Robert Parish is not holding back. The Celtics legend came out swinging after Boston sent Jaylen Brown to Philadelphia, comparing the deal to the Luka Doncic trade in terms of sheer shock value. Parish says the package the seventy-sixers returned was stunning, and he's deeply disappointed in how the franchise handled one of its cornerstone players.
Shifting coasts, the Lakers are making moves ahead of Summer League, completing a four-team trade involving the Knicks to bring in a first-year guard as their Dalton Knecht replacement. Los Angeles wasted no time locking the young player up officially, signaling the front office is serious about reshaping the roster heading into the new season.
And in San Diego, the Padres are in a rough stretch nobody saw coming. After sweeping Atlanta and grabbing that first game against Los Angeles less than a week ago, they've now dropped five straight heading into a four-game set with the rival Dodgers at Petco Park. Fernando Tatis Junior and company need answers fast before this NL West race slips further away.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
