2025 NBA Season

[blockman]

Did his son not listed to the upcoming draft this new season?

Technically, as per NBA draft eligibility terms, Bronny James is not yet eligible to enter the NBA draft this year.

- a player must be at least 19 years of age during the calendar year in which the draft is held
(Bronny will turn 19 on October 6 while the upcoming NBA draft is just less than a week to go, June 22.

- at least one year should have elapsed since the player's graduation from high school
(Bronny is currently in the class of 2023 and his final year)

To summarize, Bronny James' eligibility in the NBA Draft will take place in the next year's draft (2024) for the season 2024-25.

Thanks mate, so it's gonna be like 2 more seasons(1 ended and 1 starting) right before Bronny can be drafted. 1 is this for the upcoming season and the second one is the time by his listing for becoming eligible for the draft.
That's what Lebron's wish then and for sure that he'll be patient to wait that before retirement and I wouldn't be surprise if more hate and bash will be thrown again to him by waiting for that plan to be executed.

Players who reject a huge offer likely believe that they can still make a lot of money compared to the offer on the table. VanVleet was the leader of the Raptors last season, and his stats were very consistent. He can certainly contribute that to other teams as well. He desires a max offer, and with the Raptors having a new coach, there's no assurance that the current system will continue to work in his favor.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, he might want a max contract indeed. Security. Because they will never know if suddenly injuries could happen so it better be a contract where he will still get some money even if he is hurt. The player option could scare the Raptors' management a bit if suddenly another offer will stand out against them especially this next season where we have lesser prime point guards in the league.

There's no team that likes it when a player can't play for an extended period of time because of injuries. I recently heard the news that Lonzo might miss most of next season because of this surgery, and that's too bad because the Bulls' management will run out of patience sooner or later. Honestly, Lonzo reminds me of guys like Brandon Roy and Greg Oden, who had good potential but were forced to end their NBA careers too early.

I missed Brandon Roy and always wonder if he was able to continue his career. Lonzo hasn't proven anything to carry a team yet just like Oden. Nonetheless, Chicago Bulls might need to change something big. I hope they won't start to zero again because that's a big waste.

LaVine earlier wanted to exit but he is still under contract. If LaVine is happy to stay then the Bulls need to make big trades and build around him. I am not a big fan of LaVine because a part of me believes that the star is unlike the other NBA stars that are capable of uplifting their teams. Still, the Bulls need to let go of Vucevic or Lonzo, or even DeRozan too because the combo failed to work.

Oh yeah, Brandon Roy. That's also a knee injury if I remember it right? But what I cannot forget is that three-point shot buzzer beater that he had on the left side of the court. One of the most memorable shots of his career.

I think the Chicago Bulls don't want to get their hopes up. They are preparing for the worst so they need a new guard that would fit DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine or a backup since these two are also prone to injuries.
They had one of the best centers in the league which is Vucevic, the greatest failure must be there's so much offense on their roster but they lack defense. They hired Beverley but Vucevic cannot manage the paint on his own, he also needed someone who will rotate for him if ever he is pulled up in the three-point line. Screen and switch are the new kind of play now so it better be a good defender too.

[LogitechMouse]

That or a salary increase. Only those two reasons why a player would decline the player option. He is valuable now. There are lesser point guards in the league who are healthy and he is one of the best choices of any team who doesn't have a playmaker because he can score on his own, handle the ball with care, and he can make a play too. It's hard to find guys who could do both.

Players who reject a huge offer likely believe that they can still make a lot of money compared to the offer on the table. VanVleet was the leader of the Raptors last season, and his stats were very consistent. He can certainly contribute that to other teams as well. He desires a max offer, and with the Raptors having a new coach, there's no assurance that the current system will continue to work in his favor.

Or the fact that they fired their Head Coach might be another reason as well. Another is maybe he don't want to be in the Raptors anymore thus, he is trying to be a free agent, and with his elite ball handling skills alongside good three point shooting, I'm pretty sure that there will always be a team that will get him. The only question right now is, which team will acquire him, and will he get higher salary than what he can get in the Raptors which is $28M.

Max offer/contract for him? I don't think so though he might be eligible for around $100M - 4 year contract, or even higher if somebody will try, and give it to him.

To summarize, Bronny James' eligibility in the NBA Draft will take place in the next year's draft (2024) for the season 2024-25.

I guess this is also the reason why LBJ has a Player Option for the '24-'25 season, so that he can just opt out, on his contract, and follow his son because it has been his dream for a long time. On the other hand, he said in one interview that he is still ok if that thing will not happen. That him, and Bronny will not play in the same team.

Yeah that might be his final goal as he have achieved almost every thing in basketball. However, in a different interview LeBron also said that just because it is his dream to play alongside Bronny doesn't mean it's what Bronny wants  as well. He said he would still respect what Bronny wants with his career, whether or not he wants to play with his dad in this uniform in the NBA. That's perfectly fine, as long as he will be successful with his basketball career, LeBron added.

On the other hand, I guess coach Malone is still sour with LeBron and the Lakers. He keeps trolling the Lakers as if they were the team they beat in the Finals. I'd love to see LeBron's retaliation next season LOL!

Yeah, I don't understand why the Nuggets can't take Lakers from their mouth, even in their celebration they mentioned that the Nuggets are the daddy of the Lakers? WTF is that? I didn't see any animosity from the Lakers, they accepted defeat already. This might be the downfall of the Nuggets and coach Malone though, I mean this could bite them in their ass in the future. So just celebrate and enjoy but don't make fun of other teams because it's over now. You have achieved what you wanted. And again maybe in the next season they might not go back to back.

The Sacramento Kings have started trade negotiations with the Washington Wizards for Bradley Beal.
The Sacramento Kings had an unexpected performance this year.
It will be good for them to strengthen their team with Bradley Beal.

It's going to be very difficult for the Kings though, I mean they have a good and solid team this season and almost upset the Warriors in their playoff series. And who's on the trading block with? Fox? I doubt that the Wizards will just get a 2-3 B-players for the King in exchange of Beal. Maybe the sticking point might be their future draft, but we will see.

There's a lot names in the trading block or might request a trade at the start of the season. And again, this will make the team very competitive. For Lebron James, I'm not seeing him leaving the Lakers tough.

I mean the Wizards really should have blown everything up a long time ago, being a perennial edge of the playoffs team is the worst thing that can happen, that's the NBA no-man's land. They dumped Wall, now get rid of Beal for picks and some talent and start over. The Beal/Porzingis/Kuzma outfit ain't taking them nowhere. They could probably dump Kuzma on some contender for a couple picks and filler.

Yeah, but they will have to experiment at least a year for Kuzma/KP tandem. They did have a good run at almost the stretch of the regular season, but it was not enough. But I do agree that the Wizards should have blown up their lineup years ago when Beal had that injury and I will say that he wasn't the same when he come back. He was so inconsistent, and I would say that he tries very hard to give the Wizard a win, but most of the team it's very obvious that he is forcing everything so at the end they will just lost the game. As for Kuzma, let's see what is the plan of the Wizards management for him after they traded Beal. Probably will see the new player with Kuzma/KP and see if there will be a click or not.

We never know what the plan for these players will be, maybe they will stay for another year, or they will try to have a big
trade to start rebuilding the team.

We have seen how they try winning games but still inconsistent to move forward, if they will try for another year to solidify their
team, maybe they can try something and make them competitive, or another year will passed without any improvement.

Acquiring Bradley Beal might come at a high cost for the team. They already have good chemistry, and if they were to add Beal, I worry that the team dynamic might shift, and they may not play as cohesively, as Beal tends to operate more like a one-man show. However, if the team can help Beal adapt to their system, there is a chance for success.

Currently, I believe the Kings would benefit from acquiring a reliable big man who can improve their defense. While Domantas Sabonis is a valuable player, he alone may not be sufficient to protect the paint. Pairing him with a dependable center could have a positive impact on their overall gameplay without disrupting their existing strategies.

There is always a certain level of risk involved when making changes to a team, as there is no guarantee that those changes will work effectively. Allow me to provide an example: when Westbrook was traded to the LA Lakers, many people believed that the Lakers would easily secure their trip to the championship with their "big three" consisting of great scorers and defenders. However, the opposite occurred, and they faced struggles with team chemistry. I attribute the problem to chemistry because the Lakers actually performed better when they parted ways with Westbrook.

Or maybe they will use this to be more inspired to stay at the top,

As you mentioned, it can backfire to them as fans will continue to remember what they've said and if Lakers bounce back
next season it will be a bittersweet to chew on them.

Better to celebrate as you earned it from your hard work, but trolling someone or pointing it to a particular win is something
that in my opinion, is not appropriate. Though still giving them kudos for bringing the title to Denver.

There aren't many top-level big men available in free agency at the moment. They could potentially acquire talents that have been rejected by other teams, but there's no guarantee of success in doing so.

One option could be Zion Williamson if the Pelicans were to let him go. However, his injury proneness could present a problem.

Another option is Rudy Gobert, who is known for being a great defender and has previously won the Defensive Player of the Year award. The question is whether he can build great chemistry with his teammates.

[passwordnow]

I am wondering why Vanvleet rejected the $22.8M player option contract and behind that, it's making everyone think that there are already some talks with other teams for his contract. And that's for sure when he's needed by some other teams that's trying to scout him out.

Or simply he just want to get out of Toronto simply as that, and be on a new team that will renew and motivate him to win another ring. Just like what Lowry did when he get out of Toronto after a big win, and he almost did it with the Miami Heat. And probably Van Vleet might have another team in his mind already and willing to sacrifice a pay cut just to be with that team.

Possible as there have been players that have said the same reasons why they've moved from their current team to another one and have taken the offers that they've got.

Yeah, for sure Kyrie might opt to get out and move to Lakers, but if Lebron is also going out then I doubt that Kyrie will seriously to to LA though.

Maybe if the price is right whether there's no LBJ or there is, Kyrie is big enough to know what he likes. There's still a huge market for him and that's why there might be teams that are willing to take him on their wings.

It's hard to find guys who could do both.

It could really be an increase that he's asking and as long as it is what the market is demanding and his asking amount is affordable by some other teams then it's all sum up and what are the teams that are likely interested of taking him?

They already know what happened to some players who rejected huge offers such as that and ended up not getting the same offer again, I'm sure when he rejected that offer he have a good offer from the other team and it might be the best time to accept it because he might be needing of a good start since Toronto Raptors is not getting any hype after Kawhi Leonard has gone and they didn't get to the NBA finals again. the dude might want to join a championship team where he can effectively contribute to that team and make them one of the best championship contenders next season.

We will see if he's gonna be the next Dennis Schroeder or his market and position is demandable and that's why he knows what his worth is.

I would rather not get another big mean for the Kings, I think Sabonis is enough for them. It's not they don't have the experience yet in the playoffs. But now that they don't what the feeling is, might be a good and competitive playoff for them if they were able to make it next season.

But I do agree that getting Bradley Beal might be a bad idea for them and it could really disrupt the chemistry of the current roster. Let them play with one season and see how it goes.

[stadus]

We will see if he's gonna be the next Dennis Schroeder or his market and position is demandable and that's why he knows what his worth is.

That is unlikely to happen for him as he is a starter. We can at least refer to him as a star player of the team, whereas Dennis Schroeder, I believe, was only a role player when he rejected the offer from the LA Lakers. In the past, there have been players who rejected good offers and ended up struggling to secure a favorable contract.

A good example is Victor Oladipo.

Victor Oladipo Is The Biggest Loser Of Free Agency After Rejecting $112M From Pacers And $45.2M From Rockets Only To Sign A Veteran's Minimum Deal This Offseason

I think so too. This is a wrong move. I know Bradley Beal is an offensive guy but will the Sacramento Kings only rely offensively? What about defense? I am sure we have seen the Finals and that tells us those guys didn't play only offense. KCP was incredible at defending guys like Butler and Bam Adebayo whenever a switch happens. The same goes with Bruce Brown who had been phenomenal on the defensive end. I don't like this. They already have Fox, Monk, Mitchell, and Huerter. They are already strong offensively, what they need is more on the defensive side.

Yeah, someone who could back up Sabonis will be a big help. That big dude is prone to foul trouble. How many times have we seen him fouled out? Many many times. Someone who could switch for him will be a tremendous addition to the rising young team of the Sacramento Kings. Not someone who would only focus on offense. Beal is not a defensive type, he is like the James Harden of the Wizards.
I wish the trade won't be fruitful.

[OgNasty]

^ Dwight Howard said he would love to come off the bench for the Kings and help them win. I think on a good contract he’s probably a nice addition to the team. The Kings to me seem like they’re being well coached these days but their roster definitely leaves room for improvement. They’re just never able to lure free agents to Sacramento.

[xzone]

I honestly do not expect Lakers to lose Lebron, he will stay there without a doubt, he won't move until his son is in the league, which will be another season if I am not wrong, if that were to ever happen then I am guessing that the only way he leaves is to go where his son is drafted and have one last season there.

His son will be at college this year at USC so closer to his dad this season, and he will be staying at his home if I am not mistaken as well, which means that we are going to see him play as well as hoped for and probably drafted, so at least one more year of Lebron at Lakers without a doubt, why would he want to leave his son who will play at college level close to home, you need to consider these when rumors are flying, they picked his college based on where Lebron was playing.

I'm sure he'll manage to get into the NBA even though his stats aren't very good. He plays basketball very well for his peers and I think he plays at a level that can be in the NBA. I don't know if he may be as good as his father, but everyone expects us to watch him in the NBA.
It is said that LeBron has been waiting for his son for maybe 2 years, we will definitely watch them on the floor. He will improve himself a little more until the day they will play together

Perhaps they thought that they will have a good chemistry once Bradley Beal is back in the line up, with their new acquisition in Kyle Kuzma and Porzingis. But it didn't click or maybe the combination is not right, or perhaps they wanted to have a big change in the team that's why they are willing to let go of Beal and I think the feeling is mutual as well.

It's just where will be Beal's destination or what team are willing to trade their superstar as well to get him. Teams are now making a lot of movements behind and maybe hear some right after the start of the new season.

To summarize, Bronny James' eligibility in the NBA Draft will take place in the next year's draft (2024) for the season 2024-25.

I guess this is also the reason why LBJ has a Player Option for the '24-'25 season, so that he can just opt out, on his contract, and follow his son because it has been his dream for a long time. On the other hand, he said in one interview that he is still ok if that thing will not happen. That him, and Bronny will not play in the same team.

Yeah that might be his final goal as he have achieved almost every thing in basketball. However, in a different interview LeBron also said that just because it is his dream to play alongside Bronny doesn't mean it's what Bronny wants  as well. He said he would still respect what Bronny wants with his career, whether or not he wants to play with his dad in this uniform in the NBA. That's perfectly fine, as long as he will be successful with his basketball career, LeBron added.

On the other hand, I guess coach Malone is still sour with LeBron and the Lakers. He keeps trolling the Lakers as if they were the team they beat in the Finals. I'd love to see LeBron's retaliation next season LOL!

Bronny's choice will be perfectly understandable if he chose to play in his own team without his dad so that he can be on his own and be famous by his own play and not behind his dad's shadow. But, there is a good chance though that both of them will play in the same team as I don't think they will let the chance slide for making a historical dad-son duo before LBJ will retire but if it's the opposite then I guess we will see LeBron going back in Cleveland until he retires.

We can clearly see that they don't have the traits of a true champion and I cannot even blame them as this is their first time to be a champion but what they did was really unreasonable and the place they have now doesn't give them a right to make fun of any team that they defeat on the process. They should not forget that the world is not flat, therefore, if they are on the top right now, there will be a time that they will be at the bottom again.
