@_HoopsNation @mcten He is going to Miami, confirmed.

🚨👀 An Eastern Conference team is reportedly emerging in the LeBron James sweepstakes. 🗣️ “In the conversations that I’ve had in the last 24 hours, it seems like an Eastern Conference team will win the LeBron James sweepstakes.” — @mcten 🍿🍿🍿 If that’s true… 🍷 Cavaliers? 🔔 76ers? 🔥 Heat? 🧙 Wizards? The wait may finally be coming to an end. 👑⏳ Which Eastern Conference team do you think lands LeBron? 🤔👇

The deal is done. LeBron James is officially a member of the Miami Heat. News will be dropping shortly via Shams. Pat Riley landed his 2nd plane.

@Grumsi24 I’d only add Tiero IF we are trading for Watson.

I'm starting to think that LAL will have to add Adou for the Kuminga trade! Lakers get: Kuminga (3year/48M) Atlanta get: Vanderbilt and Thiero + 2032 1st pick swap

@JrTabansi Veteran minimum that won’t win the championship.

Lebron James just can’t help but be a drama queen! All of this for a player on veteran minimum! #nba #lebron #lebronjames #espn #basketball

@esidery @TheAthletic “We are going to play you a lot to hopefully get rid of you faster”.

The Spurs will be forced to play Dylan Harper as their sixth man next season to increase De’Aaron Fox’s league-wide value, per @TheAthletic (nytimes.com/athletic/74511…). After Fox struggled during San Antonio’s NBA Finals run, he now holds negative trade value on his max contract.

@masterkidgo Nuggets

Potential Trade Proposal 🍿👀🍿👀 WHO SAY NO ? DEN receive: • Jake LaRavia • Jarred Vanderbilt • 2032 first-round pick swap • 2031 second-round pick swap • 2032 second-round pick swap • 2033 second-round pick swap • Cash Consideration LAL receive: • Peyton Watson

Summer League Record Alert 🚨

@ShamsCharania @ESPNNBA Klutch 👀

The NBA is probing the signed $64 million free-agent deal for Gary Trent Jr. with the Milwaukee Bucks, per a league spokesperson.

@el_budget One more year wasted of Cade’s career…

He has no leverage here. He is going to be catching lobs from Cade for at least one more year

@LakersLegacyPod I don’t think is financially feasible unless he signs for way less than 30mill for the first year, right?

TWIN TOWERS LINEUP!!! 🤯🙌🏼😮‍💨 Pelinka, you sick mfer.

@Rjeff24 2019 - Missed the playoffs 2020 - Won NBA Championship 2021 - Lost in the Western Conference First Round (to the Phoenix Suns) 2022 - Missed the playoffs 2023 - Lost in the Western Conference Finals (to the Denver Nuggets) 2024 - Lost in the Western Conference First Round (to the Denver Nuggets) 2025 - Lost in the Western Conference First Round (to the Minnesota Timberwolves) 2026 - Lost in the Western Conference Semifinals (to the Oklahoma City Thunder)

Richard Jefferson on Lakers fans celebrating LeBron leaving: “I’m f**king glad he’s gone, and I promise you LA, you’re in for an interesting 5 f**king years” (via @RoadTrippinShow, @FanaticsBook)

@C_A_R_L_A_M_A_R Nobody cares. We are still going to rooting for our team. #Lakerforlife

No team has ever improved the season after losing LeBron James. Lakers playing a dangerous game.

@BrettSiegelNBA @ClutchPoints That’s a future asset for the Spurs. They don’t need him to be competitive next year.

Jayden Quaintance will miss the start of the 2026-27 NBA season and the early expectation from the Spurs is that he won't be ready to return until some point in 2027, sources told @ClutchPoints. It's hard to pinpoint an exact return timeline, but he is sidelined indefinitely.

@Fullcourtpass @JonKrawczynski Of course not! The center position is currently the most coveted and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future, at least as long as Wemby is in the league. 👽

The Celtics shopped Jaylen Brown to the Timberwolves and wanted the following trade package for him, per @JonKrawczynski - Rudy Gobert - Future draft capital Minnesota was NOT interested

@Hero_OfThe_Day I wouldn’t include Suder in that list.

The Lakers have some decisions to make. Players who’ve stood-out in Summer League: - Cameron Carr - Arthur Kaluma - Adou Thiero - Peter Suder - Chris Manon A few others have looked good, as well. It’s a good problem to have.

Kaluma, OMG!! 👀 #lakers

@PlayoffDude Yep, you can see the effort he is putting on that end of the floor. And what about Mañon? He is a monster on defense!! and his three point shot is starting to fall. I can see him and Carr as part of the team from day one.

Carr always makes up for a missed shot by locking in on defense.

@TheDunkCentral @TheSteinLine @JakeLFischer Worst franchise ever! #pelicans

The Pelicans made it a priority to outbid other teams for DeAndre Jordan, per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer “Sources with knowledge of New Orleans’ thinking say that the Pelicans re-signed DeAndre Jordan to a two-year deal rather than a mere one-year minimum contract because they were convinced that Jordan had one-year interest elsewhere that he was prepared to accept and did not want to lose the 37-year-old's locker room influence.” (Via marcstein.substack.com/p/late-night-n…)

@TripleR00000 No, he is going to Minnesota. This is how the story of his career should end (where it all began). And it’s the easiest path to the Finals for him. Save this tweet!

LeBron is going to end up on either the Heat, Timberwolves, or 76ers. I GUARANTEE IT.

@PurpGoldLakers In a nutshell: made the team better suited to compete with the stronger teams in the conferences.

Rob Pelinka flipped this team inside and out and made it stronger, younger, more athletic, better on both ends, and locked in around Luka. Sit back and watch.
