2026 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

I just read a report that said LeBron will not be joining the 76ers unless they trade Embiid. I guess he doesn’t want to play with him for whatever reason. I don’t see the Sixers trading him either. Starting to look a lot like the King will be going to Miami but I think he’s deliberately changing the narrative daily. Hopefully this drama ends tomorrow.

Lol, this is a crazy request by LeBron if it's ever true. I am surprised that an NBA player can make this request, especially in a trade transaction. It just means that's how powerful LeBron is?

I also agree with you that the Sixers for sure won't allow it. Joel Embiid is a gem for Sixers; they just need make Joel Embiid to be healthy, for sure he can carry the team till playoffs.

It's because of injuries, and TBH we can't blame if that's how Lebron sees him because let's face it. Embiid's been an injury-prone ever since he won that MVP. In the last 3 seasons, he only played 96 games. That's way lower than 50%, and that for me is the number one reason why Lebron doesn't want to go there.

Like you, I don't see Embiid getting traded as well because the Sixers will obviously lose in the long run. Imagine having a 42-year old player for only one season in exchange for an all-star player like Embiid. I'd risk it all on Embiid if I'm the GM. Miami, Golden State and Cleveland. That's the top three teams now for me, and whatever happens, I just hope that him and Bronny will play again on the same team for one final season.

As for the drama ending, I don't see it ending. As long as there's you and me who are talking about it, it will stay like that. Analysts are happy talking about it anyway.

You can read it here the concern of Lebron about Embiid https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/lebron-james-reportedly-deep-concerns-070831593.html

But I don't see any confirm reports that he don't want to play with Embiid, since what reports show his only concerns towards health or Durability of their main star. Maybe LBJ don't want to get stuck up on possible losing team on end time of his career that's why maybe he released those concerns.

I would like to see him and Curry team up. The history between LeBron and the Warriors would make that an epic pairing. The prediction markets switched up today and are now favoring Miami as a landing spot, so maybe somebody knows something… LeBron having Bam and Giannis as teammates would have a shot at a title.

I don’t how can this happened at least for now considering their salary will consume most of the salary cap of the team. They can possibly do this by lowering their salary or trading away their core players for rookie players to open up more space for their salary.

If this happened, I believe the team that they will enter will surely boost popularity. However, performance is the biggest issue seems it might be the Lakers 2.0 of Lebron. 

I think cards with both of them will be popular in the same jersey but i think Steph and LeBron will be a different thing inside the court in the NBA, they might have great runs but in the playoffs they needed more than the two of them, because playoffs will drain everything on them, the Warriors run for the championship in the early years are being carried by the players like Livingston, and Iggy and other supporting cast this is what the people don't realized in the early years they are only looking at Steph Klay shots but without those core players they wont be able to win.

I haven't check the roster of the Warriors or their bench players. Although Post is no longer with them as he decided to pursue lucrative contracts. But when the Warriors has their runs, it's true they have a lot of supporting cast.

One name that pops up in my mind is Juan Tuscano Anderson. After they win a championship and he goes out of the Warriors he was never the same player again. So the Warriors has history of building good role players. So if they have this kind of players next season, maybe if Lebron teams up with Curry, they might have a better chance to win another ring with the help of those players.

This is going to be tough for the 76ers. If they're going to trade Embiid just to let LeBron in, I guess that's business as usual. They have to let go of Joel and what if they do it already and then the deal has been sealed and yet, LeBron changed his mind and won't go to 76ers. That sucks for the 76ers and that's why they have to decide what they'll have to do. Otherwise, no need to do such thing they have Brown already.

Yeah, it's going to be very difficult decision for the Sixers, but I highly doubt that they are going to trade Embiid just to take Lebron. So for me he won't go to Sixers no matter what, it will be Cavs, Heat or the Warriors with Steph Curry.

I think the Sixers will be a solid them either way. They have Jaylen Brown now, still in his prime and partner him with Joel Embiid and Maxey, that's already some form of Big 3 already. If might be just a problem on who is coming from the bench.

Yeah, I don't think also that they're going to trade him. But who knows, if LeBron wants to go to the Sixers with that condition, let's see that if there's a chance for the team to take it. If I am the GM I'll take him, it's business that matters and Embiid is an injury prone guy. Yet, they'll need some main big guy to sustain the roster they have. Otherwise, Drummond is going to be the next part of the main line up.

I agree to that, we never know what's inside the management's mind right now, if they can seal the deal with LeBron maybe they'll going to take it as business wise, LeBron still can attract more fans and supporters, that means he can generate decent profits for the franchise and similar to what you've said, even Embiid have his MVP from team but being injury prone and still unable to bring his team to the finals, still no announcement though so let's wait for that final decision from LeBron's camp.

Business wise, they'll have to adhere to that condition. But if they don't want to mess up with what they have right now, they just decline and outright say that to Bron directly. This is really making a lot of people want to look into where LeBron is going. I guess that he's aware that the world is also watching and waiting for him where he should go next since there are no announcements yet.

I guess it is time for the 76ers to let him go. He can still contribute when he is healthy, but sometimes I do not think he fits well with the team.

From what I see, he is not always a team player because he often wants to control the ball and take over the offense. That can make it harder for the team to play smoothly.

Maybe it is time for the Sixers to try something different. Other teams have improved by experimenting with new lineups and changing their style, so maybe Philadelphia should do the same. Sometimes, a fresh start is what a team needs to finally become a real championship contender.

Although I do not really believe LeBron will win another championship with a new team, and I would say there is more than a 50% chance it will not happen, I still think trading Embiid for LeBron could be a good idea. The Sixers have already tried many experiments. They brought in Jimmy Butler, Paul George, and other big-name players. They usually perform well in the regular season, but once the playoffs begin, they always fall short.

Actually, it is not just sometimes anymore. It has become a pattern. So maybe it is time for them to try something completely different, and bringing in LeBron could give the team the leadership and playoff experience they have been missing.

[jaberwock]

This is why I love the basketball player Lebron, and hate the person Lebron. Because when he plays, yes he is one of the best ever, possibly maybe the best ever who played this game. Nobody I can remember played 23 seasons at this level, dudes ability and also consistency is unmatched, he is the best bar none when it comes to longevity at this level, he is still scoring like crazy.

Even MJ when he came back for Wizards sucked. However, the human one, the person, he is a dickhead because he keeps making it al la business and money making chance, dude if you knew you would leave, decide long ago, why the hell are we spending a whole summer talking about which team Lebron will go, AGAIN? Like how many more times does he plan to do this?

He's far from being absolutely healthy. We've seen the past seasons and he's got no help to the team due to his injury. But when he's healthy, he's reliable. This is something new that they can do if they ever want to do it. But it's all up to them if they'll pass on this and they've got a better plan without Lebron on the plans that they're going to make. It's just a hint from the king and they're still going to decide for it.

That's right. It's really up to the sixers management if they will choose to protect their current structure or they will take this chance to bring Lebron that can bring a huge business value and attract attention for the franchise.

On the other hand, Embiid's injury is one thing they should consider. The possibility is stil always there, but at the same time, it is still a huge decision to make as he is still an MVP player. As for Lebron, this is something interesting especially there hasn't been any official announcement yet. If he really has that kind of specific condition, then the sixers management have to decide.

Would the recommendation be not to take that gamble? We all know Embiid is injury-prone, just like Anthony Davis. However, Davis still managed to win a championship, so taking a risk on an injury-prone star can sometimes pay off.

Embiid has already earned a huge contract because he has been the leader of the Sixers. If he stays healthy, though, it becomes a completely different story, especially during the postseason. But if the management no longer believes in him, then he will most likely be traded so the team can get something valuable in return.

That would also be a risk for whichever team acquires Embiid. In the end, it’s all business. But as fans, we simply want to see our team play well and compete with a complete roster. The Sixers are hoping to be much better than last season, when Embiid’s injury greatly affected their performance.

Whether it's really his own money or not, and whether the bet wins or loses, Stake already won. They got free worldwide promotion.

Many websites, news pages, and social media accounts covered the story. Some may not have mentioned Stake directly, but a lot of people already know that Drake is associated with Stake. And for those who didn't know, some will search for details about his bet and eventually find out that he's connected to Stake.

If that's the case, it's a pretty clever way to promote the brand. It reaches a massive audience, including both existing and potential new users.

there will be a lot of things that will change, since harden also want the ball same with mitchell two have to backoff and one will be the main ball handler this decision will be made if lebron do chose Cleveland, same with shots lebron will not pass the ball to you if you dont make a good position that is why its very important for you to move and dont stay in a same position all game, lebron will only pass the ball if you are open, better position is really important when you are playing with lebron,

I understand the argument on Lebron James joining team to form a superteam. But in Miami it was totally different with the position with Dwade and Chris Bosh. But if he joins the Cavs again, they are almost the same position with Mitchell and Harden.

So that alone might be a conflict and someone will have to give-in or have to adjust. And then the issue with Harden not playing defense might be a thing with Lebron as he wants his team mates to play defensively. You can see his frustrations when he was with the Lakers and his team mates not playing defense like Ayton or even Austin Reaves.

I would say, if Lebron joins Cavs, then Cavs needs to make sure they have room for him, financially speaking. Salary cap doesn't just let you sign whoever they want, and from what I can see, Lebron can't get a max contract from Cavs unless they get rid of someone. And Harden seems to be the first one to go in that case. If they can find a trade, then they could do Harden and Lebron sign and trade as well, that way some other team would sign Lebron and trade him for Harden instantly. That seems like the only possible way for a max contract to Cavs.

We should hear news today. I don’t think Embiid gets traded. That was probably misinformation. The rumors I’m hearing today are that the leak of his daughter enrolling in a Philly school was real and he’s going to be a Sixer. He’s been pretty clear that his daughter is the motivation for his choice. Hopefully we find out in a matter of hours.
