2026 NBA Season

[Oasisman]

Sixers will have so much fire power and the league will be surprise Jb can score and rest of the sixers can and if lebron signs they will have a court general a scoring machine on jb and offense defense embiid maxey and edgecombe in paper it will be scary but lets see if they can capitalized that -minus lebron they are already a great team.

Wait, is there really a rumor that LeBron will be traded to the Sixers? If that happens, who would they let go for LeBron?

It looks like there are a lot of rumors now about where LeBron will land, but the Sixers already have talent. Sadly, they also have a big man who is prone to injury. Honestly, I would rather choose Davis over Embiid because Davis is more versatile than Embiid and I think he is a better team player.

None. The Sixers doesn't need to give up someone for LeBron, because he is an unrestricted free agent, and they can sign him for their remaining salary cap, and that's pretty much possible considering that LeBron doesn't care about the contract at this point of his career. He is prioritising championships and playing for the love of basketball now.

Yeah, several teams have showed interest in him, even at the age of 42. He might have lost his athleticsm, but his presence in the court could be enough to elevate his teammates' game.

Paul George "was" a better player than Brown has ever been, if we are comparing their peak times then PG13 had an era where he tried to be the best in the league, he was never best, but he was gunning for it, we never saw Brown ever be in top five, let alone be near the best, even on this season where he did not play with another star player, he was the only one, and he did great, he still wasn't top five, PG13 had multiple top 5 seasons.

But right now? PG13 is old, and he is only getting older, I do not think he has that lockdown ability he used to have, and his offense is all he has left, and even that is not that great, I am not sure if Celtics can utilize him in a way that would work great for them at the moment.

Well it depends on how you see it, but we can't disproved that Brown brought a ring to the Celtics, won a MVP in which PG didn't. So for me even at the peak of PG, he can't do that with the Pacers.

But one thing we can all agree is that PG13 is already old, no longer in his prime and most likely a wash up player. So it's up to the Celtics on what they are thinking when they traded Brown for him. PG has been paired with many good players, but still can't even go to the finals. Unlike the Tatum and Brown combo, at one time, the best duo in the league.

Unlike the Tatum and Brown combo, at one time, the best duo in the league.

Speaking of PG when he's on the Pacers, I think we can make an argument that that's also the time where Lebron, Wade and Bosh are on the same team, and they're creating a dynasty during that time, and they're always the favorites to win a title during that time. The peak of PG was also at the same time when Lebron was at it's highest level as well so... that for me is the main reason why PG didn't won a title when he's on Indiana.

Anyway, I agree with what you said that PG is old, and PG back during the peak of his career has the same performance as Brown currently since he's at his prime years. He could be a wash-up player for some, but I'm at a point where I still believe that he still have some gas on the tank. I mean he can still contribute to the team in one way or another. He might not be the same as Brown in terms of explosiveness or stats, but he can still do anything that we can't see on the stat sheet.

Nevertheless, I think let's just wait to see on how both teams will perform during the regular season. We also said that the KAT-Randle trade back then was a win on both teams, but throughout the years, we saw who really is the winner on that trade.

Pg prime no question he is better than brown but right now its the other way around and yes because of his age that brown is better,
So this trade sixers wins because of the draft also that the celtics has got for the trade, with this addition tonthe sixers they are playoff ready in the books.

Prime PG is different, in his Indiana days, if he wanted to shot form the logo way before Steph is doing it. And then he has a bunch of good players. But I guess he was in the wrong conference as they had to contend with Lebron and Dwade and Bosh.

And we all witnessed his injuries, but recovered but looks like the same anymore. And yeah, we can all agree to disagree right now, and only time can tell if the trade is a win-win or it's a bust for one side. Jaylen Brown has reach out to Maxey in his live stream and it looks like this two are excited to team up. But Jaylen should know his place in the Sixers as a healthy Embiid should still the Sixers franchise player.

We know how jalen pair with stars he is not a vocal.one that will criticized teammates so there should be no problem with him taking a step since embiid is still the main main in sixers but im excited how this players team up eqch other for 82 games, until playoffs, could be that jaylen is the missing player for a title run?

[Webetcoins]

I don't want to belittle the Celtics but IMO, they're still a good team though despite that Brown has left and traded.

But there is no doubt that the Sixers have got a boost with their roster.

I am not entirely sure if we are going to see Brown be able to do that great because the team he went to is Sixers, and Sixers is not some great team. Embiid is almost always injured, and if he plays that MVP level again, and Brown plays like this year, and all others do contribute then yeah we are going to see Sixers do great.

On a team that sees everyone at their 100% all the time, sure they are great, but that rarely happens now does it?

I do not think that we are going to see that being something so easy to see, there will be some injury problems because that's what happens with Sixers all the time.

He finally gets out on Tatum shadow which is the main key why he manage to carry Boston to a championship. Sixers main guy is a center which compliments him while he can play well too with Maxey.

So even if Embiid is out of the picture I believe he can still play well since Sixers rely on him more as their main guy compared to Boston that focus on Tatum.

This will be a good year for 76ers.

I do agree, I don't think that the 76ers are going to be somewhat pressure here. Jaylen Brown is still in his prime and can be the best option for the 76ers after Joel Embiid. Even if Joel is sideline, with Brown at the helm, he could lead them to a better position.

It's more on the Boston to proved or Tatum to show that even without his partner now, he can bring the Boston Celtics to the finals. If not, then we all know that he can't carry the team and that when they become a champion it was obvious that Brown is the man as he was called the MVP finals.

Sixers became more stronger now. For having Brown on their roster they have now flexibility in offense.

Also Edgecombe and Maxey is proven good players and with that Sixers became a playoff contender  next season.

Heavy pressure comes with Tatum now, since if he fail to lead Boston that means they cannot win without Brown. So let's see the outcome towards this surprising trade they made.

[emrecemsan]

Shams reported that Jaylen Brown didn't demand any trade even if his name was floating around about a potential Giannis trade. That's why it could have hurt him after the news of the trade specially going to their arch-rival last season in Sixers.

But this is NBA, there is no such thing as loyalty and everyone is going to be traded. Only few names have pop up that played in one team in their entire season, like Dirk, Kobe and MJ.

Then this is just ridiculous mate... How in the hell Celtics would decide to trade him for no reason? Did they forget very quickly that Jaylen Brown carried the team over his shoulders while Tatum was out? 

He had around an average of 30 PTS in a significant part of regular season. Now do they expect the same effort from Paul George? If they do then they'll see what they get from him instead.

Yeah right, the pressure is on Tatum as we witness last season that Brown Managed to lift them while Tatum still at rest, now that Brown got traded, it's going to be interesting if he can lift the team together with the rest of his teammates, the question right now is how they'll use PG, knowing that he's no longer at his prime, if they got him few years back when he's both good in offense and in defense, right now that's going to be a big question mark if he'll be able to contribute good numbers which Boston needs to win their games.

Maybe because they can't afford to trade Tatum for now. Also maybe they see that Brown is good piece to use due to his past accolades that's why this situation happen.

But Celtics failed miserably and they didn't get Giannis also now they lose Brown. Now situation became more tougher since the player they get is injury prone and already pass on his prime. With this many people speculate that they might struggle to win this season. If they became a losing team after they trade Brown this tells everything that, they badly waste their MVP on a nonsense trade.

I heard that Jaylen Brown DID demand a trade after being upset that his name was included in trade talks for Giannis.  So Jaylen Brown didn't want to get traded but they tried to trade him.  That made him angry so he demanded a trade.  That is my understanding.

The LeBron situation is getting interesting.  I thought for sure he would go to Golden State and stay close to home, but now it seems he's making a massive deal for a documentary about his final season and a return to Cleveland...  Who is to say if those rumors are true or not...  I think it is now only between Cleveland and Golden State.  Legacy or family? 

[Stavri]

It’s incredible not to see LeBron James in a Los Angeles Lakers shirt anymore; it’s a strange feeling, just like the first time he left the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the end, I’m not sure whether he’ll go to Philadelphia, Miami or Golden State. Some people are even mentioning the Denver Nuggets. We’ll see. Of course, if he were to go and play alongside Curry at Golden State, they’d make quite a pairing in the NBA.

every single day there are rumors and news about Lebron, but there's absolutely no actual progress or anything visible happening. 

i wish he would go to Minnesota. roster fits him like a glove it’s basically a slightly better version of this year's Lakers roster in certain ways.
Plus, he’d get a chance to play with a truly competitive squad. but my guess is 90% Cleveland, 10% Golden State.

[CLS63]

LeBron is really linked with so many teams this summer. But if he is searching for a team to offer him a max contract then the number of options would drop down automatically.

Most probably he is looking for that as Lakers also didn't offer such contract to him to stay. By the way I have seen that the group draw is decided for NBA Cup next season. I quite like this format to be honest.

He had carry the Lakers on his back for the years he had spend with them, the lakers get the full payment they got with his service, the only problem with the lakers is that they don't want to get players that could fit with lebron even though they can, they should have not destroy the team that win the ring in the covid era, that team could have won another ring in my opinion.
Lebron will make it to the playoffs with the team he will chose, chasing the ring is hard because of his age, but if his teammates can carry loads and stay healthy they might have a shot, teams that can make it now one of them is the sixers with jalen addition, embiid load will lighten he might just focus on rebound so that his knees will last, he dribbles so much from outside, he should stay inside for better rebound and less stress on knee's.

I mean if you're being constantly trying to be shipped to another team every off-season, you will be pissed by it, right? That's what Brown had experienced, so it might already came to a point where he himself demanded to be out of the team. You being on constant trade talks mean that they don't see you as the future of the team.

As for the Lebron drama, his agent, Rich Paul and Max Kellerman drew something on the white table, and you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHnzkvE-n9w&pp=ygUXbWF4IGtlbGxlcm1hbiByaWNoIHBhdWw%3D

I don't believe on what they're saying though even though Rich Paul is Lebron's agent. For me, there's a big chance that he will be going to the East, and there are 3 teams that I see him that will fit. Philadelphia, Cleveland and New York. I don't see him fitting on Golden State, and even Lebron already said that money isn't his priority anymore, but winning a title, and if he wants to do it, New York is the best choice for him because they just won a title. For me, it's between Cleveland, Philly and NYK.

Golden State, Miami Heat and Cleveland Caveliers.  I think this is the destination for him but I want him to see the with the Cavs and make his retirement there.
Lets make it real, The kid from Akron deserve the best retirement in Cleveland .
Also, The team make an adjustment and ready a spot with Bronny and want to see the father and son duo wearing Cavs.
