Shaq says he would draft LeBron over Kobe to start a franchise
“I’d probably go with [LeBron James] because Bron — and I know this is a Kobe [Bryant] comparison — Bron had it when he came in. It took Kobe two or three years to get it. Bron had it when he came in, so I’d probably go with Bron.”

The Nets are expected to offer Austin Reaves a four-year, $178.5 million contract, per @DanWoikeSports.
The Pistons and Hawks are among the teams that can create cap space and make competitive offers for Reaves.
🚨 Kel’el Ware’s trade value is reportedly a first-round pick, per @flasportsbuzz
- Has shown GREAT potential on both ends
- Stretches the floor with his 3 ball
- Cheap contract for next 2 years
- Great fit with Luka
I’d love to send Pick #25 for him 🤝
Golden State’s pitch to LeBron James is “presumed to include the idea that LeBron could commute from Los Angeles to some TBD degree without having to move his family.” - @JakeLFischer 🤔
The Warriors look like the favorite IF LeBron leaves the Lakers 👀
Spurs winning lol
Giannis going to the Knicks not happening if they win the finals. Would make him look like a ring chasaaaa 😂
If Knicks win , It’s Lakers Heat & Boston
It’s Miami , Boston & Knicks….
Lmao Tatum & Giannis wouldn’t be bad…
Giannis & Bam aight…
But Knicks ? 😂😂😂
No wonder he waiting for Finals to end
REPORT: Giannis Antetokounmpo has Miami as his top landing spot, and there’s been noise that he would welcome a trade to Boston 👀
“Sources close to the process consistently say that they believe that Miami is at the top of Antetokounmpo's current wish list, but likewise continue to whisper that the idea of landing in Boston is still in his thoughts somewhere. Chatter persists that Antetokounmpo, in any case, is determined to stay in the Eastern Conference after 13 seasons as a Buck.”

The Warriors are committed to pursuing LeBron James and building a big four of Steph, Draymond, Jimmy, and LeBron
“League sources maintain that Golden State remains legitimately interested in adding LeBron to their Stephen Curry/Jimmy Butler/Draymond Green core coached by Steve Kerr ... with the pitch presumed to include the idea that LeBron could commute from Los Angeles to some TBD degree without having to move his family.”
(via @JakeLFischer h/t @TheDunkCentral)
There is an increasing belief leaguewide that the Bucks would prefer to wait until after the NBA Finals before completing a deal to see if the Knicks end up squandering a 2-0 lead and decide to re-enter the Giannis Trade Sweepstakes, per @TheSteinLine
