Shams:
"Multiple teams are strongly pursuing LaMelo Ball right now. The Hornets are engaged. Ball does want to be in Charlotte. If the price is met he could very well be on the move. This is a developing story potentially over the next 24-48 hours"
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."
Yaxel Lendeborg could reportedly fall out of the lottery and slide as low as the No. 18 pick, per @BrettSiegelNBA
βWhile there has been talk around the league that Lendeborg will fall out of the lottery and be available in the 15-to-18 range, possibly giving him a backstop of Charlotte at the 18th pick, I still view him as a lottery talent for several reasons.β

Mike Brown talks about Spurs vs Knicks Free Throws discrepancy
"I never thought I'd be in an NBA Finals and see in the 2nd half 24 free throw attempts to another team's 8β¦San Antonio's a great teamβ¦It's gonna lower our odds big time if in Game 4 they get 24 free throws 2nd half to our 8"
Stephon Castle on suggestions that the Spurs are not floppers and if they are leaving gamesmanship on the table:
"I don't really know to answer that, because I sell calls too, I can't lie."

Bombshell: The #Browns are finalizing a trade of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the #Rams in a shocker, sources tell me, @TomPelissero & @AdamSchefter.
Cleveland would send Garrett to LA in exchange for star edge Jared Verse, a first-rounder, and more.
