The NBA's investigation into Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers is becoming more embarrassing by the day.

Veteran guard Russell Westbrook remains an unsigned free agent deep into the summer, but a reunion with the Sacramento Kings for the 2026-27 season reportedly may not be off the table.

Among the many new additions for the Los Angeles Lakers this summer was No. 24 overall pick Cameron Carr out of Baylor University. Carr, a versatile 3-and-D guard/forward, is exactly the type of player that the Lakers have been missing over the last few years, and certainly an archetype that the current team needs. Carr […]

Amen Thompson is reportedly considered untouchable by Houston, but the Rockets still aren't ready to offer him a maximum extension.

Chris Finch understands why Anthony Edwards shook hands with Spurs players during Game 6.

Knicks second-round pick Jack Kayil will become a draft-and-stash prospect, according to Rupert Fabig of the Hamburger Abendbatt, who reports that the German point guard has signed a five-year contract with ALBA Berlin (hat tip to Johnny Askounis of Eurohoops). The German club has put out a press release officially confirming its deal with Kayil, […]

As DeMar DeRozan's future hangs in limbo, we explore three ideal and three poor landing spots for the veteran star this summer.

Even though LeBron James and Kevin Love got together this summer as part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers title, a basketball reunion may not be in the cards for the former teammates.

The San Antonio Spurs ranked No. 13 in our preseason power rankings last year. It felt like a reasonable placement for a team that had not made the playoffs the last six seasons. Instead, Victor Wembanyama led them all the way to the NBA Finals, where they suffered a devastating five-game loss to the New […]

More than a month after free agency started, Jonathan Kuminga continues to wait to figure out where he'll be playing next season.

Jalen Duren, James Harden and others remain in flux as the 2026-27 season draws closer.

I think there should be no penalty for Kawhi and all the punishment should be on the Clippers. The player/player agent is supposed to ask for the world and it’s up to the team to say no. When Kawhi was negotiating with the Raptors Uncle Dennis asked for No show jobs according to Tannenbaum and the team said they couldn’t/wouldn’t do it. Kawhi didn’t architect this scam. Balmer or Balmer’s people did. Kawhi isn’t an innocent here but he is also not the guy who made it happen. Fine the clippers...

As Victor Wembanyama's younger brother, Oscar Wembanyama, joins the Spurs' offseason practices in France, we examine how capable the forward is of becoming an NBA player some day.

If we learned anything from the 2026 NBA offseason, it's that teams are more terrified than ever of overspending.

Shoutout to Texanstros. This article was their idea. Perhaps the best idea I’ve had during my time with The Dream Shake was to solicit the comments section for article ideas. I’ll be using a few of your suggestions. Stros (can I call you Stros?) suggested a piece on how badly the Rockets might miss Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks. This is a modified version of that idea. Why? Because this Dream Shaker doesn’t really miss Green: But he badly misses Brooks. Rockets (may have?) missed Brooks last ...

Here's a fresh weekend open thread, just for you.

This NBA offseason brought several seismic changes — with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jaylen Brown and LeBron James among the major names on the move.

New 76ers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey isn’t overly concerned about how LeBron James will fit alongside Philadelphia’s collection of stars. Gansey told ESPN that James’ ability to adapt has long been one of his greatest strengths. “LeBron’s a connector. That’s the one thing about him,” Gansey said. “He fits every role you possibly […] The post Sixers’ Mike Gansey: LeBron James will ‘elevate everyone in the whole building’ appeared first on Hoops Wire.

The Cavaliers aren’t exactly lacking star power. What they may still be lacking is a clear answer at small forward. Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report ranked Cleveland’s projected starting lineup seventh in the NBA, with James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen making up the expected first five. That assumes Harden […] The post Cavs’ starting lineup ranked among NBA’s best, but one question remains appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey said he only exchanged "a couple" of phone calls and texts with LeBron James before the NBA's all-time leading scorer agreed to join the Sixers this offseason.
