Pat McAfee: “LeBron James want to play up to two more seasons & obviously the Lakers want to bring him back.. They do have interest in bringing Bronny in as a draft pick” @ShamsCharania #PMSLive

What is the possibility that Philadelphia brings Tobias Harris back to the team on a team-friendly deal because of his versatility on defense alone? —@TheReal_MD28 Keith Pompey: Great question, man. I’ll never say never, but it would be shocking to see Harris return. As one of the top free agents, he’ll have plenty of suitors willing to pay him more than what the Sixers intend to offer him. With that said, I strongly believe Harris’ tenure in Philly is over.

Will Guillory: When you look around the league, that Cleveland situation is an interesting one, whether it’s Donovan Mitchell. I think Jarrett Allen is another guy the Pelicans would be interested in for their center position. I’m just not completely sold that there are a lot of great options out there where the Pelicans can trade Ingram and feel like they’re making an upgrade over the team they have right now.

Michael Scotto: Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram is considered the most likely player to be traded by rival executives who spoke with HoopsHype. Those executives believe the fit with Ingram and Zion isn’t ideal on the court. With Ingram entering the final season of his contract at $36 million, he’s been a trade candidate before, but he’s a prime trade candidate now.

Michael Scotto: There’s a sense Jonas Valanciunas won’t return as a Pelican this offseason in free agency, I’m told. Valanciunas essentially split center minutes with Larry Nance Jr. this season and was benched often to close games. When Zion is healthy and playing, Valanciunas occupies the paint and clogs driving lanes for Zion. While he’s still a double-double threat, he’s not an ideal fit for this roster, and his near double-double production will likely be more valued by other teams on the unrestricted free-agent market.

Will Guillory: With his size, 3-point shooting, and athleticism, I think he can definitely get a big number. I think you want to be smart about what that means for the rest of the roster. I definitely don’t think he’s a max guy or anything like that, but over the $100 million mark, I think there is no question. Michael Scotto: I don’t think he takes an extension for $20 million a year. If this is going to be a real conversation, you’re Murphy, and you’re betting on yourself, and you think you’re going to have a breakout year... Читать дальше...

Will Guillory: I think Naji Marshall is going to be an interesting character going into the offseason. They’re pretty much sold that he’s leaving because they’ve got all these other financial situations going on. He’s going to try and get paid this summer after coming in as an undrafted free agent and former two-way guy. He really proved a lot this season as a defender and played well in that first-round series. He had some teams sniffing around, seeing how much value he had during the trade deadline.

Michael Scotto: The Pelicans are going to build around Zion Williamson. I’m told the Pelicans recognize this roster around Zion is a little bit disjointed. I’ve heard New Orleans will seek positional upgrades to improve their spacing and not bring in someone who clogs the paint and is in Zion’s way. When I talk to executives and scouts around the league about this, I remember one scout said to me, “The Zion you saw at the end of the season is the guy that can take the Pelicans far. They wouldn’t... Читать дальше...

Michael Scotto: This is what I’ve been told regarding CJ McCollum’s future. While he’s not untouchable, he’s viewed as the grown-up in the room for a young Pelicans squad, providing stability on the court and a good locker room presence for the team. I think that’s going to be a guy whose name you’ll hear come up in trade talks, but for those reasons I mentioned, I don’t know if they will move him. Will Guillory: He’s the typical example of a guy who’s more valuable to the Pelicans than others. Читать дальше...

Will Guillory: The Pelicans were also having conversations with Atlanta going into the trade deadline about potentially Dejounte Murray and maybe one of their bigs. I think that’s another team to keep an eye on.

What’s your contract situation? Mike Conley: I signed a two-year extension. So after this year, I have next year and the following year is a partial guarantee. Independent of the contract status, you are at that age where guys have some vision of how long they will do it. What’s the current outlook on that front? Mike Conley: Before I signed the extension, it was like, ‘Man, it could be this year, it could be next year, it could be any year.’ But then as I played this year out, I was like, ‘Man...

Chad Ochocinco Johnson threw flames on the speculation with recent comments he made on a podcast, when the former NFL receiver said that Durant talked to him about joining the Miami Heat. “What makes you think he’d want to go to Miami now?” Shannon Sharpe asked Johnson on the Nightcap podcast. “Because I talked to him,” Johnson replied. “I talked to KD and I know KD is going to see this and KD can attest to this. You can talk about it tomorrow on First Take. KD and I had a lengthy conversation. Читать дальше...

Hield is certainly willing to try, saying after Game 6 that he would “like to be in Philly again.” “They traded for me,” Hield said. “I feel like they wanted me, too. To me, I looked at it as I came to the party late. I think you guys understand what I’m saying. There was a lot of injuries. Before I was here, the team was rolling . … “Right now, Philly is the priority for me.”

“Right now, my head is focused on the Olympics,” said Batum, referencing his long-standing role with the French national team. Embiid wants Batum back, interrupting that postgame 6 question with “you’re coming back to the Sixers.” Nurse, meanwhile, has long appreciated Batum’s defensive versatility. He also possesses underrated skills, such as post-entry and inbounds passing, to go along with his nearly 40% three-point shooting. He averaged 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game this season, while toggling between a starting and reserve role. Читать дальше...

Draymond Green: “Jokic won his third MVP in his fourth season, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the runner-up. Was it the right decision? Jokic is undeniably great, but the way Shai finished the season, particularly with the race for the number one seed, was impressive. It seemed to matter when Jokic secured the top seed, but not as much when Shai did. While I’m not saying Shai should have won, I believe the voting should have been closer. Many voters make up their minds too early, which is difficult to change. Читать дальше...

Draymond Green: “No one expected Jaylen to be this. When he signed his deal, right around four years, $100 million, everybody thought he was overpaid. People asked, ‘Do they think he’s going to be a number one option?’ They thought it was just a favor due to his connections with the Knicks organization. Jalen has made everyone look like idiots.”

Michael Scotto: Jayson Tatum on expectations for the Celtics: “That’s the narrative you might see on TV, the idea that we have a super team. It’s twofold. We didn’t have the Coach of the Year or MVP. We only had two All-Stars. They say we’re a super team, but we didn’t get rewarded like we are.” pic.twitter.com/kWhHv4afDM
