2024 NBA Season

About Bronny.

“He hasn’t taken one visit yet and has only had a few calls with coaches and universities,” LeBron wrote on Tuesday night. “When Bronny makes his choice, you’ll hear it from him.”

Take your time Bronny, you'll get there.

He has to accept the reality that he is not as great as his father, but maybe one day he will be in the NBA but I don't expect him to perform like a superstar. His father is sure very supportive to him, so this guy hopefully will not feel the pressure.

He's to young ang there's a lot of rooms to improve. If he can't replicate what he's father's achievement but at least he can reach to NBA and be a star this is huge achievement already. We see to many child of NBA stars didn't make a noise on NBA scene so if Bronny can at least climb up to his best level I think Lebron will still be so proud to his child. But to be honest its so early to speculate this things because for sure we can see some improvements to happen in future.

Let's be optimistic with that, he already has the connection since his father is still active and I'm sure that would help him if he will improve a bit. Maybe next year he will be drafted, who knows, but for now, he has to continue playing and try to achieve best improvement.

I think he knows that already and so he is trying to improved his game because his father is very different. And I agree, if it time for Bronny to pick up schools, for sure there will be media around him, and it will be televised in TV.

So regardless of what school he chooses, it's up to him and just like you said, his father is very supportive of his sons and he only want the best for them.

That's the most important thing, we already have Lebron James his father who is going to be a hall of Famer soon, so it's enough to have one in the family. Well, as long as he would just enjoy basketball and let things come around, I mean no pressure, then maybe one day we will see Bronny playing in the NBA and Lebron would be happy cheering for his son.

So the biggest NBA news today is Lebron James' 2-year contract extension worth a staggering $97.1 million. He now reclaimed the highest paid NBA player in the league and at the same time the highest total salary earnings in the history of the NBA which is half a billion dollars. The amazing achievement of an already 37-year-old baller. But we will see if his dream of becoming a champion once again becomes a reality. Many legendary veterans before like Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki sacrificed huge portions of their salaries in order for the team to create openings and be able to compete at the top. The Lakers though is a different team since it is one of the richest teams in the NBA so maybe they are willing to pay an additional luxury tax of more than 100% of its players' salaries just like the Warriors. 

[Vaculin]

There's no more excuse for them as they have the big 3 now.

Durant
Irving
Simmons.

This big 3 is strong enough to bring this team into the championship, the only problem is their chemistry and the two superstars passion to play as they have asked to be traded, hopefully that will not affect their performance in the season to come.

More like big 3 headaches for the organization to me

I'm expecting that they will play their best and bring the Nets to the finals. They cannot keep that drama forever, their future will be affected and I'm sure they understand that as although they are no anymore young, their value is still high. They just have to had an impressive season, teams will be making ways to make that trade possible.

They can literally do that if they will work together as a team and forget all the self-centered attitudes because that will be the reason why the team won't reach far enough or even playoffs, but don't keep your hopes high because Ben Simmons is still a mystery for the team as he's not yet proven that he is already back on track and there's KD drama too.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has agreed on a two-year, $97.1 million contract extension – including a player option for the 2024-2025 season, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told ESPN. James had been entering final year of deal worth $44.5M.

LeBron James' decision to re-sign with the Lakers was not without complications. Some sources have said that, James has been privately adamant that the Lakers still need to improve the current roster – and need to trade for Kyrie Irving.

[Kasabus]

KD won't do any good for the team because I expect that the deal will mean that the Nets will have Smart and Brown, I don't think that they will just go and grab one player from the Celtics in exchange for Durant, right? So in short, the Celtics will not be the same anymore and that means that they will start from scratch again and might find themselves hanging when Durant starts to make trade request next season if the team won't work-out.

They think that it's going to be a good trade if they accept it and fans can't do anything with that. But we all are in agreement that this isn't a good trade.

Whether they see it as a fair or not, it's still not going to do well and this could lose them more fans where also part of sales are coming for the franchise.

Nets won't just settle for a 1:1 ratio trade whether they'll be getting a superstar, most of the asking trade are likely more than 2 and note that they're contributors and star players.

It will be a good trade if Kevin Durant will stay in the Celtics until his contract expires but we all know that Durant will still leave the Celtics if things turns out ugly after this season and the Celtics will be left hanging and destroyed because they all bet for Durant just like what the Nets did but in the end, they were left.

The Celtics should just concentrate in their present roster because they are now much more stronger than the past season because of the experienced they acquired recently. I bet that Brown and Tatum will be more lethal this time.

But the way Lebron is saying that he will go to the team that drafts his son, I am sure, Bronny is already feeling the pressure. He is expected to be NBA caliber player because of Lebron. Lebron is a great player, and much is also expected from his son. He has a large shoe to fill in, hopefully, he can.

Let's be optimistic with that, he already has the connection since his father is still active and I'm sure that would help him if he will improve a bit. Maybe next year he will be drafted, who knows, but for now, he has to continue playing and try to achieve best improvement.

I think the target is in the 2024 draft, so he still has about two years to improve his game. Just in time for Lebron's player option in Lakers.

So the biggest NBA news today is Lebron James' 2-year contract extension worth a staggering $97.1 million.

That is how much trust the Lakers give to Lebron. Though I still question if it is worth it? It is Lebron and everything, but he is aging. He will not be able to perform as competitive as he was like 4 years ago. I guess we will see this season if the Lakers made a good move with that contract.

[freedomgo]

After seeing Durant and Tatum training together news sources started new rumours about Durant. He is said that he can join Boston Celtics in the summer. However they have Jaylen Brown and his performance in the previous season was really nice. I don't know if they would like to make a change there. The current roster played in the finale in the end. They may not want to change their best players.

That picture of Durant and Tatum training in a gym together surely fired many speculations that Durant may really play for the Celtics this upcoming season but there's no legit news regarding that trade as the demand of the Nets is surely not easy to meet, but the Nets could use Smart and Williams in-exchange for Durant as they won't have to worry anymore if Simmons won't play because Smart will be there for the team doing the defensive roles while Williams will be the center as the Nets lacks big man. What do you think guys?

Lakers do have that budget, they are capable and willing to exceed in order to regain their franchise name,

Not sure though if the move of giving LeBron such a huge amount even in his age is a great idea, but that's how business works.
You can keep the fans and convert to profitable business if you have one of the top star.

I don't want to argue with anyone so better to be safe by saying one of the top caliber star of all time.

Durant, Irving, Simmons.

Yes in papers they are big 3, but for sure you know that problem right? It's not just the chemistry but the whole attitude, Durant requested to be traded, he thinks he has in control, same with Kyrie, doesn't want to get vaccinated, the team suffers and come play-off time, this 2 disappears. The the drama queen Ben Simmons, can he still play next season? There are more questions right now in terms of the whole Nets organization, everything is not on the same page.

On paper, this team does not have any problems. But in reality, the players we call the big 3 are actually causing some problems. There is no doubt that Durant's request to be traded is the biggest problem with the team right now. A player requesting to play for another team but eventually staying is not a positive sign at all. There will be a lot of variables that might effect his gameplay after this.

It seems to me that Kyrie's problem is not that big of a deal since at least he doesn't have any problems playing for the team, doesn't he?

I bet the rest of the Brooklyn Nets roster is now having some doubts against KD as he might be not reliable enough just like the last season where he carried most of the load that made the team cross the playoffs. A player requesting a trade is really bad sign if that player still ends up playing the same team next season because the demand has not been meet by other teams and that's the situation of the Nets now.

Kyrie on the other hand doesn't have any problem at all and actually he said that he will stay and play for the Nets even if KD is not around with them anymore.

I don't think it's doubt, it's more of the team losing their trust on KD already. It's a big let down to hear from him wanting a trade or having their coach fired. And there could be more locker room drama specially if there will be close call or if they choke a game.

I'm not sure of Kyrie as well, if I'm not mistaken, I have read that the Nets are also tired of his antics. So they might as well trade him before training camp starts.

For wanting only to win to get a credits under his name that's what make them losing their trust to KD and his latest controversy what makes him a toxic to their team that's why I guess its better for their organization to let go of him and try their existing stars to make out next season or better rebuild since for sure they can get another star which can  possibly fit to them in exchange with KD and irving.

That is still debatable because it really looks like Irving and Durant will wear the same jersey this upcoming season as teams in NBA will likely start their training camp by the end of this month. But I guess Irving has more chance to be traded than Durant because I remember that the Nets is interested to get Howard and the Lakers is also working to have Irving, so Howard might be included in the package with Westbrook just to get Irving.

Yeah, that's correct, I like how LeBron was not forcing anything on his son. Let them pick their own, create their own career, all he should do is support them.
Sure, Bronny got a lot of room for improvement but it will be a stressful career for him since most of the time he will be compared to his father.
I hope it will not mess him up and I am sure LeBron has the right words to guide him about not taking all the basketball analysts seriously.
2 more years, that's a long time for him to improve and who knows if we might see him in a Laker jersey someday.

I still think that he was overpaid for his talents but underpaid for what he brings to the table. I mean he is a financial profit machine for any team that has him. Meaning, even if he doesn't play amazingly then I would guess that you could make that money back from the seats he helps getting sold, and secondly the jersey sales that he could help them. He doesn't have to play amazingly to be a player you could pay 50 million, because team would make more than that.

Same goes with Christiano Ronaldo for example, he doesn't need to play well, because he makes 2x more than what you pay him with just jersey sales that he gets which is the point of teams wanting these players.

[jossiel]

Yup.

That's just all about the competition and whatever reaction they show for each match that they have to each other, it's all because they're in a competition and they're just doing their jobs to make their team wins.

I wish to see more of this and those LBJ haters will appreciate that he's a person like this and if they will still hate him, I hope it's just in the court and not with him as a person.

Yes, it's more of the competitiveness amongst this guy, when they are inside the court, they will do everything to win a game and you can't see the friendship within, even hurting each other at times. But at the end of the end, those guys are friends are outside.

I'm not sure about the LBJ haters though, as we have said, "haters gonna hate", so as long as LBJ is making mistakes specially inside the court, you will hear this detractors talking about him and this and that, blah blah. But then again, as I have said, this guys are very competitive so once they hear it, they are going to be fueled by it and take it personally.

Even argues badly inside the court and fight for what's right in their opinion if there are fouls or wrong calls by the referees.

But that's all necessary and normal as that's how they've been paid when they've signed a contract. As to those haters, they'll always be there and they're just making the athlete they hate more popular and loved.

That's what I've seen that instead of adding more haters, they're just showing that the people love who they're hating.

LeBron has had a phenomenal career, and I'm really impressed that he can still show great results to qualify for such a huge contract. Honestly, I don't think there has been any other player over the age of 37 who could also qualify for that kind of paycheck. By the way, LeBron will be 40 years old after the end of the 24/25 season, and it's even sad to realize as it means this contract will probably be the last or penultimate one of his career.

I guess that's what we are expecting of him, and could retire as one of the Lakers great, he did bring one ring to them in the bubble. And this kind of player are just one of a kind, and if there is really a freak in NBA it could be Lebron's staying power, the way he molded himself, his body of course to be that competitive can still jump and dunk the ball like he was still a rookie. It will be interesting if he can really play with his son because that is his dream before he finally hang up his jersey in the next 2 years.

[Jating]

Jesus christ, 50 million a year give or take, which I am sure is still good money for Lebron even though he must worth like a billion already, maybe more. I am guessing that he will definitely pick up the player option, but it all depends on where his kid will go. I guess Bronny looks as solid as it gets for a candidate, both a legacy which is like the biggest we can think, but also a solid top 60 draft pick for sure even without the dad (well he wouldn't be this good without his dad lol). So all in all, I am guessing that if Lakers gets Bronny then Lebron stays, if not then Lebron may leave to wherever drafts Bronny for sure.

Looks like LeBron will most likely retire a Laker on that contract. The extension also makes him the new highest paid career earner in NBA history, passing Kevin Durant. In another two years I’m not sure if LeBron will still be able to be healthy and play at a high level, but he’ll probably have the option to sign another deal if he wants to. I’m sure LeBron is celebrating tonight…

That's a huge amount of money, that will increase his wealth being one of the richest NBA players in the world. Well, he deserved that because he is the king, may not be the best player in the NBA now but his leadership is very effective as long as he is healthy and can play.

Not just in the NBA but in the world of sports, he will be one of the richest, others might not agree with the huge contract he got, but I guess the Lakers wanted to keep Lebron and the management believed in him that perhaps another ring will be in the horizon for them. It's that last year was really a disaster as they expecting a good season but it turn out to be their worst. We haven't seen Lebron getting worst ankle injuries or like a torn ACL and I think it's more of his body really adapting to the grueling NBA games throughout his careers.

[Baofeng]

So regardless of what school he chooses, it's up to him and just like you said, his father is very supportive of his sons and he only want the best for them.

That's the most important thing, we already have Lebron James his father who is going to be a hall of Famer soon, so it's enough to have one in the family. Well, as long as he would just enjoy basketball and let things come around, I mean no pressure, then maybe one day we will see Bronny playing in the NBA and Lebron would be happy cheering for his son.

Yes, and Bronny is still young, so he might as well just enjoy the ride and the attention he is getting. But at the same time, should be following his father's advises for him. Still very raw talent but you can see the potential, after all he has Lebron's DNA and you can see that he has the hoops already.

So hopefully if everything settles down in the next 2 years and it went smooth, we might see the father and son tandem.
