Draymond Green Show: Draymond reacts to Danilo Gallinari's comments on Kawhi Leonard "I think wishing the NBA took $50 million from a player is disgusting... that also wasn't his first time being traded, so for him to sit and act as if Kawhi Leonard ruined his career, that's bulls**t... I think Gallinari would choose Paul George over himself and if you won't, that's crazy, that's ridiculous... Kawhi Leonard does not have the power to trade a player, he can request... but he don't have the ability to make that trade."

"What's the biggest misconception about your relationship with Jaylen Brown?" Jayson Tatum: "There's just so many different narratives and so many different opinions and speculations. For me, I love that guy. What we were able to accomplish together in nine years, right, went to the conference finals five times, we went to the championship twice, we won a championship, we've shared All-Star games together. You can't talk about him without talking about me and vice versa, the success that we've had as just two young kids growing up in this league and really just pushing each other. Unfortunately, the business of basketball is always going to play a part. Nobody has ever played together forever, but it's not like a thing to be sad or upset about, it's a thing to celebrate what we were able to do."

Stefan Bondy: I got a chance to interview Michael Sweetney about three months ago. He was happy to take my call. Sweetney had been invited back by the Knicks to three games this season and it meant a lot to him after his playing career didn’t pan out. He also talked about his struggles with mental health when he played for the Knicks, and how, in retrospect, he would’ve benefitted from speaking up. “Looking back at it, obviously with my mental health issues, with me struggling with depression and anxiety, what I should have done was get some help, find somebody to talk to. I thought I was a man who could fight it on his own and obviously it burned me,” Sweetney said. “I went from a top-10 pick to being out of the league in four years. So it was one of those things where it sucked but it was one of those things where I wish I talked to somebody and let them know, ‘Look, I need help. I’m not okay.’” Times changed and so did the stigma of mental health problems. Sweetney noticed how the Knicks and the media supported Mitchell Robinson during the playoffs. “I’m glad it is where it is today, where people are coming out and feel comfortable talking about it. Like (Mitchell Robinson) just came out and said what he said. I don’t think during my playing time anybody would have done that,” Sweetney said. So that’s refreshing. For him, he has his teammates. You can tell they genuinely like and love each other. For him, that means a lot. So he has his teammates, his coaches, ownership, management. He has a huge support system. I’m glad he has all that. I didn’t have any of that stuff so I was kind of on an island. But I’m so glad mental health is where it is.” RIP

The Boston Celtics are just over a month away from kicking off their new season with a very different roster than the one they had last year. The Celtics’ offseason was highlighted by the trade of Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers, which drew immense backlash from the fanbase. Now, Celtics star Jayson Tatum has spoken about his relationship with Brown during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show. “There’s just so many different narratives and opinions… For me, I love that guy… You can’t talk about him without talking about me and vice versa,” he said, per Dan Patrick Show on X, formerly Twitter.

Paul George gets a lot of heat, and people were criticizing him even during the bubble. When you look at Paul George’s game, what do you think is one of the most underrated portions of his game? Montrezl Harrell: I don’t make comments about that boy. Me and that boy don’t see eye-to-eye, and we ain’t on no terms, so I don’t make comments about him. Quite frankly, I don’t care. I stated that in the tribute interview I did as well, regarding how me and him got into it in that bubble situation. I feel like that had a strong trajectory on why the Clippers didn’t sign me back the following year, so I don’t make comments on him.
Danilo Gallinari: I didn't say I was the the biggest. I was one of the biggest what if because and I'm gonna tell you my four what if and I'm going to let you think about it and see what you guys think. What if I don't get injured my first year as a rookie in New York and I don't get back surgery my first year in New York. What if I don't tore my ACL? I don't tour my ACL in my prime, my third year in Denver as the best player of the team and one of the best teams in the league. What if I don't te my I don't turn my ACL in Boston and I miss the whole season in Boston?

The Knicks were a popular road draw during their title run, and it looks like that will continue in 2026-27. Games at Philly, Miami, Boston and Washington are popular on StubHub, which said 25 percent of Knicks road-game purchasers are based in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut. That’s up from 21 percent last season.

Nike and the NBA unveiled a fresh batch of jerseys for the upcoming 2026-27 season, plus a collection of merchandise that went on sale Tuesday. The new "Specter" threads will be for eight of the league's most historic franchises. They'll be worn for select games along with the usual Association, Icon, Statement and City editions. The teams with new uniforms include the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Sacramento Kings, Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks.

The Boston Celtics have waived guard Caleb Grill.

Marc D'Amico: Mike Conley Jr. declares, "I still got a lot left."

Daniel Donabedian: I asked Brad Stevens how he weighed putting the Celtics’ interests first (by trading Jaylen Brown) against potentially making a rival better following the LeBron James signing: “Yeah, our focus is on us…And obviously, you know we will look forward to any challenges. And obviously there's a lot of good teams all around the league, but we have to do what's best, what we think is in the best interest of us, both in the short and long term. And so that was the decision, and we went through that in July. And today is about Mike, Paul, and Mitch, who's not here, and making sure that we are ready to put our best foot forward.”
