Biden has pushed funding and weapons to the Israeli military despite clear evidence they will be used for the genocide of Palestinians. So yes he is responsible.

Dominos is really only worth it if you’re doing the 2 for $5.99 each deal. Although I think that’s even up to $6.99 now lol

Yeah I agree with pretty much all your points although I think given Embiids health history it makes sense keeping him at 1B. KD at this point should’ve been 2A and yeah thought it was a bit odd they had Brown so low he should’ve been 2B.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the trade did not include any draft compensation and was a "straight-up swap."

Must be because he’s in his last year of his deal but yeah feels like they could’ve gotten more. Especially with the deals timing it feels like he wasn’t even shopped around?

Per Woj:

The Chicago Bulls are trading two-time All-Defensive guard Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Josh Giddey, sources tell ESPN.

Solid move by OKC.

Definitely, he’ll make a solid trio with Hali and Turner they can build around for the future.

They especially need his defense given how terrible most of the team is in that aspect.

Has to be the most $ left a coach has on their deal when fired right?

The Celtics complete the gentleman's sweep tonight with their 106-88 win tonight.

They were finally able to get over the hump and have won the Celtics 18th championship to put them ahead of the Lakers all time. Let's see how the offseason is looking for them:

Cap Space

Contracts

Draft Picks

1st Round

2nd Round

**Got uploads to work until I tried the 2nd round, will update once it's working again. **

Source

Outlook

The Celtics continued their regular season dominance throughout the playoffs and were able to win their first title with this core finally.

While they'll enter next season well over the cap and likely over the 2nd Apron they have their core all signed for at least 1 more year so won't have to worry about coming back the next year weaker like most of the recent Champions have had to deal with.

Unlike a lot of the recent champions they also have a lot of draft capital still. They own their own pick for the next 3 years they can use to make some trades should they feel they need to make some minor upgrades or add some depth as they face the grind of attempting to repeat next season.

With their dominance this season and most of their core still relatively young they'll feel optimistic about their chance to repeat next year.
