Can confirm. LeBron James’s preferred destination is the Warriors, per source.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: LeBron James will continue his NBA career for the 2026-27 season and has informed the Los Angeles Lakers that the franchise can move on without him because he will play elsewhere, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN.

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

Can confirm.

The Celtics are the favorites to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo and a deal should be completed later tonight, per @ChrisBHaynes.

Unless a last-minute snag occurs, Giannis appears off to Boston.

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

I’m hearing this from a lot of top brass around the NBA.

[Pull up shoot @NElGHT_]

Sounds like a guy ready to make some moves

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

Further proving the NBA has an agenda against Jaylen Brown.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

The NBA has fined Boston's Jaylen Brown $50,000 for his comments criticizing the referees during a live stream after Game 7 and series loss in the first round against the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN.

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

Correct.

[Fullcourtpass @Fullcourtpass]

Jaylen Brown calls out Joel Embiid for flopping

"Flopping has ruined our league. Joel Embiid is one of the greatest players that has played basketball, but he flops. He knows it too"

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

Cam Boozer is overrated!

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

Great win.

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

The Boston Celtics are very good.

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are nearing a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers that would land them James Harden, per source.

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

Kevin Durant is the greatest player of all time.

[Leigh Ellis @LeighEllis]

I asked KD, who is currently 6th all-time in scoring, if he thinks he could catch Kareem and end up 2nd. (I did the math to show him what he needs)

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

Very good player.

[KJ @KJScouting]

Liberty has one of the best Mid Major prospects in the 2026 NBA Draft in 6’7 Senior Point Forward Zach Cleveland.

Cleveland has been one of the most versatile players in the country this season averaging 11/8/7 along with 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals a game. He’s also shooting 61% from the field.

Cleveland’s mix of playmaking , athleticism, defense, and finishing at 6’7 gives him a unique mix of versatility and he uses that to his advantage on both ends. He’s shown the ability to guard the 1-5 at a high level this season and has been one of the best mid major defenders in the country on the defensive end, using his athleticism, instincts, and size to his advantage. On the offensive end Cleveland uses his elite passing vision to find his teammates with and without the ball, while also having the ability to be a creator at the rim or an off ball finishing 4.

[Chris Roberts @ChrisRobertsNBA]

Ole Miss robbed! That was a pass interference.
