Peja Stojakovic on De'Aaron Fox trade: Rich Paul limited Kings from a business standpoint
Matt George: Sacramento Kings legend Peja Stojakovic appeared on the NBA Out of Bounds Podcast and had a lot to say about Rich Paul & the De'Aaron Fox trade: "It seems there was a directive from his agent, Rich Paul, who played a key role and blackmailed the teams on which player was supposed to get traded where. He brought Fox to the Spurs, and Zach LaVine, who is his player, brought him to Sacramento. By doing this, he limited Sacramento from a business standpoint, stating that they get a bit more from this trade with Fox if they had the same discussion with some other teams in the NBA." pic.x.com/3ZT4CKdTqC
Nikola Jokic passes Chauncey Billups in playoff scoring
Jorge Sierra: Nikola Jokic passed one-time Finals MVP Chauncey Billups in playoff scoring last night. He's No. 45 all-time now. He also moved ahead of shooting extraordinaire Peja Stojakovic in three-pointers for No. 53. Also: Russ tied Steph in assists at No. 18.
Two former NBA All-Star forwards and sharpshooters, Reggie Miller and Peja Stojakovic, are the new members of the FIBA Hall of Fame.
Imagine a world where prime Peja Stojakovic played on the Warriors. Would he fit? “Yes,” says Bibby. “Because they play the way we used to play. Moving and stuff like that. But if you’re a shooter, you can play anywhere.”

But Stojaković especially marveled at Jokic's cerebral gifts. "There's a line -- you're as fast as you can anticipate," he said. "He anticipates situations two and three steps ahead. People don't understand; before the situation happens, he can predict it." Which means Jokic sees lanes and angles and windows before they exist. Including the regular season and playoffs, he assisted on 468 layups and dunks last season, the most by any player in the NBA, per Second Spectrum tracking.

Top-25 senior Andrej Stojakovic, the son of former NBA All-Star Peja Stojakovic, announced his commitment to Stanford on Monday. Stojakovic chose the Cardinal over Texas, UCLA and Oregon. He took multiple visits to his finalists over the course of the summer and early fall, with both Stanford and Texas making strong pushes down the stretch. A 6-foot-7 small forward out of Jesuit High School (Carmichael, California), Stojakovic is ranked No. 24 in the ESPN 100 for the 2023 class. He skyrocketed from outside the top 100 entering the spring to a borderline five-star prospect after stellar showings on the Adidas grassroots circuit for the Compton Magic program.
