Hello, I just want to let you know that Dwight Howard was just traded on June 20, 2018 to the Brooklyn Nets. He was traded in exchange for Timofey Mozgov, the 45th pick of the 2018 NBA Draft, and a 2021 second round pick. This is some new information that can be added, so there really isn't anything to change. You could also change the heading "Charlotte Hornets (2017-present)" to (2017-2018). You could also create a new heading with the previous info, Brooklyn Nets (2018-present).

Given that consensus is not to add BIG3 teams to the infobox, could you remove them from Module:Basketball color/data? This might discourage folks from adding these teams as the primary affiliation. I also have questions about if we need defunct NBA, G League, WNBA, etc. teams in there as well since for retired players Consensus is to keep the default gray box. I’d do it, but the template is protected. Thanks Rikster2 ( talk) 21:34, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

I followed the same format as the one used on the Wilt Chamberlain page where NBA records were denoted near the bottom of the page.
Either remove them under Wilt's page or restore it under Kareem's. it makes no sense— Preceding unsigned comment added by Drdrepepper ( talk • contribs)
Some items for which there has been consensus to exclude from the infobox include: ... NBA career statistical leaders. Regarding Chamberlain, " other stuff exists" is not always a valid argument. I will remove them from both as you suggested.— Bagumba ( talk) 17:18, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Shamus248 here, I do not yet know how to "sign" messages, please forgive me. Thank you for reaching out regarding an edit I made to Los Angeles Lakers that you felt wasn't neutral. I referred to a short term of their history as the "Baby Lakers" only because it is a term often used in this context, which is why I included it.

Hi! We don't know each other but i need an advice/help from a neutral POV. I edited the page Bimbo adding this: [2]. Substantially, I simply explained the meaning of the italian word from which the US slang comes in order to contexualise it (it means "child") and i explained how it has became an insult in american english. Most of the infos were already in the article, but i thought some of them, better explained, should be in the lead. User:Flyer22 Reborn started an edit war ( [3]), deleting without explanation the passage ( [4]), deleting it a second time even when i pointed out that what i inserted was mostly already sourced/present in the article ( [5]) and even deleting it against the rules a third time ( [6]). What he argued (as you may read in the links) is fairly inconsistent. He invited me (as you can see in the links) to "talk" about it. Yet he deleted twice my messages to his talk page ( [7] and [8]) and refused to answer to me, shutting down any possibility of collaborating in finding a common version of the passage. Now, to me this is a very distruptive behaviour: firstly he deleted a correct passage committing what i see as a vandalism, then when he was reverted he started inconsinstently referring to WP:Undue (which is ironic considering these infos are mostly already in the article, just not in the lead of it), then he asked to talk before any new edit and yet he refused to answer and deleted my messages to him, in a rude way, unecessarly calling my messages to him a "mess". Trusting your judgement as a sysop, i'll thank you if you could give a neutral POV on the situation for the better of the article, as any effort to find a common ground has been met with an unreasonable refuse to talk at all.

hey, I just thought it would be better to have the Lakers in the Creation and merger because in 1946-1956 the Lakers was the first dynasty and dominance in the league they won 5 titles, so shouldn't they be in it like the Celtics is on their in the league expansion and competition 1956-1979? Or should the Lakers be on the Surging popularity (1979–1998)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller ( talk • contribs) 06:05, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
Ok, well let's make it so we can put it on there — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller ( talk • contribs) 13:59, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
Shouldn't the 5 titles be enough to just put Lakers on the 1946-1956? How come the Celtics is on their from 1956-1979 but the Lakers can't? The Lakers are the NBA's most famous and successful franchises, most record wins, most finals appearances, all around best franchise in NBA — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller ( talk • contribs) 14:19, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
I don't think this should be called Celtics dominance when back then in the 1960s the league was established with lower competition and a lot less teams. Lakers have been always more consistent good throughout the eras of NBA history.— Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller ( talk • contribs)

Why do you think we need to purge Wikipedia of all JBA players not named Ball. I know you are going to say I don’t think Lyle meets GNG blah blah but he is more notable than other players recently nominated for deletion. He was the c-USA sixth man of the year and is currently going to Europe where he will probably play next year, or maybe this year.

On 26 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2019 United States FIBA Basketball World Cup team, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after FIBA rules changes limited the availability of NBA players, the US men's basketball team decided to assemble rosters of primarily G Leaguers for the 2019 World Cup qualifiers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2019 United States FIBA Basketball World Cup team. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, 2019 United States FIBA Basketball World Cup team), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

hey, I just thought it would be better to have the Lakers in the Creation and merger because in 1946-1956 the Lakers was the first dynasty and dominance in the league they won 5 titles, so shouldn't they be in it like the Celtics is on their in the league expansion and competition 1956-1979? Or should the Lakers be on the Surging popularity (1979–1998)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller ( talk • contribs) 06:05, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
Ok, well let's make it so we can put it on there — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller ( talk • contribs) 13:59, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
Shouldn't the 5 titles be enough to just put Lakers on the 1946-1956? How come the Celtics is on their from 1956-1979 but the Lakers can't? The Lakers are the NBA's most famous and successful franchises, most record wins, most finals appearances, all around best franchise in NBA — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller ( talk • contribs) 14:19, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
I don't think this should be called Celtics dominance when back then in the 1960s the league was established with lower competition and a lot less teams. Lakers have been always more consistent good throughout the eras of NBA history.— Preceding unsigned comment added by The Speller ( talk • contribs)

.Please reference the goal(s). I've searched numerous times, and have yet to find the end-goal stated.

I had just looked up 'earnt', which put me onto 'spelt', which I had always thought was spelled 'spellt'. Ah well, spelling is more about what you can stomach than what you can see. :) Shenme ( talk) 02:12, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
Why do you think we need to purge Wikipedia of all JBA players not named Ball. I know you are going to say I don’t think Lyle meets GNG blah blah but he is more notable than other players recently nominated for deletion. He was the c-USA sixth man of the year and is currently going to Europe where he will probably play next year, or maybe this year. The San Antonio sources should not be discredited since there are multiple authors and it is one of the largest cities in the USA. ~ EDDY ( talk/ contribs)~ 20:17, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Hey man. I'm sorry for adding unsourced content to Tyler Ulis. It won't happen again. Since I play for the Warriors, I get excited when a new teammate joins the team! WarriorsFan30112335 ( talk) 19:21, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
