@TheDunkCentral @PatMcAfeeShow MJ basically said you still got work to do lmao

@ShamsCharania Is this the lowest value for a #1 overall pick we’ve seen in recent history

BREAKING: The Oklahoma City Thunder trading All-Defensive wing Lu Dort to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal that sends three second-round picks to OKC, former No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher to the Dallas Mavericks and Ryan Nembhard to Atlanta, sources tell ESPN.

@Fullcourtpass @ShamsCharania Entire season suspense would throw an interesting wrench into the trade

Kawhi Leonard has denied ANY participation in the alleged Aspiration scandal, per @ShamsCharania “The absolute worst is Kawhi Leonard’s contract being voided, or him being suspended for a significant period of time. Whether it’s 40/20 games or entire season.. it all comes down to the evidence and what’s found in the investigation.” (h/t @NBA__Courtside)

@TheDunkCentral @TheSteinLine @JakeLFischer Yeah they gotta be trolling at this point 😭

The Pelicans made it a priority to outbid other teams for DeAndre Jordan, per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer “Sources with knowledge of New Orleans’ thinking say that the Pelicans re-signed DeAndre Jordan to a two-year deal rather than a mere one-year minimum contract because they were convinced that Jordan had one-year interest elsewhere that he was prepared to accept and did not want to lose the 37-year-old's locker room influence.” (Via marcstein.substack.com/p/late-night-n…)

@APH00PS Oh nah he fr COOKED

BREAKING: The Los Angeles Clippers are nearing deal sending Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, 2 first-round picks, 1 pick swap and 2 second-rounders, sources tell ESPN. A return to Canada for the Raptors champion and two-time Finals MVP.

@APH00PS L frank cooked considering the leverage we had

Welcome home, Chris Paul ❤️

@ShamsCharania WE FINALLY GOT COLLINS!

BREAKING: The Clippers, Jazz and Heat have agreed to a trade that sends Norman Powell to Miami, John Collins to Los Angeles, and Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson and a 2027 Clippers second-round pick to the Jazz, sources tell ESPN.

@APH00PS @SRgzrr I’ve been against trading Zu but I really like the idea of this especially with the Lopez signing

@SRgzrr We got an actual package we can offer for Giannis (Zubac, 2030, 2031, 2032 and multiple swaps). Thunder won’t go after him after just winning the championship. They only gotta outbid the Mavs, 76ers, and Rockets and which one of those teams is offering a better player than Zu?

Clippers and their delusion😭

@Ralphjosh2_0 @JamCristopher Agreed I don’t like hypotheticals at all like I stated but that trade instantly made us contenders

@misterposty @JamCristopher We can’t live in a land of hypotheticals. Clippers were dumb for making that trade. Knowing the injury history. Just for the raptors to win that ring it took intense load management

We lost the shai trade. But we made the trade, & immediately got the highest seed in franchise history & was up 3-1 in a round we had never got passed. & then, the very next year we got passed it. No 1 likes luck convo’s. But yeah. Dangerously close to the trade being a win.

@TheDunkCentral @TheSteinLine I love CP3 but there’s no “sweepstakes” anymore for a 40 year old PG 😭

The Charlotte Hornets are planning to pull out of the Chris Paul sweepstakes, per @TheSteinLine “The Stein Line has likewise learned that the Charlotte Hornets also planned to make a run at Paul — who grew up in North Carolina — but have all but conceded internally that the former Wake Forest star will almost certainly decide to stay on the West Coast if he returns for a 21st NBA season. Charotte is known to be pursuing veteran ballhandlers to back up All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball and is perceived to be one of the potential landing spots for Cleveland's Ty Jerome(as we reported earlier on Sunday).” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)

@BleacherReport @ShamsCharania Win win for both sides

Bobby Portis intends to sign a 3-year, $44M contract to return to the Bucks, per @ShamsCharania He's staying in Milwaukee 🔥

@JamCristopher 👀

Remix soon?

@ShamsCharania Safe to say he’ll retire a Clipper love to see it

BREAKING: 11-time NBA All-Star James Harden is declining his player option and intends to sign a new two-year, $81.5 million contract to return to the Los Angeles Clippers, sources tell ESPN.

@LegionHoops Love to see it, podcast p would’ve never

BREAKING: James Harden is signing a team-friendly 2-year, $81M deal to stay with the Clippers, per ESPN This pay cut will allow the Clippers to add to their roster. Respect

@Fullcourtpass @flasportsbuzz @HeatvsHaters Actually a pretty good offer ngl

The Heat offered Jimmy Butler, Josh Richardson, a first-round pick, and Nikola Jovic for Kevin Durant at the trade deadline, per @flasportsbuzz (h/t @HeatvsHaters)

@APH00PS At this point you just gotta respect it 😂

Clippers legend PJ Tucker announces he has no plan to retire on his Instagram story: “I’m 40 years young, 100% healthy, able, and will continue playing the game I’ve dedicated my life to… HOOPIN!!!!!!”

@esidery @ShamsCharania @PatMcAfeeShow Julius Randle you are a Phoenix Sun

The Timberwolves are very intrigued by the idea of trading for Kevin Durant without including Jaden McDaniels or Naz Reid in the deal, per @ShamsCharania on @PatMcAfeeShow. In order to make salaries work, Minnesota would need to send Julius Randle or Rudy Gobert to the Suns.
