Unfortunately no. I think the only way we can get around this is by uploading an avatar for your profile with the team you support. But it's definitely more annoying

Good on the Pistons. Honestly despite the lack of winning, they seem like a top-class franchise.

Rico Hines is joining the 76ers as an assistant on Nick Nurse's coaching staff, sources tell ESPN. Hines had been a part of Nurse's staff with the Raptors. Hines is a former player development coach who has worked his way to a front-of-the-bench assistant.

Cam Boozer (top rated recruit in the class of 2025, current top draft projection for 2026 and son of Carlos Boozer) had the top line of 24/12/1 going 9/9 on 2PA and 1/4 on 3PA

FVV wants 30MM. If you're choosing between FVV @ 30MM or Harden @ 40MM, it's a real discussion. That's almost a full MLE player.

Teams with cap space that can sign him are the Rockets and Magic. The rumours of him going to the Sixers require more cap maneuvering (i.e. a S+T). I don't know how much he actually cares about winning, rather he wants his bag (and I say this as a Raptors fan).

Maybe the best situation for him is Orlando. They could be a play-in team as soon as next year, and they have lots of cheap talent on the roster so they can pay FVV the money he wants.

Good luck to the team that signs him. He's good, but he needs to be the 3rd or 4th best player on a team with championship aspirations

He'd have to be on a minutes restriction right? Honestly smells more like a decoy more than anything else
