2026 NBA Season

[AHOYBRAUSE]

A big move for the Los Angeles Lakers. They are acquiring Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz. Kessler will sign a 4-year $130 million deal with the Lakers. They got their big man… They are forming quite a team in Los Angeles. Hard to not notice all their signings seem to be white guys…

Just saw the news as well and when I came here to talk about it I somehow had a feeling you already spread the news, and here we are, hahaha. Hard to beat you on this.

Anyway, what a great deal for the Lakers. Also money wise it's great for them paying like 33mil/year for a guy they have been chasing for years now is exactly what they wanted, and also needed. If they get even more lucky maybe they can ship Ayton somewhere. Only bad thing for them, now they have basically no picks left, all gone.

I guess this big man is more reliable than the current big man of the LA Lakers.

He may not be a scorer, but he is very solid on defense. He can defend the paint and has a good blocks-per-game average. He is still young, so they can still develop him more. Hopefully, he can stay healthy because based on his record, he only played 5 games last season with the Jazz, so probably he was injured.

Trying to earn my check.

I’m actually not a big fan of this deal. I don’t think Kessler is the kind of athletic big that Luka needs in the pick and roll. I think this is a downgrade from Ayton in that regard. I’m a fan of Luka, but I don’t really like what is being built around him. I think he struggles in the playoffs without a super athletic lob threat.

All eyes on LeBron today. He can make a move whenever he wants now. Speculation is that he’s waiting on an Anthony Davis to the Warriors trade.

Indeed, he's still young and if Lakers managed to maximize his talent he'll be a good piece of their campaign to win another title, though new squad means new chemistries to develpo and established, with what Luka and Reaves have right now, they need to initiate the kind of leadership that will bring the whole team in one diection, hopefully they'll be able to find the rhythm and also they'll be able to play as healthy as it can be to make that chase be possible and who knows to win a title.

It seems that they're liking with this roster and they've got younger ones which is a good thing. Let's see if this is going to take them far from the playoffs. I guess that Luka was one of the people who suggested the line up and who to take to their wing.

Hard to not notice all their signings seem to be white guys…

Most of them are white guys but there goes Collin Sexton as well.

The biggest question in the NBA right now is which team LeBron will sign with. While Miami and Golden State have been mentioned, Denver is now also being linked. If he goes to Denver, he and Jokic could form a fantastic duo.

I think he goes to Golden State. I’m just going to say it. I think LeBron James is a Warrior before the end of the holiday weekend. There are no other real options close to his home and he isn’t going to uproot his family at this point in his career. I can’t wait to see Steph and LeBron highlights.

The strongest rumor so far is that we'll see him at GSW. I'm sure we'll see a great season performance with the LeBron and Curry duo; we've only seen them together in the All-Star games so far, and even then they played quite well. Now, with two experienced leaders, GSW will have a fantastic season.
I want to hear news about LeBron's transfer in a few days; it's going to be an exciting season

Yes, and couple with the move of Draymond Green, I'm also guessing that he will be a Warrior very soon.

In the latest news, Jaylen Brown is traded to the Sixers, for Paul George, two first round picks, and two second round picks. That is a huge haul by the Sixers, and I think they've won in this trade.

I guess, when Brown's name pop up on the trade block, specially Boston wanting to acquire Giannis, was not a good sign for him. Thus he might have demanded a trade.

So, VJ, JB, JE, TM. That is a formidable starting line up for the Sixers.

The Denver Nuggets wants LeBron to end his career with them and that's a good one. I've also read that LeBron is willing to take a minimum salary for a contender team which the Nuggets is.

But I think LeBron will go to what he think is a strong team. With the news of Jaylen Brown being traded by the Celtics to the 76ers for Paul George and some future picks. If Embiid remains healthy for the remainder of the season, that might be a good team.

And LeBron might also consider that team as well of playing for them.

Shams Charania concerning Jaylen Brown have often reiterated that Jaylen Brown didn’t ask for a trade, even after the whole Giannis to Heat fiasco, but with the way things went down immediately after the Celtics’ elimination in the post season with Jaylen Brown hopping on livestream with several takes shows where his head is currently at and it’s been just a matter of time ever since then, more so, the Celtics wouldn’t have been more divided into a Tatum or Brown team going into a new season without a trade, I believe the Celtics eventually had to pick whose team it is, and now we know the answer, back to the trade itself, If it’s win now situation, then I believe 76ers just got way stronger than ever with JB, and for Celtics they might have to rely on defying the same odds they defied last season in order to be very competitive.

Is there a betting odds on where Lebron James will gonna play next season ? Seems like he is so unpredictable on this one. If he wants to play for a contender team then the Nuggets is one of them but i would like to see him play in San Antonio as the young guys there needs his veteran smart and he doesn't need to play heavy minutes to lift the Spurs to victory because even without him they could win.

Looks he'll be heading east this time, unless west team compete for him its more likely 80% he's going east favorites are cavs and heat where he win a ring, lakers did not pursue him , i think how rob pelinca chosing players are also the reason why he did not sign or chose la, or the la is ready for this decision.

The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George. This is an absolutely insane trade. Jaylen Brown is in his prime and a great player while Paul George is a buyout candidate. What a horrible trade for the Celtics and a gift for the 76ers.

Well the sixers are doing wrong trades before wasting drafts this time they get a gem, boston seems to favoring tatum instead of jalen, maybe they preferred him,
While pg is already on his way out only few years, i wpuld say they can try to run for a ring this coming season but there will be some in the way in the east likely lebron if he chose to return.

I agree, with Maxey,EMbiid and Edgecombe that's a explosive team teaming Brown with them and build a good relationship within the team, if they'll going to after for the title and not for their individual stats that trade will surely give them a chance to compete for the title, I'm not sure if why Boston decided to partways with Brown as far as I know Brown is the one who's carrying the team that's include their last title which Brown won the FMVP, now that they let him and replace him with PG who's almost past from his prime Boston might doing this to free some cap and will start another rebuild with Tatum as still their main star.

Brown can unload embiids load for scoring while this team is great they need to work on that most of their playoff run where always comes out short, with brown on the lineup they can now focus on other things because brown can score at any given time, while embiid can just focus on rebounding and defense

Lebron is guaranteed to leave, that much we know. Clevland would be very weird, I mean not shocking, because let's face it he always goes back there eventually, but still "weird" in the sense that last time he did not had to leave. Dude should definitely be looking for another team if he can, but if not and goes to Clevland then he is going to be going there just for one more last year, like one max year, (if it is 2 that could be weird too) just to retire there.

And that is cute if that's the case, he should not ruin them though, like he should figure out a way to get whatever he can, and try to make them better, if he joins and they get worse, then that's a bad addition just to retire there and would not make sense for the team.

Funny thing is that Jaylen Brown called Joel Embiid a flopper after the Celtics lost to the Sixers in the last playoff.

But how ironic it is, now they are going to be team mates. And it is said that Jaylen Brown didn't request for a trade even if his name was in the background for a Giannis trade. Celtics though still insist on trading him.

So not sure why they did that as George is no the player that he used to be.

This is truly an unbelievable trade, it's so hard to understand why they accepted it! Jaylen Brown played incredibly well last season, he was the most effective player on his team, and he single-handedly filled in for injured players. So why did they make such a trade? Trading just for a draft pick and Paul George is ridiculous!

Their salaries are very close, I really struggle to understand why they did this. Paul George might retire in two years, how effective can he really be then?
