Earlier in the week, news broke that the NBA would be stiffening its policies against stars missing games for rest. Wednesday, the rules were approved, and Adam Silver is clearly looking to dial back the load management movement and make sure more of the league's best players are on the floor more often. Among the rules: For teams with two "stars" (defined as All-NBA or All-Star over the last three seasons), only one is allowed to miss a game in a night due to rest. Those games shouldn't be national TV games, or in the mid-season tournament, and preferably not on the road, either. And for teams that might be trying to either tank or move disgruntled stars? The NBA will be paying a lot more attention to that, too. Those guys need to be on the floor, barring injury. (Though, perhaps, not "injury.") How the league enforces all this is hard to say, but for the Lakers, there are obvious implications for LeBron James and Anthony Davis, two players who certainly will need to be maintained throughout the year. Then again, the league built in a type of grandfather clause for older players, where they can, with some heads up, to the NBA receive permission for scheduled rest days. That could be important. It'll be interesting to see how these new rules, combined with the higher standards of games required to be eligible for postseason awards, tilt things in the league. Will guys play more? Does it matter the Lakers have two stars, but the Nuggets (seen as the favorite in the West) only have one? Where will these new tweaks have an influence on the standings in what's expected to be a tight Western Conference race? Finally, we were asked to dive into the schedule again by a viewer on the YouTube channel, so that's where we head for the final segment. It's a very, very different deal this year for the Lakers than the last two, with potential implications and challenges that haven't been as acute in years past. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The NBA hands down it's anti-rest rules. SEGMENT 2: How much will the new rules impact the Lakers, LeBron and AD? SEGMENT 3: How the schedule isn't so cooperative this year for the Lakers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Chris Herrington, Daily Memphian, on NFL/NBA, Grizz, All-NBA w/Geoff Calkins

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, departing beat reporter Mike Singer is joined by editor Matt Schubert and new beat reporter Bennett Durando to discuss the passing of the torch, the Nuggets' return to form and the Western Conference pecking order. Among the topics discussed: + Is Jamal Murray betting on himself to make an All-Star team or All-NBA team before signing an extension? Is that the right decision? + With Bruce Brown off to Indiana to collect his bag, how will the Nuggets replace their malleable bench piece? Which of their three rookies is most likely to become a contributor in Year 1? Did the Nuggets make a mistake letting Jeff Green walk? + Nikola Jokic and Murray both elected to opt out of playing for their countries in the World Cup. No doubt that's welcome news for the Nuggets, but basketball heads around the world are disappointed. + The boys discuss the return of the Western Conference as the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers improve their rosters, while the Golden State Warriors remain a threat. Also, which young teams will rise? The Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder or Sacramento Kings? + As Mike departs, he reflects on his tenure covering five Nuggets seasons that saw them make the playoffs each year and eventually become NBA champions. What are some of his favorite memories on the beat?

Anthony Davis has said he wants to win Defensive Player of the Year. He'd like to make All-NBA teams, and more. The NBA says you need to play 65 games, at least, to qualify for those, and any other end-of-season awards. The Lakers have 15 back-to-backs. So when you start to put all of this stuff together, it creates an interesting potential question. Should A.D. stay healthy enough that injury doesn't fully threaten the 65 game awards threshold, the Lakers will still likely be looking to manage his workload in an effort to help keep him healthy for the postseason. So what happens if his (completely understandable) personal goals are in conflict with what the medical staff thinks is best? It's not just a question about Davis, really, but whether the NBA's efforts to get stars playing in more games, and resting for fewer, works. Meanwhile, many people are assuming the Lakers will start Rui Hachimura at power forward this year, because they paid him a bunch of money this offseason. But is that the best course of action? Might a better argument be made for Jarred Vanderbilt, one that emphasizes the ability to get the most out of both players? Finally, Austin Reaves is playing excellent basketball for Team USA, and showing the rest of the NBA fan universe what Lakers fans have been saying for a while now. And even the non-Lakers fans out there (and that's a lot of folks) have to accept that Reaves is for real. All of this and more in Part 2 of our conversation with Mike Trudell of Lakers.com, Spectrum Sportsnet and so many other places. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Will AD play enough games to qualify for DPOY? What happens if he wants to play but the staff says he should sit? SEGMENT 2: Who starts at power forward? SEGMENT 3: Austin Reaves is showing the rest of the world what Lakers fans already knew.

Off the top, they discuss whether it's more likely that Scottie Barnes will make two All-NBA teams in his career, or that Pascal Siakam will make at least two more All-NBA teams on top of the two nods he's already earned. Next, they chat about Gary Trent Jr. and whether it's more likely that his long-term NBA future will see him remain a starter or pivot to becoming a sixth man for the majority of his remaining career games. Lastly, inspired by listener Jeff, Sean and Vivek dig into what the more likely outcome for Precious Achiuwa is over the next five years: an All-Star appearance, or washing out of the NBA entirely?

Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes aim at the dumbest rule in sports -- the clause in NBA contracts that allows players to earn tens of millions of dollars more just for being named to an All-NBA team. It made a huge difference in Karl-Anthony Towns' contract extension, and whether Anthony Edwards makes an All-NBA team this season will be the difference in about $43 million on his deal over the next five seasons. Plus Rand responds to a listener query about Twins injuries and notes the recent cooling off from Luis Arraez. 11:00: Star Tribune sports intern Noah Furtado joins Rand to talk about three teams he's been covering lately: Minnesota Aurora, United and Lynx. All three are trending in the right direction, with Aurora set for a big playoff game Thursday and the other two finding their footing. 29:00: Speaking of the Lynx, Cheryl Reeve made it known that the team definitely isn't "tanking" for better draft position in 2024. Eight wins in their last 11 games offer ample evidence.

Kopech was 3-7 with a 4.08 ERA in 16 starts this season, striking out 97 and walking 49 in 86 innings. The 27-year-old is in his fourth major league season, all with the White Sox, with a career 13-20 record and 3.77 ERA. Chicago selected the contract of right-hander Bryan Shaw from Triple-A Charlotte and transferred infielder Romy Gonzalez (right shoulder inflammation) to the 60-day IL. Golf – PGA – Rickie Fowler wins Rocket Mortgage Classic in playoff Rickie Fowler made a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, outlasting Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin two weeks after squandering a chance to win his first major at the U.S. Open. The 34-year-old Fowler got his first PGA Tour victory since winning the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open. He had the 54-hole lead at last month’s U.S. Open and in one tournament in each of the previous two years. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Yesterday Chicago Sky 89, Indiana Fever 87 Sky 89, Fever 87 – Williams scores 28 — including winning jumper — with 8 assists as Sky beat Fever 89-87 Courtney Williams hit the go-ahead jumper with 18.1 seconds to play and finished with a season-high 28 points with eight assists to help the Chicago Sky beat the Indiana Fever 89-87.

Emre Vatansever, named Chicago’s interim coach and general manager a day earlier, won his first game at the helm for the Sky. Vatansever took over for James Wade, who joined the coaching staff of the NBA’s Toronto Raptors. NaLyssa Smith led Indiana with 27 points, on 11-of-16 shooting, and eight rebounds. Kelsey Mitchell added a season-high 26 points. WNBA – Sky coach James Wade steps down to take assistant spot with Toronto Raptors Chicago Sky coach and general manager James Wade is stepping down to take an assistant coaching job with the Toronto Raptors. Wade helped lead the team to its first WNBA title in 2021 and had an 81-59 record with the team since taking over as head coach in 2019. Previously, he was an assistant with the San Antonio Stars and Minnesota Lynx. The Sky announced Emre Vatansever as the interim GM and head coach. NBA – Damian Lillard asks the Trail Blazers for a trade, team confirms Damian Lillard has asked the Portland Trail Blazers for a trade. Two people familiar with the matter say the request will end the seven-time All-Star’s tenure with that team. The people say Lillard is generating interest from the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets, among others. The Trail Blazers later confirmed that Lillard made the request but provided no details. He is coming off a season in which he averaged 32.2 points. Lillard is a seven-time All-NBA selection and was selected to the NBA’s 75th anniversary team. But he has never been close to a title in his 11 seasons in the league. NASCAR – Shane van Gisbergen wins his NASCAR Cup Series debut in memorable finish Shane van Gisbergen won his NASCAR Cup Series debut on a rainy Sunday in downtown Chicago, chasing down Justin Haley and Chase Elliott in a memorable finish to the series’ first street race. After passing Elliott, van Gisbergen dueled with Haley in the final laps before the three-time Supercars champion moved in front for good. Haley held on for second, and Elliott was third. The 34-year-old van Gisbergen, a New Zealand native, got a chance to drive the No. 91 Chevrolet in Chicago as part of Trackhouse Racing’s Project 91. The goal for the team is expanding its global reach. NASCAR – NASCAR contractor dies after being electrocuted at Chicago Street Race A NASCAR contractor has died after being electrocuted while setting up for the Chicago Street Race. The Cook County Medical Examiner says 53-year-old Duane Tabinski died on Friday. He was hired to install audio equipment for the race. NASCAR said it is working with police and sent condolences to Tabinksi’s family. The Chicago Street Race is the first street race in NASCAR Cup Series history and will run through the city’s downtown on Sunday evening. Tennis – Djokovic, Swiatek, Venus and Gauff get Wimbledon started on Day 1 Wimbledon gets started on Monday with some of the biggest names in tennis in action. That includes Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek, Venus Williams and Coco Gauff. It is the year’s third major tournament — and Djokovic won the first two: the Australian Open in January and the French Open in June. That puts him halfway to the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis since 1969. He came close to the feat in 2021. He fell just one victory short that season when he lost in the final of the U.S. Open. He seeks a fifth consecutive title at the All England Club and eighth overall. Both would tie the records for a man. Djokovic’s title at Roland Garros was his 23rd at a Slam event. That set the men’s mark in that category.

Hour 2- After acquiring Kristaps Porzingis from the Washington Wizards in a deal that sent Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies, and making four (!) draft night trades, it appears Brad Stevens and the Celtics aren't done making moves. Where else should the Celtics look to add? By virtue of making second-team All-NBA last season, Jaylen Brown is now eligible for a five-year, $295 million supermax extension. If the Celtics are to give Brown the full extent of the deal, it would temporarily make him the highest paid player in NBA history. How will Brad Stevens handle Jaylen Brown's super max extension? The crew discusses...  Should the Red Sox be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Today's triple play: Fill in the blank replacement Friday

The 2023 NBA free agent class isn't a particularly strong one, with just 3.5 All-NBA-level players headlining by the name of  James Harden, Draymond Green and Kyrie Irving. What we saw in the 2023 NBA Finals is signing the right role players can win you a championship. Will we see above-average starters being overpaid this summer out of desperation? Perhaps, or we could see the trade market take center stage over the offseason, which could lead to some excitement.

We are at the point of the NBA Draft where every player is great. However, the truth is the NBA is really hard and most players drafted never break an NBA rotation. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz, goes through 15 years of NBA Draft data and breaks players into MVP, All-NBA, Starters, Rotation, Partial rotation and non-impact. He breaks those down by where they were drafted and the outcomes are a bit daunting. What percentage of top 5 picks really become an all-star? What percentage of top 10 picks don't make a rotation? Is there really value to 2nd round picks? Is it true that after the 11th pick of the draft only 50% of first round picks make an NBA rotation. Plus, Locke gives some thoughts on the G-League and player development. He also takes a look at Keyonte George and Anthony Black plus Leonard Miller in the G-League game. Locked On Jazz Podcast

On today's episode, Jason and Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) kick things off by discussing the Denver Nuggets' demolition of the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray were good - not great - and Denver still cruised. This just appears to be a bad matchup for Miami, and it seems pretty clear at this point that their Cinderella run is going to end early. Later, the guys hit us with a deep dive into the uncertainty surrounding the Boston Celtics. Joe Mazzulla is coming back as the head coach, but will All-NBA swingman Jaylen Brown be joining him? J-Mac and Rob agree that the Celtics would be crazy to trade away their second best player. In fact, they argue that Boston should actually look to add another star rather than subtract one. Finally, the guys close the show with a quick discussion on the Phoenix Suns head coaching search. Why aren't candidates lining up around the block to coach Kevin Durant and Devin Booker? There's clearly more going on in the desert than the public knows about.  Click here to subscribe, rate and review all of the latest Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre podcasts! #VolumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
