The Rockets are about to trade Alperen Sengun and multiple first round picks to the Celtics for Jaylen brown. Celtics will completely rebuild around Tatum overnight and Alperen Sengun will be surrounded by elite shooting and spacing for the first time in his career and be supported by a fan base that appreciates him and his talents. The new age Kevin Mchale for Boston is here. #TheProphecy

¡¡¡¡ESTE SI ESTA EN LA LISTA!!!! "El nombre que más revuelo generó entre muchos equipos, en Chicago, fue el de ROBERT WILLIAMS. Ese es el nombre. Te ofrece ese protector del aro, ese jugador que puede hacer alley-oops para Luka Doncic. ¿12 o 13 M? Ese es su rango. Bobby Marks

@ELITEorFED Picks!

@LakerTom Laker fans with unrealistic expectations 😆 🤣 😂 zero reason for the heat to trade him or milwaukee to in a giannis package...unless they trading reaves lakers have all negative assets

KEL'EL WARE VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS! LAKERS CENTER OF THE FUTURE! Kel'el Ware Video Highlights Show he's a rim protector, floor spacer, and elite lob threat. Ware is everything the Lakers need in starting center of the future. He had the 8th most dunks by a center in the entire league last season. He's only 22-years old and projects to be an elite starting center. If he plays 36 minutes as the Lakers' starting center, he could average 18 points, 15 boards (incl 5 offensive), 1.2 steals, and 1.2 blocks while shooting 39.5% from deep of 5 3PA per game. While 3 first round picks would be expensive, the chances of landing their center of the future from one of these picks is remote. Last 3 Lakers first round picks were busts - Knecht with #17, Hood-Schfino with #17, and Jaden McDaniels with #28, whom the Thunder had us pick as we traded the pick for 1-year of Dennis Schroder. youtube.com/watch?v=XgsaFH…

LeBron James is not All-NBA for the first time in 21 seasons, h/t @statmuse End of an era. 🤯

If you're having a baby and want him to have a shot at being an NBA player, it might be smart to name him Jaylin. There are 4 Jalens amoung the 15 All-NBA teams.

Here are the All-NBA point totals from 100 voters via the league office:

2025-26 All-NBA teams: First: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama, Luka Doncic, Cade Cunningham Second: Jaylen Brown, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell Third: Tyrese Maxey, Jamal Murray, Jalen Johnson, Jalen Duren, Chet Holmgren

This is a great post, it is not about some 🐎💩 about LeBron playing for the Wizards.

Baba Miller is flying up draft boards after a great combine. He is a freak athlete that could improve any team's rebounding and transition game. - 9'3" standing reach - 2-way versatility - Switchable on D - Rim pressure - High motor Who needs him most?

Throwback to when the 2020 Lakers beat both the Bucks and Clippers in consecutive games: They cooked the other two best teams in the league during the same weekend 🔥

"Obviously, the Lakers – shoutout to JJ Redick. JJ's a good coach. People are taking his blueprint on how to stop SGA and applying it. Great coaches learn from other coaches. He changed the whole way of guarding OKC. This might hurt OKC going forward and they whole trajectory of being a dynasty. They won a championship, but that way of guarding him might have messed up everything." Jeff Teague crediting JJ Redick for the blueprint to defend SGA sports.yahoo.com/articles/teagu…

The value of those picks should be late first round picks if the Lakers perform well. What are 3 late round first round picks worth? A perfect example is the Lakers last 3 first round picks: 1. 2024 - #17 - Dalton Knecht Wasted great oportunity 2. 2023 - #17 -Jalen Hood-Schfino Wasted great opportunity 3. 2020 - #28 - Jaden McDaniels Pick made by LAL for OKC Traded for Dennis Schroder. Lakers front office got zilch for their last 3 first round picks. Getting your center of the future for 3-first round picks would be an absolute bargain for the Lakers and almost a guaranee better than they would get from 3 first round picks by Pelinka.

@LakerTom Trading 2 1st's for him is an overpay. The 2031 or 32 should be enough considering you don't know what Luka or Lakers look like 6-7 yrs from now and either one of those picks has more value.

Lakers Trade For Modern Center! Heat Get Picks To Pursue Giannis Seeking a young modern two-way center to match the Thunder and Spurs, the Lakers should offer the Heat a package of Dalton Knecht, #25 pick, and their 2031 first round pick for promising young modern center Kel’el Ware. At 7' 0" with a 7' 5" wingspan and 250 lb body, Ware is the perfect modern center the Lakers need. Last season, he averaged 11.1 points, 9.0 rebounds (incl 2.8 offensive), 0.7 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 0.8 steals in just 22.1 mpg. Kel’el checks all the boxes the Lakers desire in a modern starting center. He’s a 3-level scorer who shot 39.5% from deep on 3 attempts and averaged 1.9 stocks per game. He’s now ready for a bigger role and starter minutes. Besides backing up Adebayo, Ware also showed he could successfully share the floor with a second big, spending almost half of his minutes playing with Bam in a twin towers lineup with a net rating better than the team. Ware is the ideal center to anchor the Lakers’ defense and modernize their offense. LA could pair Kel’el Ware with a starter-caliber elite backup center like Robert Williams III, whose injury history limits his minutes played. Trading for Ware would also be a financial coup for the Lakers as Kel’el has 2 years and $12M still left on his rookie deal. Paying just $6M per year for a starting center makes it easier for LA to build an elite roster around Luka. After re-signing their own free agents, including Reaves and James, and trading for Ware, LA should still have over $50M in cap space left to sign a starting small forward and backup center from other team’s free agents. Trading for Ware gives the Lakers their starting center of the future and leaves them with $50M in cap space, 1 first round pick, and 1 second round pick to use for an elite 3&D starting wing plus more defense and shooting. medium.com/p/lakers-trade…
