Here is my final 2026 NBA Mock Draft: Opinions and predictions have changed throughout the last few days, weeks and months. Let me know your thoughts and if you’d change anything! #Nba #nbadraft #basketball

The Orlando Magic have waived, Jonathan Isaac, one of the best could of been players on the defensive end of the court. The 6th overall pick in the 2017 draft, the Orlando Magic thought they had selected a superstar defensive player to help their current roster. But after multiple injuries throughout the years, the question now is what could have been, rather than what was. #Magic #Isaac #NBA

@bballforever_ One of the greatest ‘could have been’ players when it comes to the defensive end ever

BREAKING: The Orlando Magic waived Jonathan Isaac. The former sixth overall pick of the 2017 NBA Draft averaged 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in seven seasons with the Magic.

@esidery @JakeLFischer Nooooo

The Magic waived Jonathan Isaac, per @JakeLFischer. Chronic injury issues have plagued Isaac, but a potential buy-low wing/big option on the veteran’s minimum hits free agency.

@PolymarketHoops @FirstTake Bron Giannis and Ban is unbelievable

Stephen A. Smith believes LeBron James should return to Miami 👀 "If he called Pat Riley, and said ‘listen, I want to come back and join Giannis and Bam, you think Riley will tell him no? He ain’t gonna tell him no." (via @FirstTake)

@APH00PS @JakeLFischer @TheSteinLine I think Brooklyn and Chicago should also make a play to acquire Peyton Watson

The Los Angeles Clippers are weighing the possibility of pursuing Peyton Watson if they choose to operate as a cap-room team this Summer, per @JakeLFischer and @TheSteinLine. (via open.substack.com/pub/marcstein/…)

@rileyj0914 @ShamsCharania No mate is total earnings with the team overall since being there

@AMBHoops1 @ShamsCharania He was under contract for 2 more years anyway?

Just in: Oklahoma City's Isaiah Hartenstein intends to sign a new three-year contract to return to the Thunder through 2028-29 that brings his total earnings with the franchise at five years and $134 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN. A key signing in 2024 leading to the 2025 championship, Thunder lock in the defensive anchor.

@pickasidepod Ant and Melo are a lot more entertaining on paper

Who’s the better backcourt 👀

@WadexFlash The floor spacing would be such an issue

Sports Illustrated’s trade idea that sends Ja Morant to the Miami Heat this summer: Miami receives: Ja Morant, a first-round pick (lottery-protected) and two second-round picks Memphis receives: Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic Heat fans, would you do this deal?

@LegionHoops @BrettSiegelNBA Steph, Podz, Bron, Lendeborg, Porzingis Melton, Horford, Green, Santos With Butler and Moody out for most of the year, I still like this squad

Warriors believe they’re the front-runners to land LeBron James if he leaves the Lakers, per @BrettSiegelNBA.

@LegionHoops @BrettSiegelNBA I think that is such a downgrade from Robinson

REPORT: Nick Richards and Kevon Looney have been linked to the Knicks as a potential Mitchell Robinson replacement, per @BrettSiegelNBA.

@SleeperCleCavs @JakeLFischer Lebron going to join Curry or Giannis?

REPORT: The belief around the NBA is that LeBron James is reportedly more likely than not to leave the Lakers, per @JakeLFischer 👀

@Sleeper_Hoops @JakeLFischer @SleeperKnicks @SleeperLakers This would be great for the lakers

Mitchell Robinson has been connected to the Lakers, per @JakeLFischer

@CookedbyRiley Take the chance on him I say, his value is literally cash considerations 😭

The Celtics need a Point Guard

@esidery Was close with this mock

A potential trade framework between the Celtics and Trail Blazers featuring Jaylen Brown: Boston: Donovan Clingan, Scoot Henderson, Jerami Grant, 2028 1st (via Magic), 2030 swap (via Bucks), 2031 1st Portland: Brown

@Fullcourtpass @espn @TheHoopsAlerts Can’t forget about trading Middleton either

The two crucial decisions that initiated Giannis Antetokounmpo’s downfall with the Bucks, per @espn — Firing Mike Budenholzer — Trading Jrue Holiday (h/t @TheHoopsAlerts)

@PolymarketHoops @espn Can’t forget about Middleton either

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s downfall with the Bucks was initiated by two crucial decisions, per @espn. - Firing Mike Budenholzer - Trading Jrue Holiday 😬😬😬

@TheHoopsAlerts @BannedMacMahon A year ago, Naz Reid would of been untouchable

People around the league almost unanimously believe that the Hornets won the LaMelo Ball trade "LaMelo Ball had next to no value a year ago. ... As soon as he had value, [they] pounced on the opportunity to move him." (via @BannedMacMahon)

@ShamsCharania Great deal for Jose, solid work from the Knicks

New York guard Jose Alvarado is declining his $4.5 million player option and intends to sign a new three-year, $14-plus million deal to return to the Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Knicks made it a priority to retain the NY native who played key role on a historic championship team.

@ori_riddleman @ShamsCharania I understand that, I can’t see a world where they wouldn’t have to give up a Clingan esc player unfortunately, I like the Murphy fit tho

@AMBHoops1 @ShamsCharania portland should say no. as amazing as brown is, he's not the perfect fit for portland. also clingan is a lot of pain on top of first 3rd picks. blazers really need a PF more than a SG, i can see portland do it for 3 first + jrue/scoot/sharpe, not clingan. maybe trey muphy

Per @ShamsCharania, The Portland Trail-Blazers have ‘significant interest’ in Jaylen Brown. This trade sees Portland acquire Brown in exchange for Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson, Donovan Clingan and 3 First Round Picks. The Celtics have said to be competitive, Brown needs to leave. Portland gets a superstar to play alongside Deni Avdija and a returning Damian Lillard to try and make another run for the playoffs. The Celtics add depth in getting back Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson can develop in Boston (hopefully into the player we all expected coming out of college) and Clingan most likely would be the piece to get the deal done, becoming the Celtics franchise Center. Who says no? #Celtics #Blazers #NBA
