Josh Hart says Derrick White is more impactful than Jayson Tatum
Josh Hart on ranking players in potential Celtics vs. Mavericks series: Just impact-wise, I might put Derrick White as more impactful than Jayson Tatum. Look at every main play in the last six minutes of the fourth to overtime, every big play, [White] made. He’s probably one of the most impactful players because he does just everything on the court and does everything at a high level.
Chris Fedor: The Cavs are expected to ask for permission to interview Johnny Bryant, the Associate Head Coach of the New York Knicks and the belief around the league is that the Cavs are also hoping to have an interview with Micah Nori, the assistant coach from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Rival executives monitoring Thunder in free-agent center market for players like Isaiah Hartenstein, Jonas Valanciunas
Rival executives are monitoring the Thunder as a potential team in the free-agent center market this summer, with several names available, such as Nic Claxton – who can potentially command over $20 million on the market, as noted by HoopsHype – Isaiah Hartenstein, and Jonas Valanciunas, who’s not expected to return to New Orleans, as previously reported by HoopsHype.
Olympiacos, ASVEL interested in Evan Fournier?
Are ASVEL and Olympiakos interested in Evan Fournier? This rumor circulated over the weekend, especially during the EuroLeague Final Four in Berlin. It seems plausible since the French player had a very challenging season and a half with the Knicks, where he was relegated to the end of the bench. However, Fournier’s representatives, without specifically addressing this rumor, confirm that a return to Europe is not currently a priority for the French shooting guard. Although he will undoubtedly be a “free agent” this summer, since the Pistons can release him by forgoing the $19 million team option they hold on his last contract year, Evan Fournier wants to continue his career in the NBA. At just 31 years old, he is still keen on playing in the league.
League sources say that OG Anunoby is also expected to remain with the Knicks, although he doesn’t provide the type of scoring punch the Sixers are seeking anyway.
