So I just discovered that former NBA player Chase Budinger is in the olympics for men's beach volleyball.

US WBB whacks Japan 102-76 despite shooting 20% from 3 (Sabrina went 3-7 and the rest of the team went a stunning 1-13). Just shows you how dominant the USWBB defense is.

Imagine we get a Utah/Warriors trade on August 5th but it's a Wiggins for Sexton swap instead of what we're expecting

There better be a follow up trade cause that's a ton of guards.

Thanks for including the material on the women’s Olympic team. I appreciate your including the WNBA.

I second this! Posting is at a premium these days but I enjoy the articles and comments when I get to them! I know the Valkyries blog is gonna be sweet too, if that still happens.

Happy DVR Death day to me; the HDMI port on my current cable box appears to have pooped out, so I'm going to need a replacement, which means I'm going to lose all my recorded games from the 2022 championship run as well as the 2022 Steph Curry All Star game MVP game...

Thank god for our Peacock sub or we'd be SOL in the middle of the Olympics, which makes nobody in the family happy.

Boooo.

My new hard drive, which had my copies of all recorded games and past E1Ps and which died, miraculously resurrected itself for a day so I could copy my files off. Between me and everyone at DNHQ, we might be able to replace your lost games.

Great news! I’m probably too lazy to try and get copies of games but you never know, good to know the community has it covered for sure.

Of course, you had original content, not just copies of games, so really glad you managed to save them before the drive went fully kaput.

Three years ago on this date, the Warriors rejected a hilariously lopsided and terrible trade for Ben Simmons. The proposal was: Ben Simmons for Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, 2021 #7 and 14 picks, and two future 1st round picks.

Was this ever confirmed somewhere? I remember there were rumors, but never heard an official offer for sure.

Good stuff there. That would have been awfulness. Fast forward to now, Mike and Joe will act accordingly with Ainge. Moving on.

> two future 1st round picks.

One of which turned into Podz, right?

There are trades that win a championship, and then there are trades you *don't* do that win a championship.

I'd trade for Olympic KD. Haha.
