On a recent Yahoo! Sports Ball Don’t Lie podcast episode, Jake Fischer mentioned Clippers coach Tyronn Lue could remove himself from the situation at a certain point in time.

The question of what Brunson deserves didn’t begin in New York; it came up in Dallas, too, which ultimately led to his departure. “I can’t say anything bad about Dallas,” Jalen Brunson told B/R, “but obviously I wish things would’ve happened differently.”

Prior to the 2021-22 season, he was eligible for a four-year, $55.5 million extension. It was an offer Jalen Brunson’s camp would have accepted if the Mavericks made it, sources tell B/R. In January 2022, his representatives tried to initiate dialogue on getting a deal done, but the Mavericks resisted. Brunson began cementing himself as the second-best player on the team behind Luka Dončić. And after the February trade deadline, the team contacted Brunson about agreeing to the same four-year,...

“From the outside looking in, they don’t know,” Davis said of his perceived bad body language. “It’s not for them to know seriously, but me and Bron are fine. You can tell when we had our moments, for sure. But I think it’s people just looking for a story.” He was unwavering in describing their bond. “Me and Bron have one of the best relationships I think in the NBA as far as duos or teammates, regardless,” Davis said. “But they don’t see that. They don’t see the stuff we do off the court and time we hang out with each other. Читать дальше...

Jake Fischer: The Clippers are a team that is at least one that looks like it has a question mark of who will be comprising this, you know, a chance to compete for a title. If that is still the goal, which it seems like will be moving forward next season, whether that’s in the front office… Ty Lue, as respected head coach as they come, but there has been chatter, let’s say about potentially him, in theory, removing himself from the situation at a certain point in time.

Did you guys hear the tanking expectations, and what was the team’s reaction? Ochai Agbaji: Just like the standings, it’s kind of hard not to pay attention to stuff like that when that’s frontline news, and you hear it and see it in some places. I think that gave everyone a chip on their shoulder early on in the season that we’ve kind of carried on. We still have that chip on our shoulder now every night going out there, competing, and playing hard no matter what. It (chip on the shoulder) was more collective. Читать дальше...

At the moment, Davis is listed as probable to play on Friday. He is still dealing with a right foot stress injury, but given how he’s been a regular on the injury report for the Lakers, only a considerable unforeseen setback is going to prevent him from suiting up against OKC.

Andrew Greif: At the end of a 2-3 week window of rest, Paul George will be re-evaluated and his mobility will be tested. From there, how quickly he can return depends on mobility and how he feels. Was told a return by George for a first-round series might be overly optimistic.
