In NBA history, one player in their entire career has had all three of: - A 25/15/15 game - A game with 40+ points on one or fewer made free throws - A game with 7+ made threes That player is Nikola Jokic, who did each of those in a different game over the last four days.

@KeithSmithNBA Happened just a couple years ago (albeit less notable) with Bol Bol / Rodney McGruder. Farther in advance prior to the deadline

@MileHighCore4 They cannot

@ApplesBBL @andy__mick Nah, I program this myself in a database.

@ErinBurr27 @Adam_Mares Byron Scott, Rik Smits and Mike Dunleavy

With tonight’s performance, Michael Porter Jr. became the first player in Nuggets franchise history to go for 30+ points and 5+ made three-pointers in three consecutive games.

@PoissonianDist @donn_l @ErinBurr27 @rxmart2 I’m confused by the argument - the Jazz are the ones that bought out Russ - the Hornets weren’t involved with Westbrook at all?

@donn_l @ErinBurr27 They still would

@dlynch_esq @CTFazio24 Yes, they’d need to get under the first apron as Schroder is making more than ~$12.8 million

Denver would need to clear $6.2M off their books to be eligible to sign Bruce (assumed signing date of 3/1). That would require moving Nnaji, or a combination of Saric + another small salary. Alternatively, I proposed a trade in my deadline preview that would get them there.

Nikola Jokic tonight: 38 PTS, 10 AST, 5 made threes Michael Porter Jr. tonight: 39 PTS, 12 REB, 5 made threes They’re the first teammates in NBA history with 5+ made threes and a 35-point double-double in the same game.

RT @OptaSTATS: Nikola Jokic enters the day with a triple-double in each of his last 7 games against the Pelicans. It’s tied for the longes…

@ErinBurr27 Kind of random but I just remembered this convo - the TPE now shows on their Spotrac page. My guess is there was originally some confusion over there (understandably) on the rules regarding previously created TPEs with the tax aprons.

@RFreemyer @jaycee9987 @NBABlackburn You’re correct that they (PHX) cannot combine salaries to make a trade work

@ErinBurr27 Appreciate it!

If you want some Nuggets angles on the Luka trade as well as the trade deadline overall - excited to chat about it here in 10 minutes!

@prmorphine It’s legal by CBA standards

@JustinIGault It really depends on the situation, I don’t think there’s a strategy that applies to every possible use of pick protections
