Kevin Porter Jr.'s days with the Houston Rockets could be numbered. The 23-year-old guard was arrested for an alleged assault on his girlfriend earlier this week and the Rockets are looking to trade him alongside draft compensation, according to a report from The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Dejounte Murray is finalizing a four-year, $112 million contract extension with the Atlanta Hawks that can increase to $120 million with bonuses, his agent, Rich Paul, told ESPN's Brian Windhorst on Thursday.

Murray averaged 20.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists last season in his first season with the Hawks after being traded from the San Antonio Spurs. Murray teamed with Trae Young in the backcourt to lead the Hawks to a 41-41 record before falling in six games to the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Murray spent five seasons with the Spurs and was named to the NBA's All-Defensive second team in 2018.

Just In: Charlotte Hornets All-Star LaMelo Ball is finalizing a five-year designated maximum contract extension that is worth up to $260 million, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Even with a mandatory RTO for several days, I find myself not really getting more actual work done at the office (surprise).

I think when I'm productive and focused, even at home I get maybe 3-4 hours of meaningful tasks accomplished.

Let's say the lights change appropriately so there's no risk of it instantly changing and someone already driving having to slam their brakes or somehow hitting you.

And the stand in line one is pretty straight-forward.

Veteran forward Danilo Gallinari has exercised his $6.8 million player option to return to the Boston Celtics for the 2023-2024 season, his agent Michael Tellem of Excel Sports Management told ESPN on Thursday.

For flight: you have the ability to fly, let's assume Superman-status.

For invisibility: you can become invisible at will along with your clothes, so no awkward mishaps. You can't make objects invisible though.

We'll say the lottery is over $100M USD and the average lifespan is 75. We'll also say that quality of life in terms of your body scales, so if you're 80 you'd have the body of a 40 year old.

WouldYouRather or “Would you rather” (abbreviated as WYR) is a place to have a conversation that poses a dilemma in the form of a question beginning with “would you rather”.

The OP asks a question or options that are either similarly good or similarly bad and people in the comments discuss how they would answer.

Examples:

WYR have the power of flight or the power of invisibility? WYR fight 1 horse sized duck, or 100 duck sized horses? WYR find true love or be a millionaire?

The Celtics seem to believe they have their man in guard/forward Jaylen Brown. Or at least one of their two main men, along with fellow wing Jayson Tatum.Jaylen Brown tries to drive by Bradley Beal

As we relayed here, the Celtics are aiming to sign Brown to a supermax contract extension, and continue to build around Brown and Tatum.

And despite some chatter about Wizards guard Bradley Beal, who supposedly is available, the Celtics don’t seem to be interested, per Brian Windhorst of ESPN. This despite Beal’s close relationship with Tatum.

“My feel from talking to sources is that the Celtics are not necessarily in on this one,” Windhorst said on ESPN. “Their intention is to get Jaylen Brown on a contract extension this year. Even if they got Jaylen Brown done, the idea of bringing in Bradley Beal would be extraordinarily difficult because of the three contracts together.

“I don’t think any conversation that involves trading Jaylen Brown is something the Celtics are super interested in right now.”

Windhorst went on to say that a Beal trade will be difficult, given that he has a no-trade clause in his contract — and therefore could keep the Wizards from getting back “the haul” they likely would be seeking in return.

Recently found myself in a position where I'm facing a 2-3 day RTO. Definitely wary of a situation where they're forcing us back to 5 days.

Feels like it's becoming more and more common for companies to force a return to office. I've seen everything from an initial 2-3 day hybrid situation to 5 days a week, even for those who've been remote for so long. Would love to hear about others' experience.
