The Dallas Mavericks are—in every way, shape, and form—down bad.

In addition to fan ire and economic fallout following the trade of superstar Luka Doncic, the team's roster is littered with injuries at the minute, so much so there are concerns they might have to forfeit games if circumstances fall a certain way. There are ways of getting around that; for example, the team could dress and activate an injured player who would never come off the bench. But, with just about $50,000 of room under the first apron hard cap, the front office doesn't have the space to sign anyone new right now, which is also a problem.

Seemingly to that effect, the team has actually asked

Full text on the Suns:

It likely doesn't. You'd never rule anything out in the NBA, but it also is clear that both the Suns and Durant are contemplating a future apart.

The Suns have a failing and hugely expensive big three, and that's untenable in the apron era. Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker will make a combined $150 million next season, the most expensive trio in the league, and they're not working together.

Beal has a no-trade clause, and he made it very clear he doesn't intend to waive it. Booker is deemed untouchable and doesn't want to leave. That leaves the options as status quo or trading Durant as part of a roster restructurin

Original Title: [Windhorst] The Lakers are under immense pressure to sign Luka Dončić to an extension. Dončić currently has “no incentive” to re-sign with LA: “He never said, ‘I wanna be a Laker.’ There are dozens of players over the years who have made it crystal clear they wanna be Lakers. Luka never said that.”

Imagine he actually leaves and signs elsewhere

Original Title: [Windhorst] When Butler first came to the Heat in summer 2019... [Riley] asked Butler who the most talented player he ever played with was. Butler answered quickly: Wiggins... Five years later, they were traded for each other.

There was an irony to this. When Butler first came to the Heat in summer 2019, Butler was in Riley's office celebrating the signing of the four-year, $142 million deal that landed him in Miami. The two men cracked open a bottle of Screaming Eagle cabernet from Riley's personally curated wine cellar inside the Heat offices. Riley was telling stories, and he asked Butler who the most talented player he

Original Title: [Windhorst] There was a trade in place between Golden State, Phoenix, and Miami that would have sent Kevin Durant to the Warriors, Jimmy Butler to the Suns, and Andrew Wiggins to the Heat, but Durant stepped in to shut it down, causing the Warriors to pivot to getting Jimmy Butler themselves.

Despite a flurry of reporting that teams around the NBA are checking in with the Phoenix Suns regarding a potential Kevin Durant trade, it appears his options have been whittled down to two possibilities, as ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported on Wednesday's NBA Today—staying with the Suns or being traded to the Miami Heat in exchange for Jimmy Buler.

"If I had to guess right now—admitting that things are changing—I would say that he either stays in Phoenix or he's on the Miami Heat by tomorrow afternoon," Windhorst noted.

Windhorst states that IF a Durant-Warriors deal is made, it could have 3-5 teams and have over a dozen players, including Butler involved.

Seem like another mega trade is in the works if this is the case. Been a ton of smoke on this potential trade and the Warriors pivoting from a Chicago trade too.

Original Title: [Windhorst] From my discussions with the league—I think some teams that thought they were out of this are coming back in because it doesn't look like the Suns & Heat are going to be able to consummate a deal. I think we might see a team swoop in & get Jimmy at a bargain price.

The Suns traded their 2031 second-round draft pick to the Hornets as part of this week's Richards trade. Let's pause for just a moment to note that since Mat Ishbia acquired controlling ownership in the Suns on trade deadline day in 2023, and then immediately acquired Durant, he now has overseen the trade of eight consecutive years of the Suns' second-round picks (2023 to 2031).

Since Ishbia arrived, the Suns have also traded four first-round picks and five first-round pick swaps. If that math doesn't look quite correct, note the Suns found a way to trade two swaps on their 2026 first-rounder. (It might be the most complicated pick ma

As West coaches and executives grow exasperated looking at what records might qualify for the postseason in the East, they're floating a concept. The NBA is slowly moving toward expansion, perhaps 2-3 years from now, with Seattle and Las Vegas as the top candidates. If that happens, there will potentially be a battle between the Mississippi River teams (the Minnesota Timberwolves, Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans) to be the "fortunate" one to move East to balance the conferences at 16 clubs apiece.

Instead of dealing with that thorny competition, West executives told ESPN they believe both issues can be corrected by dropping conferences altogethe
