Ian Begley: Marcus Morris Sr.’s Exhibit 9 deal is obviously non guaranteed but he’s viewed by NYK as a stretch 4/5 at this point in his career, per league sources, and has a real chance to make NYK’s regular season roster.

Steve Kerr knows Boston Celtics fans will try to make his life miserable after Jayson Tatum’s limited playing time with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics. That will specifically be the case when the Warriors visit TD Garden on Nov. 6, but coach Kerr isn’t going to lose sleep over it. “I think they’re going to be all over me,” Kerr told NBA.com’s Steve Aschburner, laughing. “That’s fine.”

“Those guys were all great,” Kerr told Aschburner. “Jayson handled things so well. Then obviously it became a media subject, but he couldn’t have handled it better. Tyrese, same thing. Every game was different. And we talked about that from the first night – 12 superstars and probably only nine can play consistent minutes. They handled themselves really professionally and pulled for each other. I couldn’t be prouder of them all.”

Mike James: Just because your dream is to play in the NBA doesn’t mean you’re better than players in EuroLeague or ACB. Getting cooked by a non EuroLeague team after talking like that is hilarious

“Our dream is not play f*cking ACB, f*cking EuroLeague… we aim to be in the NBA and make millions”

Sam Dekker: Good ole fashioned ass-whooping. Overseas hoops a different animal my guy. There’s a reason G-League is all 18-22 year-olds. It’s not good hoop and it’s all kids.

Best friend and former Raptors running mate Kyle Lowry has repeatedly made it known he wants to retire a Raptor, even in some ceremonial manner. DeMar DeRozan isn’t thinking about retirement quite yet, but he can see Lowry’s point. “You definitely want to go out in a poetic way, especially where it all started,” he said. “If I had the opportunity to do something like that, you can’t turn something like that down, to put on that jersey for the last time, because it was the first jersey you put on.”

What Toronto also gave DeRozan was the strength to delve into an issue much more important than basketball. Because of his comfort level here, he was able and willing to openly discuss his battle with depression and overall mental health. A late-night tweet in 2018 — “this depression get the best of me” — and his willingness to discuss it thrust DeRozan deeper into the spotlight and was the impetus for the larger book project. He had an important message to deliver. The response was immediate, mixed with personal pride and dread. “In a sense it (was) 50/50,” he said. “I never wanted to inconvenience anyone with my issues; anybody who knows me knows I’m that type of person.”
