2026-27 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

I've been saying it for weeks, the Cavs should just renege on whatever promise they gave Harden and bring in Lebron instead. Who cares if Harden gets pissed.

 

They can trade it for vet min status. He's done too. Don't worry.

 

He waited until Bronny's contract was guaranteed lol

I think he didn't have faith that we could give him a proper farewell tour and the focus would be on Luka

 

lebron just wants to have fun in his last season, and that wasn't going to happen on the lakers

playing with curry, draymond, and maybe AD while enjoying his farewell tour is a win-win for him, and i'm sure he'd be willing to take a paycut to do it

 

We'll need to sign some vets too. Bron always controlled the locker room. It helps JJ is very demanding and is a young coach, but we need some players too

 

Keep Rui and Kennard

 

cavs could let wade and ellis walk, trade schroder into space, re-sign harden at a 10m discount and STILL not have even the mle for lebron, lol.

 

Bron, take Bronny with you too

 

So Tatum to Lakers and Brown will stay at Boston is it possible?

 

Definitely sends the fanbase into revolt and Rob on to the chopping block. But for me, I look at the impact Kennard had. Just bringing in a guy who could shoot really impacted everything for us. Similar moves to bolster the defense or rebounding would definitely pay off just as quickly IMO

 

Grant Afseth: The Phoenix Suns have a strong level of interest in Luke Kennard ahead of NBA free agency. Kennard averaged 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists last season, while shooting 47.8% from 3-point range.

thought i read somewhere that phx only had like 6 million to spend.

going to be wild that we let kennard and smart go for a combined 13 million, lol.

plan A a) better work and b) better be spectacular.

 

Agree, this had better work whatever plan Rob has

 

All signs leads to Lakers running it back with a tweak

 

I mean, Marcus and Kennard could be leaking this to see if the Lakers offer them something. Now that they know we have the cap and everything.........

 

Well we won a championship in 2020. So it was worth it with AD.

Rich Paul is a d***. I’m sure he was happy to deliver this news. So f*** him. I’m sure he liked that.

1. Warriors tampering with LeBron Draymond Green. The Klutch thing just allowed that. NBA should do something.

that Draymond opt out was obvious.

2. The Lakers kind of bought this on themselves. Not prioritizing him in free agency with extending his contract. Not prioritizing him this free agency. With Reaves. And then the Center persuit was a slap in the face. No contract offer.

3. The Lakers wanted this and were never going to bring Lebron James back.

4. Trading for Luka trading AD it’s Luka’s team. He’s the guy. Lebron never adjusted to it.

5. Okay Rob your up!!!! Who’s this whale you say you have. I better see Rui resigned I better see Zaire Williams I better see Marvin Bagley. I better see Jalen Duran. You’re doing all this for Walker Kessler.

Laker fans ain’t accepting Lawndale and Dean Wade after this.

yall better have a clear plan. Cause it’s clear LeBron James wasn’t in yours.


And Jeanie Buss didn’t help. He should be grateful.

 

hey the franchise didn’t persue him in free agency. The franchise didn’t prioritize him. That’s not my fault. Let’s not sit up here and act like this franchise wanted him back or made any effort to bring him back.

 

Lebron is a free agent that's not tampering

 

@ramonashelburne
The Lakers are expected to target Jalen Duren, Walker Kessler, Peyton Watson, Mitchell Robinson, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Luke Kennard and Rui Hachimura

 

well, it is, but considering that free agency was largely over last week despite it not opening until this evening means nobody cares.

well he already signed for 14 freaking million per, so we won't have to accept it. what we do have to accept is that centers continue to be insanely expensive.
