Read excerpt
News, notes and observations from a busy Monday in the NBA … LeBron to Le Knicks? LeBron James shook up the basketball landscape this summer when he left Los Angeles for Philadelphia. But, according to James, he nearly took his talents a little further north up the I-95 corridor.

LOS ANGELES—It began with an apology. Trent Redden, the Clippers freshly minted (interim) president of basketball operations, one of the last men standing after the NBA took a cleaver to L.A.’s front office, sat on a dais on Monday and, on behalf of the franchise, asked for forgiveness. “Obviously this took a little longer than we had hoped,” Redden said. “[The media] deserved to hear from us before this, our fans deserved to hear from us before this, and for that we’re sorry.

NBA Offseason Winners and Losers: LeBron James’s Impact, What to Make of Miami (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With The Decision 4.0 in the books, it’s time to take stock of the NBA offseason. Sure, there are some remaining roster moves out there. Some big ones. Detroit has to come to terms with All-NBA center Jalen Duren, Denver has to figure out if it can afford Peyton Watson and someone has to sign Jonathan Kuminga. Still, with the big pieces off the board and cap space (mostly) dried up, free agency is in its final days. So who moved the needle? Did anyone push themselves into title contention? Did a
