BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Celtics have officially announced a Monday afternoon press conference for president of basketball operations Brad Stevens and new majority owner Bill Chisholm to discuss the Jaylen Brown trade after the league's annual moratorium is lifted and the deal is made official.
Marc Stein@TheSteinLine
The Jaylen Brown-to-Philadelphia trade can't be made official until the leaguewide moratorium is lifted Monday ... which means next week is the soonest we'll hear directly from Brad Stevens about Boston's rationale for making this particular trade, why now, return package, etc.

After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it....
The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement.
Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place.
This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight.
The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside.
Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue.
The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us.
This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.
