Mike Brown on Jalen Brunson's $113 million paycut: "He understands what winning is about. He comes and he probably takes a pay cut that I wouldn't have taken. Every time they would've thrown that number in front of me, I would have said 'no,' and I feel like I'm a good guy. He set the bar before he even stepped on the floor every time it came to renegotiate a deal with him. That set the standard. Now, when you take his play into account, it's off the charts, man... I hope Pat [Ewing] doesn't kill me, but when it comes to New York basketball, [Brunson] is freaking him."
Reporting for @TheConsensusNBA: The Oklahoma City Thunder and Charlotte Hornets have emerged as two of the most likely lottery destinations for Michigan’s Yaxel Landeborg in the 2026 NBA Draft, according to league sources.
The NBA says that the 2026 Finals featuring New York and San Antonio, through four games, are the league’s most-watched since Michael Jordan’s last Finals with Chicago against Utah in 1998.
The Game 4 figures:
Magic Johnson on De’Aaron Fox not holding the ball in game 4:
“He should’ve pulled the ball back out…. I think that play really hurt the Spurs. Wemby’s two FTs he missed hurt the spurs. De’Aaron is a PG, you gotta know every situation. My job as a PG was to know every situation. I think he should’ve pulled that ball back out”
‼️ El futuro de Marc Casadó
• Podría entrar en la operación Cancelo-Al Hilal, es una opción real.
• Mónaco nunca fue opción, solo ofrecimiento.
• Propuesta de Turquía en la que no piensa.
• Quiere ayudar al club y facilitar el encaje de Cancelo.

@pereda7 Josh Hart hace una bandeja solo. No se sabe por qué intenta ir a por el balón que ya ha entrado y kornet choca. Flopea lo más grande, patadita desde el suelo y encima se levanta buscando pelea. 🤢
What I’ve learned from my time in Tenerife through the Guanche people and Anaga is this:
We play for an island built by people who learned how to endure.
As we continue our playoff journey, there will be moments when the game gets hard.
That’s who we become.
