    Tuesday was anything but quiet for the New Orleans Pelicans. In the span of a few hours, the franchise made a bold trade with the Indiana Pacers, securing a second first-round pick in this year’s NBA Draft, and then found itself back in the headlines for a much less celebratory reason: Dejounte Murray’s brutally honest interview on The Pivot Podcast.

    The Los Angeles Lakers once again face an offseason of tough decisions. Following another early playoff exit and a season marked by inconsistency, the franchise is looking to reshape its roster. Addressing the center position appears to be near the top of the list. One name that continues to surface is Cleveland Cavaliers big man Jarrett Allen. Allen, a 2022 All-Star and defensive anchor, could be an ideal fit in L.A. as the team looks to improve its interior presence and overall size.

    Former NBA All-Star Jermaine O’Neal has joined the list of voices questioning the methods and leadership of longtime Miami Heat president Pat Riley. During an appearance on the Out the Mud podcast hosted by Tony Allen and Zach Randolph, O’Neal became the latest former player to cast doubt on the way Riley handles player relationships and roster decisions, especially when it comes to veterans. He joined the Heat for the 2008-09 season, playing less than two full seasons in Miami before departing.

    After a hard-fought run to the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks fell short of their NBA Finals aspirations. Despite the playoff exit at the hands of the Indiana Pacers and some criticism, head coach Tom Thibodeau is expected to return for the 2025-26 NBA season. According to multiple reports, the Knicks’ front office has decided to retain Thibodeau despite the postseason loss, signaling their belief that the team can win a championship under his leadership.
