Callie Caplan: Luka Doncic, when asked whether he and Kyrie Irving have had enough time to learn to play together: “I don’t think offense is the problem. I’ve always said this. It’s our defensive end. I think anybody can score on us. Whoever it is, anybody can score on us.”

LeBron James, Ja Morant, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, and other prominent players sported stylish sneakers during the concluding stretch of regular-season games this past week.

Despite the Dallas Mavericks’ struggles since acquiring Kyrie Irving, the plan is still to re-sign the star guard, league sources told Bleacher Report. Irving is eligible for an extension, but he will instead allow his future to be decided in free agency this summer, sources said. Dallas is 9-16 since making the blockbuster trade, but the shortcomings do not fall on Irving’s shoulders.

Does (Jaylen Brown) stay in Boston? Kendrick Perkins: That is another problem that I’m having. If something is going on in that locker room or in that organization because he is giving me all the signs that he wants out of Boston… whether it’s him addressing the fan base whether it’s him basically talking about let’s see how much the organization really value me because my name is in trade rumors every single year. And not only do you lose Ime Udoka, you also lose Damon Stoudemire who was kind... Читать дальше...

There was a rumbling that Danny Ainge said you could buy a house in Utah. Is that true? Lauri Markkanen: Yeah. A lot of times, I’d have friends come over. In Cleveland, we owned a house. I hadpeople coming over to visit me. I remember in September, October, or even November, guys were afraid to book tickets from Finland because flights are expensive. They were asking me, “Are you going to be there?” I didn’t really havepeople coming over because they were worried about buying tickets and if I got flipped or traded somewhere else.

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, a two-time MVP and the only player in history to win the award unanimously, revealed who his vote would go to this year. “I would say Joel,” Curry told Bleacher Report. “Any person you pick, their body of work could be compared to Jokić or Giannis. But Joel took a leap that I think a lot of people didn’t expect because he was dominant already. That leap turned heads and put Philly in a great position. If I had to pick, it would be him.”

Lauri Markkanen: I always knew what I could do as a player. I never stopped believing. When you’re having those tough times, I had a rough year and a half towards the end of the Chicago era. It’s hard to see the opportunity. I was focused on the day-to-day stuff. I’m not thinking about going to other teams or having the opportunity all of a sudden. I think it was a slow progress. I think I needed that year in Cleveland before this could happen. It’s all part of the journey. I wouldn’t say I stopped believing... Читать дальше...

Will you be with Finland for the FIBA World Cup this summer? Lauri Markkanen: Yeah. That was a big thing for us. I think we were the first country other than the host country to qualify. That’s our first-time basketball performance-wise qualifying. It was a big thing for us. I always want to represent the country, and I’m looking forward to it.
