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

I’ve heard a lot of mixed things regarding if/when we could send him out in another trade now that this one was made official without any other aggregations. Do you happen to know?

 

agree that lebron slides into cleveland nicely in a way that makes them better than us on paper.

what i don't get is why kuminga--as a 23-year old aspiring to bigger things--would think playing backup forward there for the same money as starting forward in la would make sense.

no. but i think rich is invested in us being bad at this point. he big mad. it's part of why i was surprised sexton was a klutch client. figured he'd turn everyone away. but thiero and bronny are, too...

 

Bronny is headed wherever his dad goes IMO. We might get a 2nd rd pick out of it.

 

i'd have to dig, but my memory says there's like a 24-hour window or something. but that feels fake. if it's official, i think he's here for 60 (90?) days.

the kuminga stuff is possible without him, but i was just hoping it would be cleared up as part of a multi-team trade.

we can easily send him and one of the seconds into space, send the other second and laravia into space, and accept a S&T for kuminga starting at 19 per, though.

note that the kessler trade still isn't announced...

 

washington is an absolutely crazy experiment, lol. i'm here for it.

 

Yeah I have no idea what the hell they are doing. 3y to Middleton when they have George and Coulibaly?

He's a very good vet but a 3y deal is weird

 

I'm surprised we couldn't get Champagnie or Coulibaly for Ayton. They have more wings than you can point a stick at...

PG: Young, Bub, D'Angelo (Probably gone)
SG: George, Tre Johnson, Whitmore
SF: Dybantsa, Champagnie, Will Riley
PF: AD, Coulibaly, Reese
C: Sarr, Ayton, Vuckevic

Just odd team building, they need another Guard, and they've really got 8 guys that can play SF-PF and some of them are playing SG just because.

EDIT: And Middleton now too.

 

Lakers did not want LeBron back even for vet min. They wanted to move on. I am sure they were not happy with his agent last season and the way he acted at one point during the season.
