San Antonio Spurs Trade Malaki Branham to Washington Wizards After Three Seasons​

The No. 22 overall pick in the 2022 draft, Branham started strong in his rookie season in San Antonio, starting 32 games and averaging 10.2 points per contest. His production decreased slightly to 9.2 points per game in his sophomore season, but he still started 29 games. His role decreased significantly last season, however, as Branham played just 9.1 minutes per game with zero starts and averaged five points per appearance.

His role in the Spurs’ backcourt was unlikely to increase after the Spurs used the No. 2 overall pick to draft Rutgers guard Dylan Harper to pair with 2024 first-round pick Stephon Castle and veteran point guard De’Aaron Fox. In Washington, however, he’ll have the opportunity for a fresh start for a team that went just 18-64 last season.

That said, he’ll still have to earn his way into the Wizards’ rotation as they already upgraded their backcourt this offseason by trading for veteran guard CJ McCollum and drafting Texas guard Tre Johnson, giving them an overstocked roster of guards and wings that they’ll need to make some cuts from.

Some of the information coming out of the TX flooding is astounding.

Parts received nearly a foot and a half of rain in a 24-hour period.

It was a widespread area of large amounts of rainfall, so a ton was dumped all over this Hill region of the state.

The river rose 29 feet in an hour (from 3 feet to 32 feet) at one spot.

From 9am to 10am the river rose 1 foot every 2 minutes!

This kinda sums it up well.

The Kerr County area experienced an extraordinary rainfall event, with 10 to 12 inches of rain falling in just a few hours on July 4.

The volume of water that poured down is estimated to be more than 100 billion gallons, a staggering amount that surpasses the daily flow over Niagara Falls.

It says "flooding" not "flash food". I'm expecting some heavy weather here soon. The globalists seems to have their weather machine cranked up to 11 lately.

If there was any mercy to be had this franchise would have folded years ago.

Scott Frost now says leaving UCF for Nebraska 'wasn't a good move,' blaming quality of job over performance​

After a humiliating run at Nebraska, Frost is back where he first found success, but he's quick to shift responsibility for his failures​

Asked Tuesday at Big 12 Media Days what he learned from his humbling tenure with the Huskers, Frost offered a deflection rather than reflection.

"Don't take the wrong job," Frost said, via The Athletic's Chris Vannini.

It's a telling remark from a coach who continues to favor excuses over accountability. Rather than acknowledge the poor results and repeated late-game collapses that defined his Nebraska tenure, Frost pointed to the job itself, not his performance in it, as the problem.

This revisionist narrative conveniently ignores how badly things fell apart in Lincoln, where Frost was hailed as a savior but delivered Nebraska's worst stretch in 60 years. The Huskers went an astonishing 5–22 in one-score games under Frost, a staggering indictment of game management and preparedness -- two things squarely in a head coach's control.

Frost, however, sees himself more as a victim of circumstance than the architect of his own downfall.

"I said I wouldn't leave (UCF) unless it was someplace you could win a national championship," Frost said, according to Vannini. "I got tugged in a direction to try to help my alma mater and didn't really want to do it. It wasn't a good move. I'm lucky to get back to a place where I was a lot happier."

That self-pitying narrative glosses over just how thoroughly he was backed at Nebraska -- financially, administratively and emotionally by one of the most passionate fan bases in college sports -- and how little he delivered in return.

Frost told Sports Illustrated in June that he had no interest in returning to college football and expected to stay in the NFL, where he worked last season as a senior analyst with the Los Angeles Rams. But when Gus Malzahn left UCF for a coordinator job at Florida State, Frost was quick to embrace a reunion in Orlando.
