- Pelicans fans, breathe easy. Anthony Davis will leave something special just for you as he exits: "I will always have love for the city of NO. When that time comes I am going to definitely have a heartwarming message for them and put it out on Instagram like everybody else does."
- Gilbert Arenas once checked into the hotel at All-Star weekend and when the receptionist asked what alias he wanted, he looked at her funny and said, "I don't want an alias. Any woman who comes in here wanting to go to Gilbert Arenas' room, send them up!" (Edited for language.)
- Sources tell me Patrick Beverley--a sensible FA target of the Bulls and Lakers--will be taking meetings with as many as 5 teams BEFORE meeting with the Clippers in 2 weeks. Clippers will be chasing max-type FAs, but Beverley won't necessarily wait on an offer from them, I'm told.
- One name to keep an eye on to join LeBron James with the @Lakers , a source noted: Former @MiamiHEAT teammate Chris Bosh, who is seeking a return to the league after leaving the game as he was dealing with blood clots.
- I don't know how you could watch the last 7 minutes of Celtics-Lakers on Thursday and not understand why Boston got the best available veteran it could sign on Friday.
- Who's Sean Deanvey?The #Celtics are willing to give loads of future assets in attempt to package Brandon Ingram in a deal, the goal is to receive Ingram “before the deadline”, per Sean Deanvey.
- Asked a GM abt LaMarcus Aldridge trade value. Said, "Fact he wants out of San Antonio says a lot about whether you want him on your team."
- These 2 kids in Kyrie Irving jerseys keep complaining that they can't see because their view is blocked ... by Kyrie Irving
- My niece is big on @HillaryClinton so she marched in the 4th of July parade as a girl in the White House.
- -- Kyrie Irving was miserable. -- Al Horford got $110 million and BOS did not want to pay him that. The team that did just dumped him to OKC. -- Hayward did not have a role with Tatum and Brown's development. There, assessment over.As an aside, I think it’s time for Danny Ainge to assess why the Celtics keep losing free agents.
- BREAKING NEWS from @SteveBHoop ... Source tells @HeavyOnSports that Kevin Durant will meet with @BrooklynNets owner Joe Tsai this week as his request for a trade has reached a stalemate. Full story:
