2026 NBA Season

[dwyane36]

If this happen to be anywhere near true, what happens to Bronny James then, he's gotta to a part of that package too I'd suppose or elsewhere, he might just need to find another profession aside basketball.

I really don't think Lebron is going to get traded, it could possibly be his last season or at most the penultimate one and I think he's staying around more just to also help Bronny find his footing, before he retires.

It would be strange for Bronny to be part of the deal if LeBron were traded.
If Bronny really wants to continue his career in the NBA, he should train hard for the next two seasons and significantly improve his skills. At least, he needs to prove to himself and the teams that he truly deserves a place in the NBA, not because his father promoted him there.

Not actually strange and somehow I expect this situation to happen.

LBJ is the only reason on why Lakers drafted Bronny on their team. The young James didn't much provide a quality performance that can help their team to win. So if it happens that LBJ will be out on Lakers then the career of his son will be ruined since provably that Lakers might wave Bronny to clear some space and get more reliable player.

So LBJ might provably do some magic to make Bronny stay on NBA and it will happen only if he get also traded together.

[Beparanf]

Only haters will say LBJ is not productive. His presence alone will boost his teammates morale since they will be confident that someone in their team is reliable.

He is still athletic and done a lot of solid play making even on his current age. I doubt he will useless on any team he will landed in the future.

He is still better than most of the NBA player on current generation.

I think they are blind if they say LBJ is not productive. Damn the man is performing like his body is not aging and still dominating on both ends on the floor.

I don't know why haters said that he's not productive anymore since aside the huge numbers he can provide on his team LBJ is still marketable that's why many fans still love to watch him. I doubt there's other player same with his age could do what he can provide.

Also I agree that he's still more far away better than those young dudes in the league. He cannot be called the king for nothing.

Either butt hurt fan of other team or casual basketball fan of Lakers that think it’s easy to win a championship.

People still think that Lebron can solo carry the team to championship which is not even still on his prime because he needs reliable teammates to achieve that.

But if we will evaluate James performance, he is still dominant player.

Rumors are that Al Horford is about to sign a 2 year deal with the Golden State Warriors. I think this would actually be a good fit. Horford can spread the floor and hold his own down low. Steph and him will be able to get each other some open looks. With Draymond shooting worse by the year, this should be helpful.

At 39, he might not be as dominant as before, but he can still help the Warriors in a big way. His outside shooting, which I’d say is even better than Draymond’s, is deadly. With his experience, signing him would be a huge steal for Golden State. And, it could finally give Horford a real shot at winning a championship with the Warriors.

So what would happen to the Celtics, I’m not sure what’s next for them, especially with Tatum likely missing the whole season because of that serious injury that takes a long time to recover from.

Jonathan Kuminga just turned down a 2 year 45 million dollars extension with Warriors, I guess they needed some other options even if it's going to be for a short period.

I really don't understand the full details of the Kuminga negotiations, but heard it was more centered around the Golden State Warriors not agreeing to no-trade clause, I'm very surprised that Kuminga is even asking for such tremendous thing.

The Warriors are becoming the Brooklyn Nets 2.0 back when they acquired Garnett, Pierce and Joe Johnson. Their key players are kind of old, but the only difference is that, the Warriors despite having old core players are better than the Nets back then. They can get Horford, but he'll be their backup big as they already have Post "Malone" and Jackson-Davis as their big guys.

As for Kuminga, he wants to be paid at least $35 Million which for me is absurd knowing that he isn't even an all-star player. I'm hoping that him betting on himself will not backfire on him. I remember when Schroder rejected the 4-year $80M deal from the Lakers and ended up having a much lower contract. As for the negotiations, the Suns and the Kings are reportedly interested on him, but they're lowballing the Warriors especially with the Suns where they're only giving Grayson Allen, a bench player and 4 second-round picks, and for the Kings, the Warriors wants either Keon Ellis or Keegan Murray on the package.

Whatever the case for Kuminga, the kiddo has potential so I hope that he finds his home outside of the Warriors because he will be benched there for sure.

So, they finally made a deal. It took them so long that I thought the Warriors wouldn’t make a move this summer. To be honest, I don’t expect much from Horford, but it’s better than nothing. Maybe I was hoping they’d get a legitimate center. They’re still sticking to small ball even now. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up getting fewer minutes than he did in Boston. If you look at his stats and Draymond’s, they’re almost the same except Draymond has more assists.

[el kaka22]

I don't think Lebron will move, not anymore at least. He already made so many moves in his career, so I get that people may consider him jumping ships, but I doubt he has really any interest in rebuilding all over at age 40. If he were to ever move, I am sure that they can make a deal happen with a team that may win, but not with the team Clippers have, they are not good enough to actually matter.

He may move to a team that can get him to win the title right away, if he can get himself and his son to a team that may win the title this season then he may actually leave again, but not to clippers who are not good at all. Lakers shouldn't accept this deal neither, Kawhi is always injured, whereas even on a bad day Lebron still sells tickets.

Best of luck on Jonathan Kuminga, it was reported that he declined the Warriors offer of  two-year, $45 million. It seems that he is really betting on himself as of right now. We all know that he wasn't given enough playing time by Kerr specially in the playoffs.

He was able to play only when Steph got injured, but they can't really go and move onto the next round. So let's see, there are teams that are willing to take Kuminga and make him a starter like the Kings.

I just think that the Golden State Warriors just dont want to sign him, they just want to give him an offer that they know he will not accept, if they really want kuminga to be in their roster, this issue with signing is already over, Kerr don't want to make Jonathan to grow, most of the other players before were given a playing time even with Steph injure or not, but kuminga were the other way around, they dont like kuminga thats for sure.

Something Kuminga's handler might notice, if GSW wants to settle this issue they can provide what's needed to close the deal, but instead they offer him something that they know Kuminga's side will refuse, let see if how good the camp of Jonathan to seek for a new team to offer him decently and give him enough playing time to showcase what he can offer for his new possible team.

We will never know if it's the GSW don't want to sign him and that's why he's offered with a contract that they know he won't sign. Or it was him being like Dennis Schroder after all. Maybe he knows his actual value or maybe he don't want to be there anymore because he's not given a good playing time that he wants. Maybe he thinks something else and should be treated like how the GSW treats their stars and even Dray. We don't know after all but if he have hard time in getting a new team, he'd likely take that contract.

That's good for Al if he's going to get signed in the Warriors. It's still another championship team and he can get his 2nd title with them.

Having that shooting range and that span of arms could do better defense as well. While Draymond on the other side wrestling with opponents that he's defending.

The bad news for ex-NBA players continues. Today Gilbert Arenas was arrested for apparently running an illegal gambling business with members of an Israeli crime outfit of some sort. This is not going to be good for Gilbert I think. Such a shame to see how his career spiraled after the gun incident.

That sucks, one of the highest paid player before got into these trouble, he's bankrupt?

Mikal Bridges agreed to a four-year $150 million extension. He could've gotten a bigger deal but he made a sacrifice. Brunson did the same thing last year and gave up serious money too. This way, the Knicks have managed to keep their core pieces together in their roster. It's important to keep a team that made it to the Finals after so many years. In recent years, we've seen different teams in the Finals every season, but even so with this roster the Knicks will once again be one of the contenders in the East.

It could be that they just offer him a decent money, nothing more. Just like in the case of Klay Thompson, the offer wasn't good and so he decided to go out of the Warriors even though he is one of their corner stone in this dynasty run. As for Kuminga, he is still very young and I will say that he hasn't proved anything yet for the Warriors to really give him a good contract. I think this is Warriors culture though, it seems that they don't want to spend a lot of money on their players except maybe Curry and Draymond. However, one thing that we can say is that there might be teams that are willing to get Kuminga for a big money, that's why he is not afraid to bargain to the management that he deserves more. But let's see, as we close in the trade deadline, maybe Kuminga will not be a Warrior this upcoming season.

In recent years, we've seen different teams in the Finals every season, but even so with this roster the Knicks will once again be one of the contenders in the East.

It is reported that his contract could be amounting to $156 million. So the Knicks was able to get a $6 million discount on Mikal Bridges. So it's good on the part of Bridges and make that big sacrifice. We have seen what they can do last season. They were able to get to the ECF finals against the Pacers, but Indiana was a better team. However, with this kind of experience under their shoulder, they could still duplicate what they have done specially with the addition of Jordan Clarkson. And now that the Eastern conference is very much open competition as Tatum and Haliburton is out due to injury, the Bucks trading Dame and Lopez no longer with them. And the Knicks core are back with few addition, most likely they will be on the top 3 teams in the East next season.

There were rumors before that Al Horford might not sign with the Warriors because of his beef with Jimmy Butler. That's why the news with him signing with the Warriors started to dry down. And now this news resurfaced again? But we will have to see, and if the Warriors added him then again, another old aging player on their roster. But Al was still a instrumental part of the Boston Celtics winning their championship a couple of seasons ago. So I guess he will still be a good addition to the Warriors as they don't have Looney anymore and their supposedly center are quiet young in QPost. As for Bridges, Knicks got him at a discount, and hopefully they can still get some key players to add into the rotation. Although we all know that in this era, it's hard to keep your core players.

Actually it is not that big compare to the cuts the other made, this is a good sign for the team though, this shows taht Mikal is giving the Knicks the value as a team and wants to be a contender again next season.
Just a few changes for the NYK and they are really strong, Play-offs is a easy land spot the the Knicks this coming season. I hope Clarkson is a good addition to them, he is good as one but looing forward for making everyone bettter around him.

I agree that Lebron wants AT LEAST one more ring, to equal with Kobe, and if it was ever possible then maybe two more rings to equal Jordan. Those are the only stats he stayed behind, the ring numbers, sure Robert Horry has more than all of them, so not like rings are the only things that matter but it's still very important when you compare the big names. When you move Lebron to Warriors, there is a deal to be made, how?

Well if Warriors give up Jimmy Butler, and Lakers give Lebron and Bronny then the trade passes. That means if Lebron goes to Warriors, they would have Steph, Buddy Hield, Draymond, and Lebron on top of that, which isn't some awesome trade I agree with the fact that squad is still weak, but it would be awesome to watch that part is for sure. I mean they can do the reverse, which is horrible, but they can give Steph to Lakers, and then Lakers could give Austin and Doncic, but that makes no sense for Lakers.

The guy has nothing to prove, he already achieved things that no one can, i just don't know why some people hate him, and think ahead of the guy, win 1 more ring or not, he is basically one of the greatest, moving to the warriors is not a good idea for him, he will be better to other teams or it might be better to return home?, Steve coaching now is questionable, and I'm thinking if the only thing carry warriors is the players.

I disagree, they wanted to sign him, but Kuminga doesn't want they offer to him. He didn't get that much time because he was not that healthy I believed last season. It was like on and off to him. And so when playoff comes, Steve Kerr has made some adjustment as his first five is based on what opponents they have.

But I think Kuminga's mind is already set that he wants out of the Warriors and he is looking for at least $30 million a year contract. It is rumored that the Kings is really interested of him and was promised a starting five position. But not sure if that can be done as they have Lavine and DeRozan who fits the same role as Kuminga.

The number of rings isn't always indicative of a player being better than others. At the very least, because winning a championship depends not only on the skills of an individual player but also on luck. In fact, throughout the history of the NBA, there have been many excellent players who have achieved outstanding individual results but have not been lucky enough to win even one ring.

But let's see, as we close in the trade deadline, maybe Kuminga will not be a Warrior this upcoming season.

I agree, he hasn't proved anything yet but he's a good support player to the team. He might have some contributions already but he has to accept the fact that he's not as big and explosive as the others that have left. He's even luckier than Jordan Poole because he's been traded to the Wizards while him, he's got some offers. Or if he takes this offer, the GSW might just play with his career then and will trade him to a weaker team for a better prospect.
