LeBron James: Hey Sam actually my patience isn’t waning. You make it sound like I’m frustrated when I’m really not. I told you over and over, my job is focused on the guys in the locker room, my job isn’t the roster. That’s the reality of that conversation. And I said what I said with the upmost respect and calmness cause that’s the mood I’m in! Your welcome! 5 game winning streak. 😉👑

According to a source, while the LaVine-Billy Donovan player-coach relationship is still very workable it remains somewhat strained in the wake of a Nov. 18, late-game benching in which Donovan chose to ride out the final minutes against Orlando with LaVine out of the game. Zach LaVine expressed his displeasure with Donovan’s decision immediately after the game, stating “That’s Billy’s decision, he’s gotta lay with it. Do I agree with it? No. I think I can go out there and still be me even if I miss some shots. Читать дальше...

In his most extensive comments yet on the Lakers’ lack of upgrades — and more specifically the reluctance to trade the 2027 and 2029 first-round picks that some team officials believe would be better used to chase another star player this summer — James made it clear that his patience is waning. “Y’all know what the f— should be happening,” he told The Athletic at the end our brief-but-revealing conversation. “I don’t need to talk.”

Chris Fedor: The Cavs believe this player is available. And my sources are telling me that he could be had. It’s again at the right price. And it’s a little bit tricky, because he’s on a team that’s fourth place currently in the Western Conference… Tim Hardaway Jr is somebody that the Cavs have been watching. And they’ve been keeping an eye on. And I think if the Cavs had their choice, it would be very, very close. And they’re not going to have their choice. It doesn’t work that way. But if they had their choice... Читать дальше...

Prior to the start of the season, Fred VanVleet turned down a contract extension valued at roughly $114 million, the maximum Toronto could offer at the time, according to a source. He’s eligible to sign an extension up to that value until the end of the campaign, but considering he can make more in free agency and he literally wears the mantra “Bet on Yourself” across his chest, it’s not a surprise that he would prefer to let his current deal expire before negotiating a new one.
