2026-27 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

He surely wants Bron against us on Xmas

 

Christian Wood!!! What the hell happened to THAT guy???

 

Lebron will announce his decision after the World Cup final Sunday. I anticipate it being Monday or Tuesday so he can have the news cycle all to himself smh.

 

some members of our forum felt we really held him back, lol.

 

I checked up in google and looks like his knee never came back well enough from the scoping procedures.

 

This is probably the case isn’t it.

Does anyone else feel like there will be a second wave of moves for teams in August to finalise rosters? There is still a dozen teams that feel unfinished or flat out just have way too many rostered players.

 

Yeah Demar Derozan who probably ends up in Detroit.

or possibly Minnesota.

 

Can we please have the conversation because Thiero is looking like OG out there. Please post his game. The Dunks the 3 the steals. The rebounds. Assists. He does it all.

Wow just actually f***ing wow!!! Now I see why the decision was made on LeBron. We’re actually young.

Thieros 20 Carrs 22 we have Bridges and OG we have the making of the Knicks Brunson Luka. And we got the anchor inside Kessler.

All I heard all season was 3-D well you gotta get Watson. Can you pay Peyton Watson. Thiero looks like a steal in the second round. And people said he got a first round grade but because of the ACL injury. The Lakers are a problem. We got 3-D all over the court Thiero Carr Grimes.

if we bring in Kaminga. Watch out. We have so much length. And matchup problems. The spacing is going to be great with Luka and Reaves.

Luka Reaves Grimes Thiero Carr Kessler

Sexton Mamu James LaRavia that’s a deep f***ing team.

? Kaminga. That’s a young squad. I see what Mark Walters is doing. The word is depth. You gotta get younger like these other teams.

guess what the Spurs and Thunder don’t have???? A Luka. And Lukas already beaten the Thunder in the playoffs.

San Antonio doesn’t have our shooting. Wembys an alien. But we got a deep squad.

I say top 3 west. With Kaminga we can beat anybody. Cause what yall ain’t seeing. Just having Kaminga on the floor forces the defense to give Luka open looks cause once he penetrates there’s a lob for a Kaminga or a Carr or a Thiero and a Kessler.

LeBron was great but the traffic cone defense was destroying us. We become more gritty and stingy while scoring. Gotta give Rob credit.

key was getting young guys like Thiero and Carr on the floor LeBron would’ve never let that happen.

and I haven’t even bought up Zaire Williams. This team is a matchup problem for NBA teams.

all this the Lakers are white b******* is b*******.

have you seen these brothas??? We’re adding three of the most athletic brothas in the league to our squad. Thiero Carr Williams. Just greyhounds who can jump next to Luka and Reaves. So for all your Finney Smith we got all that super cheap. Luka and Reaves are protected. Now they can focus on scoring. We have balance such balance.

I’m doing cart wheels. I see my Thiero Bynum improvement. Now he just doesn’t look like an athlete. He looks like a basketball player.

Gotta give Rob Pelinka credit for his scouting.

 

Old vid that popped in my feed, really liked their reading of this roster. I'm excited for this year, I think the pieces fit well.
Looking forward to close the roster and go all sicko orchestrating rotation during August and September

 

The non-guarantees on this deal are interesting. Most teams structure their RFA offers to make it difficult for the original team to match.

This almost feels like the opposite.

I wonder if New York did this knowing Dallas was going to match, but put the non-guarantees in there so that Dallas may be incentivized to cut him down the line so that he can then be an unrestricted free agent that New York now has an inroads to acquire

 

Great outside the box thinking on your part. Possibly. Apron is so restrictive that teams need to find loopholes. Dodgers management is good at that, so Lakers are probably in good hands.

Holy. Hawks look good!
How does this work for a S&T for Kuminga? They are eating salary

 

hawks giving up on their #1 overall pick already

 

Calling it…they are going to give us Lu Dort and Kuminga for picks AND everything else we’ve proposed.

 

Dallas didn’t give up much at all.

 

Hawks perimeter defense is a force.
Dallas has a college coach, so if anyone can turn the current trajectory for Risacher, that's a good bet.

OKC continues to send all their salary dumps out East. Very intentional.

 

"Hawks perimeter defense a force". Yep. With a guy who knows his "role" well, can come off the bench, or pinch bat for you when you need it.

Forgot about the coach in Dallas. Good catch.

I think OKC sending all their salary dumps out east is smart. Why help anyone in the west? LOL. Shrewd, IMO.

 

Atl took on two players with one outgoing, though they might cut nembhard. Wonder if this opens the door to just keeping Kuminga on a one-year? Conversely, does this make Washington even more available? Dallas has Flagg, Marshall, and now risacher who are all big forward types wanting 30mpg.
