NBA Notes: Timberwolves, Jonathan Kuminga, Cavs, Tristan Enaruna, Thunder

Timberwolves Jonathan Kuminga said his early conversations with Timberwolves coach Chris Finch have centered on two responsibilities. “Rebound and defend,” Kuminga said during his introductory press conference. “Those two will open up the rest of the stats.” That sounds like precisely what Minnesota needs after trading Naz Reid and Julius Randle in the deal for LaMelo Ball. Kuminga gives the Timberwolves size, athleticism and another versatile defender alongside Ball and Anthony Edwards. As Ry...

Channing Frye isn’t shy about stirring debate on Road Trippin’, and his latest target was one of the NBA’s most physically dominant players.The former Cavaliers champion and Road Trippin’ co-host used the show to compare Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid, focusing on what each star can do when injuries take away some of their physical […] The post LeBron James’ Close Friend Takes Shot at Giannis Antetokounmpo: “Doesn’t Have the Skillset…Like Embiid” appeared first on EssentiallySports .

Why do NBA teams build fancy practice facilities, then leave for camp?

The Hawks announced they’re holding training camp at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. Which raises a question: Why do NBA teams build state-of-the-art practice facilities, then begin each season practicing somewhere else? The Cavaliers spent Kenny Atkinson’s first two training camps at IMG Academy in Florida. This year, they’re going considerably farther, holding camp at The […] The post Why do NBA teams build fancy practice facilities, then leave for camp? appeared first on Hoops Wire .

NBA Notes: Cavs, Peyton Watson, Celtics, Payton Pritchard, Jazz

Cavaliers Preseason basketball isn’t designed to provide many answers. But for the Cavaliers, it should at least provide a few useful first looks. Zach Weiss of Cavs On SI identified Peyton Watson’s early work with the starters as one of the things to watch. Makes sense. Watson needs to learn where Donovan Mitchell and James Harden want him, while the Cavs need to see how his ankle responds in actual game conditions. Watson is beginning a four-year, $88 million contract and is expected to prov...

Josh Hart says Knicks plenty motivated: ‘I don’t think anyone is picking us to win again’

The Knicks won the championship. Josh Hart would still prefer everyone to believe nobody respects them. “I don’t think we have a big target because I don’t think anyone is picking us to win again,” Hart said during ESPN’s U.S. Open coverage, via BasketNews. “We’re using it as fuel. We’re still the hunters. We’re not satisfied with one.” Whether nobody is picking the Knicks to repeat may be a slight exaggeration. They just rolled through the postseason, sweeping the 76ers and Cavaliers before b...

The Cavs have a bench problem

It has been a strange summer for the Cleveland Cavaliers.  After waiting, and waiting, and then losing out on the LeBron James sweepstakes, the Cavs had to pivot. They already watched Keon Ellis and Dean Wade depart before James’ decision, and then had to offload Dennis Schroder and Max Strus to get a smidge of […]

ESPN gives Cavs’ offseason a B, wonders if full year of James Harden changes everything

ESPN has released its early Cavaliers season preview, which is always useful to read and almost never useful in predicting what will actually happen. ESPN probably knows this, too. But it has 30 teams and needs 30 previews. So here we are. The Cavs received a B for their offseason, with Zach Kram describing the […] The post ESPN gives Cavs’ offseason a B, wonders if full year of James Harden changes everything appeared first on Hoops Wire .
