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (8) and Grizzlies forward GG Jackson (5) are the others. “He should be, in my eyes, and I’m not saying it because I’m biased, but I think (he) should be Rookie of the Year,” Young said. “What he’s been doing this year, he’s been thrown into the fire as a starter. You put him up against some of the guys in the running. I think his numbers speak for himself, too. -via Atlanta Journal-Constitution / March 19, 2025
Jorge Sierra: Brook Lopez passed KEVIN GARNETT in blocks last night and is now No. 18 all-time. Also: Hawks guard Trae Young passed former Hawks guard and podcast superstar Jeff Teague in assists for No. 89 in NBA history. -via Bluesky / March 17, 2025
Sources told HoopsHype that the Hawks and Pelicans had several three-team trade conversations, which included two of the following four players leaving Atlanta in different trade scenarios for Ingram that ultimately fell through: Clint Capela, Onyeka Okongwu, De’Andre Hunter, and Bogdan Bogdanovic. Hunter and Bogdanovic were traded to the Cavaliers and Clippers in separate deals. Atlanta is ideally not looking to go over the luxury tax threshold next season, HoopsHype has learned, which will play a role in the team’s roster construction this summer and the futures of those veterans. -via HoopsHype / March 3, 2025
Caleb Johnson: Onyeka Okongwu on his game ending foul of Victor Wembanyama, “For a play like that the officials should let the players play…especially for a dude like him. Dude is like eight foot. He shouldn’t be getting that call and the end of the game like that.” -via Twitter / February 6, 2025
The promotion to the starting lineup was a reward for how well Onyeka Okongwu played recently and an opportunity to see what he could do as a starter, league sources told HoopsHype. With Clint Capela’s recent move to the bench in the final year of his contract at $22.27 million, executives around the league are monitoring the veteran center on the trade market. Yet, with Cleveland roughly $1.9 million above the luxury tax threshold, NBA executives are monitoring whether Cleveland will try to duck the tax with a trade. -via HoopsHype / January 23, 2025
