Is star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown about to take another leap?
Whether or not he will have the level of supporting cast to do so is another question entirely with the departure of players like Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, and Luke Kornet. But could this scenario still provide the perfect palate for Brown to showcase his ability to lead a team nonetheless?
The folks behind the "WEEI Boston's Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip from a recent episode of their "Greg Hill Show" touching on this specific topic. Check it out below!

Bulls trade proposal sends Coby White to West contender for coveted 15.3 ppg forward
This offseason has been a quiet but wild ride for the Chicago Bulls. Over the past year, the Bulls' roster has changed dramatically. After finishing 2024 with a team built around the star duo of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, both of those wings have found themselves in Sacramento, with Chicago's youth movement taking over. This offseason has had plenty of twists and turns around the league, but the Bulls have mostly stayed out of the spotlight. However, as free agency has wound down, Chicago's lack of a deal with Josh Giddey has begun stealing headlines. Of course, the Bulls aren't the only team in that boat with a restricted free agent, and they could swoop in and make a deal with one of those other squads. As suggested by Bleacher Nation's Elias Schuster, the Bulls could make a deal for Jonathan Kuminga. A potential sign-and-trade could see Kuminga securing his desired contract while Chicago sends back Coby White on his $12.8 million deal. In the proposed trade, the Bulls would also get Trayce Jackson-Davis and a top-eight protected first-round pick. As Schuster mentioned, the Warriors simply need to get off of Kuminga before things get even worse in the Bay. While giving up Jackson-Davis and a future pick might not be ideal, getting back another proven scorer in White, who could be a perfect fit off the bench, would be hard for Golden State to turn down, especially at his salary. This deal won't necessarily solve all of the problems for either team, but it could be a step in the right direction for both franchises.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson breaks silence on Pacers $108 million news
The Milwaukee Bucks made one of the more shocking moves in the offseason, signing Myles Turner to a four-year deal. There's no debate that Turner will be an excellent fit for the Bucks, giving them a much better and younger player than Brook Lopez. However, because Turner played his entire career with the Indiana Pacers and was a key piece in their success during the 2025 NBA playoffs, many expected him to return on a lucrative deal. It even shocked some in the league, including New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson, who was stunned by the Pacers' decision to allow him to walk. "I thought the Myles Turner thing was weird," Brunson said on an episode of his podcast. "Like he just said, 'It's been a decade here' and all this stuff and everything, and then, boom, gone." There looked to be some confusion between the Pacers and Turner. MORE: It was either that the ownership didn't want to pay him what he was looking for, or they asked him to look for other deals and come back to tell them what they had to offer. Ultimately, Turner and his agent decided to go in a different direction and sign with the Bucks, the Pacers' biggest rival. That will likely impact the Knicks if the Bucks are as good as many think they could be heading into next year. There will likely be some growing pains for the Bucks, but Turner is a perfect fit for what Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to do on the court for a big man.

What irks Boston Celtics fans more, Marcus Smart to the Lakers, or Ben Simmons rumors?
What are Boston Celtics fans more irked by, Marcus Smart to the Los Angeles Lakers, or Ben Simmons rumors? The Celtics have been linked to the former Los Angeles Clippers big man despite his well-publicized travails during his stints with the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers before joining the Clippers in the same week that Smart, former Boston floor general, signed a deal with the Lakers after being bought out by the Washington Wizards. Needless to say, neither of these offseason news items went over well with a large portion of the Boston faithful, with some riled up by the possibility of seeing a beloved former player suiting up in gold and purple, and others cringing at the notion of Simmons playing for the Celtics. The folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at what is behind the visceral responses to both. Check it out below!
