[Serious] The Athletic: Associates of Ja Morant verbally accosted Pacers personnel and someone trained a red laser on them from a nearby SUV postgame on Jan. 29.
More: The two members of the traveling party who spoke to The Athletic said that they did not see who shined the laser from the SUV. They also don’t know if the laser was attached to a gun, but they believed it was. A Pacers security guard in the loading area at the time remarked: “That’s 100 percent a gun.”
“NBA Security and league investigators conducted an investigation interviewing numerous eyewitnesses and reviewing video surveillance following allegations made by the Indiana Pacers organization regarding a postgame incident on Jan. 29. While we substantiated that a postgame situation arose that was confrontational, based on interviews and other evidence gathered, we could not corroborate that any individual threatened others with a weapon,” Bass said.
Video of confrontation in-arena.
Details:
The verbal sparring continued intermittently for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, until Morant entered the loading area. He, Pack and the others dispersed into two vehicles. Morant, Pack and one other person got into an SUV, sources said. The first vehicle turned toward the bus before exiting up a ramp and out of the arena’s loading area. The SUV moved toward the Pacers bus, turned, slowed, and that was when members of the Pacers traveling party noticed a red laser coming from the car and being trained on players, coaches and others

I don’t know what the context of this is, perhaps it’s Kyrie, or the scoring record, or a song lyric. I really don’t know. The replies aren’t helping either imo hahaha

[Marc Stein via Substack] The Nets also succeeded, as one source close to the process put it, in meeting one of the presumed objectives held by team owner Joe Tsai by sending Irving somewhere other than the Lakers – his preferred destination.
Further:
The Nets' refused Dallas' attempts to ship them Christian Wood's expiring contract or one of its less palatable long-term deals held by Tim Hardaway Jr. and Davis Bertans.
Wood is attracting interest from Clippers along with D'Angelo Russell.
Stein has previously mentioned, and again mentions that KD is big fan of Dorian Finney Smith.

News [Begley] Lakers had offer earlier in week that included Russell Westbrook and a first round pick for Irving
twitter.com[Moore] The Lakers simply would not move those picks. Not for Myles Turner and Buddy Hield, not for various assets from Utah, not for various assets from San Antonio and, according to league sources, not in weekend discussions for Irving.

A move that seems to fit what they want is a trade for Bradley Beal, but the Wizards have made it clear over and over again that they have no interest in trading Beal (despite having a lot of long-term incentive to do so) and he has a no-trade clause.

The Nets' winning percentage with Kyrie versus without Kyrie is a perfect demonstration of Simpson's paradox.
The Nets had a higher winning percentage without Kyrie than they did with him in each individual season that he was on their team; but if you add up all of the wins and losses over the last four seasons, their winning percentage with him is actually higher with him than without him.
2022-23 | Record with Kyrie: 24-16 (.600) | Record without Kyrie: 8-4 (.667)
2021-22 | Record with Kyrie: 14-15 (.483) | Record without Kyrie: 30-23 (.566)
2020-21 | Record with Kyrie: 36-18 (.667) | Record without Kyrie: 12-6 (.667)
2019-20 | Record with Kyrie: 8-12 (.400) | Record without Kyrie: 27-25 (.519)
All 4 Seasons | Record with Kyrie: 82-61 (.573) | Record without Kyrie: 77-58 (.570)
This is a perfect demonstration of Simpson's paradox where averages over individual time periods indicate one trend while the combined data indicates the opposite trend. The reason for this is because the sample sizes for each individual season varied by a lot.

[Amick] A significant obstacle emerged in the early stages of the talks between LAL and the BKN ... They were only looking to give BKN the kind of return they’re requesting if Irving was willing to accept the two-year, $78.6 million extension they could immediately agree on as part of the deal.

[Amick] The Lakers would trade both 1st’s, Reaves and Christie [along with Russ] if Kyrie signs a 2-year extension. Jeanie is on board. But Kyrie wants a 4-year max this summer. The Lakers offer is significantly less if Kyrie doesn’t sign the 2-year
Sam Amick for The Athletic via Corvo
Multiple reports suggest Lakers are ready to go all in but wary of Kyrie bolting in a few months time. The above scenario would also need the inclusion of another player in the trade.
Would be a solid return for the Nets but definitely not good enough if they aim to retain KD?
