Ex-Heat teammates Herro and Adebayo clash in Vegas over social-media jabs

The incident occurred in Las Vegas during NBA Summer League play, with background context including a recent Heat trade involving Herro and a graphic Herro posted critiquing midrange shooting and a series of leaked DMs between the two.

LaMelo Ball Traded to Minnesota in Blockbuster Four-Team NBA Deal

In a four-team blockbuster, the Minnesota Timberwolves land LaMelo Ball (along with Josh Green and Isaiah Evans’s draft rights), Brooklyn nets Julius Randle and Joshua Jefferson’s rights, while the Chicago Bulls acquire Nic Claxton and the Charlotte Hornets receive Naz Reid, Mouhamadou Gueye, Matteo Spagnolo’s draft rights and a large bundle of future picks and pick swaps. The trade also creates the NBA’s largest trade‑exception (~$40.77 million) for Ball’s outgoing salary, with all sides confirming the deal after salary‑matching adjustments and a July 9 finalization following Gueye’s trade restriction. Nets GM Sean Marks publicly praised the move as part of retooling Brooklyn’s roster.

Quiet Bid: LeBron’s Free Agency Remains Wide Open

LeBron James' free agency remains unusually quiet, with no direct meetings and most outreach funneled through his agent Rich Paul; Cavaliers assistant GM Brandon Weems is the only executive reported to have had direct contact. Ten days in, the top pursuers—the Cavaliers, Heat, Warriors, 76ers, Timberwolves, and Nuggets—still don’t know where he stands. Paul’s Game Over podcast has become the chatter hub, including a Philly pitch from Bob Myers, while analysts outline contract ideas and selling points as teams weigh fit and championship odds. Curry called a potential Warriors pairing a pipe dream but not impossible, and Austin Reaves praised James's impact on his career.
