Then theres this clown. And Im always almost torn on taking him back as bench defense. But theres nothing like a shirtless model pose to let you know he is tired of celebrity lifestyle and just wants to play basketball.

A massive no Fing way from me

This might be the most shocked I've ever been by a move made by a Philadelphia sports team. I'm trying to come up with a player that has been traded to a Philadelphia team that I felt was less likely to be traded to a Philadelphia team than Jaylen Brown, but I just can't... anyone else have any ideas?

Terrell Owens

We actually have an all star, all nba caliber wing. And it didnt cost us any of our guard talent.

This is unbelievable.

Out of nowhere.

Yeah, I couldn't believe we kept both of our top guards.

Yep…lebron would obviously help any team but he’s not going to be happy doing the dirty work the sixers need…rebounding & interior defense…not night in & night out at age42. Cavs already have bigs for that role.

If that's settled then it's time to move on a Kuminga or Rui. Or a center.

Lakers prioritizing Kuminga over Rui. So maybe we have a shot a Rui. No idea what sort of money we have to get him.

Rui doesn’t rebound or defend at all though.

That is true. But Gansey seems to be stocking up on 2 types of players

Scorers- Brown, Simons, Love

and

Defenders- DWade, Hukporti, Rupert

Rui fits the scorer archetype and the pickings are slim.

The fallback in my book is bringing Yabusele back.

Other names out there are sucky Sochan... old Olynek..., Nance, Kleber

At center theres Nick Richards... Tony Bradley... Nothing exciting there either.

Rui used to not play defense he does now and he was actually one of the lakers better defenders the last couple years. He isn't elite or anything but he isn't a turnstile either

Odds really moved since yesterday. So definitely heard Cleveland front runner and very unlikely Sixers as they went from +350 to 1000

yeah that looks like some info has occurred behind the scenes. Not even 2nd anymore. GS got back ahead somehow.

I actually never saw this.

Someone made the photo!

Rui to the clippers

Thought maybe we would have Love and Rupert there.

Guess Philon and Big Fish will be the draw.

I remember Cisse being pretty solid last year.

Said this a couple days back, that 2028 clippers pick isn’t going to be as great cause they aren’t going to sit around and just be bad not owning their 2028 pick and 2029 being potentially swapped. It’s going to likely be somewhere form like 13-19

DeRozan waived

If there was any fear of the trade falling through with Paul George's knees failing the physical, the trade is complete. It's official. We actually got Jaylen Brown.

6ers are officially announcing moves now like Simons as well.

Maybe an Embiid move to be announced soon? He's still completely silent. That's very weird.

Looks like LeBron left LA because he felt they mishandled his free agency.

The way the Los Angeles Lakers approached the free agency of LeBron James was the deciding factor in why he decided to leave the franchise this offseason. James remains undecided on which team he will sign with in free agency.

Sources close to James told ESPN that the way the Lakers handled his re-signing process mattered more than the money involved. James reportedly would have accepted less than the $52.6 million he earned last season had the Lakers clearly explained its plan to reallocate that money.

That explanation never came, according to sources, and James never met face-to-face with the organization before making his decision.

One Lakers team source acknowledged the franchise may have fallen short in recognizing what James sacrificed this past season by stepping into a reduced role alongside Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.

"Honestly, I don't know if we did enough to acknowledge the sacrifices he made in being willing to give the keys over to Luka and AR this year," said the staffer. "Of course he has a big ego and people can say what they want about that. But he's also the No. 1 scorer in the history of basketball and he really tried to do what was best for the team to win."

A separate team source described the financial dynamic as a disadvantage tied to James' existing ties with the franchise. Even an offer $10 million to $15 million above market value could have felt like a pay cut, since another team could offer its full allotment, the source explained.

The Lakers held Bird rights that would have allowed them to exceed offers from other teams. Instead, sources indicate the front office spent weeks debating internally how to present a reduced offer without appearing disrespectful toward James' legacy and contributions.

James ultimately made the decision before the Lakers could formalize their approach, ending an eight-year tenure that included an NBA championship in the 2020 Florida bubble.

This represented a sudden change of mind as a few weeks before the start of free agency, James told Rich Paul that he was "80 percent" sure he would stay with the Lakers for another season.
