Kawhi Leonard’s Thoughts on Delayed Trade Back To Toronto Revealed

The NBA's investigation into the alleged cap circumvention scandal involving the LA Clippers and Kawhi Leonard continues to drag on. Almost a year now. All sorts of rumors have circulated, including what potential punishments, if any, are being considered by the NBA for the Clippers and, if necessary, for Leonard.

Jonathan Kuminga Free Agency Is Currently 'A Mess': Insider

The Jonathan Kuminga free agency continues to slow-play this summer. The Los Angeles Lakers have been interested all along, but the player's salary demands have made it difficult for a deal to get done.  The Cleveland Cavaliers are also in the mix, but the value Kuminga's putting on himself just doesn't jibe with what other teams are offering. And there just isn't that much flexibility salary-wise on the market. Teams just don't have the space at this point in the offseason. Insider Brett...

Insider Reports Mavericks Looking To Trade 3 Players

The Dallas Mavericks became Cooper Flagg's team from pretty much the moment he stepped on the court to begin his career last season. Everything they do going forward will be to build around the 19-year-old phenom.  That means, for those players on the wrong side of 25, their time in Dallas will be short. Aside from Kyrie Irving (for now), several of the more veteran Mavs are on the trade block this summer.  REPORT: The Dallas Mavericks are open to trading Klay Thompson, PJ Washington...

A Very Influential 2-Time NBA Champ Tries To Lure Klay Thompson To Lakers

Klay Thompson, from all accounts, is working hard on a buyout agreement with the Dallas Mavericks. Should that come to pass, there would be quite a few teams with interest in the former Splash Brother. Still an elite long-range bomber, Klay could help a number of clubs off the bench, even at the age of 36.  The one team that has a very influential voice trying to recruit Klay is the LA Lakers. It seems that former two-time Lakers world champion Mychal Thompson—yes, Klay's father —is worki...

LeBron James Turned Down Many More Millions From One Team This Summer
