2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

I'm all for whatever helps us win. Other than the ego issue, to preserve LeBron maybe he could be that sixth man. He could get his 25 minutes a night in the regular season against lesser opponents. Always have either Luka or LeBron on the court except for blowouts. LeBron could proclaim he is a real team guy after all. Sixth man of the year.

 

Yeah..but He's still the one, that was named All NBA last season. If these kids stepped up and played their roles, that's going to preserve him too. I can see him playing less minutes, that means that we were successful. Lebron has been in the game for 22 seasons , I think he can play in any scheme, but this 5 out stuff isn't ideal at this point..IMO.

I'm expecting Luka to be bananas this season, but I'm not ready, to somehow elevate Austin and Rui, to being close to the player Lebron still is. Those guys ate off of Lebron and AD. They ate off of Lebron and Luka after the trade.

However I do like Austin, Rui, and Ayton as the new young core. It's step up time, deep playoff run time. I look forward to seeing what happens.

 

Disagree. Second rounders are a regular currency in NBA deals. We currently have one tradable second rounder. That’s not good.

 

Another reason why they might let Grimes go, the Maxey, McCain & Edgecomb combination is a great PG/SG roster for them.

 

Lebron James will never come off the bench.!!!! He’d play in Siberia before he did that.

Some additional pieces of the 7 team'er

 

Curious to see the details on this big deal

 

My money is Beal is a Laker or Heat by EOW.
