Sure, the pick doesn’t mean much bc it’s an unknown but giving up assets for Lebron is the major issue. If he came to CLE in FA and lowered his asking price that is one thing but giving up players and picks is tough

Saw this morning that Garland (back) & LeVert (foot) aren't playing tonight.

Easier said than done with a no trade claus
They aren't trading him.

But, who has a NTC?

Not Lebron.


While fans can’t see it now, the Lakers may have played their cards right by not giving LeBron James a No-Trade Clause (NTC). There’s no need for them to end up like the New York Knicks and Carmelo Anthony. If James was five years younger than maybe attaching a NTC would have made sense but even he has to know his career is coming to a close.

Jokic has more help? You gotta explain. The Nuggets 2nd best player J. Murray hasn't played a game all season. And their 3rd best player MPJ has only played about 10 games. How does Jokic have more help this season?

Similar help then? Philly's 2nd best player just got to town (last one didn't play a minute). Center plus role players largely due to injuries for Denver (which I don't think I've even seen play this year).

Not the same at all. Simmons refused to play for the 76ers.

With the Nuggets their 2nd best player J. Murray is still injured & their 3rd best player MPJ only played about 10 games due to more back problems.

Agree re: not giving Lebron an NTC. It's part of why Lebron isn't dealing from a position of strength. The Lakers can basically do what they want with him and trade him to whoever they want. His only real bargaining chip would be to retire if they try to send him somewhere he doesn't want to go.

And yeah, he knows his career is just about done. That's why he's talking about playing his last year with Bronny. But even at that, Bronny is at least 2 years away from the NBA and that's assuming he improves enough to be a one and doner is college, which doesn't look likely right now.

Been a long time since I've been able to say this. So, it feels good to.dust it off.

it's Kobe's fault!!!!!!!


Adrian Wojnarowski: “Kobe used Team USA [to play mind games]…Kobe would tell Westbrook, ‘Why do you keep letting KD win the scoring title? You should be winning the scoring title.'” “He would get that in Westbrook’s head, to try to send him back to Oklahoma City to create friction.” As he’s telling this story, both Woj and guest have a good chuckle.
Oh my gosh, some things are just better off unknown

Yeah LeVert is day to day but Garland still has the back issue and I dont think it is going away anytime soon
