A-Rod, Lore eyed Wolves payroll cuts, concerning Taylor

As part of a failed process to assume majority ownership, Minnesota Timberwolves minority partners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez submitted financial projections forecasting a sizable retreat in roster payroll that majority owner Glen Taylor considered would jeopardize the franchise’s ability to compete for a championship, sources told ESPN. In documents shared with Taylor, the NBA and The Carlyle Group, a private equity firm, Lore and Rodriguez rendered a budget projection as potential majority owners that would’ve lowered the Timberwolves’ payroll to $171 million starting next season — below the projected $172 million luxury tax threshold, sources told ESPN. The Timberwolves would’ve gone […]

‘Confident’ Lakers finally see rise in standings after win

The Lakers are playing their best basketball in months as the NBA schedule enters the final week of the regular season. And after Saturday’s 116-97 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, they finally have something to show for it. The victory, which was L.A.’s ninth in its past 10 games, moved the Lakers up to No. 8 in the Western Conference standings — the best position they’ve been since Dec. 29th when they were 17-15. Now 45-33 with four games left, L.A. does not sound like a team barely eking its way into the playoff picture. “We’re very confident in our ballclub,” Anthony Davis said after […]

Suns suffer ‘unacceptable’ loss vs. Victor Wembanyama-less Spurs

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal didn’t mince words on Monday night following a disappointing performance. The Suns, two days removed from defeating the San Antonio Spurs by 25, played the same team in the same arena, and this time the Spurs were missing star rookie Victor Wembanyama. Yet the Spurs flipped the script with a 104-102 triumph. “It’s disappointment,” Beal told reporters after the game. “We came in here and laid an egg. We thought it was going to be easy with no Wemby. Just got our ass kicked. They came out aggressive, just like Coach told us they would, and we didn’t respond. Well, we did, but […]

Hornets to trade Gordon Hayward to Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder fortified their roster for a playoff push by getting Gordon Hayward from the Charlotte Hornets for guards Tre Mann and Vasilije Micic and forward Davis Bertans, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Hornets also will receive draft compensation in the deal, sources said. Hayward is averaging 14.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game this season for the Hornets, although he hasn’t played since Dec. 26 because of a left calf issue. Injuries have been a constant issue for Hayward for years, as he has played 52 or fewer matches in each of the past five seasons, including 25 games this season. Looking for the […]

Surging Oklahoma City Thunder hold off Boston Celtics

Add another contender to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s list of impressive recent conquests. The Thunder built a big lead over Boston and held off a late comeback bid for a 127-123 win Tuesday night over the Celtics, owners of the NBA’s best record. Oklahoma City has gained eight of its past nine games, putting the Thunder second in the Western Conference at 23-9. That span has featured victories over elite competition, including the first-place teams from both conferences (the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Celtics) and the defending champion Denver Nuggets, who Oklahoma City beat twice on the road. “That’s a talented young team, and I don’t believe this […]

Blazers deal Damian Lillard to Bucks in blockbuster 3-team deal

The Portland Trail Blazers traded guard Damian Lillard to play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo with the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a three-team deal that also involves the Phoenix Suns, the teams revealed Wednesday. Portland receives Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, Milwaukee’s 2029 unprotected first-round draft pick, and unprotected Milwaukee swap rights in 2028 and 2030, the teams stated in their release. The Suns receive Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson as part of the trade package. The Blazers remain engaged elsewhere on deals and are expected to immediately engage contending teams on trade talks to move on Holiday, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal comes months after Lillard formally requested to be traded […]

Warriors president-general manager Bob Myers steps down

Golden State’s Bob Myers, a two-time executive of the year and architect of four NBA championships with the Warriors, is stepping down as the franchise’s president and general manager. “It’s just time,” Myers told ESPN. Myers, whose contract expires in late June, declined ownership offers on a new deal that would’ve paid him among the league’s top-earning executives, he stated. Myers described the decision-making process that led him to leave the franchise after 12 years as including several factors beyond money. Myers, 48, said he’s unsure of his future professional pathway, but should he someday decide to return to the […]

Lakers outshined by Nuggets again in clutch, face 3-0 deficit

For the third time in as many games in the Western Conference finals, the outcome was up for grabs in the fourth quarter, and the Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t complete the task. Saturday’s 119-108 loss to the Denver Nuggets to fall behind 3-0 in the series might have contained different details than L.A.’s two defeats to start the series, but the general theme was the same: The West’s No. 1 seed did more when it mattered most. Now one loss away from their season being over, the Lakers, who started the season 2-10 and completely overhauled the roster just before the All-Star break, are […]

Thunder oust Pelicans in play-in, to face Wolves for 8-seed

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had been here before. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard had been in big situations and the playoffs before and had a poise about him Wednesday night when his team traveled to New Orleans as the No. 10 seed to take on the Pelicans. “When your leader is not flustered and under control out there, it’s a spiral effect,” Thunder guard Josh Giddey said. “Guys see that and feed off it.” After one of his worst first halves of the season statistically, Gilgeous-Alexander had 25 second-half points and led the Thunder to a 123-118 victory to let Oklahoma City to play for the No. 8 seed in […]
