Fans will know the results of the NBA vote in the coming days employed Forming teams in Las Vegas and Seattle by the 2028–2029 season.

Expansion has always been on the NBA’s agenda, especially with its continued success and expanding reach. It has been at the forefront of globalization in sports, possibly including the introduction of NBA Europe.

It was recently reported that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver would be working with FIBA ​​to launch a league similar to soccer in Europe, specifically in major cities.

NBA insider Mark Stein, however, does not agree with the idea, expressing concern on the “All-NBA Podcast” that the league may be biting off more than it can chew.

“I’ve spent a lot of time watching soccer in England, and I’m just trying to imagine NBA Europe franchises in London and Manchester that would essentially be expansion teams. You know, start-up teams. It’s different when you’re talking about Real Madrid and Barcelona going from the EuroLeague to NBA Europe,” Steen said.

“Those teams have a history. Those teams already have a fan base. They’ll obviously bring immediate credibility to NBA Europe. But a large portion of NBA Europe is in cities that don’t currently have basketball. And how is that going to work if the talent level isn’t good?”

Some are already concerned that competition will weaken if the NBA expands to Las Vegas and Seattle. So what’s more if NBA Europe moves forward? Silver and FIBA ​​are reportedly planning to start with a 12-team or 16-team league.

Europe’s talented players may spurn the NBA to stay closer to home. At the start of the current season, 71 Europeans were part of the opening-night roster, the most in league history.

In January, the NBA held two games featuring the Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic in Berlin and London. Meanwhile, Paris has hosted five Games since 2020.

水晶宫后卫贾迪·坎沃特 (Jaydee Canvot) 透露了为什么尽管存在广泛质疑，加盟老鹰队还是有意义的，因为这位 19 岁的球员在马克·盖伊 (Marc Guehi) 离开后在英超联赛中确立了自己的地位。

与 Foot Mercato 交谈，坎沃特解释了保证的上场时间和奥利弗格拉斯纳的项目如何说服他做出这一举动。

当坎沃特开始在塞尔赫斯特公园确立自己作为马克·格希的替代者的地位时，他一直在谈论在水晶宫的生活。

9月他从法国图卢兹加盟老鹰队 约2300万欧元。当时，他被视为马克·盖伊的替代者，去年夏天，马克·盖伊一直与退出有着密切的联系。

直到一月转会窗口，这位英格兰国脚加盟曼城后，他的离开才发生。他的离开为坎沃特打开了大门，坎沃特现在在水晶宫最近三场英超比赛中打满了每一分钟。其中包括3-1战胜托特纳姆热刺队的出色表现。

水晶宫为何上诉坎沃特

转会到水晶宫并不是很多人对这名后卫的预期。事实上，此举发生后，一些人提出了质疑。不过，这位 19 岁的年轻人并没有听这些话。

“向我展示的项目非常简单：你将从第一季开始玩，” 他说。

“我被告知我会得到上场时间，我们谈论的是一家近年来培养了奥利塞、埃兹和其他年轻天才球员的俱乐部。

“这自然吸引了我。我还与格拉斯纳教练进行了交谈：他是一位顶级教练。他在以前的俱乐部中做了一些伟大的事情，特别是在法兰克福，他赢得了欧罗巴联赛。对我来说，一切看起来都很好。

“我在图卢兹待了一年，然后直接去了英超。对某些人来说，这似乎是一个不合逻辑的选择，因为他们会去德国，一个对法国球员和年轻人有利的联赛。但英超是我想要的。”

向格伊学习，研究萨利巴

格希在一月份的离开为坎沃特创造了立即的机会，但也带来了巨大的压力。这位前水晶宫队长带领俱乐部赢得了他们的第一个重要奖杯。他还使自己成为俱乐部联赛中最可靠的中后卫之一。

格希非常愿意向这位被视为他的替代者的人提供建议，坎沃特对此表示赞赏。

“马克是一名顶级球员。他非常出色，” 他补充道。

“他和我聊了很多，给了我建议，因为我们都是中后卫。他是我最常观察的后卫，还有萨利巴。他们的风格和我最相似。”

自从格希退出后，坎沃特在水晶宫最近三场联赛中都首发出场。这名后卫每次都打满了 90 分钟。

他并没有被要求在一夜之间取代他的前任，但他已经承担的责任表明水晶宫的长期规划正在悄然成形。

尽管他年纪轻轻，但已经展现出了很多潜力，老鹰队球迷对另一位球员充满希望。

Crystal Palace defender JD Canavut has revealed why joining the Eagles despite widespread doubt is worth it, as the 19-year-old has established himself in the Premier League following the departure of Marc Guhi.

Talking to Foot MercatoCanavot explained how the guarantee of playing time and Oliver Glasner’s project convinced him to make the move.

Canavot has been speaking about life at Crystal Palace as he begins to establish himself as Marc Guhi’s replacement at Selhurst Park.

He joined the Eagles from Toulouse, France in September. For approximately €23m. At the time he was seen as a replacement for Marc Guhy, who was heavily linked with an exit the previous summer.

That exit did not occur until the January transfer window, when the England international joined Manchester City. His departure opened the door for Canavot, who has now played every minute of Palace’s last three Premier League games. This included a standout performance in the 3–1 win over Tottenham.

Why did Crystal Palace appeal to Canvote?

The move to Crystal Palace was not the path many expected for the defender. In fact, when this happened, some people questioned this step. However, the 19-year-old did not listen to him.

“The project presented to me was very simple: you would play from the first season, He said.

“I was told I would get playing time, and we are talking about a club that has produced players like Olise, Eze and other young talents in recent years.

“Naturally, it appealed to me. I also talked to coach Glasner: a top coach. He had done some great things with his previous clubs, especially in Frankfurt where he won the Europa League. For me, everything looked good.

“I spent a year at Toulouse and then went straight to the Premier League. For some people, it may seem an illogical choice, because they would have gone to Germany, a league that is good for French players and youngsters. But the Premier League is what I wanted.”

Learning from Guhi and studying Saliba

Guhi’s departure in January created an immediate opportunity for Canavot, but also significant pressure. The former Palace captain led the club to its first major trophy. He also established himself at the club as one of the league’s most reliable centre-backs.

Guéhi was very willing to offer his advice to the man who is seen as his replacement, something Canavot appreciates.

“Mark is a top player. He’s incredibly good,” He added.

“He talked to me a lot, he gave me advice because we are both central defenders. He is the defender I look up to the most along with William Saliba. They are the ones who have the same style as me.”

Canavot has started each of Palace’s last three league games since Guhi’s exit. The defender has completed the full 90 minutes on every occasion.

He is not being asked to replace his predecessor overnight, but the responsibility he is already taking on suggests Crystal Palace’s long-term plan is quietly taking shape.

Despite his young age, there is a lot of promise already displayed and Eagles fans have another player to look forward to.

Even before the start of the 2025–26 season, Cooper was the favorite to win the Flagg Rookie of the Year award. A good opportunity awaits him with the Dallas Mavericks, as after the Luka Doncic trade, he has a chance to step up immediately and become the superstar talent the team needs to develop. And for its price, the Flag is as good as advertised, if not better.

While Flagg’s averages of 20.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season are certainly good enough for him to win the prestigious award, Kon Nueppel’s consistency for a much-improved Charlotte Hornets team could take the award away from the Mavericks star.

NBA insider Mark Stein, who has many ties to the Mavericks, also believes that the conflict between what is best for Dallas at the end of the year and what is best for Flagg from a personal standpoint could hinder Flagg’s ROTY candidacy.

“The Mavs have 18 games left, and the truth is, if they can go 0-18 it would be the best thing for them. That’s the way the system is,” Steen said on the All NBA Podcast. “The way the system is structured, the best thing for the Mavs is to lose, and lose royally, and that’s obviously not going to be very good if you’re chasing Rookie of the Year.”

Mavs face crucial year in Cooper Flagg-focused rebuild

As Steen said, 2026 is the last time the Mavericks control their first-round pick until 2031. It simply means Dallas has all the incentive in the world to try to lose as many games as possible to put itself in a better position to add a blue-chip prospect in the 2026 NBA Draft.

This will be the priority of the team. It is imperative for Flagg to acquire a potential long-term co-star if he is to bounce back from the Luka Doncic tragedy.

It looks like the Boston Celtics are on the verge of seeing Jayson Tatum return after suffering a setback during last year’s playoffs.

According to The Stein Report on Substack, Marc Stein, a veteran basketball writer, believes in a “conspiracy theory” as to when and why Tatum will return. Basically, Tatum would like to return to the Celtics’ games on NBC.

“PPS – Boston has games March 10 (at San Antonio) and March 22 (home game against Minnesota) on NBC. If you buy the conspiracy theory that Jayson Tatum wants to make his comeback from an Achilles tear the network is running extended coverage behind the scenes of his rehab.”

However, media personality Bill Simmons believes Tatum will return much earlier on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks.

Tatum suffered an Achilles injury during the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the New York Knicks last May. A series in which the Celtics lost in six games.

Tatum finished last season averaging 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game.

Currently, the Celtics have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference at 40–20. At the same time, they have won eight of their last ten matches.

Tatum won an NBA championship with Boston in 2024. He is also a 6-time NBA All-Star and was the 2023 NBA All-Star Game MVP.

Additionally, he has won two Olympic gold medals with Team USA, in Tokyo in 2020 and Paris in 2024.

Tatum has been with Boston since the 2017–18 NBA season as the third overall pick out of Duke.

As the buyout season approaches, Khris Middleton’s future is one that is being monitored heavily around the league. Middleton, an NBA champion with the Milwaukee Bucks and a smooth-shooting wing, could emerge as one of the biggest buyout candidates on the market if he chooses to pursue a buyout.

Middleton was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in the deal that sent Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards at the NBA trade deadline. Since the trade, Middleton has suited up for the Mavericks, playing in four games, and even had a 25-point outing for the Mavericks on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers. But his name is still being discussed as a buyout candidate.

“Is there any chance we can convince Khris Middleton to buy?”.@TheSteinLine I wonder if the Pistons could be a landing spot for the Mavericks small forward @talkhoops

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Mavericks have allowed Middleton to control his own destiny, determining whether he wants to stay with the team for the remainder of the season or seek a buyout to join a contender. This has led Steen to openly consider whether Middleton could be a candidate to join the surging Pistons, who are on top of the Eastern Conference.

“I have to think. There are a handful of contending, playoff-bound teams, and I have to think the Pistons are among them. Wondering, is there a chance we can convince Khris Middleton for a buyout? What I reported last night was basically the Mavericks putting the ball in Khris Middleton’s court. If Khris Middleton wants a buyout to join a playoff-bound team, Dallas Will gladly cooperate.”

The Pistons would be an interesting landing spot for Middleton. Only a few years ago, he was the number two option behind Giannis Antetokounmpo on the Bucks and often found himself taking clutch shots in close game situations. But due to injuries as well as his contract, the Bucks “expired” his time with the organization by trading him to the Wizards in a deal that also included Kyle Kuzma.

Khris Middleton is still proving to be an effective player, averaging 14 points per game and 35% from three in 5 games played with the Mavericks. With the Wizards, his numbers were more modest during the 34 games he played with the team, as he averaged $10.3 points per game and shot 33% from the field. Perhaps a reunion with the Pistons could bode well for Middleton. He was drafted in the second round with the 39th pick by the Pistons in 2012 and was eventually traded to the Bucks in 2013.

The Pistons have emerged as a contender, adopting their old-school physicality and rapid development as players like Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren have emerged as young stars in the league; However, the team lacks consistent shooting on volume. In Monday’s loss to San Antonio, the Pistons made only 7 of their 36 three-point attempts, while the Spurs made 18. Middleton could provide a nice spark in playmaking and shooting for the Pistons as they look to further seize control of the Eastern Conference and make a run at the NBA Finals.

The Pistons will play the Thunder tonight at 7:30 Eastern. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.

芝加哥公牛隊有望再次進入附加賽錦標賽，他們最近一場胜利是在德里克·羅斯的球衣退役儀式上以 114-111 戰胜波士頓凱爾特人隊，今年戰績為 23-22，在東部聯盟排名第九。過去幾年，他們一直徘徊在中間，而且這種平庸的狀態似乎沒有盡頭。

公牛隊的一部分球迷希望球隊在轉向青年運動方面更加積極主動。他們至少希望為一些合同即將到期的球員獲得合理的回報，其中最著名的是尼古拉·武切維奇、科比·懷特和阿約·多孫穆。

至少，如果 NBA 內部人士馬克·斯坦因的最新報告有任何跡象的話，公牛隊似乎將在交易市場上表現活躍。

“人們普遍預計公牛隊將連續第二個冬天參與某種賽季內的交易，”斯坦寫道。 “今年冬天，一直有傳言稱公牛隊渴望利用一些即將到期的合同來採取行動……科比·懷特和阿約·多孫穆都是最常被提及的潛在離職球員。”

公牛隊將交易科比·懷特和阿約·多孫穆？

懷特和多孫穆分別只有25歲和26歲，但他們的合同狀況使他們成為需要保持資產線運轉的公牛隊的合理交易候選人。他們倆都可能在幾個月後以自由球員身份離開，所以為他們得到一些東西可能是一場胜利。

ClutchPoints NBA內部人士布雷特·西格爾此前的報導也表明，公牛隊確實正在市場上尋找懷特和多森穆的穩定回報，而斯坦因的最新報導只是為這些謠言火上澆油。
