Heat Central: Rick Carlisle explains how the Mavericks beat the the Big 3 Heat in the finals in 2011: “A picture from the finals where Kidd was picking up full court against LeBron James. We were going to be full court, make nothing easy, and be persistent. Always going to be there. We had a zone defense we developed during the previous summer to prepare for that season. — We knew our zone would have to help us in that series because the matchups weren’t there. We were going to be in attack mode, play fast, play random for great opportunities… We had great chemistry. Nowitzki showed that year and in those finals how great he was.” (Via @DraymondShow) — 7/31/2026 x.com

Sam Amick: "I had a really strange experience about three weeks before (LeBron) made his decision. I got a reminder that in this job, on the one hand, we're playing in the sandbox, right? It's not that serious. On the other, you clearly have fans and people out there who think it would be funny to get us to report things incorrectly. So a few weeks before he made his decision, I basically got catfished from a reporting standpoint and it was pretty wild. Somebody gets your number, and I'm assuming maybe they used AI to write some of it, a pretty compelling text message, claiming that they were somebody else who I knew but didn't know all that well. Long story short, it was weird because it was like, they said that it was Philly. And on the one hand, you might go, oh, did you get an early tip? And it's like, without getting in the weeds too much, no, it absolutely was not an early tip. It was a total scam." — 7/31/2026 YouTube

Amid active sign-and-trade interest from the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers, along with the possibility of re-signing with the Atlanta Hawks, another suitor has expressed interest in free agent forward Jonathan Kuminga.  After missing out on their pursuit of LeBron James, the Minnesota Timberwolves have also expressed interest in Kuminga with their starting power forward spot up for grabs and their $6.06 million taxpayer mid-level exception available for the taking, league sources told HoopsHype. — 7/31/2026 HoopsHype

LeBron James joins the 76ers as their jersey patch deal with Crypto.com is set to expire after this season. His presence, should it continue past this year, could turn the next jersey sponsorship into one of the NBA’s most coveted sponsorship opportunities. The partnership between the 76ers and Crypto.com was announced in 2021. Although no terms were disclosed, reports at the time said it was a six-year deal worth more than $10 million annually. The Golden State Warriors are believed to have the league’s most lucrative patch deal, with an artificial intelligence company paying the team more than $50 million annually. The Sixers’ deal will expire at the end of the 2026-27 NBA season, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Front Office Sports. — 7/31/2026 Front Office Sports

It’s hard to overstate the significance of James joining the 76ers just ahead of a potential bidding war for the jersey patch, according to consultant and former Citi executive Ian Cropp. “It’s a huge deal to have him there from a sponsorship perspective,” Cropp tells FOS. “I know he’s not quite [Lionel] Messi going to Inter Miami in terms of his ability to win games single-handedly, but from a global star power perspective it’s on par.” The star power James brings could widen the field of interested suitors, according to Cropp, who runs sports consultancy 575 Partners. The 76ers could receive calls from international companies, as well as those in sectors that in the past may not have considered an NBA jersey patch. — 7/31/2026 Front Office Sports

Multiple reports have suggested that James, who agreed to sign with Philly last week, may not actually live in the city where he’ll play. Instead, James could reside in New York City and commute the 100 miles to Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia or to the Sixers’ practice facility in Camden, N.J., just across the Delaware River. To speed up the trip, he could do so via helicopter, those reports say, which would take approximately 45 minutes. James has not publicly commented on his living arrangements. His plans have yet to be finalized, according to a league source who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. — 7/31/2026 New York Times

New York has been conservative with allowing helipads on tops of buildings since 1977, when a helicopter tipped over while attempting to land on the MetLife building in Midtown Manhattan. Some remain, but they are not for commercial use; instead, they are allowed for hospitals or police. Though he has yet to change the city’s policies, New York mayor Zohran Mamdani campaigned on further restrictions for air travel, saying last April that “we must end non-essential helicopter flights immediately.” Conditions must be ideal. Visibility is the most common reason for helicopter delays or cancellations. And remember, the environment around James matters here. LA Clippers wing Kawhi Leonard famously commuted from San Diego via helicopter, while Kobe Bryant choppered from his home in Orange County, Calif., to Los Angeles Lakers games. But that was in Southern California, where skies are clearer than they are in the Northeast. Fog is common in the New York-to-Philadelphia corridor, especially in the mornings. — 7/31/2026 New York Times

NBA Courtside: Rich Paul on why LeBron didn’t choose the Spurs: “It’s similar to the Knicks these are two teams that finished last two teams in the season. Spurs were the runner up. And when you have a guy like Wemby you have to respect his growth, his position on the Spurs. It’s not easy LeBron James shows up it just doesn’t matter who you are.” (Via Game Over) — 7/31/2026 x.com

Anthony Slater: "Rui Hachimura is a guy that (Warriors) looked at. They wouldn't have gone to the full mid-level type number that they were willing to get to for LeBron James because again that would have cost Moses Moody on a trade and then a Draymond Green pay cut that clearly Draymond was executing only for LeBron James." — 7/31/2026 YouTube

Dillon Brooks on the viral meme of him laughing at LeBron James from the stands: What’s funny is I got a ticket [for the game] from Rich Paul…. It’s a good meme. He was talking to a LA fan, he was like ‘I know you throwing shade at me. I know, I know.’ So I’m looking at him like ‘oh my god he’s really worried about this fan right here? You’re down 3-0 now.’ I’m just cracking up. I’m telling my agent on the side ‘damn he’s really focused on the wrong sh*t right now.’ — 7/23/2026 YouTube
