The Grizzlies guard was one of college basketball’s best players from 2017-2019. Morant averaged 19 points, 8 assists and 9 rebounds for Murray State in his NCAA career. He would get selected as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

His collegiate success immediately carried over to the professional level. Morant took the NBA by storm, winning rookie of the year and leading Memphis to the playoffs in both of the last two seasons.

Texas men’s basketball tweeted out a picture of Coach Beard and Morant on Wednesday.

Could the Memphis Grizzlies actually trade for Kevin Durant

Can the Grizzlies even acquire Durant without Desmond Bane or Jaren Jackson Jr.? The answer is probably not. The rumors with the Boston

Granted, if Kevin Durant simply wants to come to Memphis, then they could win. I just don’t see the Grizzlies trumping any sort of offer without Bane or Jaren — regardless of which avenue the Nets decide to take in this complex situation. And it likely won’t be a picks-based package, as the Nets are unrelenting in their approach with Durant, per Marc Stein’s Substack:

League sources maintain that the Nets have not yet lowered their asking price in response to Durant’s trade demand and thus appear to be banking on the idea that there is still time for Durant to soften his trade-me stance and reengage with the franchise he is signed with for the next four seasons at $194 million. The Nets, as well as the rest of the league, thus remain in wait-and-see mode with regard to Durant’s willingness to report to training camp on time and whether he is prepared to make things more uncomfortable for the organization to encourage trade discussions.

Now, another question I’ll ask is if there’s something else to watch for here. Stick with my conspiracy theory here. I promise I’m not trying to go off the rails too hard here. The Nets have a bit of a shortage with logical trade partners, as the CBA prohibits a team from trading for two players on Designated Rookie Max Extensions. With Ben Simmons on the roster, they can’t trade for Donovan Mitchell or Bam Adebayo — as speculated in this saga.

Celtics and Jaylen Brown have been out there for weeks. The Hawks reportedly put John Collins and DeAndre Hunter in there as a starting point. The Raptors may not include Scottie Barnes, but what about Pascal Siakam or OG Anunoby? If the Grizzlies want to win this sweepstakes, then Bane or Jackson need to be on the table.

So the next question is, can the Grizzlies swoop Kevin Durant with a draft-focused package If the Grizzlies want to build an offer centered around their draft picks, any trade will need to include Steven Adams ($17.9M), Danny Green ($10M), and Dillon Brooks ($11.4M) to make the money work. Those 3 players will get the Grizzlies to $39.3M with roughly $5M left to match Durant’s salary. From there, they could thrown 1 of Brandon Clarke or Ziaire Williams, but Brooklyn may ask for both players. If this type of package is the route the Nets want to go down, the Grizzlies can get close. Adams, Green, and Brooks are expiring contracts; Williams is a young prospect worth investing in; and Brandon Clarke is a restricted free agent next summer.

Bulls Land Lakers’ Anthony Davis In Bold NBA Trade Scenario

The Los Angeles Lakers are in a bit of a difficult spot as they make decisions this NBA offseason.

ARTICLE CONTINUE AFTER THE ADVERTISEMENT..... SCROLL DOWN

This team needs to improve. With that in mind, they are bereft of draft capital. It’s hard to see an avenue for this team to get better.

After all, their key players may be untouchable. If the Lakers were to trade LeBron James, for example, it would have to mean a full-scale rebuild. Otherwise, they’d do well to keep him.

Is the same true for Anthony Davis? He’s one of the best defensive big men in the NBA.

On the other hand, the Lakers could move him in a bid to kickstart their offense.

Could they send him to the Chicago Bulls?

The Chicago Bulls are in a bit of a difficult spot, too.

In fact, they may be in a worse one. Say what you will about the Lakers – they just advanced to the Western Conference Finals. On the other hand, the Bulls didn’t even make the playoffs.

Meanwhile, this roster is expensive. The Bulls are built around three veterans who make big money. LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic did not make a good return on the team’s investment.

What should they do next? Should the Bulls blow up their core and rebuild? Perhaps.

Could they take this more moderate measure instead?

Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal

Perhaps the Bulls should rebuild. With that said, this front office has not shown much of an appetite for a long-term process.

When they acquired these veterans, they were not a winning team. The Bulls decided to force the issue. Here, we’ve got them following that trend.

Some might argue that they failed by doubling down on the offensive end. Between LaVine, DeRozan, and Vucevic, there isn’t a lot of stopping power. This deal fixes that.

In fact, it’s got them landing one of the best two-way big men in the NBA.

Davis is also a Chicago native – chances are, the Bulls will be able to retain him if this all works out.

Should the Lakers let them find out?

Warriors Coach Steve Kerr sends veiled criticism to Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga

Warriors Coach Steve Kerr sends veiled criticism to Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga

ARTICLE CONTINUE AFTER THE ADVERTISEMENT

Draymond Green’s podcast has become an unfiltered look behind the scenes of all sorts of NBA conflicts and messy situations. That may not have been the intended focus when Green hosted his head coach, Steve Kerr, on a recent episode but that’s where they landed.

ARTICLE CONTINUE AFTER THE ADVERTISEMENT..... SCROLL DOWN

In talking about the Miami Heat and their NBA Finals run, Kerr contrasted their culture with that of the Warriors and seemed to have someone specific in mind as he talked about players complaining about playing time.

“None of those guys on Miami are sitting there saying, ‘Well, I didn’t play,’ or ‘Man, they put in so-and-so.’ They’re just all about winning. And you know this from our groups that we’ve had, when you have that championship mentality, every guy is bought in, every guy is just trying to win, nobody — nobody cares about any of that stuff. You don’t go in the locker room saying, ‘Well, I should have played more.’ You just wanna win.”

Warriors Coach Steve Kerr sends veiled criticism to Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga

How sure are we that Steve Kerr was talking about Jonathan Kuminga and Jordan Poole?

Kuminga’s playing time, or lack thereof, was a constant sore point across his second season. Kuminga played in three fewer games than his rookie season and racked up several DNP-CDs in the postseason and both he and Poole were accused of ‘pouting’ over their lack of minutes by Chris Broussard.

Poole struggled mightily with his shooting in the playoffs and also saw his minutes cut from 30.0 per game in the regular season to 21.8 in the postseason.

But if you’re still not sure, allow Warriors insider Marcus Thompson to translate.

“It seemed pretty obvious to me. That wasn’t in braille,” Thompson said about Kerr’s comments in a recent appearance on KNBR radio. “I mean, Steph had to give a speech for this reason, in Game 7. You can watch it on the bench, you could see it at times. So, yeah, I don’t think we needed to read into it.”

The Warriors may explore trades for Jordan Poole this offseason but could find the market lacking with his poor postseason performance and weighty contract. Kuminga is a much more appealing trade target but the Warriors may be more interested in keeping him, especially with his inexpensive rookie contract and several more years of team control.

LeBron James is the outright holder of the All-Time scoring record in the NBA. The King surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbars, a record in the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He did so by playing 150 games less than the Hall of Famer. In the next home game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the King gave a speech on his historic feat. He thanked his family, his team, and the Lakers nation for achieving the record in Los Angeles.

In the speech, he pointed out his wife as the real All-Time leading scorer. “My beautiful wife has been, I mean she is the real MVP if you want to be completely honest. She’s actually the All-Time leading scorer.” Said, James. LeBron has maintained a very professional career throughout, without getting involved in any sort of controversies. He is even looked at as the ideal family man when it comes to family.

However, this hasn’t stopped people from accusing James of cheating on his wife. For one, Sofia Franklyn openly accused LeBron of cheating on Savannah by making women sign NDAs on her podcast “Sofia with an F.” This wasn’t the only one who was accused of cheating, in 2020, Ezra Haliti did the same, connecting James’ name with Sofia Jamora. Ezra posted LeBron’s photo on her Instagram account and tagged Jamora.

Carmen Ortega came out with a shocking revelation when LeBron and Savannah were engaged. Ortega claimed that she got invited by LeBron for dinner with his friends. She claimed that James tried to hug her and, was “Trying to be a little more than friends.” said Carmen. However, James and Savannah didn’t respond to any of these allegations.

NBA fans call out LeBron James for allegedly cheating on Savannah James
LeBron being such a popular personality, controversial theories related to him do come up. Fans after listening to LeBron James call his wife, Savannah the real MVP called him a cheater. The couple does not respond or make any comments about such things from the fans. Nonetheless, some fans took to Twitter to label him a cheater.

One fan even Tweeted LeBron James, hitting on Instagram Models by sliding in their DMs. Model Rachel Bush once took a screenshot of James sending her a text on Instagram, “Hey what’s up?” She posted this on Instagram which had the fans questioning James’ relationship with Savannah.

Another fan claimed LeBron James passing out NDAs, as claimed by social media personality, Sofia Franklyn. She accused James of handing out NDAs and supposedly cheating on Savannah. Another fan even went and accused James of using PEDs in his career along with his supposed infidelity.

These allegations about LeBron won’t bother him much as the couple has often stayed away from such allegations. Despite all this, they have never spoken publicly about any of the problems within their marriage. The couple keeps their marriage private and does not let the media interfere with it. Therefore, the claims remain as they are and are nothing more than just allegations.
