I'm thrilled to be back in the game and playing for the champs. @espn @ESPNNBA

I covered Jason Kidd when he played for the Nets. I know one of his childhood friends. I've been to his house, met his kids, then-wife, and Pilates Instructor. And I have insight from many people who worked with him in his coaching years. This is a great firing.

My biggest criticism of Dundon from the beginning, which he admitted to on the podcast the other day, is that he does not get the ways in which the NBA doesn't work like the NHL and the things you have to pay for there. Today is certainly an example of that.

Big ESPN mock draft update today with the latest coming out of combine week and a big month ahead: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

Former St. John's star RJ Luis, the 2025 Big East Player of the Year, has committed to LSU, sources told ESPN. Luis declared for the NBA draft, went undrafted before signing a two-way contract & being traded. NCAA has previously declared players ineligible in these situations.

Had no idea that Wemby and Ajay Mitchell were on the same Nanterre 92 under-18 squad back in 2019 🇫🇷

If Fox is out for 2-3 games and Spurs look even better, will this injury actually end up being what gets him traded?!🔮🤔

New Mock Draft! Two-round mock with analysis of all 60 choices, plus updated both my personal big board and the NBA consensus board. The Draft Guide also has full scouting reports for all prospects with strengths, concerns, and comparisons. Check it out: sports.yahoo.com/nba/draft/mock/

Wtf?!?!

Cavaliers GM Mike Gansey and Phoenix Mercury GM Nick U'ren, who worked for the Warriors before his move to the WNBA, have emerged as names to watch in Philadelphia's front office search, @TheSteinLine has learned. Adding to our existing Philly coverage: tinyurl.com/2hw5e8pj

From 2️⃣, to the guys 🎁

Rockets GM Rafael Stone talks about balancing fit vs. talent in the draft

@ShamsCharania Are American Superstars Washed? This is 8 straight international MVP's. Americans won 59 of the first 63.

👀

Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has won his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award, becoming the 14th player in league history to win back-to-back MVPs, multiple sources tell ESPN.

When I watched Caleb Wilson, I wasn't seeing great defense. The numbers didn't love his D. But I've heard people who love it.

Couldn’t agree more—super entertaining! And sorry but besides Woo, the ESPN panel just didn’t work. Various awkward interviews and analysis throughout, especially the Caleb Wilson love fest. I actually muted ESPN combine coverage and listened to post lottery podcasts from No Ceilings, Givony, Vecenie, KOC.

@John_Fanta , @krystenpeek , and @AdamFinkelstein absolutely CRUSHED covering the NBA Combine this year! They truly set the standard for combine coverage moving forward 💯
