NBA Courtside: Dillon Brooks says Russell Westbrook play style is hard to coach: “His play style is so different. It’s hard to coach. He needs the ball. He has to have the ball in his hands”

Heat Central: Dillon Brooks with high praise for Giannis Antetokounmpo: “There’s nothing you can hate about Giannis. The media always tries to find things to hate on him, or discredit him, you can’t. He’s had a crazy story, good person, freak of nature, and he’s really good at the game and what he does.”

Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has made headlines ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season after details of his new relationship with supermodel Irina Shayk emerged. The news comes as Booker prepares for another season as the face of the Suns following his two-year, $145 million contract extension and amid growing discussion about Phoenix's reshaped roster featuring Jalen Green. According to PEOPLE, Booker and Shayk have been spending time together this summer after being introduced by mutual friends. The relationship arrives during a busy offseason for Booker, who is expected to lead the Suns into training camp while adjusting to Phoenix's evolving offensive identity. A source told PEOPLE, "It's very new, but they like each other a lot."

During the 2026/27 league year, only one NBA player will have a formal no-trade clause in his contract. That player is Damian Lillard, who negotiated a no-trade clause into his deal with the Trail Blazers last summer. LeBron James and Bradley Beal had no-trade clauses in their respective contracts in recent years, but Beal gave his up when he agreed to a buyout with the Suns during the 2025 offseason, and James no longer has one after his contract with the Lakers expired this summer. LeBron would have been eligible for a no-trade clause if he had rejoined the Cavaliers or Heat in free agency, but since he hasn’t played for Philadelphia before, he couldn’t add one to his new contract with the Sixers.

Mike Vorkunov: The 2nd round pick the 76ers sent to the Clippers in the Johni Broome trade: The second most favorable between (1) the most favorable of Houston/Indiana/Miami/Oklahoma City, (2) the most favorable of Golden State/Phoenix, or (3) Philadelphia’s own 2027 second-round pick.

But in Lee’s first interview since the official completion of all of the Hornets’ offseason moves, he laughed off the suggestion he wasn’t aware of the wheeling and dealing of Jeff Peterson, Charlotte’s president of basketball operations. “Yeah, I would say I was not caught off guard by it,” Lee told The Charlotte Observer. “I think one of the great things about our organization is that there’s always really good communication amongst all departments and groups. And I think that’s what Jeff does so well, is that he wants to communicate and collaborate with people. “And ultimately, he has to make some tough decisions to help our basketball team and our organization be in the best place to flourish and try to be the premier sports franchise.”

Dillon Brooks on the viral meme of him laughing at LeBron James from the stands: What’s funny is I got a ticket [for the game] from Rich Paul…. It’s a good meme. He was talking to a LA fan, he was like ‘I know you throwing shade at me. I know, I know.’ So I’m looking at him like ‘oh my god he’s really worried about this fan right here? You’re down 3-0 now.’ I’m just cracking up. I’m telling my agent on the side ‘damn he’s really focused on the wrong sh*t right now.’

Bridges said he was grateful to the Hornets for giving him a second chance after his legal issues. He said it's his job to not only earn the trust of the fans but also his new teammates. "I definitely want to earn the trust of my teammates first," Bridges said. "Making the locker room comfortable, having guys that want to be around me ... is huge. And that definitely goes into on-the-court stuff."
