Kyle Goon: Patrick Beverley said he was not aware of the video of Russ in his third-quarter huddle. He said of his and Russ’ relationship: “Everything’s great. I sit on the plane, he’s right next to me. We get on the road, we hang out together.”

The Lakers and Hornets are trade partners made in heaven, if after 10-15 games the Hornets have fallen out of contention for the playoffs I know what I would do.

The Wolves have five players on expiring contracts this season: D’Angelo Russell, Naz Reid, Jaylen Nowell, Bryn Forbes and Austin Rivers
They’re all also having really good preseasons.
Still curious to see if we see any of them get the Pat Bev mid-season contract extension. – 11:49 PM

Mike Trudell: Wolves coach Chris Finch on Patrick Beverley last season: “from Day 1, he basically told a young team they were able to win and make the playoffs … the confidence he gave to guys like Karl … being a really good pro. Every day, he had a habit, a routine … the competitive fire.” -via Twitter @LakersReporter / October 12, 2022

Kyle Goon: Russ addresses the clips of last night’s game that have gotten traction online, saying in the third quarter video of the huddle, he was talking to coaches. His pregame ritual is something he’s done throughout his career: -via Twitter @kylegoon / October 13, 2022
Stephen Curry ($93.1 million), Kevin Durant ($91 million), Giannis Antetokounmpo ($86.5 million) and Russell Westbrook ($72.1 million) fill out the top five behind James. Curry has the NBA’s highest salary for the sixth straight season at $48.1 million. Milwaukee Bucks star Antetokounmpo is the only player in the top 10 under the age of 32. Los Angeles’ two clubs, Lakers and Clippers, each landed three players among the top 15 earners, although the Houston Rockets are paying 86% of John Wall’s $47.4 million salary this season after a buyout. -via Sportico / October 13, 2022
Nicole Ganglani: Anyone thinks this is awkward as well? Russ doesn’t join the pre-game team huddle and seems to be just by himself. Clip from Michael Morales/Instagram -via Twitter / October 13, 2022
