Wow, I had absolutely no idea that there was a possibility like this. I guess everyone was focused on Kyrie deal and I didn't even notice this possibility at all. I always thought Lebron and AD has a good relationship both on and off the court. AD might have been seen less than enthusiastic at that moment but I don't expect any issue between them. When healthy, AD always contributes as much as he can and I think everyone would agree that he is a great player and maybe one of the top players in the league. But I can't stress it enough: 'healthy'. We have an excited day ahead of us about the trades. Can't wait the see the surprises.
We’ll see. It seems like there is too much talk about something happening for nothing to happen, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Still, I’m on high alert for something big in the next 24 hours. The only troublesome part is that there are so many rumors, you don’t know what’s real and what is wishful thinking. No matter what happens though, I’m pretty sure Durant won’t be suiting up in a Nets uniform next season. I agree that it is nothing out of nothing, and there isn't anything real about all these drama. If it happens then we would say it happened and I would understand the point of it, but before anything happens, we could just chulk that up to AD being tired or something, or hurting because god knows he is always hurting. I agree that it is not a "good look", you should celebrate a lot if your teammate who brought you to that team and won a title with you passes Kareem, but if not.. well that's fine too. Important thing is, Lebron broke the record and that's it, whatever other trade rumours are going on, they are just rumours and they are fine.

Still digesting the Durant to Phoenix move. I wonder if Durant will buy a house in the valley…
One situation I can’t say I understand is that the Cavaliers are rumored to be considering buying out Kevin Love’s contract. He’s on the last year of his deal so I don’t know what they’d get from doing that and I’m sure Love isn’t going to take a massive loss on his contract to be a free agent a few months sooner. If he is bought out though, I imagine a contender will scoop him up. I think he’d be a good fit for the Warriors.

I'm know sure how all this will work out for the Brooklyn Nets, it looks like a tough situation to be in, but I'm really glad the let go of both KD and Kyrie together there's no point letting one go and keeping the other, and the Brooklyn Nets will be better off in a couple of years with this decision even if not immediately, because now they're having a younger squad with less ego. As for the Suns, I smell trouble in paradise, but I hope I am actually wrong on this because, it's a different thing to look scary and to actually be scary, I'm sure we had a similar opinion of Brooklyn Nets with James Harden, Kyrie and Durant on the same roster, and I'd say that look more scarier than this Phoenix Suns, but it might all ball down to the chemistry and relationship their able to build at end the of the day though, but I guess we can only just imagine until it begins to happen, right? It's will boils down to the ego of CP3 and Booker. This two seems to work during their first year, they made it to the finals but eventually lost to Bucks. But after that it was a roller coaster for them, but now that they have KD it could be a different ball club all together. We've seen Durant fits perfectly with the Warriors, so it could be the game with the Suns. So let's see how it goes, not sure when is Durant going back. As for the Nets, yeah, they have to let go of the Kyrie and Durant because the environment become toxic already.

Might be possible that Durant will fit to the Suns system, I think much better to say that he should as he really one of the prime player who can contribute a lot in both sides of the court. Chemistry wise, if all the three stars do have same goal to win a title, it will be easy to each of them to adjust and let the help be executed. We will see what's Durant impact to his new team once he returns and start playing.

Why not? weather is good in Phoenix. One situation I can’t say I understand is that the Cavaliers are rumored to be considering buying out Kevin Love’s contract. He’s on the last year of his deal so I don’t know what they’d get from doing that and I’m sure Love isn’t going to take a massive loss on his contract to be a free agent a few months sooner. If he is bought out though, I imagine a contender will scoop him up. I think he’d be a good fit for the Warriors.
And I thought by now that Kevin Love should be out of the Cavs. If I still remember, he says that he wants to play with Portland and Lillard like 2-3 years ago. Let's see what the Cavs or Love's plan, he is on a young team, and veteran like him should be playing to a good and experience team like you have mentioned, the Warriors in the West.

I’m reading reports now that the Warriors are or have (depending on the report) traded James Wiseman. I’m surprised by this. I thought he’d give them the athletic center they need, but I guess he didn’t fit into the system. I think if they gave him more minutes he could’ve been a much better player than he is viewed as and probably could have gotten them a better trade package, but it looks like they’ve given up on him. This opens a spot for Kevin Love…

Prior to this trading, I have read that they are contemplating on James Wiseman whether to trade him or not. But I guess the Warriors has made their decision to just let go of the kid. We don't know the reasons, maybe because of necessities or maybe they didn't find Wiseman a good fit for the Warriors at this point. Although there was a lot of hype on him when he joins the Warriors. Let's see if the Warriors are going to replace him with Kevin Love or get another big man to fill the void.

Another trade news is that Thomas Bryant was also dealt by the Lakers to the Nuggets Davon Reed and three 2nd-round picks. The rumor is that Bryant is not happy with his playing time, specially when AD is back on the floor again.
So it will be Jokic and Bryant protecting the rim for the Nuggets.
But I doubt that he will have a good time as well with the Nuggets, obviously, this is Jokic team. Or maybe him playing Center and then Jokic moving to PF, lets see.

I was just looking over this trade on the list and wondering why on earth the Lakers made it... Bryant had been playing well for them in Anthony Davis' absence and even if he was unhappy, he was under contract and playing a fairly large role. I'm sure he wants more playing time but who doesn't? With Anthony Davis so injury prone, I think this trade is going to hurt the Lakers unless they have something lined up that I don't know about. Who is going to be their backup center? Maybe LeBron is going to try and recruit Kevin Love to the Lakers if he gets bought out or maybe we'll see one of the recent big men they worked out get a chance?

Wow, some pretty big trades going down these past few days, especially seeing Kevin Durant being dealt to the Phoenix Suns last night. That team is going to be pretty damn good with him being their feature player now. I saw the Lakers made some decent moves too. I think that was pretty much a given that they were going to do something there.
Still waiting to see if the Chicago Bulls make any moves. At this point, they clearly don't have a chance at winning anything significant, so might as well start moving some pieces...as much as that sucks as a Bulls fan.

Byrant has blend very well with the Lakers even if AD is playing. So still a mystery for us, maybe it was true that Bryant is the one who makes this request to be traded for reasons only known to him. But as per @Ramona Shelburne Bryant had grown unhappy with his diminished PT since AD returned and asked LAL to look for a better situation. He’d also outplayed his contract & LA only has mid-level to re-sign him— so they opted to give his minutes to Wenyen Gabriel & replenish the picks they gave up for Rui. https://twitter.com/ramonashelburne/status/1623734944236474369

How about a potential Westbrook trade ? I still don't know what upgrade that will be for the Bulls though, but I'm sure that with Westbrook getting closer to his peak performance he should be a significant addition to Bulls teams. "Haynes: Clippers, Bulls may pursue Westbrook Former All-Star and Kia MVP Russell Westbrook was reportedly dealt from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Utah Jazz yesterday as part of a three-team blockbuster swap. Provided that deal goes through as currently structured, there are multiple reports Westbrook will be bought out by the Jazz. Per the NBA on TNT’s Chris Haynes, once that happens, both the Chicago Bulls and LA Clippers are interested in picking him up. — 7:06 a.m." Source: https://www.nba.com/news/2022-23-nba-trade-tracker

Getting some value while they can. It starts to make a lot more sense when you read that Patrick Beverly was just traded for Mo Bamba. This will be interesting to watch as I didn't consider Mo Bamba a serious player, but he can shine at times and will probably be a good addition off the bench. He'll be a unique pairing with LeBron for sure as he can also hit the 3. I think the Lakers are probably sick of dealing with Beverly and the Magic are sick of dealing with Mo Bamba after the recent brawl he basically started from the bench. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/lakers-news-mo-bamba-traded-to-la-for-patrick-beverley-draft-compensation/ar-AA17iMSG

Given how Durant didn’t much effective on Nets I think this deal is very solid for both team but I would say that Nets benefits the most in the long run due to the 4 first round pick which Nets can used to build a strong team in the future like Warriors did. Nets trio is not even show some good result though so I guess their golden days is not really as it is since the team is just pure hype.
Only time can tell if the 4 first-round pick is a win or not. Draft picks can still be a hit or miss if you ask me. Even top picks can turn out to be a bust these days. It is good that the Nets started to rebuild. They do not have much luck in acquiring superstars in their roster. Maybe they will have better luck using their first-round picks to build a championship team. For now, I think the suns won the trade. They are a contender team, and adding the fire power of Durant in their team will put them in a better position to contend for the championship this season. Hopefully, the coach can make the trio (booker, ayton, durant) work together to achieve their goal. They also have veteran guidance from Chris Paul. This team is scary right now.

Wow, some pretty big trades going down these past few days, especially seeing Kevin Durant being dealt to the Phoenix Suns last night. That team is going to be pretty damn good with him being their feature player now. I saw the Lakers made some decent moves too. I think that was pretty much a given that they were going to do something there.
Still waiting to see if the Chicago Bulls make any moves. At this point, they clearly don't have a chance at winning anything significant, so might as well start moving some pieces...as much as that sucks as a Bulls fan.
I wonder what Nets fans are feeling right now given that they lost two (2) of their superstar players on the team, both Kyrie and Durant. But I guess this is the inevitable given that their combination did not yield them any playoff run nor championship at the end. I guess the normal thing for them to do is to get traded and build their roster from scratch especially that they have first picks this 2028. The Phoenix Suns are actually looking pretty legit given that they have now Booker, Paul, and Durant on their team. I hope that their chemistry works out- though I predict that we will see Dallas vs Suns on the playoffs this season.

Poll Question: When Will LeBron Pass Kareem? Pacers - 0 (0%) Pelicans - 1 (5.3%) Thunder - 13 (68.4%) Bucks - 4 (21.1%) Warriors - 1 (5.3%) Blazers - 0 (0%)
Total Voters: 19
Thanks to all 19 voters. 13 people said LeBron will break the record in Thunder game. Most projections also showed that game. It's on point prediction, congrats. I hope you made some money from that bet.
Now we have hot days about latest trades. First Kyrie then KD, really interesting times for Nets. Looks like they gave up on this super duo and tries something different. I'm not sure if it's the right path for them but time will tell.

Everyone was expecting this to happen as the NBA sold a very expensive ticket ahead of time. I was wondering how much was the odds for that bet lol. Now we have hot days about latest trades. First Kyrie then KD, really interesting times for Nets. Looks like they gave up on this super duo and tries something different. I'm not sure if it's the right path for them but time will tell.
The NBA went a really crazy trades in the last 48 hrs. The Lakers could've obtained Kyrie if the Nets did not demand too much for the trade. However, the Lakers have somehow upgraded their roster. I'm not sure how this will turn out for them but they've got shooters and rebounder. The most recent one they acquired was Mo Mamba, he's traded for Pat Bev. On the other side, the Phoenix Suns immediately became the heave favorites to win the championship this year after acquiring KD. What a crazy big 4.

Too many transfers that just happened within a short period of time. What team is still needing some buff for their roster? I am no longer impressed with powerful trios.
We have seen that many of these teams didn't find glory with that type of roster. It's still depending on their teamwork and just as what everyone is saying, about their chemistry.
Exactly, it depends on the teamwork of a team, but people are expecting to win a team that has a good roster as teamwork can be built along the way. Just like Kyrie Irving, he had his first game and they were the underdog against the Clippers and yet they won the game. That simply tells that Irving is easy to play with, he makes his teammates better and feels confident on the court. Watch out when Luka returns, I'm sure they'll be a better team with good chemistry. It's not that going to come out easy. These stars got also their attitudes and that might affect their team play and that's why it's always a question why a team that's full of superstars don't get along even in the semi finals. We'll see not just on Mavs but also in other teams where the transfers and trades have already been confirmed and official.

Lakers made the right move though, sending a veteran to get a young Center looks like a good deal. Now this trade is understandable as they sent Thomas Bryant for almost nothing. After this trade deadline I should check latest rosters to weigh positives and negatives as this is one of the busiest deadline days last years.

That along with theor other moves were definitely a net positive. They finally got nba players who can shoot. Beasley is going to be the most underrated move, dude can ball and will get a lot of run with the Lakers. With what limited pieces they had I thought they dud well. The surprise for me was Denver moving bones for 2 seconds. Must have been a head case because the kid looks promising. Was a great bench piece moved for 2 seconds. Something was up there
