2027 NBA Season

[livingfree]

With Karl-Anthony Towns and draft selections included, the Knicks in particular may present a strong deal.

They have to seriously trade like 3-4 of their strong assets from the team if they want to take Giannis.

Many teams would like to take him on wing but it's true that he has got no intention of entering in the trade market.

Although, this is still a business and we will see it through if some news might come up.

I strongly disagree that he isn’t intending to hit the trade market. Him stating otherwise is nothing more than him protecting his legacy and making the team out to be the bad guys while also giving them the best negotiating position available. If Giannis comes out and demands a trade the fans will hate him and teams won’t offer as much.

Yeah, that's also possible.

Because we've heard it from him before so, it could still be the same thoughts but he just don't want it to come from him.

You're right about that. Very likely that it could be just a silent thought from him and waiting for some disagreement from the team and then, he wants out due to that potential issue/disagreement.

Latest NBA rumor I’m seeing is that the Houston Rockets are willing to do whatever they have to in order to pair Kevin Durant with Giannis. I don’t think they have the cards to get him, but you never know. The Bucks can’t let Giannis walk in free agency in my opinion. They’re going to have to trade him.

If this happens, they'll making a transition from developing young and talented players to now a win-now team, and why not? I mean they just got the 2nd spot last season with a young roster so they can I guess.

As for the cards, they have TBH, and they still have lots of draft picks to give to the Bucks if they really want to pursue Giannis. They can put Sengun, maybe add Jabari Smith Jr. too as well, Reed Sheppard, and some draft picks for him. Giannis is still in contract for 3 years, so him being a free agent is out of the question. The Bucks will just trade him if he says that he wants to be with another team. Right now, we aren't hearing any news regarding Giannis being traded whatsoever, so this rumor will just be a rumor until there's no legit news.

If a team will offer really good for the Bucks and will take Giannis,  I think MB will do the trade. Giannis a big demand on the team and if someone can replace as good as him. team will  go.
hey will have a better salary cap taking out the Ante brothers.

Giannis is a big factor to the team and a real SUPERstar in the league. just the best offer for this guy!

I just hope Giannis is fine with taking a smaller offer as long as he can bring his brother along. He’s always been on a max contract, but with his talent and skills, I think he’s after legacy now. Maybe he’ll join a team that really has a shot at a championship, because if he takes less money just to end up on a weak team, then it defeats the whole purpose of leaving for a championship chase.

Sure thing, if the Bucks see they can’t keep Giannis any longer, they’ll trade him. Thr Bucks management won’t just let him walk for nothing, they’ll make sure to get something in return before he hits free agency. He’s one of the best players right now, and that’s exactly the problem. Will the Bucks settle for a player below his level plus a couple of others to balance it out?

Any team that lands him will have to pay a huge price for sure. As for the Rockets, well, we saw how they went all in just to get Durant, but can they do it again for Giannis? And if so, how? Trade KD for him? That’s impossible, considering how much they gave up to acquire him. One thing’s for sure: it won’t be an easy negotiation, and whichever team gets Giannis will be in a win-win situation.

I think this rumor will not happen for now since recently Giannis sign for Bucks again and he has player option on 2027-2028 season. I don't know if Rockets could able to wait for that time since for sure there are lots of changes and maybe their priority will be change since for sure there are lots of rising stars would come up and provably will catch their attention.

Bucks cannot let go of Giannis since they know their team will be at huge mess if they let him go away on their team.

Also Bucks GM has clear stance that they won trade Giannis https://ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2025/08/24/giannis-trade-bucks-gm-no-interest/85808967007/ so with these news they already killed those rumors spreading around.

But they can't do anything if Giannis insisted for a trade? We have seen star player doing that and as much as the team wanted to keep them, they can't do anything about it. Unless the Bucks surround Giannis with a good unit, just like when they have their championship run, they have a core of solid players, defenders, scorers, 2nd unit and role players.

So let's see, sometimes when there is this kind of news, it's hard to ignore it. When there is smoke then for sure there will be fire. But let's see, Giannis social medias seems that he is still in some vacation mode earlier and then in the EURO Basketball.

Nowadays, even how good you are performing your task but if your team is not producing wins it's easy for the management to replace you, same with what you said, coach Kerr may also be replace by a new coach if they will continue their struggles, though with Curry still playing with them and that trust they established from one another the Dub nation may continue seeing them working along side each other, we will see if what they've got this upcoming season, if there's improvement with their performances.

Warriors already showed that they are not afraid to replace someone if they are doing badly, they do not stay loyal to anyone. Klay Thompson won so much with them, and yet they still sent him away like he was garbage because he wasn't contributing anymore. And that is why we are going to see Kerr leaving too if they end up doing badly, that is the way that we are going to end up feeling.

It's true that Curry is the only untouchable one, even Draymond could leave, but Curry will stay as long as he wants. It's not even just about loyalty, it's about finances, even if he plays badly, Warriors can't send him away because fans would be super mad and that would mean less income for the team so they have to keep him.

I know a lot of us are still criticizing Bronny saying he only made it to the NBA because of his father. but with the latest developments, what do you guys think now?

His G League numbers have been getting better, you can see some growth in his game. Do you think this is enough for him to earn good minutes in the coming season, or will he still just ride the bench most of the time?

https://nypost.com/2025/07/31/sports/bronny-james-opens-up-on-health-struggles-since-cardiac-arrest/

James was back and forth from the Lakers to the South Bay Lakers in the G League, where he averaged 21.9 points, 44.3 percent shooting and 38.0 percent from beyond the arc.

They already have Sengun that is much younger and has potential to dominate the league once he became on prime. Acquiring Giannis might cost them a lot of their young core members that already developed.

They will just waste what they developed if they will pursue the trade just to maximize KD that is not already on his prime. They already have perfect roster with KD.

All they need to do is synchronize their play with KD.

It is true that  Bronny gves good numbers on stats when he played on G league. but, he cant do that in NBA.
And yes with the number pick he made in rookie draft, it was LBJ whos the main reason why he is playing in NBA and signed with the Lakers.
Just like Giiannis to his brother and LBJ to his son.

With all honesty, Bronny is improving his career with recent development on G-League. Surely he can’t easily carry this stats on NBA due to the difference on player level of both league but it’s still a good achievement for that his performing good despite lots if criticism on his career.

He has LBJ genes which means he has the potential to play great in NBA. It’s good decision for him to prove that he got what it takes to be on NBA through proper promotion from G-league to NBA.

With lots of attention people giving to him negative and positive, lots of things can contribute to the development of bronny but he needs to understand that he is LeBron son and lots of people will scrutinized he's style of playing and even compare he's style with his father, also lots of people will criticize him, even if he play good or bad, he needs to be comfortable with that for him to move forward, like what he's father did, ignoring negative.

This is the hurdle for someone with high expectations or being criticized from his father’s bashers.

It’s very hard to get over those criticisms if every mistake that he makes will be noticed and a big deal. It’s a lot of mental stress waiting for him along the way but I’m sure he will overcome this because he has a support from one of the best player in NBA which is his dad.

Lebron decision to include his son on LA roster while he is still underdeveloped backfires a lot on Bronny career.

He should have let bronny be undrafted if no one picks him, with that there is no pressure on the guys shoulder, although i think the medical condition that had happen to him before still on his head, and alter the course of his career, since he might be thinking of what happen that may be a factor why he is not that explosive as when playing in high school, i hope he becomes a good player and step away from fathers shadow that would be the greatest achievement he can make.

Why are they doing this? Like why would they do it? What's the point of it. Durant is so old, and getting him was a mistake to begin with. But let's assume for a moment that they achieved, and got Giannis, how could they win a title with a very old Durant, and Giannis alone? They would have basically nobody else left, all other good players would be gone, they would need it all to offer to them, otherwise it is not going to work.

In the end, this is a bad move, they already had one bad move, getting another isn't good. They were second last season, and they sent one young star that made them second, and got a very old star that can barely do what the same dude can do. I guarantee you they already got worse, no need to get even worse.

^ I’d say they would do it to try and win a championship with a couple of the best basketball players in the world.

Skinny Luka put up 39/8/8 today on 8/20 shooting and 19/20 from the free throw line. Looks like he might be in good shape and moving well from those free throw attempts.

but will the lakers willing to add players to complement luka, because if only luka will score and no one will step up, then its still not enough but hoping they will make it to the finals, if they have enough supporting cast to support the starts, since okc, nuggets, rockets gsw, it still a loaded west and an easy east, who will match the east in the finals, will one of the team in the west like celtics, came up on top?

Why Bron is a must for the Lakers specially for Luka!
LBJ will be the one whos veteran assigned for Luka. Doncic is a great player and a future face of LAKERS or maybe now.
But he needs more from the OG.

1. how to take care of your body and at fit always.
2. IQ in the game, he is brilliant but he needs more.
3. Team Leader
4. Voice in t he court

and many more!

With Sengun, and maybe add in like Thompson twin, and Jabari, then they could do it. I mean if they really want to, then the package has to include Sengun. I just checked Espn trad machine and those three for Giannis does work and gets accepted, and would be great for Bucks, they would be definitely amazing there.

But in that case, Rockets would be ; Durant + Giannis and then third best player is freed van vleet, and fourth best is tari season. Are you ok with a team that is just two superstars and one role player? Rest just rookies and sophomores and all around bad players. I think that would be a bad deal too. Rockets would be getting a bad return on this, and Sengun is a star player, they need to keep him.
