Carter was next. And he decided, on the spot, to junk the easier first dunk he’d planned to do for the more dangerous 360. “I tell you the truth,” Carter said. “That dunk, the first dunk, the reverse windmill. I had tried that, worked on it so many times, and could barely make that dunk in practice. But my adrenaline was so, so high, to where I said, ‘You know what? I think I can pull it off.’ And, that’s just what it was. KG was probably hyping me up from afar. Because I remember walking out on the court, all nervous, hands a little sweaty.

Each season, teams are given a maximum allotment of money that either can be sent out in transactions or take back in transactions, with the figure this season at $7.24 million.

“Okay, let’s talk a little about last night’s game. You beat the Raptors very, very easily. But you’re up 23, and Canadian Tristan Thompson goes for a dunk with just a few seconds left. Obviously, the Raptor players weren’t happy about it. Their coach called it ‘no class,’ ‘disrespectful.’ What’s going on here? Why?” Darius Garland: “I wish I knew, man. He’s gonna do whatever he wants to do. They were playing hard; he wanted to continue playing hard. He wanted to go dunk it, and this was the result. I mean, there was a lot of commotion ..read more

A fresh start somewhere where guys played hard and they listened. I heard good things about Scottie [Barnes], I heard good things about [Immanuel] Quickley and I thought it was a good fit offensively and defensively. And Darko [Rajakovic] had a part in that too.” “He said he really likes oxtail in Toronto,” Rajakovic said of his newest player. “He really likes the city ..read more

No. 2 and No. 3 are very much to be determined. Ingram has battled a myriad of injuries over the course of his nine-year NBA career and hasn’t played more than 64 games since his rookie season with the Lakers.
