Channing Frye on Luka: "I just don’t think the way he plays basketball is going to win a championship. I think Luka is a lot like James Harden. Both of those guys are amazing but their usage rate is not equating to championships. Who played like that and showed they can win a championship?"

The Charlotte Hornets have the worst offense in the NBA, by far
The Hornets have opened the season with the worst offensive rating at 99.2, with a clear separation from the 2nd worst team. Not having Kon start the season has basically wrecked them, but the team is also having a terrible time adjusting without Lamelo and Bridges.

Front Office Sports Josh Kushner and Bob Iger have been offering Lakers minority stakes to investors starting at $250 million apiece as they build out their ownership group
> Josh Kushner and Bob Iger have been offering Lakers minority stakes to investors starting at $250 million apiece as they build out their ownership group, Front Office Sports has learned.
> The duo, which agreed to buy the Lakers from embattled billionaire Mark Walter over the summer at a record $12.5 billion valuation, have been working to sell minority stakes for between $250 million and $300 million each, four sources familiar with the matter tell FOS. That is just the starting point, and there will be minority investors who put significantly higher amounts into the deal, two sources say.
> The news comes as Bill Simmons said on his podcast Thursday that Kushner is still $5 billion to $6 billion short on capital for the acquisition, that he “can’t find the money,” and that Iger is only putting in “like $63 million.”
> The idea that Kushner is having trouble raising money for the deal is not true, one source tells FOS. There has been massive demand to get in on the Lakers deal, according to two sources, although it’s not clear who has expressed interest in buying in. The transaction could be completed within the next few months, one source says. Once the deal closes, Kushner will be the majority owner, while Iger will be a minority owner and will oversee day-to-day operations of the team, the same source says.
> It has become commonplace for NBA team buyers to reach an agreement and then fill out their roster of limited partners. The Celtics, for example, unveiled a group of minority investors a few months after Bill Chisholm’s $6.1 billion purchase of the team was announced. The number of minority investors in NBA teams, including private equity firms, has grown in recent years, in part because valuations are soaring.
> The NBA recently revised its private equity rules to allow a firm and its executives to invest at the same time, a change that was made in part to allow for Kushner’s investment firm Thrive Eternal to invest alongside him in the Lakers deal.

Embiid on NBA Cup: "I never really cared. To me, at the end of the day, you've still got to win a basketball game. But I'm going broke, so I need some money. So I've got to make a speech to the guys, and get them going. I need a little bit of money. Yeah, it's not looking good right now for me."
> In all three seasons of the NBA Cup's existence, the Sixers have failed to advance past Group Play and into the Knockout Rounds. Nurse, a veteran of many similar tournaments overseas in his coaching career, would like to capitalize on this opportunity – though he said he would not consider giving any of his key players larger-than-usual workloads for the sake of notching an NBA Cup victory.

Reminder that because he skipped a year of high-school, Cooper Flagg is still only 19. The same age as Cam Boozer and Darius Acuff, younger than Caleb Wilson. He doesn’t turn 20 until the very end of this year.
Even after last year’s incredible rookie run that included two 50-point games, Flagg has been even better so far this year.
He is playing at an all-star level this year and had another incredible game last night. He has obviously cemented himself as one of the very best teenagers ever to play in the NBA.

Edit: Actually 33 PTS, 9 REB, 6 AST, whoops. My eyes accidentally started reading Kyrie's statline halfway through, I'm on like four hours of sleep I'm sorry.
Averaging 25/5/7 so far this season. All-NBA?

Los Angeles Lakers owner Mark Walter and Thrive Capital founder Josh Kushner have agreed on all outstanding terms of the sale of the Lakers at a $12.5 billion valuation, sources close to the negotiations told ESPN.
The two men met in person Thursday at Walter’s home in Florida to finalize the transaction and are expected to sign the formal agreement soon, those sources said.
Once the agreement is signed, it will be reviewed by the NBA. That process generally takes some time as the league reviews financing and ownership structure. Sources close to the negotiations said that Kushner has assured Walter he’s raised all the money necessary to complete the sale.
