Michael Scotto: The Cleveland Cavaliers are promoting Brandon Weems to general manager, league sources told HoopsHype.
LeBron James: YESSIR!!!! Congratulations my brother @BrandonWeems10 !! Proud of you man
Heat Central: Donovan Mitchell believes this Heat team adding Giannis and Klay Thompson will be a dangerous team: “All he (Klay) gotta do is stand right there because Giannis has so much gravity. If you help on Giannis, who you gonna help off of? That’s what makes them dangerous. They also got Davion, Wiggins, Bam, Larsson. And they got Spo. He’s a great coach. — Klay is a top 5 shooter ever!”

The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived guard Sean McNeil.
Oh No He Didn't: Peyton Watson on what he learned from playing with Nikola Jokic: "I think my IQ for the game has gotten a lot better just playing with him. Knowing how to play with a superstar is something that's invaluable in this league with so much talent. I think you need to always know how to play off of other players and how to make other players better, even if you don't necessarily have the ball in your hands"
"Who was your inspiration? Who did you watch and be like, I like how he plays, I want to integrate that into my game?" Derik Queen: "Really James Harden. When I wanted to learn how to dribble, he was on the Rockets doing his one-on-one stuff. Even Oklahoma City, I caught the later years of OKC. But when he was on the Rockets, he just used to do his one-on-one and I was just like, I want to do that. Him and LeBron are my favorite players. LeBron, I'm not athletic like him, but all three of us can pass. Those two were my favorite, so I just try to play like them, but at a different size and I'm not fast like them. I still fry you though."
