If this team can stay healthy, this team looks scary on paper. LeBron won’t need to carry any kind of scoring load completely, but neither will Embiid. The team looks scary, but health and chemistry remain to be seen.

If this report is true, The Raptors could be an excellent landing spot for the end of his career. If he can learn to make jumpers at a consistent clip, than he could be an excellent bench vet for a team that is reloading with Kawhi. It’ll be interesting to see where he lands.
The Kings will soon waive DeMar DeRozan, if they can’t find a trade.
Only $10 million of DeRozan’s expiring contract is guaranteed, and he would like to be on a contending team before retirement.
DeRozan appears open to signing a veteran’s minimum deal for a title-contender.
This is a fantastic pick up for The Knicks, and the best replacement for Robinson. He’s not quite as potent on the defensive end of the floor, but he can rebound and be an option on offense if the situation calls for it. Plus he can rebound pretty well! Solid job!
If the spurs had Billy Donovan during the finals, things might’ve been quite a bit more competitive for the spurs. I’m not saying they would’ve won, but that experience would’ve played a big role in helping them keep leads. This is a big pick up for them!
Breaking: Billy Donovan has agreed to become the lead assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs and head coach Mitch Johnson, sources tell @PeteThamel and @ShamsCharania.
This is a win now move for Philly. This also gets Brown out of the way for Tatum. A part of me thinks this is a mistake, but on the other hand, PG doesn’t need to carry too much of the scoring load, and could see success in Boston’s system. Still feels like the Sixers won though.
BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
Sources: LeBron is only willing to go somewhere that has at least two other players that can take the scoring load off of him
This eliminates a lot of teams from contention
This is tough to see… not entirely disaster for the Jazz, but he was a big piece in their current attempt at a rebuild. Many Jazz fans were excited to see him play along side Jackson Jr. in the front court. The Lakers did need a better center though.
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz for unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and first-round swaps in 2028 and 2030, sources tell ESPN. Kessler will sign a massive four-year, $130 million deal with the Lakers.
Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors has been agreed to, sources tell ESPN. The Clippers will receive unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033, 2030 and 2033 second-round picks and a 2027 first-round swap.
BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, sources tell ESPN.
Minnesota is taking a huge risk making this trade. If the gamble works, that’s a hell of a squad, but they gave up a TON of future for a player that doesn’t really stay healthy. The loss of Reid will hurt and if The Wolves can’t keep Lamelo healthy, this will look bleak.
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
