Pacers Owner Could Have Sworn He Cut Tobias Harris 3 Years Ago


INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Pacers owner Kid Monotone did a double-take when passing the practice facility weight room and catching a glimpse of forward Tobias Harris doing dumbbell presses. 

"I was absolutely shocked," Monotone said in an exclusive interview with NBN Today. "I spit out my green drink and got it all over my Lacoste polo."

Despite being a regular visitor at the facility, the longtime owner said he had no idea Tobias Harris was still on his team. 

"I mean, we've dropped out of the playoffs early year after year," he lamented, exasperated. "Do you think I've been willingly paying Tobias Harris a max contract this whole time??"

According to Monotone, he made the decision to void Harris's contract back in 2021, mere months after acquiring the forward from the Kings. 

"He's an absolute scrub. You see it here, you see it in the NBA. He shouldn't sniff playing time on a team that wants to make a playoff push. I swear to God I cut that [expletive] in December 2021."

"I do stats, so I should know who's on my team," he lied.

Monotone eventually admitted that he may have believed Harris to be the "guy who cleans the showers" for the past three years.

Harris, on his part, claims to be a beloved member of the Pacers family. 

"Oh yeah, Jacob and I go way back," he gushed in a post-game interview late last season. "He's been there for me ever since he traded for me in 2021 and what's more, he looks out for my family," he added, referencing the lucrative contract extension he signed with the Pacers.

Harris has appeared in 259 games with the Pacers in the past three years and is the second-leading points scorer all-time for the franchise.

Suns Players Listen in Awe as Westbrook Shares Magical Stories

PHOENIX - A warm fire crackled in the background as the Phoenix Suns took part in one of their favorite offseason traditions: listening to Russell Westbrook tell stories of his time with the Magic.  As members of the richest family in the NBN, most Suns players had never left the expansive fields on which their Victorian mansion sat, but the elder Westbrook was adopted into the family two years ago; before that, the vet lived a humble life in a faraway land called Orlando.  The Suns sat in a tight circle around Westbrook and looked up at him, their eyes full of wonder. "Mr. Westbrook," shouted a child's voice from the back of the group. "Is it true that in Orlando they sent away the children they couldn't afford?" Westbrook's eyes darkened, his visage saddening in the flickering light of the fireplace. "Yes, Devin, that happened quite a lot," he explained as gently as he could. "I remember one child, Immanuel, who was taken down to the mar...

Federal Investigation of Marcus Smart Comes Up Emptyhanded: "He just sucks"

WASHINGTON, DC - The Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed today in a press conference that they had recently wrapped up a three-year probe into the possible involvement of Marcus Smart in an illegal betting operation. However, despite their best efforts, the agency admitted that they had found no proof that the two-way guard was fixing his stats at all. "In all honestly, we saw this as an open-and-shut case," said FBI director Kash Patel. "I'm pretty sure I could go out there and put up better numbers than 2021 Marcus Smart. I think all of us in this room could. But the only crime Marcus seems to have committed is being bad at basketball." Smart, who has played for six franchises in his NBN career, has only made the playoffs once, in 2022 as a member of the 2022 Warriors. In 2020-21, Smart averaged a putrid 38% true shooting percentage with the Celtics, before being shipped to Oklahoma City, where he went 1-18 in his 19 games and shot 28.7% from the floor. I...

"The only clue I had was this mysterious note they left." Green revealed that he found a note taped to his door, which read: "Dear Luke. U bum!!! Get cut bitch!!! Regards from K and A."  "It looks like they got the wrong house, which really sucks," explained a distraught Green. "They even slashed my tires.
