Good morning, a major NBA trade has shaken up at least 3 lives

Good morning. Let’s basketball.

TRADE SIREN: This is a big one. Quincy Acy and Travis Outlaw to the Knicks, Wayne Ellington, Jeremy Tyler and a dropping of any encumbrances on a 2016 second already sent to the Kings by the Knicks. So, basically, Wayne Ellington for Acy and Outlaw. Okay!

THUNDER DOWN: Matt Moore on what ailed the Thunder last season.

ANSWER MAN: Eric Bledsoe and Greg Monroe have problems. I have solutions.

ANOTHER NASH: Good piece on Forum Blue & Gold about not wanting to remember Steve Nash for his last two seasons.

THE ENEMY CLOSER TO HOME: Ethan Strauss on why NBA owners should be more concerned with the NCAA than FIBA.

MORE FIBA TALK: The NBA.com writers weigh in on the FIBA/injury debate.

WELP: Jeremy Lin “dunk cammed” his mom.

LEAN BACK.

IT’S ROOKIE KARAOKE! I’m not just what else I need to say.

WHY NOT? Darren Collison is ready to lead the Kings.

STRETCH: Interesting data on the impact of stretch fours.

YES: There is a Croatian prospect named Dragan Bender.

BOOGIE WOOGIE: Who gets the blame if DeMarcus Cousins doesn’t make Team USA?

ROOKIE SURVEY! Of course Joel Embiid got voted funniest.

DAMMIT: Greg Oden arrested for battery on a woman in Indiana.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Wu Tang Clan’s reunion is on. On The Daily Show last night, the WTC did an interview and performed their new single “Ron O’Neal” plus “Triumph.” Gods. (If that link gets yanked, Comedy Central should be posted the videos sometime today.)

HELP: A worthy cause to remember a friend to many of us.
