Power ranking Boston's biggest threats in the NBA's Eastern Conference
New York Knicks
Philadelphia 76ers
Milwaukee Bucks
Cleveland Cavaliers
Indiana Pacers
Orlando Magic
Miami Heat

I don't know about Milwaukee Bucks but I do agree that the Knicks and the 76ers are the top contenders against the Boston Celtics now. They are actually trying to make a roster that would best compete with them. Knicks for example, they had been adding guards and forwards instead of big men which means they are trying to equal a fast ball game against the champion. Plus, OG Anunoby was not healthy at the playoffs time so I guess we will see a better Knicks this year if it all goes smoothly for them in the injury division.

76ers adding Paul George is a big plus for them and then there's Tyrese Maxey who is getting better by gaining more experience. I think the key to winning here is Embiid in a healthy state too.

I like to see how PG will bring his leadership and how both Maxey and Embiid will adjust as if those three stars will click it will form a good trio that can compete to anyone in the league, having a healthy EMbiid and a competitive types of playing from PG and Maxey surely they will developed good spark for the team.

Though I know for sure that after winning the title, Boston will keep that mentality and if possible they will continue to dominate the east side, if the managements will keep them all or will keep the core players, still a very big chance to win another title.

I like PG but he likes to do that load management shit and is pretty injury prone. If Embiid, who is also always injured, and PG both get injured around the same time and are out for long stretches Philly fans are going to be calling for some trades and coaches to be fired.

All of this depends on how they use their players of course. If they can sit PG and Embiid for long periods in the games and not wear them out, they will be able to dominate the East. If used alot then expect injuries and disappointment.

PG is no longer prone to injury. Based on his record last season, he played 74 games, which I think is already acceptable. However, Embiid is really injury-prone as he only played 39 games last season. I guess load management is very important for players like Embiid because the team can't afford to lose him, even with PG already on board. No one hopes a player gets injured, but if a player is injury-prone, there's a risk that he will be injured again, and once again, the team will suffer.

Crazy game against South Sudan today. No idea why it was so close but at least USA got the win. I’ll have to watch the game later and see what happened here. Seems like they were intentionally trying to make it an exciting game for some reason looking at the box scores.

Don't kid yourself just because he played 74 games last year doesn't mean anything.  He has had knee issues every year and has tons of nba miles on them things.  He is 34 and knee amd back issues always get worse with age.  I'd be highly surprised if he lasts the year without ending up on the injury list and dnp box score.

He played 74 yes and 4 years in row before last year he played a max of 56 games in a season and that was only once. Guy is good but as wheelz said, he is old and his knees are trash. Would I love to see him prove me wrong and kill it? Hell yes, I love PG when healthy and would love to see him in the NBA Finals. He was on my Pacers forever and have loved him since then, dude can play.

PG has a strong character as a player, and I admire his love for basketball because of that. Honestly, I thought his career was over after suffering a serious injury in the past, but here he is, back and still playing like his old self. There's a reason why he got a huge contract with the 76ers: he still looks like he is in his prime. PG has a decent three-point shot and can create his shots by attacking the paint as well. I think he could really help the 76ers reach the NBA Finals.

However, I'm hoping that they will change their strategy and not rely too much on Embiid, as that's when they become predictable, as we have seen in the playoffs. This team has no problem with their defense, but their offense is sometimes inconsistent, so having PG should provide a big relief for them.

Bronny James is getting a lot of criticism. After all, he is not a top 10 pick, you have to evaluate him based on where he was selected in the draft. He won't get a lot of minutes in the regular season, but the important thing is what he can do with them. Every year traditional and social media picks someone like this to make fun of, before it was Thanasis, now it's Bronny. It's important for the player to be able to handle this psychological pressure. If he passes this test, he can survive in the NBA.

He is getting criticism because he is taking someone else's spot.  Does anyone really think it's a mystery why he ended up on his dad's team.  If Lakers didn't sign bronny then lebron would have never resigned.  Lakers had no choice.  I feel bad for the kid because he will never come close to anything resembling his dad's career.  Not his fault but will always happen

If the Lakers win a championship next season, we can say that drafting Bronny was a good move. He might not be a big force in terms of offense, but if he can inspire his dad to play better and it results in a ring, then the criticisms should stop. All LeBron wants is to play with his son, and given the special player he is, he deserves some biases just this once. Eventually, he'll be a Hall of Famer, and LA will recognize him if he retires with a Lakers jersey. Bronny is more like Thanasis to Giannis, but Bronny's relationship with LeBron is more special as he is the son of King James.

There's no way to control the crowd of emotions that are being done through social media. Coming from internet meme to an actual player, they become public figures but it's hard to understand these people throwing criticisms that aren't healthy whether to Bronny, Lebron and even Thanasis.

but Bronny's relationship with LeBron is more special as he is the son of King James.

And this is the reason why he's getting criticism that much because there's the expectation from the fans, actually not fans but only people waiting for him to fall. Anyway, I'd still wish him good luck, as it's hard to be drafted and get a contract in the NBA. Whether it's nepotism or pure talent.

He's getting a lot of criticism because of how his father's desire to play with his son. Interviews regarding Le-GM saying that he wants to play with his son, tweets on X telling his son can play better than some of the current NBA players. This one is the most absurd one because come draft night, he landed on the 55th pick.

It's not Bronny's fault that he is receiving criticisms. It's Le-GM's fault because of how he speaks about his son when there's an interview. Now the eyes are on him, and it's up to him on how he will handle the pressure both by the fans, and the media. I will just also add that Bronny has a guaranteed 4-year $8M contract. In the history of NBA, that doesn't happen especially for a player who's been drafted 55th. How did that happen? Of course, with the power of Le-GM.

Bronny must be in the G-league and hone his skills first before going to the NBA. Lakers fans hate Le-GM because of how he's acting like an authority. I hope that they will not put Bronny in the roster at least this season or else, he might face some boos coming from the Laker fans.

Yes, I'm tr]strongly of the opinion that the level of criticism he gets is more that of a professional player or at least first round and top 10 draft pick. He's not supposed to be drafted to begin with so I think they need to cut him some slack and by the way it's just the summer league.

I believe in player's growth in relation to due process and great work ethic, so maybe we should all just afford Bronny the chance to grow before we throw his entire career under the bus simply because he's performing exactly like the No. 55th 2nd round pick that he is.

What about Alex Sarr ? The Overall No. 2 pick against Blazers few days ago where recorded  0 points, 0/15 FG, 0/7 3PT, 0/2 FT....

If Lebron just wait for another year and didn't push what he like then maybe there would be less criticism on side of Bronny. But the way how the career his son going its like NBA would be a hell for him especially that he can't meet the expectation of the fans. I feel pity for the guy to receive bashing and any unwanted words came from fans. If they jut wait for maybe another season before they make this plan to happen maybe they might get different result since maybe by that time Bronny will be NBA ready.

Yes, Bronny should be on G-League first maybe to learn something from there. The insert him on the Lakers roster once they see some great improvement on his side.

It has been weeks and it seems like our main topic here is Bronny, what's up him? 

We can focus to the fresh news and I like to read some reactions about this one.

NBA free agency: Evan Mobley, Cavaliers reportedly agree to 5-year, $224 million maximum extension

Evan Mobley's stock has never been higher. Quite literally.

The 23-year-old big man agreed to a five-year, $224 million maximum rookie-scale extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal could be worth as much as $270 million if Mobley makes an All-NBA team or wins the Defensive Player of the Year award next season.

Do you think he is deserving for this big conract or not?

Bronny has to accomplish perhaps one of the most difficult tasks. You are the son of the best basketball player in the world and all eyes are on you, in which case it would be impossible not to feel psychological pressure.
If LeBron were a normal basketball player, maybe Bronny would play much more comfortably. There was no pressure on Curry, he was able to become a better player than his father. Such a thing is unlikely for Bronny. But if he can get enough time in the team, it will be enough for him. I don't expect him to be a star player, it would be enough for me if he allows us to watch a good game with his father

[stadus]

If LeBron were a normal basketball player, maybe Bronny would play much more comfortably.

Hmm.. not sure about that because I think if LeBron wasn't special, Bronny wouldn't have been drafted in the first place. So that argument isn't going to work. It's either LeBron is just a normal player and there's no Bronny in the NBA, or he is at the current state the reason why Bronny got lucky to play with his father.

His numbers maybe not much but his overall impact to the team is probably big, and he is still young and sure he will developed as a player.

Evan Mobley has averaged 14.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 17 games in the playoffs in his career.

Bronny's performance is really weak, and his shooting percentage in the summer league is as bad as it was in the NCAA. However, it's worth noting that there are many other players in the summer league who perform even worse than Bronny. In other words, things are not that hopeless.
I think the conclusions about Bronny's future career in the NBA should be made at the end of the next regular season.

Of course, let's give him a chance to prove that he is not a problem for the team. Although there's no pressure on him since the management already knows what he can offer, he still needs to prove the doubters wrong so he can make his father proud, or prouder. I'm sure LeBron is already proud of his son for making it to the NBA, but he could be prouder if Bronny starts making a name for himself. While it might seem like a small chance, it is not impossible.

The Cleveland Cavaliers renewed Evan Mobley's contract for 5 years for 224 million dollars. With bonuses, it will reach 269 million dollars.

The United States won the game against South Sudan with a last-second Lebron James basket. Lebron James saved the team from defeat.
