NBA Trade Rumors Roundup: Multiple teams interested in Durant, but are the Rockets?

The NBA league office doesn’t want teams announcing extensions or pre-draft trades during the NBA Finals — it wants the focus to be on the court — but that doesn’t slow the rumor mill.

Durant drawing interest from 4-6 teams

It is still expected in league circles that Kevin Durant will be on a new team next season, even if that takes a little time to unfold, as he has to wait for the Giannis Antetokounmpo domino to fall.

There is plenty of interest in the 15-time All-Star, reports Shams Charania of ESPN.

“He is expected to have a robust market of approximately four to six seriously interested teams this offseason, sources said.”

Durant, who will be 37 at the start of next season and is coming off an ankle injury, is still a walking bucket. He averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game last season, shooting 43% from beyond the arc. There are more than a few playoff teams he can help, but he’s going to want a massive two-year extension off of the $54.7 million he is set to make next season, and those numbers give some front offices pause.

Phoenix lowers asking price for Durant. Maybe.

The question isn’t whether Durant will be traded, but where, and how many young players and picks will be heading back to Phoenix.

The Suns — with new GM Brian Greggory in place and owner Mat Ishbia promising to be even more hands-on (yikes) — particularly want to do business with the Rockets because Houston controls Phoenix’s No. 10 pick in the upcoming draft, plus they have a lot of quality young players. The Rockets’ interest in Durant, who will be 37 next season, has been tepid, which has led the Suns to lower their asking price, according to Kelly Iko at The Athletic.

“There is a price where the Rockets would be interested, but with a fear of breaking up their roster for a 36-year-old coming off injury, doubt remains over a deal materializing.”

The idea of a lower asking price was rejected by the well-connected radio host John Gambadoro in Phoenix.

Rockets want to bring back Adams, VanVleet

Whatever happens with potentially trading for a star, Houston has other priorities this offseason, specifically bringing back center Steven Adams (a free agent) and Fred VanVleet ($44.9 million team option), according to Iko’s report at The Athletic. Adams, coming off a bounce-back season (following time missed with a knee injury), could be a target for teams looking for a traditional center (the Lakers, Spurs among others) but “the Rockets are operating under the assumption Adams wants to return — and will continue to speak with his representation about a possible extension, team sources said.”

With VanVleet, don’t be surprised if Houston negotiates an extension at a lower per-year salary but one that goes out for a couple more years, giving VanVleet more money overall and more security with a longer deal. Iko summed it up this way: “The likelihood VanVleet plays for a different team next season is slim, those sources said.”

Is Towns for Durant trade rumor real?

In the wake of the Knicks’ playoff exit, fingers were pointed at two people. One was coach Tom Thibodeau, and now he is out.

The other was Karl-Anthony Towns, whose defensive limitations were on full display in Game 6 against Indiana. That has led to speculation in some quarters of a Durant for KAT trade, most notably from Bill Simmons. This is all just speculation and not reporting at this point — it’s fun to talk about, but is there any smoke here, let alone fire? Probably not.

Logistically the trade is not that hard to pull off even with the tax aprons looming, Towns and Durant have similar salaries, and while a third team may be needed a deal could be found. For the Suns, they make Devin Booker happy by bringing in one of his friends and a fellow Kentucky guy in KAT.

There is one big problem with putting together this trade, one that goes beyond Durant saying in 2019 “players have grown up watching the Knicks suck and they aren’t cool anymore” (the Knicks are cool again). Phoenix wants picks back in any trade, and New York sent all theirs out the door to acquire Mikal Bridges and Towns; they don’t have the picks to make this deal. A third team is not just giving away picks for role players.

Never say never in the NBA, but there are just more logical Durant trades than one to New York.

Rockets still interested in Antetokounmpo

If Houston is going to trade away young talent and picks for a star, they want someone younger and closer to their current core’s timeline. With that, the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo is “still a target” for the Rockets, reports Iko at The Athletic, but then he threw some cold water on the idea:

“…but there has been recent uncertainty in the past week on Antetokounmpo’s actual availability — not to mention the potential asking price Milwaukee would require.”

Antetokounmpo has not told the Bucks he wants a trade. While Houston and San Antonio could put together the kind of offers Milwaukee wants in return, there is a growing school of thought that if Antetokounmpo does ask for a trade he will want to stay in the Eastern Conference, not come out West. While he would make the Rockets an instant title contender, the West still has the 68-win Thunder, the two-time Western Conference finalist Timberwolves with an improving Anthony Edwards, Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets, the LeBron/Doncic Lakers, likely with a new center, the Curry/Butler Warriors, and other quality teams. The road to the Finals is not as daunting in the East.

Dumars says Pelicans “going forward” with Zion

A trade market for Zion Williamson exists, but it was never going to bring back as much as New Orleans would want. Other teams saw his production last season but also saw that he played just 30 games due to injury. Add on the accusations against him in a civil lawsuit and other teams will be hesitant.

Which is why it’s no surprise Pelicans’ decision maker Joe Dumars told Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune that Zion was at the heart of New Orleans’ plans and that they have spent time together.

“We’ve had lunch. Dinner. Watched playoff games together. We’ve done it all. I’ve had some real honest conversations with him. Some real direct and honest conversations. We’re going to go forward with Zion. He’s going to continue to be a focal point here as we go forward.”

Whether Dumars took the job with thoughts of trading Zion or not doesn’t matter, it isn’t going to happen this offseason. The market isn’t where Dumars and the Pelicans would want it (and if Zion plays 65 games and produces like he did last season, would they want to trade him?). You can ignore all the Zion trade talk right now.

Rumor: Would Spurs have interest in Jaylen Brown

Changes are coming to Boston this summer, they are deep into the second apron and with Jayson Tatum’s Achilles rupture next season could be a gap year. Either Jrue Holiday or Derrick White will be traded to save money (my bet would be on Holiday), and they will look for a new home for Kristaps Porzingis.

Could the Celtics go for a total reset and trade Jaylen Brown? Probably not, but nobody is sure exactly how deep Boston wants to go with its changes. Breaking up the Jays after riding with them for years and finally winning a title together seems unlikely, but if Boston is really willing to make next season a gap year and do a total reset, Brown would be available. If Brad Stevens and the Celtics front office decide to explore this idea, look for the San Antonio Spurs to be interested, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated said on NBC Sports Boston’s The Off C’Season YouTube show.

“The team I’d watch the closest with Jaylen Brown is probably the Spurs… “You would get the No. 2 pick back in return. You would get the Devin Vassells, the Keldon Johnsons, future first-round capital. That’s something I’d watch if and when the Giannis Antetokounmpo stuff shakes itself out over the next few weeks.”

There are a lot of “ifs” at play, starting with the Antetokounmpo situation and then what the Celtics are thinking. That said, it’s something to keep an eye on. Antetokounmpo is a better individual player than Brown, but Brown might be a better fit with De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio (and he’s three years younger than the Greek Freak).

2025 NBA Finals odds: Bettor wagers $1.05 million on Oklahoma City Thunder to win series over Indiana Pacers

The 2025 NBA Finals feature one of the most lopsided series in terms of the odds since 1968, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are the biggest finals favorite in franchise history.

One MGM bettor in Las Vegas is clearly a big believer in the Thunder as well, placing a $1.05 million wager Wednesday night on Oklahoma City at -700 odds to beat the Indiana Pacers in the series. The bet would win $150,000.

It’s the largest reported wager on the series so far at legal sportsbooks in the United States.

Oddsmakers are generally rooting for the Thunder in the series, as the big price is prohibitive for too much liability to build up — and the biggest liabilities (the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, etc.) have already been eliminated.

Oklahoma City has struggled against the spread in the playoffs (7-9 ATS), but the young team has come through in the postseason when it’s mattered most — winning a Game 7 against the Denver Nuggets and holding off the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 to go up 3-1 in the Western Conference finals.

Despite the odds, public bettors at BetMGM are backing the Pacers to win the series, with the sportsbook reporting earlier today that 94% of wagers and 85% of the total dollars wagered are on the Pacers (+500) to win the series.

Game 1 is 8:30 p.m. ET Thursday on ABC. The Thunder are 9.5-point favorites, which is the second-largest Game 1 finals spread since 2001.

White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf reaches agreement with Justin Ishbia for future controlling stake

The Chicago White Sox are looking at an ownership change in the near future. The team announced in a press release on Thursday that owner Jerry Reinsdorf has reached an agreement with billionaire investor Justin Ishbia to potentially sell his majority stake as soon as 2029.

According to the release, the “long-term investment agreement” gives Reinsdorf the “option” to sell his controlling stake to Ishbia between 2029 and 2033. Ishbia currently holds a minority stake in the team.

After 2034, Ishbia “will have the option to acquire the controlling interest,” per the release, which hedges the potential sale as “any such future transaction.” The other minority owners would be able to sell to Ishbia once he holds the majority stake.

“Having the incredible opportunity to own the Chicago White Sox and be part of Major League Baseball for nearly 50 years has been a life-changing experience,” Reinsdorf said in the release. “I have always expressed my intent to operate the White Sox as long as I am able and remain committed to returning this franchise to the level of on-field success we all expect and desire.”

Under the agreement, Reinsdorf and his family will still hold full control of the team for at least five more years, until a sale takes place. Reinsdorf has been the White Sox’s chairman since purchasing the team in 1981.

However, as part of the agreement, Ishbia will invest additional money in the White Sox in 2025 and 2026, in part to help pay down the team’s debt, per the release.

In addition to his White Sox stake, Ishbia, the brother of Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury controlling owner Mat Ishbia, also holds minority stakes in the two Phoenix teams, and in MLS team Nashville SC. Per Thursday’s announcement, Mat and Jeff Ishbia, their father, will also be “significant investors.”

Up until February of this year, Justin Ishbia was pursuing a bid to own the Twins, but he shifted gears toward Chicago, where he’s a partner in a private equity firm.

It’s been a tough several years for the White Sox under Reinsdorf’s leadership: Since winning the World Series in 2005, Chicago has made the playoffs three times and has had only five winning seasons. Last year, the White Sox set a new MLB record with 121 losses in a particularly brutal losing season — though one that the Colorado Rockies are on pace to pass.

On May 30, former President Joe Biden made his first public remarks since announcing his diagnosis of aggressive, Stage 4 prostate cancer, which has metastasized to his bones. Speaking after a veterans memorial event in Delaware, Biden said he feels “good” and “optimistic” about his prognosis and treatment, which involves different medications. He stated, “The expectation is, we’re going to be able to beat this… it’s not in any organ. My bones are strong. It hasn’t penetrated so I’m feeling good,” and emphasized that his family was also optimistic.

This appearance marked Biden’s first public comments since his diagnosis was revealed earlier in May.

Biden also addressed the 10th anniversary of his son Beau’s death from brain cancer, expressing gratitude for the support he and his family have received.

NYC mayoral candidates weigh in on Knicks’ Tom Thibodeau firing during debate

Aspiring New York City mayoral candidates mostly agreed that the New York Knicks were wrong for firing head coach Tom Thibodeau. Bronx Assemblyman Michael Blake thought otherwise. 

Eight candidates vying for the highest seat at City Hall participated in the Democratic Mayor Debate on Wednesday. During a rapid-fire “thumbs up, thumbs down” section of the debate, Thibodeau’s dismissal was mentioned. 

Joining Blake in the debate were former Governor Andrew Cuomo, State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, former City Comptroller Scott Stringer, Brooklyn State Senator Zellnor Myrie, Queens State Senator Jessica Ramos and former hedge fund manager Whitney Tillson. 

While his opposition voted down the firing, Blake gave a thumbs-up and said, “Our goal is to win the Finals, not to get to the Conference Finals.” 

Despite leading the Knicks to their first Conference Finals appearance in 25 years, Thibodeau was relieved of his duties. His dismissal came two days after they lost to the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on May 30.

The Knicks had a strong season, finishing third in the East with a 51-31 record. The team took down the Detroit Pistons and dethroned the Boston Celtics, both in six games, before running into Indiana. The Pacers derailed what would have been the Knicks’ first NBA Finals appearance since 1999 — a chance to compete for their first title since 1973. 

As the mayoral race continues, so does the Knicks’ coaching search. Michael Malone, Mike Brown, Darvin Hamm and Jeff Van Gundy have all mentioned as possible replacements. 

NBA Finals predictions! Who will be champion: Pacers or Thunder? And who will win Finals MVP?

The

Titus: Tyrese Haliburton. Mr. Statistician Face Man mentioned Hali’s underwhelming performances against the Thunder the past two seasons. If that trend bleeds into the NBA Finals, are we sure Haliburton’s beaten the overrated allegations? I disagree with the narrative, but a poor showing would give the haters more ammo to reignite that asinine conversation. For all the signature moments he’s provided this postseason, I’m anticipating he’ll rise to the occasion and continue silencing the critics against one of the best defenses we’ve seen in a very long time.

Haberstroh: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but if I’m being honest, it’s hard to drum up do-or-die stakes when these teams are so young and have such bright futures ahead of them. With that said, the Pacers are playing with house money right now, so the pressure is all on the Thunder to deliver after winning 68 games with the MVP. If SGA wins a title, the volume on the foul merchant chants won’t hit the same decibels next season.

Goodwill: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the MVP, the league’s scoring leader and, let me repeat, MVP by a wide margin. The last reigning MVP to get to the Finals and lose was Stephen Curry in 2016. And remember those jokes, the 3-1 cookies and the like? People still bring that up. Nobody bags on Allen Iverson for 2001. He was lauded for that one-game performance. But Karl Malone in 1997? A big topper in Michael Jordan’s legacy. It’s too early for the legacy stuff, seriously. But reputation? It will be solidified as the league’s top big-game player, the foul merchant stuff will quiet, and entering the club of champions is far more important than most can imagine.

Devine: It’s tough to go too heavy into legacy talk with so many of the principles here still so young, with so much runway ahead of them … so let’s go with Rick Carlisle. Only 14 coaches in NBA history have won multiple championships, and only three (Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Alex Hannum) have led more than one franchise to the promised land. No observer with a pulse and two eyes can doubt the impact Carlisle has had on winning throughout his tenures in Detroit, Dallas and Indiana; a second ring, though, would put him in historically exclusive company.

Devine: Chet Holmgren. I wrote all about why in our series preview, but the CliffsNotes: He didn’t play in either regular-season matchup against Indiana, and whom he guards, who guards him and the downstream effects of those two decisions will represent pretty major tactical questions on both sides of the floor. If he can limit Pascal Siakam and keep turning the paint into a no-fly zone, I’m not sure how Indiana scores enough to win this series; if he struggles as much as literally every other defender has with Siakam and gets drawn out of the paint, then the Pacers might have a pathway.

Rohrbach: Andrew Nembhard. It sounds like he will draw the initial defensive assignment on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. During the regular season, he spent 70 possessions defending SGA in their two matchups, according to the NBA’s tracking data. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 27 points on 11-of-18 shooting (61%), as the Thunder scored 124.3 points per 100 possessions in that span. Not good. And after what he expends on defense, can Nembhard give the Pacers anything on offense? On a handful of occasions, he has scored 17+ points in these playoffs. In another handful, he has scored single digits. Which Nembhard shows up?

[NBA Finals preview: Pacers-Thunder key matchups, schedule, X-factors and prediction]

Haberstroh: Lu Dort. The All-Defensive First Team member has averaged 18.8 points per game against the Pacers over the last two seasons, which is actually more than the All-Star he was tasked to guard, Haliburton. A lot will hinge on his ability to knock down open shots and lock down Haliburton. If he averages 18.8 points per game in the Finals and neutralizes Haliburton, I low-key could see an Iguodala-esque Finals MVP future.

Goodwill: Myles Turner. The bigs in Minnesota struggled with the length, aggressiveness and speed of Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. Turner was in foul trouble in three of the six conference finals games, and even though he doesn’t always score big, he has to be an athletic presence on offense and deterrent on defense. He has to make SGA at least think, for a beat, as opposed to giving him free access everywhere. If he’s the inside-outside monster who dominates his matchup, that’s a significant flex for the Pacers.

Titus: Aaron Nesmith. Whether defending Jalen Williams or SGA, Nesmith’s switchability is key to disrupting any flow of OKC’s potent offense. Offensively, Nesmith’s elite 3-point shooting in the postseason, specifically from the corner, could offset the Thunder’s suffocating defense. As great as OKC’s defense is, the Thunder’s constant ball pressure can sometimes leave them vulnerable on weak-side rotations. That’s an opportunity for the hot-shooting Pacers and Nesmith to take advantage.

Titus: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. It’s all eyes on the MVP, as SGA will set the tone for the series from the outset. In their two regular-season matchups, SGA averaged 39 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 stocks on 56% shooting from the field. He hasn’t missed a beat through three rounds and he ain’t stopping on the NBA’s biggest stage.

Goodwill: Lu Dort. He plays football and at times, can be reckless going for loose balls. Defending Haliburton will be his main task, and unlike Anthony Edwards, Haliburton isn’t the same physical specimen, so getting pushed around won’t be looked at so kindly. But yes, sticking his chest into everybody will be a story after Game 1.

Devine: Alex Caruso. People really like talking about Alex Caruso.

Rohrbach: The Thunder’s defense. They are historically great, and it is a sight to see. They swarm, forcing a ton of turnovers and turning them into easy, entertaining transition opportunities. It is the most jarring part of watching them, other than the brilliance of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Between Lu Dort, Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso — and even Gilgeous-Alexander — Oklahoma City has waves of point-of-attack defenders to throw at Tyrese Haliburton. In the first of their games during the regular season, the Thunder held him to his lowest usage rate of the season. In the other, the Thunder limited him to three assists. Replicate anything close to either of those accomplishments, and the Pacers have no chance.

Haberstroh: Chet Holmgren. He didn’t play in the regular-season matchups against Indiana, and he’s been much better at home than on the road this postseason. There’s a good chance he’ll be the story coming off his Western Conference finals run. I could see him sliding over at center especially if Indiana goes zone. He’s critical to everything they do.

Haberstroh: Thunder in 5. My head is telling me it’s gonna be a sweep, but my heart won’t let me go there. The villainous Pacers will get hot and torch OKC from deep to steal one game, but I’m going with my preseason pick, the Thunder, in a quick one. SGA wins the first clean sweep of MVP and Finals MVP since LeBron James in 2012-13.

Titus: Thunder in 6. The Pacers will show resilience and steal a couple of games with their depth and coaching adjustments, but OKC’s brilliance will ultimately prevail. It’s only fitting that SGA concludes this historic year by becoming the fourth player in NBA history to win the scoring title, MVP and Finals MVP in the same season.

(Henry Russell/Yahoo Sports Illustration)

Rohrbach: Thunder in … 4. With all due respect to the Pacers, the watered-down Eastern Conference has met its match in a 68-win juggernaut. Give Gilgeous-Alexander his Finals MVP, and call it a summer.

Devine:Read the preview! It’s all in there! OK, fine: Thunder in 6, and SGA caps off a season for the ages by adding Finals MVP hardware to his regular-season and Western Conference finals MVP trophies.

Goodwill: Thunder in 5. It’s not disrespect to the Pacers. It’s just the Thunder are that damn good and those 68 wins weren’t by accident. They graduated by beating the Nuggets in the seven-game slugfest. Now, it’s time to turn those tassels over, with Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way as the Finals MVP. It’s OKC’s time.

Fantasy Baseball Weekend Preview: Lots of options on both the hitting and pitching side

On both the hitting and pitching side, there are plenty of great streamers for the weekend. The Mets should score many runs in Colorado, and several of their regulars are widely available. The Rangers and Mariners can also chip in plenty of great streamer options.

There are several starting pitchers to stream, and I would feel comfortable deploying the top five hurlers on the list in any league, led by Michael Wacha. Let’s unpack the details:

Mets @ Rockies: Adding players from the Mets is an easy call this weekend, as they will roll into offense-inducing Coors Field to face a Rockies pitching staff that has logged a 5.93 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP at home. Any player who is getting regular playing time is worth a look in 12-team leagues, and that list includes Brett Baty (15%), Francisco Alvarez (18%) and Jeff McNeil (3%). Recently recalled infielder Ronny Mauricio (15%) offers a nice combination of weekend value and long-term upside.

Rangers @ Nationals: The Rangers could show signs of life in their disappointing offense when they face three Washington starters with an ERA over 4.70 and a bullpen with a 5.87 ERA. Josh Smith (16%) has been hitting leadoff, making him an excellent player to add. Jake Burger (47%) is among the best options in this entire article since he blends weekend potential with long-term upside.

A’s vs. Orioles: The Athletics should fare well offensively when they play three games at home against mediocre right-handed starters and a relief corps with a 5.19 ERA. With all three starters throwing from the right side, left-handed outfielder JJ Bleday (11%) is the most obvious player to add. On the other side of the same series, the Orioles could succeed against a pair of mediocre lefties and a right-handed starter (Luis Severino) who has struggled at home. After all, the A’s have allowed 75 earned runs in their past eight games. The top Baltimore players to add are switch-hitter Dylan Carlson (1%) and righty bats Coby Mayo (5%) and Ramon Urías (1%).

Mariners @ Angels: Teams are having great success against the Angels of late, as their rotation lacks reliable arms and the bullpen sits 28th in baseball with a 5.75 ERA. Jorge Polanco (36%) could break out of a recent slump, while veteran J.P. Crawford (10%) and rookie Cole Young (6%) are options in deep leagues.

White Sox vs. Royals: Chicago rarely provides fantasy managers with offensive help, and this weekend could be especially dire when it faces three starters who each have an ERA below 3.50. Roto managers may wish to start Luis Robert Jr. for his steals potential, but he could hurt teams more than he helps. The rest of the lineup is not worthy of consideration.

Blue Jays @ Twins: Toronto’s mediocre offense will be in for tough sledding this weekend when the Twins deploy two effective starters (Chris Paddack, Joe Ryan) and an intriguing youngster (David Festa). Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette are the only two Blue Jays who should remain in most lineups.

[Smarter waivers, better trades, optimized lineups — Yahoo Fantasy Plus unlocks it all]

Pirates vs. Phillies: This is a bad weekend to expect Pittsburgh’s underwhelming offense to find a spark, as it will take on three Philadelphia starters who each have an ERA under 3.20. On the other side of the same matchup, Phillies hitters who struggle against lefties, such as J.T. Realmuto, Bryson Stott, Brandon Marsh and Max Kepler could have a quiet weekend, as the Pirates will start southpaws on Friday and Saturday before deploying right-handed ace Paul Skenes on Sunday.

Nationals vs. Rangers: The Nats have had some good offensive games of late, but they may take a step back when they face three Rangers starters who have respective ERAs of 3.71, 2.34 and 2.02. James Wood and CJ Abrams are the only players who must remain in lineups, although Luis García Jr. will get the nod in some leagues.

Daniel Palencia, Cubs, 45%: This will be my last chance to use Palencia in this space, as his roster rate should climb to 70% in the next week. The 25-year-old has been outstanding this season (1.74 ERA, 0.77 WHIP), and he has collected as many saves (5) as anyone in baseball since May 21. It’s hard to believe that managers can grab the closer on the team with the third-best record in baseball.

José Caballero, Rays, 36%: The Rays will likely rack up many steals this weekend when they face a Marlins team that has allowed 19 more swipes than any other team. Caballero, who sits fifth in baseball with 19 steals, figures to lead the way on the basepaths, while outfielders Jake Mangum (6%) and Kameron Misner (2%) could swipe a base as well.

In order, here are the best streamers for the weekend, with their start date and Yahoo roster rate in parentheses.

  • Hayden Birdsong vs. ATL (Friday, 37)
