Luke Kornet invited LeBron James to play alongside "a generational player" in San Antonio... and Wemby, too 😭💀
(via Luke Kornet/Medium, H/T @bleacherreport)
This is the greatest rookie class in NBA History:
- AJ Dybantsa already on Flagg/Wemby prospect levels
- Darryn Peterson is Kobe pt. 2
- Cam Boozer best pro-ready pick in years
- Caleb Wilson would’ve gone #1 in most drafts since 2003
- Keaton Wagler was the Clippers pick
- Darius Acuff is the greatest pg of all time and went pick 7
- Mikel Brown Jr. is a franchise change point guard
- Morez Johnson Jr. is bringing bully ball back
- Brayden Burries is Derrick White for free
- Yaxel Lendeborg best Warriors pick since Draymond
- Bennett Stirtz goes to the Thunder deep roster and can help immediately
- Labaron Philon goes in the 20s for no reason and is an all-star level guard
- Cam Carr is the best Lakers pick since Derek Fisher and the perfect Luka co-star
- Chris Cenac Jr. goes 27 but could’ve been pick 5 in other drafts
- Koa Peat at 30 but has insane potential
Charlamagne tha god tells Andrew Shulz if lebron James goes to the golden state warriors that will solidify that Steph curry owned the generation that him and bron were in
The Lakers may have pulled off one of the quickest franchise transitions in NBA history.
Most franchises spend years painfully rebuilding after a superstar era ends.
The Lakers went from LeBron and AD to Luka, Austin Reaves, and Walker Kessler in literally a year.
Luka Doncic reportedly “pushed hard” for the Lakers to add Walker Kessler, per @iztok_franko.
"Kessler was the franchise center Dončić wanted so badly, and from the people I’ve spoken to I can confirm he pushed hard for this move...”
Luka moving like LeGM. 👀
Adou Thiero spoke very highly on what he’s seen from Cameron Carr so far:
“He’s doing everything he needs to be doing. I’m glad we drafted him, I’m glad to have him on the team, we’re just gonna keep getting better.”
Victor Wembanyama has averaged 20 PPG & 10 RPG in each of his first three seasons in the league.
He is the first player since fellow Spurs' great Tim Duncan (1997-00) to average 20 & 10 in each of his first three seasons in the league.
According to Bleacher Report NBA writer Greg Swartz, Cleveland could pursue a three-team deal involving Kyrie Irving in an attempt of making their pitch to sign James the most favorable.
In the proposed trade, Cleveland would acquire Irving, Gafford and Naji Marshall from Dallas. Miami would receive James Harden, while Dallas would get Jarrett Allen and Schroder from Cleveland, as well as Davion Mitchell and Nikola Jovic from Miami.

Adou Thiero says that he wants to be the POA defender that JJ Redick has told him the Lakers currently need, per @LATimes
“JJ says that the things he wants, we need a POA, on-ball defender and everything. So, just trying to go out there and be that, try and get reps in defending and then, offensively, just trying to play basketball, just trying to make the game more simple for myself.”
Ja Morant on Portland: “It rains a lot. I got took fishing in the rain. … Lately, I’ve been kind of into nature. That’s a bonus for me. I’m not hiking! But I can go walking, ride a bike, I’ve been kayaking.”
