More than bro imho. Kitang-kita kasi dun sa 2 picstures sa taas. Nabasa ko din yang report na yan pero mas credible yung nilabas na statement nang NBA mismo na more than 1 inch yung difference.

^1 inch difference sa minimum distance required by the NBA (4 feet). Not sure if anyone uses the minimum though, parang mas sanay tayo makita na malayo yung stanchion.

"The exact distance between the Thomas & Mack baseline and the stanchion is 3 feet, 11 inches, a tighter set-up than in most, if not all, NBA arenas. NBA rules stipulate that stanchions are required to be at least four feet behind the baseline for NBA games."

Acceptable naman daw yung stanchion distance sa Thomas & Mack according to Team USA officials.

"Larry Bird issued a statement on Paul George's injury, stating that the injury could "have occurred anytime, anywhere.

Team USA officials have determined that the basket stanchion was a safe distance away from the court at the Thomas & Mack Center, where George was injured, and Bird offered nothing but support for the national program."

Looks credible:

"The Timberwolves and Cavaliers have agreed to a trade in principle that would send Love to Cleveland for a package headlined by rookie Andrew Wiggins, according to Brian Windhorst in a radio appearance with Chris Broussard and Ryan Ruocco. The deal can officially be completed on Aug. 23 when Wiggins will no longer to bound by a rule that says players cannot be traded for 30 days following the signing of a new contract.

Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall selection from the 2013 draft, is also reportedly involved in the deal, but he may not be sticking in Minnesota. Bennett could be re-routed to Philadelphia in a trade that would send Thaddeus Young to the Timberwolves.

The deal is done, but not done," Windhorst said. "The teams have agreed, but they can't say they have agreed and they can't agree because we are in this weird moratorium period. Because you can't trade Andrew Wiggins until the 23rd of this month."

I wonder why nobody else is talking to Shawn Marion. Solid contributor siya last year sa Mavs, any contending team could use him.

"Unrestricted free agent Shawn Marion is in Cleveland on a recruiting visit for the Cavaliers, according to sources.

Marion would provide some solid depth for Cleveland backing up LeBron James, however, he wouldn't have much fantasy value off the bench. This is still in the very early stages, and it's not even clear how the team will look upon a potential Kevin Love deal, but if Marion is interested in joining a contender it would make sense to team up with James."

IND is also interested. Lalo na at nawala pa si PG, kelangan na kelangan nila kagaya si marion. Tapos mawawala pa sa luxury tax ang suweldo ni PG, so sana aggresive IND kasi CLE seems to be the front-runner.

^Just read it, interested nga Indiana kay Marion at kung kani-kaninong SF hehe. IMO ang kelangan ng Indiana starting SF, yung scorer.

Jeff Green would be a nice target for the Pacers.

Ron Artest is one silly dude!

"New high-profile import playing for Chinese basketball Association club Sichuan Blue Whales is known as Ron Artest but intends to change his name to "The Pandas Friend" in honor of his move to China."
