Report 🚨: Kawhi Leonard, Ja Morant and Trae Young have emerged as options for the Miami Heat as they have essentially “struck out” on the Giannis sweepstakes. Pat Riley is working to bring superstar talent to pair with Bam Adebayo per @TheSteinLine
Walker Kessler wants an extension. The Jazz won’t give one. A sign-and-trade is on the table.
Meanwhile, Darryn Peterson reportedly does NOT want to be drafted by Utah (per @GrantAfseth) and won’t work out for them.
Draft day’s looming — and Cameron Boozer to the Jazz at No. 2 is feeling more and more likely.
Breaking🚨: the Washington Wizards have informed AJ Dybantsa he will be their No. 1 overall pick on June 23rd per sources. Dybantsa becomes just the third No. 1 overall selection of Washington’s era, joining John Wall (2010) and Kwame Brown (2001). The Utah Jazz are on the clock at pick 2.
Again, it comes down to whether the Bucks front office views the package as enough for Giannis. They won’t pull the trigger unless they believe they’re getting sufficient value in return for their two-time MVP.
Report 🚨: Jaylen Brown’s preferred destinations are SAS or ATL— San Antonio is said to be aggressive in its pursuit, viewing Brown as the proven, title-winning piece next to Wembanyama for the foreseeable future. The market is shaping up fast 8 days before the NBA Draft.
The package would send Giannis to Boston, Jaylen Brown to San Antonio, De’Aaron Fox + four Spurs firsts to Milwaukee, with the Celtics also sending the Bucks their 2026 first (No. 27) and an additional asset, league sources tell me.
Internal reports: GM Brian Wright and owner Peter Holt feel they struck gold with Castle and Harper and want a proven, title-winning vet beside them. Fox’s deal headlines a package for Jaylen Brown — it comes down to whether the Bucks see it as enough for Giannis.
More to come.
The Spurs are emerging as a potential third team for Jaylen Brown in Giannis Antetokounmpo trade talks, with a deal that would send the No. 20 pick to Milwaukee with multiple future picks, per @GrantAfseth
BREAKING: A three-team deal is gaining momentum — Giannis to Boston, Jaylen Brown to San Antonio, De’Aaron Fox + four firsts to Milwaukee, with the Celtics also sending the Bucks their 2026 first (No. 27), league sources tell me.
More to come.
@ETGEACOLLEGE End cutscenes have been sped up in 2x speed in road to cfp playoff for some reason. Some weird running animations after jukes where the player slows down, but otherwise 🔥
