Doc Rivers says he’s in constant communication with Giannis Antetokounmpo

NBA Communications: The 2024-25 Kia All-NBA First Team: Giannis Antetokounmpo of @Bucks Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of @okcthunder Nikola Jokić of @nuggets Donovan Mitchell of @cavs Jayson Tatum of @celtics -via x.com / May 23, 2025

Before March, Randle was averaging 0.92 points per isolation, per GeniusIQ, which ranked 53rd out of 64 players with at least 150 isolations. But since then, Randle is averaging 1.12 points per isolation, which ranks sixth among 21 players with at least 150 plays and places him next to star scorers like Jalen Brunson, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The other former Knick who joined Randle in the trade also found his legs as the season went on. Through his first 25 games in Minnesota, DiVincenzo had made just 32% of his 3-pointers, and though he rose to 37% by mid-January, a toe strain kept him out of the lineup for more than a month. But after DiVincenzo returned, he made a scorching 45% of his 3-point tries, which was even better than the Timberwolves expected when they added him to their perimeter rotation last fall. All of a sudden, a once-rotten trade looked splendid, as all the key parts were flourishing for their new teams. -via ESPN / May 22, 2025

Chris Mannix: A Giannis-for-Mobley swap (something @BillSimmons talked about recently) comes up in conversations with agents/NBA front office types. Who says no? Big swing by Cleveland to maximize Mitchell/Garland. Bucks get a franchise big under a long-term deal. Intriguing. -via x.com / May 21, 2025
