ESPN writer does have Twolves as a possible LeBron destination. I’ll believe it when I see it, but it would give this team a lot of attention in the media eye next year.
I just can’t see how I could cheer for LeFraud but I guess i could give
It a go.
The ESPN writer is basically an idiot unless he believes LeBron will go to a team like Minnesota for under $6 million per season.
The probability distribution of where LeBron will go is Golden St. 95% on the full MLE with player option and they might just flaunt the over 38 rule giving him a full 4 year contract knowing he will only play 1-2. Then GSW will trade Jimmy B to the Bullets for Anthony Davis.
LeBron-Stef-AD-Kristap. I almost would be interested in cheering for the old guys.
Still don’t understand why Wizards would do that trade.
But I can’t stand any of those players.
BEcause Jimmy is an expiring contract and AD has a $63 million player option in 2027-28.

Kawhi Leonard is headed back to Canada.
The Los Angeles Clippers opted against handing the 35-year-old star an extension and instead decided to deal him to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
The move comes as Leonard is owed $50 million in the final year of his current deal.
In return, the Clippers will receive both Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick. They will also get two future first-round draft picks, a pair of second-round draft picks and a pick swap.

They probably would waive him or just send him home and direct deposit his base salary.

Well, one of those PFs off the board. Precious Achiuwa signs a 2yr/$11.5M deal to remain in Sacto. That's right about exactly the money I was hearing. Now go get Yabusele.

But why trade for him on the 1st place if you don’t like his contract?

I know I'll get flak for this - but here goes. I don't see Lebron leading us to the promised land. Too many other juggernauts out there right now for that old dude to overcome. Father Time is going to win out at some point - and I think it's going to be Willie Mays-like. AND... for anyone wanting Jaden McDaniels to blossom this year as an offensive player - it sure as hell ain't happening on a roster with Ant, Lamelo and Lebron James. So.. no, I don't think a title. But yes... I see a year of dogpaddling for Jaden.

The funniest part of this day is the absolute flood of signings that take place almost immediately when negotiations aren’t even supposed to have taken place yet.

You’re speaking about LeBron like we’re going to depend on him to carry us, we won’t. Let ball and ant do all the heavy lifting, lebron is still capable of giving a team good minutes

Yeah, this. Lebron is a really good complimentary piece at this stage of his career. Id say he has a better chance here to win a title than join a geriatric Olden State Warriors team

Injury insurance. Not like Ball or Ayo have been iron men.
Great deal though. Good start
