The Celtics lost the season series against the defending champions Denver Nuggets on Thursday night in a hard fought 115-109 loss. The Celtics have a long road to navigate to even get to the NBA Finals for a possible rematch against the Nuggets or a host of other top tier Western Conference contenders in June. However, Charles Barkley made clear just how sky high his expectations are for the franchise on TNT’s Inside the NBA on Thursday night. “If they don’t win a championship this year, it would...

The Suns team owner also knows how valuable Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale are to this team. They’re both unrestricted free agents after this season, but Ishbia can see them playing for the Suns beyond that. “Royce and Grayson are two great guys,” Ishbia said. “Royce is new to the organization, has done an amazing job, everything you can think of, and Grayson has been here all year. He’s been a phenomenal part of the team and the organization. We hope and expect to have both of those guys back... Читать дальше...

As one of the NBA’s all-time fiercest competitors, Chris Paul couldn’t stand losing to the Chicago Bulls inside Chase Center on Thursday. But separate the outcome and the contest held special meaning for the Golden State Warriors star. It was a matchup against his mentee, Bulls guard Coby White, who Paul considers a little brother and this season’s NBA Most Improved Player. “He better get it,” Paul told The Athletic following the Bulls’ 125-122 win.

With that in mind, HoopsHype asked eight NBA executives for their free agent projections for Thompson. Three executives believed Thompson would get $18-20 million annually, and the other five predicted he’d get $20-25 million annually. Four executives believed Golden State would ideally try to align Thompson with his fellow “Splash Brother,” Curry, on a two-year deal. Green, meanwhile, has a player option for the 2026-27 season. “I see him at around $18-20 million a year,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype. Читать дальше...

“Klay’s not going anywhere,” one NBA executive predicted while chatting with HoopsHype. “The Warriors can’t let him walk. He’s a four-time champion, and they can’t really replace him. At some point, if a player isn’t getting the job done and still wants to play as he gets older, you’d come off the bench, and he’s doing that while playing better. Maybe they tie his deal to Steph’s. Klay’s value is in the $20-25 million range. I think other teams would sign him. If you’re Detroit, wouldn’t you love that level of maturity and experience? Читать дальше...

“I’m all about winning,” Thompson told HoopsHype. “Our franchise has been like that since I’ve been here. Andre Iguodala made the same sacrifice. He came around and got Finals MVP. I’m not saying I’m going to do that this season. I’m still playing 25-30 minutes a night, and especially 13 years in and after the injuries I overcame, it’s still an incredible accomplishment and still being a heck of a player out there. I’m scoring at all three levels, playing defense, and having fun.”

With Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and coach Steve Kerr signed through the 2025-26 season, will Klay Thompson be the next Warriors cornerstone piece to get a new deal in free agency this summer?

“They’re all helping us. Like, Ime’s a perfect coach. He’s the best coach I ever had, probably,” Şengün said. “But not just Ime. Our whole coaching staff is amazing. Everybody’s doing a great job. Everybody wants to win. I’ve never seen a coaching staff like this in my life. And when you see, you understand. They’re tough. They’re talking to us. They’re not scared of anything.”

Even Anthony Edwards was surprised with how much elevation he got even though the Timberwolves star is surely accustomed to the thin air in the skies with how high he gets off the ground on a regular basis. “I hit my head I think on the rim. It’s hurting real bad and I landed on my wrist. But I saw him with the lane, I knew he was going up for the layup and I was just like, ‘I’m [gonna] go get this.’ I ain’t never jumped that high in my life,” Edwards said in his postgame interview following their win over the Pacers...

Paul Pierce: “I’ve never said LeBron wasn’t top five, but it was based on when they were playing the Portland Trail Blazers in the bubble… I said if they lose to the Blazers in the playoffs first round, I don’t want to hear about LeBron being top five because they had a championship team. They went on to win the championship that year. Do I think LeBron is top five? Absolutely, man. Absolutely. After they won that championship, I said LeBron has cemented himself as the number two player all time. Читать дальше...

Anthony Slater: Steph Curry really limping on his right leg. Banged it on a drive. Tried to walk it off but Warriors subbed him out. He limped straight to the locker room with Rick Celebrini following behind.
