Nets' Drew Timme selected to 2024-25 All-NBA G League second team
The Brooklyn Nets are coming off a 2024-25 NBA season in which they experienced a lot of losing on their way to the first offseason of their rebuild in which they'll be able to mold their team for the future. One of the players who benefitted from the rebuild, center Drew Timme, continues to receive rewards for his performance during the season that he had in Long Island.
The NBA announced on Thursday that Timme made the All-NBA G League Second Team after being one of the best players in the G League for the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn's G League afiliate. Timme joins the second team along with Mason Jones of the Stockton Kings, Elijah Harkless of the Salt Lake City Stars, Bryce McGowens of the Rip City Remix, and Moses Brown of the Westchester Knicks.
Timme played 29 games in Long Island during the season and he averaged 23.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game while shooting 57.4% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range. Timme played so well during his stint in the G League that he not only won NBA G League Player Of The Week, but he also parlayed that into a multi-year contract with the Nets shortly afterwards.
Since coming to Brooklyn, Timme assumed a role as one of the backup centers on the team behind starter Nic Claxton and usual backup Day'Ron Sharpe. However, due to a combination of a right knee injury to Sharpe and Brooklyn giving Claxton rest to see what Timme looked like at the next level, the former Gonzaga Bulldog was able to play 28.2 minutes per game down the stretch of the season.
Timme, 24, averaged 12.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 44.1% from the floor and 25.7% from deep. Timme has a team option for next season worth $1.9 million and whether the Nets decide to accept that option will depend on what the team is able to accomplish in the offseason along with if they see a future with Timme. Either way, Timme can walk away from the 2024-25 season having earned plenty of accolades for his play.

Celtics-Mavericks Trade Report Surfaces After Cooper Flagg News
Celtics-Mavericks Trade Report Surfaces After Cooper Flagg News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Celtics recently made headlines when it was reported by Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo Sports that Duke star Cooper Flagg had a pre-draft interview with them. Widely projected to go No. 1 overall to the Dallas Mavericks, Flagg is not expected to be available when Boston picks at No. 28 in the 2025 NBA Draft. Advertisement Because of this, fans began speculating the Celtics could be eyeing a potential blockbuster trade with Dallas for the No. 1 overall pick. Shutting down this speculation last month, Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens confirmed the team met with Flagg, but said trading up for him is not possible (via Zack Cox of Boston Herald). NBA Draft prospect Cooper FlaggDavid Banks-Imagn Images Just weeks after this news that Boston did indeed meet with Flagg, but will not be swinging a deal for him, a new Celtics-Mavericks trade report has surfaced. According to Jay King of The Athletic, Boston and Dallas could very well be trade partners this summer, just not for Flagg. "The Mavericks could make sense as a trade partner for Boston (more on that soon), but not for the top pick," King wrote on Thursday. Advertisement As far as the type of deal these two teams could make, King highlighted All-Defensive guard Jrue Holiday. "With Flagg set to join Anthony Davis in a deep frontcourt, the Mavericks have a chance to field a special defense," he wrote. "Adding Holiday would only turn that group into more of a problem for opponents. Good luck scoring on him with Davis and Flagg behind him." King added, "Making the trade partner an even more logical fit, the Mavericks have a surplus in the frontcourt with Daniel Gafford, Dereck Lively and P.J. Washington competing for minutes, plus some young players such as Max Christie who could appeal to Boston."

WATCH: Ohio State fan Denny Hamlin throws up O-H after winning NASCAR race in Michigan
Denny Hamlin is an elite NASCAR driver and outspoken Ohio State Buckeyes fan. There are plenty of rumors on the internet and comments in media about why and how his Buckeye fandom started, but it got far more intense this season. After winning his first race of the year this seaon back in March, he waved an "11 Against the World" flag (his car is No.11). Hamlin certainly outdid himself this race, though. He made a late pass for the lead and held on to win his third race of the season (and 57th overall career win) at Michigan International Speedway, in Brooklyn, MI (about 40 miles from the Ohio border). He then threw up an O-H to the stands twice after getting out of his car to celebrate the win. Fans were still cheering, but that moment got some predictable boos. All in all, NASCAR fans still love him, but Buckeye fans will probably love him even more for now. This is not the first time Hamlin has good-naturedly angered crowds when he travels to races. He recently threw a "Horns Down" sign before his race in Michigan a month ago. He finished that race 38th.

Mavericks Closing In on Cooper Flagg for No 1 Draft Pick
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With the 2024-25 NBA season coming to a close, soon all eyes will be on the offseason. This offseason is expected to be one for the books, and the first big event on the calendar will be the 2025 NBA Draft. The draft, which will take place in late June, is one worth watching, and it will feature one of the best prospects of the last decade, Duke superstar phenom Cooper Flagg. Flagg is on track to be the top selection in this year's draft, and all indications suggest the Mavericks will use their No. 1 pick on him later this month. Sources tell ESPN that the Mavericks will host Flagg for a workout in mid-June. Nico Harrison of the Dallas Mavericks watches warmups before the game against the San Antonio Spurs at American Airlines Center on April 10, 2022 in Dallas, Texas.

Photo byESPN's Shams Charania and Jonathan Givony shared how the Mavericks will work out Flagg, and they have no intention of working out any other prospects. "The Mavericks have no plans to work out any other prospects for the No. 1 pick and have made clear publicly and privately that they plan on selecting Flagg when Adam Silver puts them on the clock to open the 2025 NBA Draft." Dallas made it clear from the jump that they had no plans to move the No. 1 pick after landing it in the draft lottery. That stance hasn't changed — and the fact that they're reportedly not entertaining any other prospect speaks volumes about how highly they view Flagg. Flagg is fresh off a legendary freshman campaign at Duke — one that's already being talked about as one of the greatest ever by a college player. His accolades tell the story: AP Player of the Year, consensus First-Team All-American, Lute Olson Award winner, Julius Erving Award winner, Wayman Tisdale Award winner, ACC Player of the Year, First-Team All-ACC, ACC Rookie of the Year, ACC All-Defensive Team, and ACC All-Freshman Team. The Mavericks have had a roller coaster of a season. They start the season a bit shaky, and then they make what most call a boneheaded move by trading their superstar, Luka Doncic, to the Lakers. After that, they endure a stretch of injuries unlike any other, and they end the season with the No. 1 pick. Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison has endured a ton of criticism, and he deserves it; however, that could all change in the coming months with how he builds this team for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
