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

Login to view embedded media
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.

Congrats to the young man!

His height made me do a little research into the heights in the OSU WR room. Innis is the "shortest" of the primary WRs at 6 feet.

Joey Chestnut reclaims title in Nathan's hot dog eating contest​

Famed competitive eater Joey "Jaws" Chestnut reclaimed his title Friday at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest after after skipping last year's gastronomic battle in New York for the coveted Mustard Belt.

Chestnut, 41, consumed 70½ hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, falling short of his record of 76 wieners and buns set on July 4, 2021. It marked the 17th win in 20 appearances for the Westfield, Indiana, eater at the internationally televised competition, which he missed in 2024 over a contract dispute.

Defending champion in the women's division, Miki Sudo of Tampa, Florida, won her 11th title, downing 33 dogs, besting a dozen competitors. Last year, she ate a record 51.

It’s appalling what we’ve allowed to happen

It’s worst in higher education

Real estate isn’t that far behind

I grew up in an ok neighborhood where every man was blue collar, every woman was a homemaker, and every family lived in a single family home with a mortgage payment that was less than a week of the man’s wages (after taxes)(all of the men agreed that this ratio was the foundation of a household budget).

In a vain attempt to get us back on-topic… I’m sure this is all UC’s fault. Fuck these Insane Clown College Pukes

Especially when schools aren’t called on the carpet when the athletic departments run on student fees. I haven’t looked in a while, but I would guess that Texas and Michigan are the only schools on the Buckeye schedule that don’t.

I will state to the end of my days that his record for yards with the QB's he had throwing, in the era that he played in is one of the most impressive records you will ever find.

Was recently watching 02 and 03 season games, and while Krenzel was a lot of great things, accurate and consistent passer was not among them.

Always thought Jenkins shoud’ve had a better career, but he ended up with more career yards than I remember and played for 9 years.

Winfield was fearless. Still mad at Urban for not offering his kid who turned out to be a stud.

I was also a big Nate Clements fan when he was a Buckeye.

That 1998 secondary was so good, freshman Nate Clements was the nickel back.

IIRC he went on to be the highest paid NFL defensive player of all time at one point wit the 49ers ?(long since broken).

That's what's so frustrating about a segment of our fanbase. OSU in no way had a team full of former 5stars last season, they had a complete team, which yes, they had some former 5stars. But they also had a former 3star at QB, a former 5star IOL playing LT for most of the season, an unranked TE transfer from the MAC, and multiple transfers in general who no one knew would mesh with the team. That's what makes the BS narrative that Day "bought" this team so laughable. He had to make a complete team, and no amount of money thrown at players is going to create a team at this level. That might work in the NFL(might), but grown men who are professionals don't have to worry about classes, fans on campus, etc. And OSU didn't have the jealousy or contract issues that you heard about at other schools, and the best example is OSU being the only team not to lose a major contributor, or someone who could be starting next year to the Portal.

If we can keep up this quality of roster retention, and I think we will, that will keep us a contender every season in its own right. I know some people want to talk down on the portal and claim "we can't rely on it" but we have shown we can and will use the portal well to fill slots that are needed, and that will continue as well. In the end can you really rely on a HS kid who has never set foot on a college field either? I know you can't force players to enter the portal but there is always going to be decent players there for the taking.

If he doesn't win it all by 2027 then he may have the hottest seat in all of sports. Because Uncle Phil is doing everything in his might to get Lanning all of the talent in the world.

Bags of wampum.

Elite offer list, has he flown under the radar because of the PA high school or not being on the camp circuit or something?

He only played like 3 games last year and then got injured. So his rating plummeted. Playing at IMG should bump it back by seasons end
