BREAKING: LeBron James will continue his NBA career for the 2026-27 season and has informed the Los Angeles Lakers that the franchise can move on without him because he will play elsewhere, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN.
The Wizards GM Will Dawkins pulled off a masterclass in asset management
He turned:
- Bradley Bealโs awful contract into Chris Paul
- Immediately flipped Chris Paul for Jordan Poole
- Waited a season to let Poole get his value up
- Traded him to the Pelicans for CJ McCollumโs expiring contract
- traded Kyle Kuzma at max value to the Bucks for Khris Middletonโs soon to be expiring contract
- used McCollums contract to buy low on Trae Young
- used Middletons contract to buy low on Anthony Davis
All while drafting Alex Sarr, Keyonte George, and Tre Johnson while making these moves
This is a masterclass in nba contract management and shows the value of expiring contracts. Incredible
