Pistons Notes: Dosunmu, Duren, Thompson, Cunningham, Okorie
The Pistons pursued Ayo Dosunmu at the trade deadline, but the asking price was too high, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports. The Timberwolves gave up young guard Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks to the Bulls in exchange for Dosunmu and Julian Phillips. Dosunmu is headed to unrestricted free agency, which factored into Detroit’s thinking about not overpaying for the talented guard.
Patterson addressed a number of other topics in his mailbag article, including Jalen Duren‘s restricted free agency and potential trade targets for Detroit this summer.
Here’s more on the Pistons:
- Despite his offensive limitations, Ausar Thompson is an irreplaceable core player as he becomes eligible for a rookie scale extension, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press writes. The Defensive Player of the Year finalist could command a contract similar to the one the Magic’s Jalen Suggs received, Sankofa continues. Suggs signed a five-year deal worth $150.5MM before the start of the 2024/25 season. ESPN’s Bobby Marks recently predicted a five-year extension worth $162MM for Thompson, given his ability to guard anyone on the floor. The front office is hopeful of getting both Duren and Thompson signed this offseason.
- Cade Cunningham‘s strong finish after suffering a collapsed lung late in the regular season added to his superstar trajectory, Sankofa writes for The Free Press. Cunningham averaged 28.1 points, 7.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 40.2% from three during the playoffs. Cunningham was named to the All-NBA First Team. He could meet the super-max (ie. Designated Veteran) criteria if he earns All-NBA honors again in 2027. That would make him eligible for a maximum-salary extension worth up to 35% of the cap instead of 30% on his next contract.
- The Pistons hosted Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie for a pre-draft workout on Wednesday, Patterson tweets. Detroit has the No. 21 overall pick but nothing in the second round, unless it makes a trade. Okorie could be a consideration at that spot — he’s currently ranked No. 27 on ESPN’s Best Available list. Okorie averaged 23.2 points per game in his one-and-done season with the Cardinal.
Mitchell Robinson Will Play In Game 1
7:01 pm: Robinson will play in Game 1, James Edwards III of The Athletic tweets.
12:o1 pm: Knicks center Mitchell Robinson fully participated in Tuesday’s practice and is expected to be available for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday in San Antonio, reports Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
While it remains unclear how exactly he sustained the injury, which didn’t occur didn’t a game or practice, Robinson fractured the fifth metacarpal bone in his right hand following the team’s Eastern Conference finals win over Cleveland and underwent surgery last week to repair the break.
Similar injuries typically require recovery periods of at least two weeks and sometimes much more than that, but Robinson has been repeatedly described as determined to suit up for the Knicks when the series gets underway. Videos from the practice court on Tuesday showed the big man shooting, passing, and dribbling the ball with his affected hand while wearing a protective wrap.
Robinson was listed on Tuesday as questionable to play in Game 1 and that designation has yet to be officially updated, but Charania’s reporting suggests he’s on track to be upgraded to available later in the day.
A member of the Knicks since 2018, Robinson is no longer the team’s starting center and averaged just 19.6 minutes per game during the regular season. However, he remains very valuable as a situation role player who can impact the game with his rebounding and rim protection, so it would be a boon to New York if he’s able to give the team some productive minutes against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs.
In 13 playoff appearances, Robinson has averaged 5.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per game. Head coach Mike Brown has had to be extra careful about how he uses the 28-year-old to limit the extent to which opponents can exploit his poor free throw shooting. Robinson has made just 13-of-43 shots (30.2%) from the foul line during the postseason.
Pacers Notes: Trade/FA Targets, Nembhard, Pre-Draft Workouts
The Pacers aren’t expected to make a major trade this summer after acquiring Ivica Zubac at February’s trade deadline. However, there are some lower-level acquisitions they could make this offseason and the Indianapolis Star’s Dustin Dopirak explores which players they might pursue.
If the Pacers prioritize a scoring option, they could go after a player like Malik Monk or Max Strus. Dopirak anticipates it would require Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard to make such a deal a reality. Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe could also be available if Oklahoma City decides to offload some salary.
Dalton Knecht and Saddiq Bey could be options to fill that role without sacrificing a top-eight player, Dopirak notes. Khris Middleton, Anfernee Simons, Kevin Huerter, Quentin Grimes, Kelly Oubre, Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland are among the players who could be targeted with Indiana’s non-taxpayer mid-level exception.
Here’s more on the Pacers:
- Guard Andrew Nembhard played in 57 games and averaged a career high 31.3 minutes per night in 2025/26. His counting stats rose but his intangibles are just as crucial to the team’s success, Tony East writes in a CircleCitySpin.com piece. “I think I’ve always been a guy who tries to lead by example and go out there and show I can compete,” Nembhard said. “But I think this year I was put in a position where I had to voice my opinion more, kind of rally the troops in a way.” Nembhard is entering the second season of a three-year, $58.65MM contract.
- The Pacers will hold their third and fourth pre-draft workouts on Thursday and Friday, respectively, according to a team press release. Thursday’s workout includes John Camden (California), Melvin Council (Kansas), Tamin Lipsey (Iowa State), Corey Stephenson (Florida International), Malik Thomas (Virginia), and Jalen Warley (Gonzaga).
- Their Friday workout includes Sam Alexis (Indiana), Chris Bell (California), Kylan Boswell (Illinois), Maliq Brown (Duke), Isaac McKneely (Louisville), and Braden Smith (Purdue). Indiana currently doesn’t have a pick in this year’s draft, but a trade could change that. The team also figures to be active after the draft adding rookie free agents on Exhibit 10 and/or two-way deals.
Western Notes: Suns, Mavs, Burries, Giannis, Westbrook
The Suns have numerous decisions to make regarding their own free agents, Spotrac’s Keith Smith notes in his offseason preview.
Mark Williams will be a restricted free agent and Phoenix should tread cautiously, according to Smith, who writes that Williams is a solid but not overly impactful center and has a lengthy injury history. The big man could wind up signing his $9.6MM qualifying offer.
The fact that Phoenix holds Early Bird rights on guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin should allow the front office to give them competitive offers and retain the duo. Smith anticipates something in the range of $40MM over four years as a solid baseline for Gillespie and views a three-year, $18MM offer as fair value for Goodwin.
As for a potential extension for Dillon Brooks, Smith notes he turned 30 in January and thus the franchise shouldn’t get carried away. A four-year, $100MM contract should be considered a fair offer.
Here’s more from the Western Conference:
- The Mavericks should seriously consider Arizona freshman guard Brayden Burries with their lottery pick at No. 9, James Piercey of Dallas Hoops Journal writes. Burries made 39.1% of his three-point tries during his one-and-done season with the Wildcats, in which he averaged 16.1 points per game. With Cooper Flagg serving as a point forward, Burries could be an ideal complement to the team’s franchise player. Burries is also a stout point-of-attack defender, Piercey adds.
- The Trail Blazers should make an aggressive trade proposal to the Bucks to win the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes, Bill Oram of The Oregonian opines in a subscriber-only column. While Portland showed some growth this season, the Blazers need a star talent to make them true contenders. Oram believes that if a smaller market club has a chance to add a proven superstar, it must go all-in on that opportunity. Oram also notes the Trail Blazers have a built-in advantage — they control Milwaukee’s first-round picks from 2028 to 2030.
- Russell Westbrook, who played his first 11 seasons with the Thunder organization, is giving back to the Oklahoma City community. He returned to the city on Monday for the groundbreaking ceremony of the multi-purpose stadium that’s set to open in 2028, according to The Oklahoman’s Joe Mussatto. Westbrook teamed up with Christian Kanady, the founder and CEO of Echo Investment Capital, to develop the surrounding stadium district. The 10,000-seat outdoor venue will be the home of Oklahoma City’s pro soccer and football teams, which will compete in the United Soccer League and United Football League, respectively. Westbrook is headed to unrestricted free agency this summer.
And-Ones: Seattle, Murray, Canada, Aspiration, Extensions
In addition to announcing that Melinda French Gates is joining the Seattle Kraken’s ownership group as a minority investor, Samantha Holloway, the majority owner of the NHL team, confirmed that she’s assembling a group that will make a bid for an NBA franchise based in Seattle, writes Emily Kaplan of ESPN.
Holloway also pointed out that the Kraken’s ownership group has strengthened its case to bring the NBA to Seattle by acquiring a majority stake in Climate Pledge Arena, where the Kraken and the WNBA’s Seattle Storm play.
“The City of Seattle certainly could use an NBA team, and the fans here are ready for it,” Holloway said. “If that happens, they will all buy their Kraken friends beers because it wouldn’t happen without them. So we are hopeful, we are working on it, and stay tuned.”
We have more odds and ends from around the basketball world:
- Exploring at greater length why Jamal Murray isn’t expected to play for the Canadian national team in international competition anytime soon, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca explains that Canada Basketball was seeking three-year commitments from its players, and the Nuggets guard wasn’t able to commit to being available for each of the next three summers. “If guys don’t commit this summer, they’re not in,” new national team coach Gordon Herbert said. “When I was with Germany, we had six or seven NBA guys and three guys didn’t come, they didn’t want to come. All of sudden they wanted to come (in) year two. Sorry. You can’t be successful in anything without commitment, in my opinion.”
- Joseph Sanberg, the co-founder of the now-bankrupt green banking company Aspiration, was sentenced this week to 14 years in federal prison, writes Baxter Holmes of ESPN. Judge Stephen V. Wilson described Sanberg as “greedy, brazen, callous” and said he would “put the grade of his fraud at the zenith,” as Holmes relays. Kawhi Leonard‘s sponsorship deal with Aspiration and Steve Ballmer‘s investment in the company are at the center of the NBA’s investigation into possible salary cap circumvention by the Clippers. In advance of his sentencing, the league said in a letter to Wilson that Sanberg “substantially assisted” its probe, while Ballmer’s attorneys advocated against leniency for the Aspiration co-founder, writing that Sanberg “flagrantly defrauded” the Clippers owner.
- Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama is the only player eligible for a rookie scale extension who is likely to sign a maximum-salary contract this offseason, in the view of Keith Smith of Spotrac. However, Smith – projecting possible deals for each member of the 2023 draft class – view Hornets forward Brandon Miller (five years, $200MM), Rockets guard Amen Thompson (five years, $185MM), and Jazz guard Keyonte George (four years, $152MM) as strong candidates for lucrative extensions.
2026 NBA Offseason Preview: Milwaukee Bucks
Since breaking through to secure their first championship in 50 years in 2021, the Bucks have won just a single playoff series, falling in the first round for three consecutive years from 2023-25. When MVP-caliber players aren't contending for titles, trade speculation is inevitable, so it's no surprise that whispers about Giannis Antetokounmpo' future have percolated since Milwaukee failed to defend its championship in 2022.
But the volume on those rumors began increasing to a new level during the 2025 offseason. Coming off their third straight first-round exit, the Bucks were in a tougher spot than ever, having lost star point guard Damian Lillard to a torn Achilles during their brief postseason run.
Recognizing that keeping Lillard's maximum-salary contract on their books while he spent the 2025/26 season recovering from his Achilles tear would essentially amount to taking a "gap year" in Antetokounmpo's prime, the Bucks opted for a more aggressive - and riskier - offseason strategy. They waived Lillard, stretching his remaining $112MM+ in salary over five seasons, then used their newly created cap room to bring in center Myles Turner, one of the top unrestricted free agents on the market.
Milwaukee's creativity and willingness to push all its chips into the center of the table was admirable. But it didn't quiet the rumors involving Antetokounmpo, who reportedly conveyed to the team later in the offseason that he wouldn't mind joining the Knicks, leading to brief, unsuccessful trade talks between the two teams. And it didn't make the Bucks any better on the court.
With Antetokounmpo battling health issues and Turner struggling to adjust to his new situation after spending a decade in Indiana, the Bucks lost seven consecutive games in November to drop to 8-12 to open the season. They were never able to get back to .500 after that. As the team experienced its worst season since Giannis' rookie year, the trade chatter surrounding the two-time MVP amped up again, and the Bucks fielded offers leading up to February's deadline before once again opting to stand pat.
Over the course of the year, Antetokounmpo repeatedly spoke about his love for Milwaukee and his desire to win another championship with the Bucks. But he also consistently made it clear that contending for a title would be his first priority, and that if he wasn't confident in the Bucks' ability to do so, he'd have to consider other options.
It didn't help matters that Giannis and the Bucks found themselves at odds multiple times after the trade deadline. The star forward bristled at the fact that co-owner Wes Edens told ESPN the club intended to either extend or trade him, then clashed with the organization over its handling of his knee injury -- Antetokounmpo felt he was healthy enough to return to action and the Bucks disagreed, prompting the NBA to investigate the matter (the team was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing).
Of course, the Antetokounmpo saga wasn't the only storyline in Milwaukee in 2025/26. Ryan Rollins' emergence in the Bucks' backcourt was one particularly encouraging development. The former second-round pick made a legitimate Most Improved Player case by averaging 17.6 points, 5.6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game on .472/.406/.796 shooting.
But every other Bucks subplot, good and bad, was overshadowed by the speculation about what will happen with Giannis. It was a distraction that the rest of the roster had to deal with for the entire season and it's a question that will hang over the organization until there's a conclusive resolution -- not just in the form of Antetokounmpo verbally reaffirming his commitment for another year, but via either a long-term extension or a trade, as Edens and his fellow co-owner Jimmy Haslam have suggested.
Antetokounmpo clearly doesn't want to become a villain in Milwaukee by asking to leave, but dragging out this will-he-stay-or-go drama indefinitely isn't doing the Bucks any favors. This offseason needs to be about the organization and its superstar picking a direction and decisively taking a step forward, either with or without one another.
The Bucks' Offseason Plans
Milwaukee made its first major move of the offseason when the team split with head coach Doc Rivers shortly after the regular season ended and hired Taylor Jenkins as his replacement, reportedly giving the former Grizzlies coach a six-year deal worth over $10MM annually.
Garland: I ‘Got My Joy Back’ After Trade To Clippers
After being eliminated in the play-in tournament this spring, Clippers point guard Darius Garland had to watch his former team in Cleveland win a pair of playoff series and advance to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since he entered the NBA in 2019.
However, appearing on the Ball in the Family Podcast (YouTube link), Garland didn’t sound like a player wishing he was still playing for the Cavaliers. Asked about his adjustment to the Clippers during the second half of the season, the 26-year-old said it went “great” (hat tip to RealGM).
“Coming to a system where I can actually be me,” Garland said. “Have the ball in my hand for the majority of the game and actually have control of the pace of the game. Just be like a second coach out there, literally. It was really good. It was fun when I was out there playing, for sure. I got my joy back.”
While Garland continued to play well in Cleveland after the team acquired Donovan Mitchell in 2022, earning his second All-Star nod in 2025, he also ceded some ball-handling and play-making responsibilities to Mitchell during his last few years with the Cavaliers. Garland posted career highs in usage rate (27.8%), points per game (21.7 PPG), and assists per game (8.6) in 2021/22, his first All-Star season — and the year before Mitchell arrived in Cleveland.
After being traded in February for James Harden, Garland once again found himself in a lead guard role, with his usage rate climbing to 29.8% in his 19 regular season games with the Clippers. His comments about having the ball in his hands and controlling the pace of the game suggest he welcomed the adjustment.
Garland has two more guaranteed years on his contract and is just 26 years old, so all indications are that he’s very much part of the Clippers’ long-term plans. Still, there has been some speculation about his future and his role going forward since L.A. landed the No. 5 overall pick in last month’s draft lottery. The Clippers will likely have their pick of several intriguing young point guards at that spot, including Darius Acuff, Mikel Brown, Kingston Flemings, and Keaton Wagler.
It remains possible that the Clippers will trade down or go in another direction with their lottery pick, but if they select another lead guard, how would Garland feel about it, given his fondness for his new role in L.A.? He wasn’t asked about that directly, but he did speak a little later in the podcast about having played alongside Mitchell and dealing with the skepticism that the Cavs’ “smaller” backcourt faced from critics.
“I had the same thing when I got drafted with Collin Sexton,” Garland said. “Like, it was the same exact thing for the first two, three years. Then Don comes and it’s the whole thing all over again. So I was like, ‘They’re going to say whatever.’ We’ve got two guards over here that’s quote-unquote ‘smaller.’ So we’re just going to go with it, just go out there and hoop and try to win as many games as we can.”
Terry Rozier To Forfeit Most Of 2025/26 Salary
Former Heat guard Terry Rozier will be forced to forfeit most of the $26.6MM salary he was supposed to earn in 2025/26, per an arbitrator’s decision, as Mike Vorkunov writes for The Athletic.
Rozier was placed on unpaid leave by the NBA at the end of October, six days after he was arrested on federal charges related to a gambling investigation. The 31-year-old pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in December.
The players’ union challenged the league’s decision to withhold Rozier’s salary and won an arbitration case earlier in the year. At that time, an arbitrator ruled that the NBA was violating the rules of its Collective Bargaining Agreement by not allowing Rozier to be paid, determining that only players who are involved in cases of domestic or child abuse can be placed on unpaid leave.
However, that same arbitrator sided with the NBA this time around, as Vorkunov explains, upholding the league’s argument that the conditions of Rozier’s bond prevented him from fulfilling the terms of his contract. As part of his ongoing legal case, Rozier was prohibited from traveling across the country or being in contact with the Heat or his former team, the Hornets.
Rozier – who was charged last week with two new felonies, sports bribery and honest services fraud – has been accused of telling a friend he would remove himself early from a game in March 2023, when he was a member of the Hornets. That friend then sold the inside information to gamblers who were able to cash in by betting on several “under” props related to Rozier’s performance in that game. After recording five points, four rebounds and two assists in less than 10 minutes of action in the first quarter, Rozier exited the game during a timeout and didn’t return, citing a foot issue.
Rozier has pleaded not guilty to all charges and still hopes to return to the NBA after being waived by the Heat in April. According to Vorknov, his attorneys have asked the judge overseeing his case to remove the Hornets – and their current and former employees – from his no-contact list and to rule that the longtime guard is simply prohibited to discuss the case with them. Rozier’s attorneys are calling the current restrictions “unfairly punitive,” Vorkunov adds.
“With forced inactivity, Mr. Rozier is facing a potential second season of non-participation despite being entitled to a presumption of innocence,” his attorneys wrote in their argument. “With the NBA’s free agency process officially beginning June 30, maintaining the Hornets on the no-contact list would likely prevent him from having any opportunity to play in the NBA.
“Under the current ruling of the arbitrator, an inability to play for or against the Charlotte Hornets would constitute a ‘failure to perform services’ by Mr. Rozier and substantially diminish or eliminate any chance of being contracted by an NBA team.”
Regardless of whether or not the judge upholds his attorneys’ request, it’s pretty difficult to imagine Rozier signing another NBA contract unless he’s fully cleared and exonerated of all charges. If he’s found guilty, he’s likely facing a lifetime ban from the league like the one Jontay Porter received after disclosing confidential information to sports bettors.
Fischer’s Latest: Brown, Pelicans, Murphy, Kyrie, Sixers
The Pelicans have been “mentioned by various league executives” as one of the teams with interest in Celtics wing Jaylen Brown, NBA insider Jake Fischer said in his latest live stream for Bleacher Report (video link).
Fischer’s colleague Marc Stein previously named Atlanta, Houston, and Portland as teams to watch for Brown, though as Fischer points out, there have been no real indications yet that the Celtics will seriously consider the idea of trading the All-NBA second-teamer this offseason.
With Brown’s salary set to rise to $57MM in 2026/27, any Pelicans package for Brown would have to start with at least one of Zion Williamson, Jordan Poole, Dejounte Murray, or Trey Murphy III for matching purposes. Of those players, the versatile sharpshooter Murphy would almost certainly draw the most interest from the Celtics or other potential trade partners (in multi-team scenarios).
According to Fischer, San Antonio had been one of the teams most interested in Murphy over the past year or two, but the Spurs‘ run to the NBA Finals this spring makes them less likely to do anything drastic with their roster this summer.
Here are a few more highlights from Fischer’s live stream:
- While the Mavericks‘ new front office executives have expressed enthusiasm about seeing Cooper Flagg play alongside a healthy Kyrie Irving, Fischer doesn’t “necessarily believe” that Irving will still be on Dallas’ roster by the start of the 2026/27 season, noting that plenty of teams will inquire on the star point guard in the coming weeks. Irving missed all of ’25/26 while recovering from a torn ACL but should be ready to go for opening night in the fall.
- Although Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe look like the Sixers‘ top long-term building blocks, there’s no reason to believe Joel Embiid or Paul George will be going anywhere at this point, according to Fischer, who suggests that Philadelphia is “almost certain” to bring both players back. Embiid and George would be difficult to move for any real value due to their multiyear, maximum-salary contracts.
- Based on his conversations with sources around the NBA, Fischer wouldn’t be surprised if “most favorable” terms become more common on traded first-round picks, since that’s a way for teams stockpiling draft assets to hedge against the randomness of the new draft lottery format.
Finals Notes: Wemby, Castle, Brunson, Kornet, More
While their playing styles and physiques bear little resemblance, Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is providing the rest of the NBA’s teams with the same sort of unique challenges they faced three decades ago when Shaquille O’Neal emerged as a superstar in Orlando, writes Brian Windhorst of ESPN. Like Wembanyama, O’Neal led his team to the NBA Finals in just his third year in the league.
“He’s Shaq,” one veteran NBA head coach said of Wembanyama, per Windhorst. “He eats clean, worries about how his water is filtered and doesn’t break backboards like Shaq did, but he presents the same problem. None of us know what the hell we’re going to do to stop him.”
“Of course people are going to compare him to Shaq but he’s actually Shaq 2.0,” a rival general manager added. “Because he takes care of his body and plays a modern game, shoots the three and can make free throws. Yeah, he’s our nightmare.”
While O’Neal eventually won four NBA championships, he didn’t earn his first one until 2000, well after he had left Orlando for Los Angeles. In 1995, he and a young Magic team entered the Finals as favorites, but were swept by Hakeem Olajuwon and the Rockets, who were defending their ’94 title. As Windhorst writes, the Spurs and Wembanyama will also enter the Finals without the edge in playoff experience, but they’re determined to avoid the same fate as O’Neal’s Magic.
“The lack of experience is a strength for us,” Wembanyama told ESPN’s Malika Andrews. “Because we could do impossible stuff … because we don’t know it’s impossible.”
Here’s more on the NBA Finals, which will get underway in a matter of hours:
- Stephon Castle‘s ability to slow down Knicks star Jalen Brunson will be one of the key factors of the Finals, according to Vincent Goodwill of ESPN, who notes that Brunson expressed nothing but respect for Castle at media day on Tuesday. “He’s great. I think his intensity and tenacity is special,” Brunson said. “He plays with a chip on his shoulder. He’s had that since I’ve seen him at UConn. The way he’s played over these first couple years of his career, he’s going to be a great player, great defender.” While the sample size is small, Castle has defended Brunson well in the past, holding him to 27.3% shooting (3-of-11), per Goodwill.
- Kurt Helin of NBC Sports passes along some of the notable quotes from Knicks and Spurs players at Tuesday’s media day, while Ben Golliver of ESPN ranks all 30 players involved in the series, from Wembanyama at No. 1 to Bismack Biyombo at No. 30.
- Facing the Knicks in the Finals represents a “full-circle” moment for reserve Spurs center Luke Kornet, as Howie Kussoy of The New York Post relays. Kornet spent the first two years of his NBA career with New York, playing on a two-way contract as a rookie. “I had a great time in my first two years, especially in Westchester,” Kornet said on Tuesday. “I feel like the group that we had, it was some really fun basketball that we played. That’s what I remember the most. We had a lot of talent and young guys and it felt like an extension of college. I felt like I was growing my game a lot at that time. A lot of guys always talk about the G League like you can’t wait to get out of it, but I really enjoyed my time.”
- Whichever team claims this year’s championship, it will be a win for the Philippines, according to Miguel Alfonso Caramoan of ESPN. As Caramoan observes, either Spurs guard Dylan Harper or Knicks guard Jordan Clarkson will become the first Filipino-descended NBA player to win a title.
- In a pair of stories for The New York Post, Andrew Crane digs into how the Knicks and Spurs acquired each of the 15 players on their current standard rosters.
