Bill Oram: I've been told that when they were talking to Drummond, he made it clear he didn't just want to have the Dwight Howard role. He wants to still get his post-up touches (until Bron/AD back)

Windhorst The people on the league I'm talking to today are giving me the side eye and they're going this is going end up with Draymond getting a new contract in GS LeBron getting a new contract in LA and AD getting a new contract in Washington

Michael Beasley on playing Dwight Howard Do it to him with no condom Real raw

Windhorst LeBron's intention is to play and the focus right now is making a deal with the Lakers They are negotiating I think he's going to try and make a deal with the Lakers The league generally believes the two sides are going to come together

Windhorst In the last few days I dont think Philly really loved their position in the running Their big pitch was trading for Jaylen Brown but LeBron kept making it a point to reach out to the 76ers players and give them hope that they were still involved

Windhorst Some of the owners who are trying to get LeBron were talking to each other and were like have you heard anything Nope Have you heard anything Nope LeBron is reaching out and talking to players on some of these teams and they report back to their GM or coach Hey LeBron called

Rich Paul On LeBron James not wanting to be a third option on the Lakers behind Luka and Austin When the coach asks you to do something and play a certain way he doesn't know how to buck Obviously I'm not the third option But if this is what I'm being asked to do then I'm going to do that
