2026 NBA Season

[tech30338]

Mike Conley goes to the Boston Celtics. Congratulations to him, one of the players to reach 20 seasons in the league.

He's got the minimum contract for a year with the Celtics.

Still good to have a team that's willing to sign him in, like what you've said he already reached 20 season and there's few more games might be left for his career, Boston is adding veterans who can give some decent minutes when a core player needs to rest, though Conley also can fit to Boston system as he also can hit outside shots which boston have a good plays to make a player free to shoot from the long range.

He can still score, and can guide rookies on how to play the game, he's been in the league for long time, sadly injuries slows him down on the way, but signing with the Celtics might be his last season, i was hoping he would retire with the grizzles but maybe they don't want him, but he has a great run their, now with the celts he will be able to do plays while on the floor he can still run, he shows it in Minnesota.

Embiid will definitely have to learn to take a step back and realize he may not be the MVP of that team now. Because he has missed so many games, nobody says he is not the best player, he is a great player, but he isn't around most of the time and misses many games, and the person who shows up should be the leader and there is a chance Embiid loses that.

Also the same logic over at Lakers now, Doncic is the leader now, Lebron was defacto the leader, I am wondering what Lakers will do now.

Embiid could be lucky that the Sixers haven't trade him by now. Yes, he had won a MVP but he failed to bring the Sixers to the finals as of now. And so he should be smart not to think that he is still their best player, now that they have Jalen Brown.

Also the same logic over at Lakers now, Doncic is the leader now, Lebron was defacto the leader, I am wondering what Lakers will do now.

They are not building a new team under Doncic. There are news that they might be interested to get Jonathan Kuminga. But it looks like his agent is looking for a big deal for his client and doesn't want to accept mid-level salary. But I guess he will be having a hard time to push for Kuminga to have a good contract as he hasn't proven himself yet after moving out of the Warriors.

He may not as good as before like putting up a superstar number each night, but still his consistency and decision making could help a lot on his team. That's why many teams are still interested to acquired him, since aside that he's reliable player. For sure that he can guide his young teammates perform more better.

Don't know if Celtics will be his last team, but if he's still in demand for sure that he will not going to retire. Also same as what you like hope to see him retire on Grizzlies, because we see him became a notable player in that team.

Agree to that, his presence inside and outside the court can still help those young stars and if by chance he got decent playing time for sure he can still contribute, though we can't conclude it right now as we haven't see him playing with the whole team, we never know till we see him perform, another veteran together with their new acquire PG, they can play that veteran role to guide the youngsters.

Hopefully he will really be a big help, but if not, it is not a big loss for the Celtics because they only acquired him on a minimum contract.

Since Boston is consistently in the playoffs and already a championship team, they do not need him to carry the team. But Conley being a good point guard, for sure he can still be a huge help. I am also excited for him because this is his chance to win a ring before he retires. At one point in his career, he was one of the highest-paid players in the NBA, so now the only thing lacking is a championship ring to make his career more complete.

I thought at one point he will win a ring sadly all the teams that he played when they are nearing or almost in the west finals they were eliminated, all the hard work and effort are go to waste although after lots of runs injuries slows him down, sometimes when they needed the most he is injured, i hope he will be able to reach at least a eastern finals or even win and let him experience a championship match atmosphere, although the Celtics this coming season is not a contender for sure, because they let brown go.

[Vaculin]

although the Celtics this coming season is not a contender for sure, because they let brown go.

We never know, do not forget that they have Paul George. He is still a very decent player who can score inside and outside.

A healthy PG could really help a healthy Tatum get more victories. Maybe Brown is just too hyped because of his production, but when Tatum was playing, Brown was always the 2nd option, so maybe it is not really a huge loss for the team to let him go.

But let us see, I just hope their decision is something they will not regret.

Brian Windhorst already said that Lebron is eyeing to return to Cavs like I imagined. I knew that he would want to go there, it is reasonable to want to finish off there.

It makes sense, because we are going to see him do a fine job there, it is not going to be really that complicated and we could definitely see him have a farewell tour type of thing. He started it all there, at Clevland and he wants to just finish it there instead. I think that is a very noble move without a doubt.

[el kaka22]

Paul George had just 1 season with more than 60 games in the past 7 years. I mean this isn't just couple of seasons we are talking about, he had 37-41-74-56-31-54-48. That is how many games he played each season, that proves that he is not going to be that great as he ages, I mean he already had this much low impact and low counts of games since he was 30 years old, and now he is becoming 36 years old and we are expecting him to do a better job and stay healthy? I do not think so.

The whole "if he stays healthy" thing is silly when you look at these numbers, yeah sure if he stays healthy he will play, but also if I start making every shot I take, I will be signed to NBA at this age, there is no logic on my "if" is there? You find that silly, well PG staying healthy is also silly, he won't be.

It does seem like LeBron is leaving the door open for a return to Cleveland but I think that is only if he can’t make something better work somewhere else. It’s a good fallback story. I have heard he is seriously considering the 76ers now. Rumors are that he wants to see a Harden for Kyrie trade before going to Cleveland and if that doesn’t materialize, it could be the 76ers. The Warriors situation doesn’t seem to be working out as they have failed to trade for Anthony Davis and I’m not sure LeBron or Miami wants to see a reunion there…

So I think if we don’t see AD to the Warriors or Kyrie to the Cavs, we may see a superteam in Philly.

Exactly, so I don't know why there are still fans who think that he can still healthy with Boston as his history tells us that he can't even had a full season with the Clippers. And most likely this is what the fans of the Celtics are concern and they have every reason to call out Brad Stevens for one of the worst trade this season.

For the Sixers, it looks like the team might be in high spirit already and very excited to see Jaylen Brown. And again, they have a solid starters. I'm haven't check the outright, but they could be on top as one of the favorites already for the upcoming season.

I would say sixers got the better of the trades because they get Jaylen brown, they just need to manage embiid health meaning they will do load manage during the regular season, because every time he plays in the playoffs he is already banged up, so the sixers success rest on this things and the rumors that LeBron might play in the sixers will boost their team as a veteran and in more NBA finals, but lets see if the sixers will also do other moves to get players to prepare for this coming season.

[passwordnow]

Lakers have added free agent Kevon Looney to their ranks, from being a team being bullied around last season at the center position, now Luka and Reaves have two of the best in the business, Looney who already have huge experience during his time at Golden State Warriors with Steph and Klay Thompson back in the day.. The Lakers weakness in my opinion still lies in their wing department, if they had managed to retain both Rui and Marcus Smart maybe I'll have a different opinion, but the new season is still far ahead, maybe they've still got some trades up their sleeves.

Speaking of Lakers, Jonathan Kuminga is going to Lakers too. They have agree to a sign and trade deal for him. I thought that there will be no team that's going to take him.

Khris Middleton has agreed to a 3-year $17.6M deal to return to the Wizards via sign-and-trade. The Wizards are making a lot of moves this offseason. I can’t say I really see their vision but it’s hard to miss the amount of moves they’re making. I think they are desperately trying to scrape a playoff team together.

That's good for him and the Wizards rebuilding the roster and too many things happening. Not yet sure about AD with them because it's possible that they'll also trade him for his value.

Many said Cleveland will be the best top destination to land by Lebron, but recently when Bob Myers show an interest to sign Lebron then recruit him on their team and flaunt that they have good roster  and his chances to win a championship is huge if he choose to sign with Sixers. Well I agree with this since recently for acquiring Brown Sixers now became more stronger and if Lebron will be added their this team will became a huge threat and have great chance for title run next season.

AD will provably not going anywhere next season and I have huge feeling that LBJ will also sign in Sixers, since the offer also potential of this team is really high.

According to NBA insider Brian Windhorst, LeBron James has already decided where he will continue his career. While he is keeping the decision tightly under wraps, the vibes are pointing toward a return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

https://basketnews.com/news-251600-lebron-james-has-decided-on-his-next-team.html

So what is he waiting for? An offer?

Or he just wants to excite his fans and always be on the trend? I mean, everybody is looking at him and waiting for whichever team he will go to. It's nice to be in the spotlight, but NBA fans might get bored and switch to a new discussion.

I also think it will be Cleveland. It's a good record to have many championships in just a small number of teams. Or perhaps he is breaking a new record for having many rings on different teams. That will be cool. He will be the first one to win a championship in 4 teams.

Horry - 3 teams - 7 championships.
Green - 3 teams - 3 championships.

But let us see, I just hope their decision is something they will not regret.

Paul George would have been a big deal if it was 10 years ago, not anymore, he is better at podcasting than playing basketball these days. Dude has been averaging 16-17 points per game, and not even defending like he used to, sure not bad but not great neither.

I think it is very clear that we are not going to see the peak PG13 period, he has been not that great since he left Indiana but at least OKC was a decent period compared to this. At clippers he tried his best and wasn't terrible but at Sixers he was constantly injured and gone and not playing well when he came back.

Is Cavaliers ready to give him maximum contract? Because as far as I know LeBron's demand was just like that from Lakers...

If they are okay with that then I also don't see any meaning for him to extend his thinking time for his next team. He already has history with Cavaliers.

Maybe the fans hated him back then when he left.    But now I guess they are okay to have him back.

Yeah right, we never know yet if PG will be a good addition but similar to what you said, with a healthy Tatum and PG play the way he use to play the game though not in the same prime as before, but we've seen him last season that there's a game where he can still contribute decently, just needed to be more active and better health condition, Boston might not be good in papers but once they start playing the system they shows better outcomes.

He already give the cavaliers the ring they want for long years, so i don't think there is a reason for the cavaliers to disrespect LeBron, maybe LeBron is weighing who is the best team that can run for a championship that can match the west, although the knicks is the defending champs i don't think they can make it this next season, even though they have come out of the east and win the ring, Jaylen brown coming to the sixers may have halt LeBron decision to go to the cavaliers, its an opportunity.
