## Resource

We dug into our hot takes and yours — on Michigan State basketball, the addition of center Anton Bonke, whether that's enough to make the roster a contender, the loss of Divine Ugochukwu, on MSU football's best-case scenario, the scuffling Pistons and Jalen Duren, the Lions' draft, parenting and more.
