Mac McClung should be forced out, only because maybe other NBA stars would no longer have to risk their pride by competing against a G-League guy. It would be safe for them. – 10:47 PM

You know what the best thing about Mac McClung is? He genuinely gives a damn about the slam dunk contest. Like he genuinely cares about it and wants to put on a show. There are not a lot of guys during NBA All-Star Weekend who give a damn about anything so it’s refreshing to see. – 10:44 PM

McClung has mastered the extra boost from pushing off the guy holding the ball. That’s why he has them hold the ball like that. He easily gets more hang time off that and he pulls off the impossible – 10:37 PM

Vinny Benedetto: Michael Malone says he believes Aaron Gordon will be able to play tonight. -via x.com / February 5, 2025
Most of Denver’s top-end contracts either cannot or will not (Jokic) be traded this week. Jamal Murray ($36 million salary) and Aaron Gordon ($22.8 million) signed long-term extensions last offseason, resulting in trade restrictions for six months. That leaves Michael Porter Jr. ($35.9 million) as the team’s most valuable asset excluding Jokic — and Michael Malone has attempted to snuff out any talk of a Porter trade. The next-most expensive player eligible to be traded, then, is Zeke Nnaji ($8.9 million), who has spent most of this season out of the rotation. -via Denver Post / February 5, 2025
