NBA／提前放暑假養馬去？約柯奇：這幾天會喝很多啤酒
儘管以敗仗收尾，約柯奇在2024-25年賽季仍繳出超越MVP水準的驚人表現，首次在例行賽打出平均大三元數據，場均可拿下29.6分12.7籃板10.2助攻。不過這樣的生涯新高表現恐怕還是無法讓他再拿一次年度MVP，本季MVP預測呼聲最高的依然是雷霆當家球星亞歷山大（Shai Gilgeous-Alexander）。
談到季後賽提前淘汰出局，約柯奇並未多談細節，而是笑說自己目前只想要放鬆一下，「我們再看看接下來的安排，但這幾天，會喝很多啤酒，應該是這樣。」
約柯奇也很可能將抽空與他熱愛的馬匹相處，他在過去多次提到賽馬是自己放鬆的最大樂趣之一。

How The Miami Heat Made A Huge Mistake In Recent Trade
The months of August and September are typically considered the dog days of the NBA news cycle. However, that does not mean teams are not still working to position themselves for the present and future. Such is the case with the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets, who, on Friday, orchestrated a trade to send Haywood Highsmith and a 2032 second round pick to Brooklyn for a heavily protected 2026 second round pick. This move made perfect sense for the Nets – a team that is trying to accumulate draft capital while also reaching their salary floor (90% of the salary cap, 139.2 million). That is not my problem with this transaction. My issue lies with the Heat, who essentially traded away a fine rotation player for pennies on the dollar. Haywood Highsmith Is A Solid Two-Way Player Highsmith represents yet another example of the Heat identifying an overlooked talent from a small school (Highsmith went undrafted out of Wheeling University) and nurturing them into a sound rotational option. For the last three years, Highsmith has been one of the best wing defenders in the association. He's placed in the 84th percentile or higher in Defensive Estimated Plus-Minus (arguably the best one-number metric on the market) in each of the last three seasons (per Dunks & Threes). Highsmith is a pitbull with pterodactyl wings for arms. Armed with 220 pounds of muscle and a 6'11.5 wingspan, Highsmith can shadow box with the best scorers in the association while also creating havoc in the passing lanes (82nd percentile steal rate in 2023-24) and offering complementary secondary rim protection (74th percentile block rate among forwards, per Cleaning the Glass). What has always slowed Highsmith down is his offensive game. Even the most ardent supporter of his work would say that he's a below-average offensive player (34th percentile Offensive Estimated Plus-Minus). However, he's taken strides to become more serviceable on that end of the floor. After never eclipsing the 34% from three in his first three seasons in the NBA, Highsmith has hit 38.8% of his 425 threes. He's also a solid cutter, which leads to assisted finishes at the rim or second chances for his team via offensive rebounds. All this is to say that Highsmith is a useful role player. The kind that playoff teams like to keep on their bench for spot minutes in important games. After adding Norman Powell for virtually nothing, the Heat have a pretty good roster on their hands. And in a diminished Eastern Conference (one that is missing Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton, and Damian Lillard), they have a chance at winning a playoff series if they get the right matchup. Giving up a quality bench player does not help this cause. Yes, they have Andrew Wiggins and Simone Fontecchio to fill his void. But Wiggins has missed 80 games over the last three years, and both of them will have to spend time at power forward due to so many of Miami's best players being guards (Tyler Herro, Davion Mitchell, Powell, and, maybe, Terry Rozier). That leaves a mini-sized hole at small forward. Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could remedy these concerns, but they are both young and not as proven in playoff situations as Highsmith. Plus, neither of them boasts his physicality/reputation on the defensive side of the ball. I understand the need to get under the first apron and avoid paying any sort of repeater tax. But the Heat had until the trade deadline to shed salary, and there were other methods for doing so (like not retaining Dru Smith). Even with Highsmith's recent injury (he is expected to miss 8-10 weeks), he still has a positive value contract (he's set to make 5.6 million next season, but his estimated production value is a little over 11 million). But instead of getting a second round pick for Highsmith, the Heat gave one up for a pick that is highly unlikely to convey (unless the Nets somehow miraculously finish the season with a top five record. I've really loved what the Heat have done so far this offseason (trading for Powell, re-signing Davion Mitchell, and drafting Kasparas Jakucionis), but this is one cost-cutting move I just can't get behind.

When will former Thunder Dillon Jones receive his NBA championship ring?
As is tradition, Opening Night will be about the Oklahoma City Thunder. The NBA champions will kick off the 2025-26 regular season when they host the Houston Rockets. The pregame ceremony will be as intriguing to watch as the game itself. They will drop their title banner and be handed their ring. Once the festivities are over, the Thunder will start their championship reign. They're a popular pick to repeat as champions. They sit at the mountaintop knowing they're going to get the best shot of the other 29 teams in the league. Before they fully move on from their 2025 NBA Finals win, though, they have one small afterparty left to celebrate one of the greatest teams in league history. One of the reasons why the Thunder are viewed as the consensus favorite is their continuity. Besides some bottom of the depth chart changes, the Thunder will run it back with the same roster. Because of that, there will be at least one more pregame ring ceremony after Opening Night. Dillon Jones will return to OKC early in the season. The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Washington Wizards on Thursday, Oct. 30. It should be a mundane blowout as both teams are on opposite sides of the NBA highway. Before that happens, though, Jones will receive his championship ring. The Thunder traded Jones in a salary dump deal. The 23-year-old had a forgettable rookie season that turned out to be his only year in OKC. He won an NBA championship out of it and now hopes to get rotation minutes in a rebuild situation. It'll be fun to see Jones receive his championship ring. He's the only player who left the Thunder's standard roster. Everybody else will be back next season as they hope to get another NBA championship.

Why did Giannis Antetokounmpo slap Greece national teammate in viral video?
EuroBasket 2025 doesn't begin until Aug. 27, and the Greece national team doesn't debut until the following day, but Giannis Antetokounmpo already has Hellas going viral a week early for something that happened in a huddle. Teams are practicing and playing exhibitions in preparation for the tournament, and during one such session for Greece, Antetokounmpo slapped teammate Giannoulis Larentzakis across the back of the head in a video shared Saturday on X. The cause of the slap hasn't been confirmed, which has only caused people to speculate on the seriousness of the situation. But what's clear is Antetokounmpo really put some oomph into this swing. Why did Giannis slap him? Again, there hasn't been any comment from the Greece side of things, so who knows? But if you want a couple totally not made up possibilities: Was Giannis being serious? As hard as the slap appeared to be, it's possible Giannis wasn't slapping Larentzakis with ill-intent. In fact, one former NBA player and Larentzakis' EuroLeague teammate, Evan Fournier, already made light of the situation in a tweet. The Eurohoops X account noted that Larentzakis and Antetokounmpo grew up and went to high school together and remain close friends. A fan account posted another angle of the slap and the aftermath of the huddle, and everything at least appeared fine as players walked to the bench. That's all we know for now. It was certainly a hard slap. It may or may not have been that serious.
