"extension math" for Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun, in terms of doing a deal in 2024 or waiting until 2025.
Long story short, it needs to benefit both sides. TBD on if it can.

Ironic. Morey's tweet wasn't about himself. It was about people in Hong Kong, who LeBron didn't even mention.

In the end, the Justin Verlander trade was the difference between the Astros making and missing the 2023 postseason.
In a race that went down to the final two days, JV in his final two starts (2-0), on the road:
