[Mannix] There’s an increasing belief among rival execs that if Phoenix can’t land Jimmy Butler, the Suns will engage on a Durant deal. Phoenix working two fronts right now.

[Scotto] Kevin Durant is now listed as doubtful with an ankle sprain for tomorrow's Phoenix Suns game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Jake Fischer: “There is almost certainty that the Lakers are going to be making some type of move for some type of big man. [Walker Kessler, Myles Turner]—I am not expecting there to be a deal for either.”

Gilbert Arenas wears a homemade Luka Lakers jersey to celebrate the trade. Kenyon Martin: "You don't get to do this. The Euro hater." Arenas: "On another team he's a 'Euro'. On [the Lakers] he's a superstar...Luka welcome home!"

[McMenamin] Pelinka: "We know we have a need for a big." He says the market is "dry" for big men and expects a "move around the margins" between now and Thursday. A bigger move in the offseason. Pelinka says he will consult with JJ Redick on roster moves that fit his coaching vision.

[MacMahon] Executives around the NBA are reportedly “furious” that the Lakers were the only team allowed to bid for Luka Dončić, per @espn_macmahon

[Rapoport] The Texans are hiring Rams TEs coach and pass game coordinator Nick Caley as their new OC, as CJ Stroud and the Houston offense get a new play-caller, per me and @TomPelissero. Caley drew interest from the #Jets and #Patriots. He was selective and lands in Houston.

[Townsend] I'm told that this was Nico Harrison's deal, that it took several weeks to play out after the Mavericks reached out to the Lakers, and that Harrison got full support from Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont.

[Rob Mahoney] Imagine thinking that Luka Doncic is a losing player. Now imagine betting the future of your franchise on it.
