🔸 🔸KD’s former teammate Andre Iguodala recently spoke about the Kevin Durant trade saga and he thinks that Durant should stay in Brooklyn.

🔸 The Knicks and Jazz recently re-engaged in trade talks centered on Donovan Mitchell.

There is no traction between the two teams on a deal, and no Mitchell trade is imminent for the Jazz. The Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards are also among the teams pursuing Mitchell, sources said.

🔸 The Utah Jazz have rejected New York Knicks offer for Julius Randle, they want RJ Barrett and six future first-round picks instead.
"Utah didn't want Julius Randle, from what I'm told. They don't want him. The Knicks were willing to unload him. They want RJ Barrett. They want at least 6 1st-round picks," according to Stephen A Smith.

🔸 The Los Angeles Lakers have been willing to include both of their first round-picks in a Kyrie Irving deal but the Brooklyn Nets are NOT interested.
REPORT: The Brooklyn Nets want ‘win-now talent’ in return to part with Kyrie Irving, per Marc Stein.
“The Nets’ current stance, sources say, is that they are unwilling to send out Irving in a trade if the deal solely brings back future assets.”

🔸 The Los Angeles Lakers have announced that they will retire Pau Gasol’s No. 16 on March 7, 2023.
Gasol with the Lakers was a 2x NBA champion, 3x NBA All-Star and 3x All-NBA. No. 16 will be raised to the rafters beside 24. 💜💛

🔸 The Utah Jazz are trading Patrick Beverley to the Los Angeles Lakers for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson.
In 2019, Patrick Beverley said he’ll never forget the Lakers trading him to Miami and then Miami cutting him, shortly after LeBron James’ arrival to the team.
“I played with Miami, with LeBron and they cut me. I got drafted by the Lakers, they traded me to Miami. Bron got there, they cut me. I remember it like it was yesterday, so yeah, it’s a chip on my shoulder,” Beverley said.
Beverley was drafted 42nd overall by the Lakers in the 2009 Draft and traded him to Miami, but he never played a single game for them. He ended up in Houston years later, where he made his NBA debut.
Patrick Beverley once said that the Los Angeles Lakers would make the Western Conference Finals under his Leadership.
He stated that he would love to play with a great" like LeBron James and "be able to pick his brain." He also said he would enjoy playing alongside Russell Westbrook.

🔸 FROM THE CHOSEN ONE, TO THE CHOSEN SONS.🔥
LeBron James and sons, Bronny & Bryce are the cover of Sports Illustrated for October 2022 issue.
20 years apart. Time flies.⏳

302095020_1496559687460922_5017481887670310832_n.jpg



🔸 LeBron James says he’d ‘definitely’ be looking at who has 1st-round picks from 2024 to 2027 because of chance to play with his sons.
Bronny James could be a candidate to be a one-and-done player if he decides to attend college, which means he’d be eligible for the 2024 NBA Draft while Bryce James is a very solid shooter and has the length to become an elite player some day. He’s grown a ton over the last few years and is now taller than his older brother.

REPORT: The New York Knicks and Utah Jazz don't rule out restarting Donovan Mitchell trade talks.

Neither Utah nor New York is ruling out restarting the talks before the start of training camps in late September, sources said.

🔸 BREAKING: RJ Barrett is finalizing a four-year rookie extension with the New York Knicks that could be worth up to $120 million, per Adrian Wojnarowski.


The Three Largest Contract in New York Knicks history💰
💰RJ Barrett: four-year, $120M
💰Julius Randle: four-year, $117M
💰Jalen Brunson: four-year, $104M


🔸 Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson on his Philippine home debut:
“It feels great. I always hear them even though I’m on the other side of the world, I hear them through social media.”
“I know Filipinos got my back and I got theirs as well ... We’re building something special so let's get it.”
Clarkson averaged 25 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 6.5 APG, 45.2% FG, 41.2% 3P in the 4th window of #FIBAWC Asian Qualifiers for the Philippines.🇵🇭

🔸 The Los Angeles Lakers have hesitated to trade their 2027 and 2029 first-round picks in any deal that doesn’t make them serious contenders for the next two seasons.
The Lakers might still prefer a Buddy Hield-Myles Turner trade costing two firsts than any bundle they’re able to cook up with the Utah Jazz.

🔸 Stephen Curry says if he would play for any other NBA team besides the Golden State Warriors, it would be the Charlotte Hornets.
“All I would say is if there was a team that I did want to play for that was not named the Warriors, that would be it [the Hornets].”

🔸 Gary Payton II recently revealed that he was once criticized by his father for being a ‘sorry-ass’ basketball player.
“And then one summer, my dad told me I wasn’t a good basketball player. Ha, he told me I was a sorry-ass basketball player ... And he told me to get a job or get a scholarship because he wasn’t going to pay for me to get to school.”
Ever since that moment, GP2 never stopped grinding. And now he’s an NBA champion and just recently signed a $28 million contract.❤️🏆
In a recent interview with coach George Karl, Gary Payton II said his decision to leave the Golden State Warriors simply was a financial one.
“For the money. I had to take the money. ... It didn't work out. I would love to go back to Golden State, but it didn't work out. Just the timing and everything. Just a business deal, and I just had to take the money.”

BREAKING : Draymond Green addressed the media for the first time since his punch on Jordan Poole:

"I was wrong for my actions ... and for that I have apologized to my team, I have apologized to Jordan.
That is the task at hand...to rebuild trust in the locker room. There's a huge embarrassment that comes from (the video) not only for myself...but the embarrassment that Jordan has to deal with ... and also Jordan's family...I am a very flawed human being...I failed as a leader. I failed as a man."
