Michael Porter Jr and Cam Thomas have shared a locker room at the Brooklyn Nets for months, and the former has not held back when asked how it is possible that a scorer like Thomas is without a team. 

"There is much more to staying in the NBA than just [scoring]. For Cam, I think it was a mix of being frustrated with many things and his personality as well... He doesn't really socialize... He might say like two words all day, throughout the whole practice. He doesn't really talk to anyone. I don't think he does it in a way of trying to be a bad teammate. I just think that's how he is. But when it comes to a team that is willing to pay you and make you the first option, it comes with much more [responsibility]. I don't know if he was willing to step out of his personality and be talkative and try to be a leader and try to bring the guys together. I think that's a bit of what happened here in Brooklyn."

Everything indicates that Amen Thompson will be one of the members of the second-best defensive team of the NBA season, as it already happened last year. In fact, if he achieves it, he would become the fourth youngest player with two appearances on this elite list, only behind Kobe, Duncan, and Wembanyama.

Currently a 74% chance Amen Thompson makes the all defensive 2nd team.

If Amen Thompson makes his 2nd all NBA defensive team this year he’ll be the 4th youngest player in NBA history behind Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Wemby to make 2 All NBA defensive teams 🔥

Amazing company. https://t.co/bPEHzS88Uc pic.twitter.com/U6k9dPsDUU

There is much talk of the NBA landing in Europe for the organization of a competition similar to the traditional one, but with European franchises. However, there is a difficult obstacle to overcome, as investors want every NBA star to be able to sign with one of the new European franchises, something that the commissioner rejects. This could delay the negotiations.

The NBA’s European league they hoped to launch in 2028 could now be delayed due to internal friction over wanting to implement transfer fees like soccer, per @TheAthletic.
