2026 NBA Season

[stadus]

Are the rumors true? james is already decided where to play and he might be already sign? i just heard in the social media that he has already the team, and its not the cavaliers, so who might it be the percentage of it being a sixers is a bit bigger, could it be that he will play in the sixers this season?

From what I know, the three teams that could possibly land LeBron are the Cavaliers, Sixers, and Warriors.

If he does not return to Cleveland, I am hoping he ends up with the Warriors. That team still has championship potential, and adding LeBron could give them a real chance to make another run and win one more title.

If this is true we might see him another 2 years in the league because mostly if a star will retire he will go back to his first team and retire there, but hoping it would be the cavaliers he sign just in case he did, it will be a great season i think.

on that, I would only say it depends if lebron will remain healthy and able to bring his usual numbers, ( not prime numbers)...

[Jostern]

Lebron is not offering success anymore, hasn't in a while, been like 2-3 seasons. He is promising merch sales and ticket sales and even match day income. The more people come, the more tickets you sell, the more beers and hot dogs you sell, and the more jerseys and shirts you sell.

So any team that gets Lebron, on the year he retires, and I bet this will be his last contract, will be a team that makes a lot of money. So offering Lebron just max, is not even enough, he deserves more than max, because whoever gets him on last year, will be making way more than what they are paying him. I would say Cavs would be the best choice too, I agree with that, he came as "king of akron" and he should leave like that as well.

yeah. viewership of his new team will increase for sure. Ticket sales will rise too, the team will constantly be in the spotlight,and they’ll get much wider coverage in the media.
in fact, signing Lebron will definitely provide a massive boost from a marketing perspective.

LeBron have a very good and interesting business revenue, signing him will always bring a good and significant boost in any financial opportunity and also increase there revenue, coupled with endorsements and sponsorship deals which will be widely appreciated.

However I don’t think LeBron James have much to offer in the court now considering his age which is very important to consider while making a decision to sign him because it’s only go to be a different position while signing him there are so many factors to consider while signing LeBron.

Maybe his leadership and presence in the locker room will be enough on whoever teams he decided to go. He has so much experience under his belt that he could mentor even the best of them. So still a big boost for any team to have Lebron.

And it was said that he is willing to take a big paycut just to be in a team that has the potential to have another ring. And he can still play though, unlike those legends that retire because their game is really going down. Any game, Lebron can put up a good score or more than 20 points.

There is no confirmation yet, so unless it becomes official, I would not believe it. The current rumor is that he could sign with the Cavs, but like I said, we should wait for an official announcement. Whatever happens, LeBron is no longer the type of superstar who can carry a team to a championship by himself, so this news is not as relevant as it would have been years ago. At this point, the bigger question is probably where he will finish his career and eventually retire.

Trying to read up the latest news about Lebron but still there's no confirmation yet on which team he's choosing https://www.hitc.com/lebron-james-list-of-potential-nba-free-agency-destinations-narrows-to-three/

Although the there are three promising teams that show interest and best destination to land if he want to win championship still decision of Lebron remain questionable.

Many sees that after those noise made by Sixers management they have best shot to sign Lebron, but let see if LBJ will commit on that team.

[emrecemsan]

No doubt Brown has the bigger impact to the team.

I don't know what's on the mind of the Celtics management for getting that expensive injury prone guy and let go of Brown.

They did Brown dirty and that's a decision that they're going to regret. And now eyes are on the 76ers with Brown and Embiid and some good rookie.

That's on Brad Stevens! A horrible move by him... Celtics could have been much more competitive next season. In the end Tatum is also back now. I don't know if there was anything personal between the board and Brown though.

But expending a crucial player shouldn't be this easy.    What will Paul George do now to make up for Brown's absence? Other than getting injured often? Even if he doesn't I wouldn't still expect a performance near Brown's...

Obviously, he could help make up for Brown since he was traded for him. As for the injury concern, we really do not know what will happen, and of course we hope he stays healthy. PG is an experienced player, and the Celtics are already an experienced team, so I think he could fit well. Right now, people are focused on the possibility of him getting injured again, but he might surprise everyone and finish the whole season healthy.

For me, I am choosing to stay positive because I really do not want to see the Celtics fail.

The trade was really bad, i dont know what are their problems with brown but he is the one responsible for the last title they get, but they need to move on now because its already done, they have to understand paul george is not the same   PG in indiana yes he got still on him but the way he play today is different when they needed the guy to step up PG disappear they could be the one in the finals but it did not happen, he is the missing player in the sixer last season run in the playoffs, i thought he will go vintage PG but he is only good in the few quarters after that nothing, maybe they will do a strategy like play him in the second half because he is always in control in the few quarters so using him fresh in the third or fourth should work maybe.

Yes, he may not be the same player now, but PG had great numbers during his time with the Clippers. That performance was one of the reasons the Sixers decided to acquire him. When Kawhi Leonard was injured, the Clippers were already struggling, but PG still stepped up. Do you remember when he helped lead the Clippers to their first Western Conference Finals appearance? They lost that series, but PG was really impressive during that run.

PG in indiana yes he got still on him but the way he play today is different when they needed the guy to step up PG disappear they could be the one in the finals but it did not happen, he is the missing player in the sixer last season run in the playoffs, i thought he will go vintage PG but he is only good in the few quarters after that nothing, maybe they will do a strategy like play him in the second half because he is always in control in the few quarters so using him fresh in the third or fourth should work maybe.

That was different in Indiana because those were PG’s prime years, and the injury he suffered was really serious.

Even before that, Indiana was mostly known as one of the teams LeBron kept beating in the playoffs, so I would not call them the strongest team PG ever had. For me, the strongest team PG played for was the Clippers. They had enough talent to compete for a championship, but they still fell short.

[Cointxz]

Because Tatum appeals a lot to the fans that’s why they want to stick to their main guy Tatum while is always just a side line player for them helping Tatum.

Even their championship run when Brown becomes MVP they still give credits to Tatum a lot for giving way for Brown to carry the team on offense while he draw attention of the defender to make Brown free.

Tbf, Tatum is good but his injury is always destroying their momentum multiple times.

I guess every duo that we have seen in the league, sooner or later they will have to break up. Just like what happen to Shaq and Kobe, the Lakers chooses Kobe to be their franchise player and let go of Shaq.

And I think they have made the right decision as Kobe bring back to back ring with them that time and proved that he can manage and bring the Lakers. So hopefully this could be the case for Tatum as he needs to show that he is really their franchise player.

Honestly, Brown and Tatum were never viewed as duo. In fact, I view them as competing to each other since they frequently trying to be the best by getting the spotlight instead of supporting each other unlike popular duo that you mentioned that both cooperate to each other to create an opening, assist and score.

Maybe because of their similarities of their play that’s why I view it as competing to each other.

Either way, Brown is on good team now assuming that Embiid will be healthy even with just the playoffs run.

PG13 only played 37 games last season because of injury and the suspension because of some drugs whatsoever.

I don't know, but there's a big hole that PG will fill because the one that the Celtics traded is also an all-star player who carried the team last regular season and when many are thinking that they'll be a lottery team, he said "NO" and put the team into the 2nd seed. Let's disregard for a sec the fact that they got bounced on the first round, but Brown is a big help for the team and their campaign last season, and that's what PG will be trying to fill. Obviously there are some Celtics fans that are pissed of this trade, and there are some analysts who are thinking negatively about the trade, but I think let's give PG time. Let's give him a full year then from there, we can conclude if the trade is a fail or a success.

I don't think that this trade will make the team fail. It's just that many doesn't see the team as somebody who can win it all on the East anymore after this trade.

Nothing is certain and we can't expect something that uncontrollable, PG's condition if ever that he's gonna make it, and be as healthy as he can then help can be provided by him knowing the type of player he was, let us see if what help he can bring aside from being a veterans to this league, hopefully they still make it to the playoffs with the new sets of players especially that one of their main star is no longer with them.

[Qastessa]

Didn't Brian Windhorts said that he would go to Cavs? Am I remembering it wrong? It was him the first one to say that Lebron is going to Cavs. I think if he goes to another team, a team he never played before, then I think it would be very boring end of a career.

For me, if he finishes at Miami or Cavs, that would be the ideal situation, Cavs would be the most epic one, no doubt about it, he would be very much welcomed there. You could literally have Lebron plus 11 players who are from g-league and you would still sell out every game due to him being on his last season (allegedly)

Lebron doing mind games with all the people this is why he is still popular how he approach the game inside and out as business this make things really interesting, CAVS and HEAT is the best one but he might be going elsewhere still we are not sure now if its sixers or something else, and yes even with G-league teammates tickets is going to be sold out because of him.
Could the league intervene so that they could announce where he is going, everyone is so excited where he will be, haters and fans are waiting lol.

[wiss19]

While Miami is getting better with Giannis, I think Lebron would be the worst player for them at this season. Because the good players they have right now is Giannis and Bam, which is not really something that would be all that easy to see as that good, because they are both inside players, Lebron is not famous for his three point shooting neither. So if Lebron and Giannis and Bam all play together, they are going to have a huge trouble without a doubt. Lebron needs to go to a team with some shooters around, it has been the case for the past twenty years, and I doubt it would change now.

I am not entirely sure. While that might work, would they be really a ring chasing squad? I mean Draymond is old and not as good, Curry is still decent but not his alien level of shooting, like not 10+ attempts per game, 5+ threes made per game type of Curry anymore, not that he is shooting like 2 threes lol, he still makes like 4 a game, but not 5+ like he used to, and his 30+ ppg became 26 last year.

So he is aging too, and I am not sure who they kept neither, like Butler is there right? So Butler + Curry + Lebron + Green? That would be the squad? I do not know, 5 years ago that was a lethal team, but today it looks like just "once upon a time great players" type of old members man, so I am too sure if they can stay healthy for the whole season.

Lebron needs to go to a team with some shooters around, it has been the case for the past twenty years, and I doubt it would change now.

I don't even think that LeBron is going to choose to go with the Miami Heat. While I would like this tandem of Bam and Giannis having LeBron might just be another good role player which he can support the two. I thought that today LeBron is going to announce which team he's going, maybe not yet.

From what I know, the three teams that could possibly land LeBron are the Cavaliers, Sixers, and Warriors.

I think he's most likely going with the Cavs. It's even a meme when there's a voice call from Luke Kornet of Spurs that tells they also have a space for LeBron.

Tbf, Tatum is good but his injury is always destroying their momentum multiple times.

I agree that they've chosen Tatum over Brown.

Despite that mvp that Brown has got, the talk is still with Tatum. I guess that the media has something to do with that.

And it's the management's choice that they've got more appeal to the fans if it's with Tatum than Brown. Anyway, I hope that Jaylen will do good with his new team.

[Shinpako09]

I think he's most likely going with the Cavs. It's even a meme when there's a voice call from Luke Kornet of Spurs that tells they also have a space for LeBron.

For me, it's either the Cavs or the Warriors. I don't think his other suitors, like the Sixers, Heat, Wolves, or Nuggets, will give him an offer that satisfies him.

He might no longer be the player who can carry a team like he did before, but he knows he can still generate a lot of money. Even last season, his jersey was one of the best-selling jerseys in the league. It will probably sell even more once he announces his retirement. Ticket sales and jersey sales, etc, will surely increase. That's what he's bringing to a team, not prime LeBron, but his star power and business value. He knows that, and he understands the business side of the game.

[passwordnow]

LeBron have a very good and interesting business revenue, signing him will always bring a good and significant boost in any financial opportunity and also increase there revenue, coupled with endorsements and sponsorship deals which will be widely appreciated.

However I don’t think LeBron James have much to offer in the court now considering his age which is very important to consider while making a decision to sign him because it’s only go to be a different position while signing him there are so many factors to consider while signing LeBron.

In fairness of his play style, I think that he can still play ball and has got a lot to offer. He's a good midrange shooter and sometimes in the three. Although the main feat right now is the revenue that he can bring to the team and the potential that they will end up in the playoffs. I think it won't matter to him anymore for as long as he can be with a team that can potentially get his final chip before retirement.

Yes he is still good because he has the experience and the skills during his prime but considering the amount he still getting paid while he doesn’t play too much aggressive these days are already equivalent to team main ace player.

However, Acquiring Lebron is still gives a lot of benefits especially on the popularity of the team that will boost marketing presence.

But on the match itself, he needs to be on a team that already has developed team to make his leadership and experience matter.
