Reporting live for the NBA Draft Show -- the Charlotte Hornets are engaged in LaMelo Ball trade talks as multiple teams strongly pursue the star guard:
Bobby Marks on Kawhi Leonard:
"I think there's a lot of playoff teams keeping an eye on what happens with Kawhi Leonard."
Malika Andrews: "What playoff teams?"
Marks: "Maybe his former teams."
Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves intends to sign a four-year, $185 million maximum contract to return to the franchise, with a player option for the final season in 2029-30, sources tell ESPN. Reaves declined his $14.9M player option for the new max deal.
Q: Paxton has even begun to call you 'Low T Talarico.' What’s your response?
James Talarico: Honestly, I had to look up what that meant. I don’t think guys my age are really concerned about that kind of thing
Free agent guard Ayo Dosunmu intends to sign a five-year, $112 million contract to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a player option in the fifth season, sources tell ESPN. Timberwolves made it a major priority to lock in Dosunmu after his tremendous postseason.
Just in: Minnesota is sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves will acquire Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick for Randle and No. 28.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are finalizing a trade to send guard Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two second-round picks (Atlanta's in 2030 and the least favorable of Hawks/Lakers in 2032), sources tell ESPN.

Precisely zero people were calling for a suspension to be in imposed. That would’ve been ridiculous.
But it’s also ridiculous to pretend that wasn’t definitionally a Flagrant 1. It should’ve been adjudicated as such.
I don’t understand why it wasn’t.
Fans packed the Frost Bank Center for a Game 3 watch party, erupting as the Spurs earned a road NBA Finals win over the Knicks. https://t.co/UwWOyAMbj9
