The backlash from the NBA's "soft" punishment for Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver continues. In an interview with ESPN, NBPA executive director Tamika Tremaglio has called on the league to ban Sarver for life. An investigation has found that Sarver made racist and misogynistic remarks in the workplace. "We are absolutely calling for that," Tremaglio said. "We do not want him to be in a position where he is managing and engaging with individuals or our players. We are absolutely clear from the findings in the report that we do not want him to be in that position."

Celtics owner thinks they have an overrated roster Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum at the 2022 NBA Finals The Boston Celtics are the favorites to win the Eastern Conference this season. The Celtics are also the defending Eastern Conference champions. They came up short in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. However, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck does not want to pressure his team. Grousbeck told The Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach that the Celtics' current roster is overrated but are a quality team. "I loved being right there with them," Grousbeck said. "It was thrilling. The other side of the coin is I think that we've now been overrated. I think that performance was a bit overrated in the public mind, or my own mind, because I'm the one saying it." "We're not a hands-down team to repeat as Eastern Conference champions. I think we're a quality team." The Celtics' core has remained intact this offseason. They also added Malcolm Brogdon via trade and Danilo Gallinari in free agency. However, Gallinari suffered a torn ACL while on international duty with Italy. He's out for the entire 2022-23 season.

Lillard has a contract until the 2026-27 season, with a player option in the final year. The Blazers retooled their roster around Lillard starting at last season's trade deadline. They traded CJ McCollum, Robert Covington and Norman Powell. They signed Jusuf Nurkic and Anfernee Simons to new contracts while adding Gary Payton II from free agency and Jerami Grant via trade. During a recent " The Dave Pasch Podcast," Lillard revealed that he wants to finish his career in Portland. He explained that trying his best to win a championship with the Blazers is much better than joining another team. "I'm the type of person that I'm never going to be marching to the beat of nobody else's drum," Lillard said. "I'm going to always do what I feel like is in my best interest and that I really feel in my heart. I want to win. I want to win in Portland. It would mean something to me to do it here.
