AJ Brown prefers to be traded over staying with the Eagles, per @AdamSchefter. All signs are now pointing to Brown’s exit from Philadelphia via trade post-June 1st for cap-saving purposes.

The Texans signed Wyatt Teller to a two-year deal, per @MikeGarafolo. Houston has now added Teller and Braden Smith to help fortify their offensive line.

If the NBA’s two expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle fetch a combined $15+ billion in sale value, over $500 million each would be distributed to the other 30 teams. Another salary explosion is on the horizon post-expansion.

The Broncos traded for Jaylen Waddle, per @Schultz_Report. Denver has coveted the Dolphins’ star receiver for months, which they finally got done today. Waddle and Courtland Sutton now form a lethal 1-2 punch for Bo Nix.

Kevin Durant will become an unrestricted free agent potentially for the final time in his career at the same time his first team, the Seattle SuperSonics, could return in 2028-29. Durant has the chance to go full circle and complete his NBA Hall of Fame career in Seattle.

Hawks assistant coach Ronald Nored is the top target for Butler’s new head coaching vacancy following Thad Matta’s retirement today. After playing for Butler under Brad Stevens and making two national championship games, Nored now has over a decade of NBA coaching experience.

With Justin Fields being traded to the Chiefs for a late-round pick swap, it further establishes the trade value for young backups like Anthony Richardson and Will Levis. The Colts and Titans are actively shopping both, and the most they’ll get is late Day 3 pick compensation.

The Jets are close to finalizing a trade sending Justin Fields to the Chiefs, per @RapSheet. Kansas City now has Fields as Patrick Mahomes’ backup quarterback.

Cam Boozer’s stats this season for Duke: 22.5 points 10.2 rebounds 4.2 assists 66 TS% 40.9 3PT% It’s rare to see an 18-year-old play as efficiently as Boozer does. There’s no doubting how high Boozer’s floor is, and his shooting illustrates even more untapped offensive upside.

There’s tons of buzz behind the scenes related to LeBron James’ future involvement for an NBA expansion franchise in Las Vegas. If it’s approved for 2028-29, this would allow LeBron to instantly jump from player to minority owner in Las Vegas upon potential retirement in 2027.

The NBA board of governors will vote in two weeks on whether to expand to 32 teams in 2028-29 with Las Vegas and Seattle, per @ShamsCharania. Momentum has been building behind the scenes for months, and now it’s bordering on reality soon.

The Patriots are the lone remaining team as a potential trade destination for AJ Brown, per @RapSheet. New England remains in active discussions with the Eagles on a daily basis, but a deal is now more likely to occur post-June 1 for cap-saving purposes.

Rasheer Fleming is shooting 51.4% on threes since entering the Suns’ rotation on a full-time basis last month. Standing 6’8” with a 7’5.25” wingspan, Fleming is rapidly developing under head coach Jordan Ott into a tantalizing 3-and-D player archetype.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander now has a 90% chance of repeating as NBA MVP, per @KalshiSports: SGA: 90% Nikola Jokic: 5% Victor Wembanyama: 5% SGA could join Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James as players to win back-to-back titles + MVPs.

There is now serious debate among scouts who is the No. 4 overall prospect in the 2026 NBA Draft behind AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson and Cam Boozer. Darius Acuff Jr.‘s continued emergence has some scouts beginning to place him over Caleb Wilson. A truly transformative top-five.

Darius Acuff Jr.’s stats over the past 10 games for Arkansas: 28.6 points 7.1 assists 45.2 3PT% It might be time to put Acuff right near the Tier 1 of prospects in the 2026 NBA Draft.

The Titans are shopping Will Levis in return for a Day 3 pick swap. Tennessee would clear $2 million moving off Levis, which they’re eager to do as they continue building their roster around Cam Ward. Levis was not around the team last season after deciding on shoulder surgery.

The NBA’s best records in 2026: Spurs: 24-9 Thunder: 23-10 Pistons: 23-10 Cavaliers: 21-10 Celtics: 23-11 Hornets: 23-11 San Antonio and Boston are tied for the second-best odds to win the Finals behind Oklahoma City.
