Mike D’Antoni was inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend as part of the 2026 class. He knows that the primary reason he is getting in is the philosophical change in the league that he helped usher in when he brought the “Seven Seconds or Less” philosophy over from his coaching days in Italy, […]

Bucks Would Peyton Watson make the Bucks considerably better next season? Maybe not. But that might not really be the point. The Bucks have been linked to Watson for more than a month, and Tre Allen of NBA On SI examines what the 23-year-old forward could mean for a Milwaukee team that has entered a […] The post NBA Notes: Bucks, Peyton Watson, Pelicans, Jordan Poole, Bulls appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Cavaliers For all the noise around the Cavaliers this summer, Evan Mobley has somehow become one of the quieter parts of the conversation. John Hobbs of Cavs On SI argues that probably shouldn’t be the case. Mobley averaged 18.2 points and 9.0 rebounds last season, then remained productive through Cleveland’s run to the Eastern Conference […] The post NBA Notes: Cavs, Evan Mobley, Kings, Keegan Murray, Jazz appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Timberwolves Anthony Edwards isn’t talking championship just yet. First, he wants to see what the new-look Timberwolves actually look like together. Minnesota made one of the summer’s biggest changes by acquiring LaMelo Ball in the four-team trade that sent Naz Reid to Charlotte and Julius Randle to Brooklyn. That gives the Wolves a dynamic new […] The post NBA Notes: Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards, Mavericks, offseason, Grizzlies appeared first on Hoops Wire.

The Lakers now know their 2026-27 regular schedule – the longest road trips (the annual Grammy swing in late January/early February), the long homestands (three separate five-game stretches in December, March and April) and the competitive breaks. They also know the marquee matchups in which Luka Doncic will be the featured player, leading a roster...

The Cavaliers apparently won’t be getting an A for their Dennis Schroder trade. But ESPN believes they did slightly better than the other guys. ESPN’s Zach Kram gave Cleveland a B for its deal with the Hornets, while Charlotte received a B-minus. For the Cavs, Kram writes that the trade was primarily about money and […] The post Cavs get favorable marks for Dennis Schroder trade appeared first on Hoops Wire.

Thought this was an interesting list, so I wanted to share with the class. It is based on 2025 stats and contract numbers so it doesn’t account for new deals. I know it’s expected that players getting starter level minutes on cheap contracts are going to be high on this list. But it’s still interesting to see KPJ at 16, Rollins at 20, and Jaquez at 21. It seems that a lot of people consider KPJ to be basically salary filler. It was vindicating to see him this high on the list as a Bucks fan t...

Amidst a summer of change off the court, the Lakers’ search for normalcy and cohesion will have to be found on it.

Dereck Lively II has undergone three foot surgeries in the last year as he works to try to get healthy for the upcoming season, and he still has more work to do.

All the Celtics news you need in one convenient place.

At the end of his Bleacher Report live stream (video link) this past week, Jake Fischer of The Stein Line said he isn’t expecting offseason contract extensions for Bucks guard Tyler Herro or Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. Based on his wording, it’s unclear if Fischer was reporting that extensions aren’t expected for the two […]

It's been a big offseason for the Boston Celtics, who traded Jaylen Brown for Paul George in one of the more surprising moves of the summer.

The Boston Celtics recently shared video of Paul George's initial visit to the team's practice facility. In the video, George expressed his excitement about joining the Celtics. "It's surreal. I'm ecstatic," George said. "I'm looking forward to the journey. I'm looking forward to wearing that green and representing for Boston." The Celtics acquired the veteran wing in a trade that sent Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers. Boston also acquired draft capital in that trade with Philadelphia. ...

Shaquille O’Neal has developed a reputation since retiring of being pretty hard on centers in today’s NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers legend has high expectations for big men and does not mince his words, having no problems saying exactly how he feels. In an interview with Rich Kleiman of Boardroom, O’Neal was asked if he […]

The dog days of NBA summer can be difficult to slog through. Even New York Knicks fans have long since washed off the champagne scent and entered "What's next?" mode.

Photo via Kobe Bryant/Twitter | Photo via Kobe Bryant/Twitter There aren’t many great memories of the Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard era. What was supposed to be another title window opening for Bryant ended up being a season referred to as the Dwightmare. There was tension between Kobe and Dwight, players couldn’t stay healthy and it ended with a torn Achilles and a first-round sweep. Time hasn’t really made that season look any better, but there was a kernel of joy in the midst of a downtime...

A rival NBA scout isn’t convinced that either of the Cavaliers’ supposed wing targets would necessarily make them better. In fact, when it comes to Jonathan Kuminga, the scout thinks the Cavs could be taking a step backward. “The Cavs are not a better team if they lose Dean Wade and Max Strus and replace […] The post NBA scout not sold on reported Cavs targets Jonathan Kuminga, Peyton Watson appeared first on Hoops Wire.
