[NBA] Unofficial Discussion Thread

I'm not sure if anyone has asked and although part of the soap opera with Lebron stood out these days, but it was just rumors, he leaves as a free agent or ends his career with the Lakers.
fM: I think he will be a free agent and will review offers...

There is a chance that he will end up wearing a Warriors uniform because rumors have it that he wants to play with Steph Curry before he ends his career hehe.

Yeah, it was weird reading articles about Warriors also reaching out to Lakers for the possibility of uniting the two. I also read that even Draymond talked to their common agent to help out. It's an attractive offer for sure but joining them would likely not add anything to either guy's legacy.

I highly doubt that he will leave at the end of the season to Warriors, I think he will leave to whoever gets Bronny. This could very well be warriors too, who knows. I mean by mock drafts, Bronny looks like an undrafted prospect, if that is true and he goes undrafted, Warriors could offer him a minimum, and Lebron the max, by getting rid of someone else I think. Probably Draymond? Is his contract getting close to over? All in all I still think that some other team is a possibility. Lakers will not be trading him now, not much time left anyway, so we need to wait until the season is over, and the draft happens, we can only see where he goes after that.

and...! NBA ALL Star Game:
West All-Stars,  +/- : @1.6
East All-Stars, +/-: @2

I think those from the east are going to win without much trouble, we are in a weekend of dunks, fun games, and Lebron James reaching another record.

Maybe, but it will cost a lot of players for the Warriors and it might not have enough time for Lebron to win another ring. But I applaud the Warriors though, they are really aggressive as per the news on recruiting Lebron James.

Perhaps it steamed on how they got KD and they won back to back. But the big 3 is still in their primes during that time. And it has something to do with Bronny as well, Lebron is just waiting for his son to join the NBA and so he might stay with the Lakers for now.

Anyone excited with the All Star Weekend? Slam Dunk and 3 Points?

Klay, Wiggins, and maybe one draft pick yo get Lakers to agree. As for Bronny, it doesn't look like he's good enough. If not for the father's achievements, teams would probably snub him.

I' m not betting that's why I'd rather watch some highlights or full replay if it's good. It's been disappointing the last couple of years.

Lebron wants to makes history once again, father and son playing together in one team hehe. Per mock draft, Bronny did not make it but with his father influencing the Laker's front office, he will the Laker's uniform next season.

TBH, i'm not excited with the AllStar's circus anymore, seems like they are doing the warm-ups with no defense at all.

The chances of him going to the Warriors will go up significantly if the Warriors will draft Bronny. Aside from that, I don't see him going to the Lakers.
He also teased the Knicks fans by using the Knicks towel instead of a Lakers towel, but the Knicks management has no interest in getting him... at least for now.

I just watched a video a few hours ago on players the Warriors can get next season, and these players are PG13, Giannis, and KD. Of the three, Giannis, and KD have the highest chances of leaving the team, especially Giannis if the Bucks do not win this season. KD on the other hand showed frustration on his team because of injuries. As for Lebron, he has a player option next season so he can just pick whatever he wants to do. I mean he will not be called Le-GM for no reason right?

I guess the safest prediction to do with regards to which team Lebron will be next season is that, whoever team drafts Bronny (if he will get drafted), that's the team where Le-GM will be playing.

Steph Curry winning over Sabrina in the 3 point contest between them.

Dame back to back champion in the 3 point shoot out.

Slam Dunk? Damn those judges, they really trying to get Jalen Brown to win, Lol,  . So I guess slam dunk is dead already unless we see another Aaron Gordon vs Zach Lavine performance.

When you see a participant dunk over a short guy (and sitting), you might as well consider it dead Kai seems popular among the younger generations and that's why Jalen had to do it for the viewership. The problem is that the quality of the contest was ruined. That should have been an intermission and not part of the contest. Just laughable.

Lol, but yes, what's Jaylen Brown is thinking?

I think the viewership was more on the Steph vs Sabrina, first time that we have seen it so everyone is curious about it. The next time though for Slam Dunk, they should get like ANT and other high flyers in the game.

A healthy Ja Morant? Wow, I'm seeing him pulling great dunks for us. But we will never know if they don't want to join this contest.

Yep) That moment looked ridiculous, and the slam dunk contest wasn't very interesting. I don't even remember a moment like that at any of the previous slam dunk contests. Brown is probably the first player who got booed by the crowd for his dunk, and that crowd reaction clearly showed how bad that slam dunk contest was.

Nah, I don't see that happening even if healthy unless Adam Silver orders all NBA teams to send their best dunker/s. Ja probably wants to join but the Grizz board doesn't want to take risk of potential injury. Seeing how the all-star went (East vs. West), I expect the overall quality of the events to go down further.

The Slam Dunk Contest is what they call  "The Cream of the crop" because many are waiting for it, but within that night, for me, it isn't. A 3-point contest is way entertaining to watch especially that final shot of Damian Lillard. You can see the face of Trae Young while missing, but a person covered him when the final shot went in so we didn't see his face after that.

I will not be surprised if there will be a 2-on-2 3-point shootout next year. I mean the best 3-point shooters in WNBA Vs. Best shooters in NBA. That would be awesome, and that would give more exposure to WNBA as well. As for the Dunk Contest, I will always agree with what Stephen A. Smith said regarding the change of this one. Pick up the best dunkers in America, and let them compete in the all-star weekend. I mean that would be more entertaining than watching these NBA players doing the same dunks over and over again.

Overall, the event is a "MEH!!" for me. Good thing that I didn't watch especially the all-star game.
