As an exasperated league continues its never-ending quest to stamp out tanking, here come the Indiana Pacers rising from the debris of mediocrity, right on cue. There is a long-held belief in the NBA that the worst place to be is stuck in the middle. Never bad enough to be in position to draft top talent, but never quite good enough to compete for championships. It's the 405 in Los Angeles and it's rush hour. The NBA has increased its efforts in recent years to abolish tanking.

BEREA, Ohio - The past and potential future were on full display Wednesday when two things seemed evident watching the Browns' organized team activity:1.

If it isn't with a contract extension involving a star player or the threat of a looming trade demand, now it's with a league determined to detonate and regenerate itself every couple of years. The collective bargaining agreement ensures it.

Can we all agree that drive thrus at coffee shops are for, you know, coffee? If you’re ordering sausage and gravy, egg sandwiches, biscuits and bacon, take your happy ass inside and stop clogging the drive thru

After eight years, we have the answer to how far Donovan Mitchell can carry a team in the postseason. If the Cavs are ever going to win a championship, Evan Mobley will have to get them there. https://t.co/cRuuDqSEyS
