The market for Bulls All-Star guard Zach LaVine still has been quiet, as interested teams remain reluctant to absorb the four seasons and roughly $180 million remaining on his contract. LaVine is trending toward a return Friday from a weeks-long absence due to right foot inflammation. Perhaps a strong return to play, with the defensive effort he once showed for Team USA that intrigued NBA evaluators, could add some momentum for a LaVine deal. The struggling Lakers do forecast as the most sensible... Читать дальше...

The premier point guard on the market before the Feb. 8 trade deadline may be Atlanta’s Dejounte Murray, a former All-Star whom the Hawks have made widely available, according to league sources, two years after trading three first-round picks to acquire Murray from San Antonio.

After sitting for the final 18 minutes of Thursday night’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has lost faith in coach Steve Kerr, and the 2021 lottery pick no longer believes Kerr will allow him to reach his full potential, sources close to Kuminga tell The Athletic, adding another layer of turbulence to an already complex Warriors season. “(Thursday night) was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” one of the sources said.

Atlanta was once considered the most aggressive suitor for Siakam’s services, holding serious conversations with Toronto last offseason, sources said. But the chatter among NBA executives surrounding Pascal Siakam’s potential landing spots has now centered on Indiana, Sacramento and Detroit. Yes, the Pistons keep signaling to opposing executives an interest in buying, sources said, instead of selling off veterans from the league’s lowest team. Other teams mentioned, such as Dallas and Philadelphia... Читать дальше...

The Kings have been calling opposing front offices to gauge the value of packaging Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Not exactly the youthful tandem that came back from New York, and Sacramento won’t consider moving sophomore sharpshooter Keegan Murray, sources said. But Sacramento has third-year guard Davion Mitchell available for trade, and the Kings hold future picks beyond this year’s first rounder owed to Atlanta to help facilitate any deal before next month’s deadline.

Goran Dragic announced: “I am looking forward to the project. It will take place on August 23 and 24, 2024. I wanted it to take place in Ljubljana, where I grew up and where I am at home. I also wanted to bring all the stars I played with.” He released some big names that we will follow in Ljubljana: ” Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Luis Scola, Bogdan Bogdanovič, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jimmy Butler, Jeff Hornacek, Kevin McHale, Steve Nash …”

The other factor here, as is always the case in situations like these, relates to a possible replacement. It was no surprise “Doc Rivers” was trending on social media channels in the hours after the Lakers story dropped, as the former Magic/Celtics/Clippers/Sixers coach and current ESPN analyst is currently available. When you talk to people closer to the situation, it’s Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy who is more often brought up as a possible pick. But again, we’re not there quite yet.

“I know if I keep going I’m gonna get paid, but that’s not the main thing right now,” Hartenstein said. “The main thing is, I wanna play good for New York and then everything after will kinda take care of itself.”

It’s January 5! And do you know what that means? Well, for NBA executives it marks the first day they can officially sign players to their roster on 10-day contracts. For those unaware, a 10-day deal allows a team to sign a player for three games or 10 days, whichever lasts longer. This, in turn, can help a franchise fill a need caused by injury or just bolster its bench depth.

The Cavs aren’t in a situation where they are even interested in listening to what teams are going to offer them for Donovan Mitchell. They’re not even considering that at the moment. Beyond that, and I’ve talked to Donovan about this multiple times, he is happy right now where he is at. He is happy being a Cleveland Cavalier. He believes in this team. He believes in this roster. He helped recruit George Niang and Max Strus because he knew after going through that playoff series against the Knicks that the Cavs... Читать дальше...

Even though Durant had mentioned the idea of concluding his playing days in Barcelona, James played down the likelihood of the Phoenix Suns superstar making a move to the Old Continent. “When he said that, I think that it got made to be something bigger,” James pointed out. “I doubt he will ever play here, to be honest. Like all of us, got caught in the moment and just enjoying where you at, and he just probably said something, but I doubt he will ever be here. He just enjoyed his time here and said it to make some people happy.”

When Durant is asked if this increased publicity is a blessing and a curse, since turning the NBA into a soap opera at least brings new fans to the league, he says: “It’s just a curse, I think. In my opinion, it’s always good to stay private. We give our lives to the fans all year, you know, every game, [and] through our platforms as well.” “So, sometimes we want some stuff to be sacred, but there’s nothing sacred nowadays.”
