The terms of the deal are incredibly favorable for Los Angeles. Along with locking the 25-year-old in for two more years, the Lakers also increased his trade value in the process. General manager Rob Pelinka scored yet another great deal for his franchise.

data-mm-id=”_9e6aid0qs”>ESPN bumped Mad Dog Wednesday to Mad Dog Tuesday this week to capitalize on increased viewership following the Denver Nuggets' championship-winning Game 5 victory last night. Chris Russo immediately delivered for everybody tuning in, saying the Nuggets are a great team but not an all-time great team and the '86 Celtics would mop the floor with them. Yes. The stereotypical old head said the most stereotypical old head thing possible, even if it was a bit tongue-in-cheek. JJ Redick's reaction sums it up neatly. .@MadDogUnleashed says this is NOT an all-time great Nuggets team 👀"The '86 Celtics would beat this team in four games. … This is a good team. This is not an all-time team. But Jokic is an all-time player." pic.twitt…

data-mm-id=”_r3tcppia2″>Usually when Donald Trump is at a podium something crazy happens. It's the default setting for that visual. But, weirdly, on Sunday, the former president came to an incredibly sensible conclusion, though the route to get there sure was something. During a speech in Ottumwa, Iowa, Trump claimed he would rather be electrocuted than eaten by a shark. I'm glad he announced that, because the country had been on the edge of its collective seat for years waiting for his verdict on this incredibly important dilemma.

data-mm-id=”_7fh0vkvaq”>First Take is a free-flowing conversation that occasionally touches on mature themes, like which president's wife Molly Qerim looks like. If you understand that going in, there's no problem. But if you're not prepared then it can get a bit weird. Marcus Spears, Stephen A. Smith and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo (who retired last month) debated this issue minutes ago with Qerim sitting there listening and you could feel the electricity in the air. Smith, because he's the best at talking about literally anything, dove deep into the issue with a seriousness usually reserved for Strip Weathers' Piston Cups. "You look like a president's wife."Which president… pic.twitter.com/6EQbP5qLUs— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing)…

data-mm-id=”_fr52hsl2o”>We're coming up on the four year anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is the perfect time for Congress to have a hearing on Vaccine Safety. Georgia's Marjorie Taylor Greene was in attendance to give voice to the anti-vax crowd and she revealed that she's not a doctor, but she does have a "PHD in recognizing bullshit when I hear it," in response to an FDA expert saying that COVID vaccines had conservatively saved 14 million lives worldwide.
