Marc Stein and Ralph Lawler have been named the recipients of the Basketball Hall of Fame’s 2019 Curt Gowdy Media Award.

Stein currently writes for the New York Times and was previously a longtime reporter for ESPN.

Lawler has been the play-by-play man for the Los Angeles Clippers for more than 30 years.

Kristaps Porzingis had a wish list of four teams for a potential trade with the Dallas Mavericks omitted. 

Porzingis had the Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors on his list, according to two people with knowledge of the list.

The initial reporting following the trade indicated that Porzingis planned to sign the qualifying offer with the Mavericks as a restricted free agent. Comments made since then have suggested a long-term deal between the Mavericks and Porzingis now has a better probability. 

The Los Angeles Clippers waived Michael Beasley. 

Beasley was acquired by the Clippers from the Lakers in a deal that also included Mike Muscala and Ivica Zubac.

Beasley averaged 7.0 points and 2.3 rebounds with the Lakers this season.

The Clippers now have an open roster spot.

The Los Angeles Clippers are not expected to have Jimmy Butler as one of their top-tier targets in free agency. Butler may not even be pursued at all by the Clippers.

The Clippers are known to prefer Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant for their 2019 free agency.

Butler was traded by the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Philadelphia 76ers in November. With the cost to acquire Butler and the ability to offer him an extra season, the 76ers are widely considered the frontrunners to re-sign him.

Butler has had strong ties to Los Angeles over the years.

The Los Angeles Clippers will waive Milos Teodosic.

Teodosic has been expected to return to Europe once his contract with the Clippers expired.

The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to trade Michael Beasley and Ivica Zubac to the Los Angeles Clippers for Mike Muscala.

Muscala gives the Lakers a floor spacing big.

The move opens up a roster spot for the Lakers.

The Clippers will likely waive Beasley.

The Los Angeles Clippers have waived Marcin Gortat.

The Clippers acquired Gortat from the Washington Wizards last offseason.

Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports reports Gortat has interest in joining the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors will wait to make a decision on who to sign on the buyout market.

The Los Angeles Clippers acquired two future first round picks from the Philadelphia 76ers in their trade of Tobias Harris.

The Clippers are on the list of teams Anthony Davis would be willing to commit to long-term if traded, but the team didn't execute the Harris trade specifically to pursue Davis.

The Pelicans could have interest in receiving the two new picks as part of a Davis trade with the Clippers either before Thursday's deadline or in the offseason.

The Clippers considered Harris a max level player on the open market and that would interfere with their pursuit of several All-NBA-caliber players.

The Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to trade Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, and Mike Scott to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Sixers are sending back Landry Shamet, Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala, a 2020 1st-round pick, an unprotected 1st-round pick in 2021 via Miami, and 2nd-round picks in 2021 and 2023.

The Sixers are also planning to re-sign both Harris and Jimmy Butler this summer to create a long-term Big 4 with Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid. 

The New York Knicks were provided a list of four teams Kristaps Porzingis deemed acceptable as trade partners. The list was provided by Porzingis' agent and brother, Janis Porzingis.

The Dallas Mavericks weren't on the list, though the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Clippers were included.

The Knicks called the Mavericks shortly after receiving the list that they were prepared to do the deal.

Porzingis said on Monday that “there might be a time when I go into more detail” about the depths of his discontent as a Knick and the reasons that led him to push for his departure. 

The Knicks were convinced no team beyond the Mavericks was willing to offer cap space, a young player with upside and future first round picks. The Knicks also were concerned that letting the offer from the Mavericks linger would have enabled Porzingis to scare them off.
