The Mavericks plan to hire former NBA big man Makhtar N’Diaye as their director of pro personnel and international scouting, reports Marc J. Spears of Andscape via Twitter. N’Diaye only appeared in four games for the Grizzlies back in 1999, but he made history as the first player from Senegal to play in the NBA. N’Diaye was a scout for the Knicks for nine years, Spears notes.

The New Orleans Pelicans have had a crazy offseason up to this point. They acquired Dejounte Murray from the Atlanta Hawks and signed veteran big man Daniel Theis this summer. On the flip side, they lost Jonas Valanciunas to the Washington Wizards and sent Larry Nance Jr. and Cody Zeller to the Hawks. Furthermore, talks of the team possibly trading former All-Star Brandon Ingram were prominent for much of the year. However, at this point, a trade to move on from Ingram seems less likely. After getting swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the 2024 playoffs, the Pelicans upgraded their team and should return better than they were last season. Ultimately, the Pelicans are likely done with the bulk of their moves this summer. However, the team is still filling out their roster over a month and a half into the offseason.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Denver doesn’t look very “vibrant,” to use the mayor’s term, when bus stops are transformed into open-air drug dens. In fact, the people who smoke meth and fentanyl in homeless encampments, in front of businesses and walking down the street are tarnishing the reputation of Denver’s unhoused neighbors.
