Spears I'm hearing that he's LeBron's likely coming back to the Lakers and I'm also hearing that one of his old teammates from Cleveland Kevin Love could likely be joining the Lakers too

Buha I spoke with several Lakers people there was an acknowledgement we might have taken a step back If you're myopic need to win a Championship this season that's obviously not the case But we can win 50 next Summer see what trades we need to make Then in 2028 can be a true contender

Adam Silver We have to finish up the schedule and where LeBron plays will affect the schedule So I would like him to make his announcement alreadyteams are calling us the networks are calling us and everybody wants to lock in the schedule It will influence how we set the schedule

Adam Silver on the Kawhi trade I'm hopeful that it will wrap up this summer I want to clarify The league did not pause the trade The parties to the trade made a decision not to go forward given that the investigation remained open

Haynes Michael Porter Jr's agent is scheduled to meet with the Brooklyn Nets towards the tail-end of summer leagueIf it becomes apparent early on that an extension is not in play then I do believe the next step will be the Brooklyn Nets and Michael Porter Jr potentially parting ways

Adam Silver on the Kawhi Leonard trade and investigation Im hopeful that it will wrap up this summer The league did not pause the trade The parties to the trade made a decision not to go forward given that the investigation remained open The investigation needs to run its course
