New York Post5 days ago

Jordyn Woods reflected Sunday on how the city of New York welcomed her and Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns with open arms after the team's crushing playoff ouster to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Hours after Saturday's season-ending loss, the 27-year-old model gushed over the team in an Instagram tribute, saying they 'brought so much life to the city' as Towns' first year in New York came to a heartbreaking end.
'If there was anything to take away from this season, the take away should be is that the future is bright for this team and they should be damn proud of themselves,' Woods wrote, including snapshots of Towns throughout the season. 'You guys brought so much life to the city and this has been some of the most exciting basketball I've ever watched.
'Thank you New York for welcoming us with open arms! The Libra in me loves a theme and I had too much fun putting these looks together, more to come🧡💙.'
Towns, 29, finished Saturday's game with 22 points and 14 assists.

Blockbuster 3-Team NBA Trade Idea Sends Celtics' Jrue Holiday to Mavericks

Blockbuster 3-Team NBA Trade Idea Sends Celtics' Jrue Holiday to Mavericks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Mavericks need to acquire a point guard this offseason since Kyrie Irving will miss a chunk of next season recovering from his left ACL tear. Advertisement With that said, Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report proposed a three-team trade idea between the Mavericks, Celtics and Brooklyn Nets that sends Jrue Holiday from Boston to Dallas. According to Marc Stein of The Stein Line, the Mavericks are interested in acquiring Holiday, who will make $32.4 million next season. The Celtics may break up their core this offseason since they will have the most expensive roster in the NBA next season and Jayson Tatum may not play at all in 2025-26 due to his right Achilles tendon tear. Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday© Stephen Lew-Imagn Images A two-time NBA champion, Holiday averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists in the 2024-25 regular season and 10.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists in the 2025 playoffs in seven games against the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks. Advertisement "Holiday is a capable starting point guard," Pincus wrote. "He's not as dynamic as Irving offensively, but he is among the best defenders of his generation. Holiday is also one of the most respected people in the league (winning both the NBA's sportsman and teammate of the year awards this season)." Holiday and Mavericks big man Anthony Davis were teammates on the New Orleans Pelicans. The two All-Stars appeared in 310 games together. Holiday has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Pelicans, Milwaukee Bucks and Celtics. The UCLA product has career averages of 15.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists. The Mavericks missed the playoffs this year after making the NBA Finals last year. They shockingly traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in February.
