LeBron James stuns everyone by agreeing to join the Philadelphia 76ers. He said it was about the best chance to win, so how good is this Sixers team in the East? What is the best way to maximize the talents of Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, LeBron, and Embiid? Are they going to be able to guard anyone? Plus, should LeBron have chosen another team as the best shot of winning a championship?

España ha anunciado la lista para los partidos de clasificación de agosto y, por primera vez en bastante tiempo, la sensación es distinta. Hugo González, Sergio de Larrea, Baba Miller, Aday Mara y Santi Aldama coincidirán con la selección absoluta, formando un núcleo joven, físico y lleno de talento que invita a pensar que la etapa de transición empieza a quedarse atrás.En este vídeo revisamos prácticamente nombre por nombre una convocatoria en la que también aparecen jugadores importantes como Alberto Díaz, Darío Brizuela, Juancho Hernangómez, Willy Hernangómez, Mario Saint-Supery, Jaime Pradilla o Joel Parra. Analizamos qué puede aportar cada uno, qué quintetos podría utilizar Chus Mateo y cómo se pueden combinar el tamaño, la juventud y la experiencia.Todavía queda muchísimo camino y varios de estos jugadores apenas están empezando sus carreras, pero esta lista ya permite imaginar una España diferente: más grande, más atlética, con mayor capacidad de creación y con cinco jugadores NBA compartiendo equipo. Puede que todavía no sea una selección campeona, pero sí parece el comienzo de algo que vuelve a ilusionar.

The full crew is back — Grant, John Browner, David Bloom and Josh Tariff — and the biggest story finally has legs: Aaron Donald is coming back to the Rams. It's not official, but between the grainy footage at the Woodland Hills facility, Davante Adams' posts and Myles Garrett unpacking a signed jersey, the guys treat it as done and start dreaming on a Greatest Show on Turf defense — third-down packages, double-digit sack predictions, and a message for the smug defending-champion Seahawks they don't play until Christmas. Before that: the LeBron sweepstakes drags on with nobody actually knowing anything, and the panel torches the fake-sources economy — Kendrick Perkins, Pat Beverley, DraftKings odds, and how the ESPN insider machine really works. Plus final summer league verdicts: the Warriors win it all behind MVP Yaxel Lendeborg, Caleb Wilson looks like the best of the whole class, Aday Mara gets exposed, and the crew renders a split decision on Keaton Wagler's Vegas — Grant sees a second-half burst scorer the Clippers will let take his lumps, John sees a project who never passed the eye test. It ends with an 0-17 Cardinals prediction and a plea to Jacoby Brissett: take the money. New episodes drop nightly. Follow the crew and catch the post-show on X.

The Milwauke Bucks re-signed Gary Trent Jr to a shocking, above market deal despite being in a rebuild and Trent coming off a career-worst season that saw him fall out of the rotation. This news broke during NBA Summer League, where it became a hotly discussed topic for both its brazenness in breaking the NBA's salary rules, and for the wonder that if in the wake of the Kawhi Leonard/Aspiration investigation, Adam Silver would do anything about it.This episode discusses the shady Trent deal, the latest news about Kawhi Leonard and the trade that's been put on hold, plus goes over Summer League observations from Keith and Dave, who were together in Las Vegas for five days and have opinions on AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, Darryn Peterson, Caleb Wilson, Brayden Burries, Koa Peat, Keaton Wagler, Darius Acuff, Aday Mara, and more!Plus: some very special Drake Powell stats!Join the slack channel at http://patreon.com/fastbreakbreakfast!Subscribe on YouTube!Get 20% off a Stathead annual subscription with code FBBFUse promo code FASTBREABREAK at SeatGeek for $20 off your first ticket purchaseCheck out the merchandise at teepublic.com/stores/fastbreak-breakfast

Esta semana... Cerramos temporada con el Valencia campeón de Liga. La reconstrucción del Barça. La llegada de Antetokounmpo a Miami. El Draft de Aday Mara y más historias.

0:00 .... Ross hello and welcome, introduces the panelists, and dedicates show #254 to Sam Mitchell, who was drafted #54 overall in the 1985 NBA Draft. 0:58 ... Giannis Antetokounmpo is now a member of the Miami Heat after the Bucks traded him on Monday night.  The guys react to the trade and feel like the Bucks took a better deal from Miami than Boston was willing to offer with their package involving Jaylen Brown. 5:35 ... The Heat will need to add some shooting if they want to put a team out there that can compete even though they've added a Hall of Famer in Giannis.  Ross feels that Miami can't go "cheap" and has to stay aggressive. 10:14 ... The Heat have been excellent at developing talent over the years and they will find some diamonds in the rough to complement Giannis and Bam Adebayo. 10:55 ... Ross shares his "wish list" of guys he wants the Heat to go after during the next few months. 12:00 ... The guys discuss the future for the Bucks after losing their best player.  Ross feels like they may even improve on their record from last season under new coach Taylor Jenkins.  Bruce was having flashbacks to 1975 when Milwaukee traded another superstar player who went on to great success with his new team.  World B does not share Ross's optimism about the Bucks prospects next season. 17:10 ... Now that Jaylen Brown knows he was on the trading block, can he return to the Celtics feeling good about his relationship with the team and with fellow star Jayson Tatum? 21:49 ... Julius Randle is traded from Minnesota to Brooklyn in a three team trade that also has Nik Claxton going from the Nets to the Bulls and the Wolves shedding salary and signing Ayo Dosunmu to a contract extension.  The deal frees "Nuclear Naz" Reid to start at power forward for the Wolves. 26:01 ... The guys examine the first round of the draft on Tuesday with an extended discussion of AJ Dybantsa to Washington, Darryn Peterson to Utah, and Cameron Boozer to Memphis. 30:12 ... The guys discuss the big winners in the first round ... Bruce likes OKC drafting 7'3" Aday Mara, who could develop into a defender that can battle Victor Wembanyama more effectively than Chet Holmgren did in the playoffs. 31:14 ... Bruce liked Sacramento choosing Alex Karaban, who reminds him of former Kings sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic. 32:38 ... World B liked the draft choices that Charlotte made with Christian Anderson from Texas Tech and Zuby Ejiafor from St John's.  He also liked Kingston Flemings going to Atlanta as their point guard of the future.  Ross really liked how Memphis snagged Karim Lopez at #21 along with Cam Boozer at #3 and also stockpiled some additional picks with some trades. 36:06 .... Biggest losers?  Bruce cited the seven teams that did not have draft picks in the first round.  World B felt the Nets messed up their first round pick by passing on Darius Acuff and choosing Mikel Brown. 38:21 ... Bruce has a final thought about his work on the NBA Draft between 2003-2017 when he was at ESPN.  Watching the fantasy become a reality for the draftees and their families is something that he never got tired of witnessing 39:21 ...

Carl and Mike close out the show with thoughts on what they each would like to see the Hawks draft in the first round in Tuesday's NBA Draft as Mike makes his case for the Hawks taking a center like Aday Mara while Carl makes his case for the Hawks maybe turning towards a guard like Acuff if he is available.

On this episode of Little Column A, Little Column B, hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop kick things off with one of the strangest headlines of the week—a truck overturning in Texas and releasing two million bees into a neighborhood—before quickly pivoting into a loaded discussion on NBA trades, draft prospects, and offseason chaos. The bulk of the episode centers on the ever-changing Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors and whether the Boston Celtics should push all their chips to the center of the table. Will and Zach debate potential packages, salary-cap implications, and what adding Giannis would mean for Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Boston's championship window. The conversation also explores whether the Celtics' bigger need is actually a true rim protector and how roster construction has evolved in today's NBA. The hosts then dive into the upcoming NBA Draft, expressing skepticism about a guard-heavy class and debating the value of several top prospects and sleepers. Caleb Wilson, Aday Mara, Yaxel Lendeborg, Cam Boozer, Alex Karaban, Isaiah Evans, and Joshua Jefferson all come under the microscope as the duo breaks down strengths, weaknesses, and ideal landing spots. Team-building discussions include potential moves involving the Clippers, Pelicans, Thunder, and Bulls, along with trade-up scenarios and warnings about overvaluing flashy scorers. The conversation rounds out with coaching and roster movement around the league, including Dusty May's departure from Michigan to the Mavericks, veteran signings, Trae Young's future in Atlanta, and live reactions to social media reports and shifting odds in the Giannis sweepstakes. The episode closes with quick thoughts on international soccer, Messi, and other summer sports storylines. Expect strong opinions, real-time reactions, draft takes, and plenty of roster math as Will and Zach break down how one major move could reshape the NBA landscape.

The Chicago Bulls draft rumor mill is heating up fast, and Haize breaks down the latest updates surrounding Bryson Graham's potential draft board, possible trade-up options, and the biggest names connected to Chicago ahead of draft night.Could the Bulls move back into the first round for Jayden Quaintance if he slides into the 20s? Is Morez Johnson Jr. becoming Chicago's real target at No. 15? And what should Bulls fans make of Sam Vecenie connecting Yaxel Lendeborg to the Bulls as a possible fit with Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, and a top-four forward?Haize also reacts to the growing Josh Giddey to Minnesota speculation and explains why fans may be missing the most important part of the rumor: the Wolves may like Giddey, but that does not mean the Bulls are willing to move him.Plus, the show dives into the most realistic center options in the draft for Chicago, including Aday Mara, Henri Veesaar, Hannes Steinbach, Morez Johnson Jr., and Jayden Quaintance, and how each player fits Tiago Splitter's developmental system and Bryson Graham's SLAP profile of size, length, athleticism, and physicality.

Jonathan Givony gives his unique perspective on the NBA draft, having followed all of these players around the world for years.  He has Darryn Peterson #1, Nate has AJ Dybantsa, and they both make their arguments as to why.  Further discussions include Cam Boozer's defense and scoring upside, Caleb Wilson's rise, the volatility of Mikel Brown Jr., which of the point guards we like most in the top-10, how Aday Mara compares to Donovan Clingan, and much more.

The Chicago Bulls could be staring at a franchise-changing 2026 NBA Draft, and the biggest question may not just be who they take at No. 4 — it could be whether Bryson Graham tries to trade up from No. 15 to land Aday Mara.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down two major draft pairing possibilities: Caleb Wilson + Aday Mara vs. Cam Boozer + Aday Mara. Which duo fits Graham's SLAP philosophy better? Which pairing gives the Bulls the best mix of size, length, athleticism, physicality, rim protection, passing and long-term upside?Wilson + Mara would give Chicago a massive defensive ceiling, elite length, rim protection and transition potential. Boozer + Mara would give the Bulls more offensive polish, frontcourt passing, rebounding and half-court stability. Which direction should the Bulls prioritize as they build around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and Noa Essengue?Haize also reacts to the Darryn Peterson conversation after Sam Smith called Peterson a “nightmare” draft scenario for the Bulls at No. 4. Is Peterson really the worst outcome, or is the upside too high to ignore if he falls into Chicago's lap?Topics include:Caleb Wilson's fit with Bryson Graham's BullsAday Mara as a potential trade-up targetCam Boozer vs. Caleb Wilson next to MaraHow Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis fit with each pairingDarryn Peterson as the possible wild-card pick at No. 4Why the Bulls' draft board could get chaotic fastThe Bulls are entering one of the most important drafts in franchise history. Could this be the moment Chicago finally builds a real frontcourt identity?

The Chicago Bulls may have just been impacted in a major way by the NBA's new lottery changes — but not in the way many fans think. On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down how the new draft lottery format could reshape tanking, rebuilds, and the way teams approach player development going forward.The new system lowers the reward for being one of the worst teams in the league, gives stronger odds to middle-tier non-playoff teams, and even gives certain play-in teams a chance to land near the top of the draft. For a Bulls team that has spent years stuck in the middle, these changes may actually work in Chicago's favor.Haize also dives into the latest speculation around the Bulls' head coaching search. Are fans right to wonder if Sean Sweeney is the reason Chicago has not made a hire yet? Or are multiple teams, including the Orlando Magic, waiting on the same candidate? Plus, Haize gives his current top coaching candidates, including Chris Quinn, Sean Sweeney, Dave Bliss, Tiago Splitter, and Johnnie Bryant.Finally, the show breaks down why the real draft intrigue may not be pick No. 4 — but the chaos between picks 6 and 20. With mock drafts all over the place on prospects like Aday Mara, Darius Acuff, Jayden Quaintance, and Morez Johnson, the Bulls could be in prime position at No. 15 to land a falling talent.

The guys talk about a pair of intriguing center prospects in the 2026 NBA Draft

The Chicago Bulls head coaching search continues to grow, and another fascinating name has entered the mix.The Bulls have reportedly added Johnnie Bryant to their coaching list, giving Bryson Graham another respected assistant with a strong résumé in player development, modern offense, and locker-room relationships. Bryant has worked with the Utah Jazz, New York Knicks, and Cleveland Cavaliers, learning under coaches like Quin Snyder, Tom Thibodeau, and Kenny Atkinson while helping develop players such as Donovan Mitchell, Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Jalen Brunson, Gordon Hayward, and more.Haize breaks down why Bryant is viewed around the NBA as one of the top rising assistant coaches, what makes his player-development background so intriguing for the Bulls, and why his experience under multiple coaching styles could make him a strong fit for Chicago's rebuild.The Bulls need more than a coach with a good résumé. They need someone who can connect with young players, build accountability, modernize the offense, and help turn draft talent into winning basketball. Bryant checks a lot of those boxes, but the biggest question remains: can he make the jump from respected assistant to full-time NBA head coach?Also discussed: the growing list of Bulls head coach candidates, why Bryson Graham's process feels diligent, the debate between trading up for Cameron Carr or Aday Mara, whether the Bulls should trade back if they want Darius Acuff, why fans should appreciate having a top-four pick, and why Chicago needs to extract real value from every selection in this draft.Topics Covered:

In the latest episode of The Michigan Basketball Insider, Sam Webb and Tim McCormick preview the national championship game between Michigan and Connecticut. Tim begins by highlighting Michigan's dominant interior defense and improved three-point shooting in its win over Arizona. He praises Aday Mara for significantly raising his draft stock, potentially into the lottery, and credits Elliot Cadeau's defense as a key factor in the victory. Tim also notes Trey McKenney's shooting has put the freshman on NBA draft boards. The discussion then shifts to the upcoming matchup with UConn, focusing on Danny Hurley's tactical strengths, Tarris Reed's development, and Alex Karaban's versatility. They address Yaxel Lendeborg's knee and ankle injuries, and discuss strategies to protect him defensively, as well as the possible impact of Solo Ball's foot injury for UConn. Although both expect a tougher contest than against Arizona, they predict a close Michigan victory.

Final Four vs Arizona Starts at 0:51 Dave has a new nickname. Was this game... a let down? You could have maybe predicted that Arizona would struggle to score based on their over-reliance on twos. You probably could not have predicted that Michigan would put up over 90 points without Yaxel. Arizona was extremely physical which resulted in foul trouble, but when they got away with it they could score. Michigan forced Arizona into an ungodly number of two point jumpers off the dribble. They were 10-of-32 from mid-range. Arizona missing a dunk felt like the dagger. Michigan's maturity showed, they didn't seem blinded by the lights of the big stage. Elliott Cadeau had the greatest 2-of-14 half of basketball. Yaxel goes out the first time because of foul trouble and Arizona couldn't be more physical than Michigan's guards. Arizona has one way of playing that nobody else could stop, except for Michigan, and Arizona didn't know how to react. When shooting was tough, Trey McKenney stepped up. 16 points on 6-9 shooting, he has changed how we feel about mid-range shooting. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Hot Takes and National Championship Preview - UConn Starts at 33:42 Takes hotter than ADAY MARA. Connecticut is #9 in Kenpom which feels like a relief, but they do have weird tournament joujou. That's better than having to play Duke at least. Michigan vs Tarris Reed for a national championship is crazy. Tarris has matured into a hoss and is their center, his backup, Eric Reibe, is a freshman and a drop-off but still a good player. They don't really play a second big. Alex Karaban is their second biggest player and he's been around college basketball for forever but he's a big wing. This is a game where Tschetter can play. Michigan can play two bigs and put one of them on Karaban but it might only be for 15-20 minutes of the game. Should Michigan make this into a shooting fest and maximize possessions? Tarris Reed is very difficult to ware out. Braylon Mullens is a freshman 6-6 195 lbs wing that Michigan can overwhelm. Silas Demery is a transfer from Georgia, the point guard, top 25 assist rate, top 100 steal rate. Gets to the line a ton, not that great from two. Solo Ball takes most of his shots from outside of the arc, he has also been seen wearing a boot. Expect UConn to show a lot of different coverages. How much Yaxel will we get? Expect it to be a Blake Corum vs Ohio State situation. He came to Michigan to play in this game so you gotta feel for him if he can't play much. UConn's biggest advantages are blocking two point shots and assists, which Michigan should be able to take advantage of. Their path to victory is to replicate what Purdue did in the Big Ten Championship game. Once again, the difference in this game will be Aday Mara. No Paul Szelc won't be officiating this game!  ADDENDUM - Solo Ball was reported as being in a boot while this was recorded. If he's not able to play that is a huge drop-off. Even if he plays he's not going to be 100%, much like Yaxel.  3. Hot Takes and Gimmicky Top Five Commercial Takes Starts at 1:20:48 You know AI companies are running out of money because they can't even get Snoop Dogg on their commercials. Charles Barkley will say anything. Has Jennifer Garner acted in anything besides Capital One commercials in the last decade? AT&T did predict the Michigan Tennessee game. Are they putting the cocaine back in Coke? Tall Boozer looks like a normal Boozer, small Boozer looks like an AI recreation of a Boozer.  4. Potpourri: WBB, Hockey, and Football Bits Starts at 1:34:22 Women's basketball was dumptrucked, but at least we now can empathize with all the teams that played MBB. The game has gotten two chalky; it's the same four one-seeds, repeats of the same games. Is there a ceiling on this team, unless they suddenly double the money they put into it? David's hockey takes: Denver is not like or MSU who's going to take the puck off your stick, and those are the teams that Michigan struggles with. He likes Michigan with four lines and snipers versus a smaller goalie—shot quality game. Brian hates that it's Denver in the tournament. Is there a team that's looked better than Michigan in the Playoff? Wisconsin-NoDak is a pick 'em but matchup-wise Wisconsin would rather be playing Michigan. North Dakota got walked to the Frozen Four. If we lose Seth has to wear Denver jersey to the podcast. Football bits: We're in the ping-pong table removal phase. It's okay that Underwood's throwing interceptions, because he's trying them. Non-insane QB run approach. Next QB is Carr. Hiter hype continues, Salesi Moa is popping. Eli Owens fullback talk. Brian doesn't buy the talk of Babalola starting when he's been hurt, but Sprague at RG can only mean that because Frazier is securing a spot. Defensively the DT situation is good on Palepale and not good that Lea'ea is "smart" vs "much larger." Seth loves the Edokpayi talk, Benny Patterson is a Mike-Mo. Kind of a good sign the three young LBs are getting a lot of talk (albeit with a simplification). Good sign that Bracy is getting talked up for his coverage.

Michigan defeated Arizona 91-73, led by Aday Mara's dominant performance, who posted 26 points and nine rebounds. After the game, The Michigan Insider's Sam Webb and Josh Newkirk dissected the beatdown, emphasizing Michigan's dominance both inside and outside the arc, without Yaxel Lendeborg for much of the game due to injury. Its shooting prowess proved a major separator, as the Wolverines hit 12 threes to Arizona's six. Furthermore, Elliot Cadeau and Trey McKenney served as the perimeter engines, with Cadeau recording 10 assists and McKenney scoring 16 points off the bench on 6/9 shooting and 4/6 from three. Despite Lendeborg's injury, Michigan is now favored to win the national championship against UConn. However, we detail why the Huskies, known for their strong defense and balanced scoring, are likely to be a more formidable foe than Arizona proved to be.
