Take my word: Maybe, LeBron James will go back to where it all started: “HOME COMING IN CLEVELAND”.
The Cavs. has a championship caliber team, they only lacks “HEART”. And LeBron can see “The Eastern Conference” is a better chance for him to make the NBA Finals, example: Boston and the Bucks will have to rebuild.
I believe, LeBron will be a Cavalier this Season.

Lifelong Pacers fan here – Myles was solid and I’m grateful to have had him with us for a decade, but he’s maybe top 12-15 center in the league? He’ll be missed but he’s easily replaceable and for a better deal/team contract for others. Now keeping Mathurin, Obi Toppin and so on will be MUCH easier. Don’t get me wrong, he was important… But he’s the easiest important piece in our core group of guys to duplicate… Not to mention if anyone digs deep and pays attention… he was always “better than his usual self” the season before contract negotiations lol… No love lost from Indy fans though and congrats Myles!!!! We’ll still miss ya!!! The Buck had to stop here (pun intended).

Mamba Mentality mode for Giannis…
They got myles turner as a Black version of Dirk Nowitzki from Indiana pacers and Damian Lillard waived…

Dame should join Miami

Bad move by Milwakee Bucks! I hope they never win another championship! Kicking a man while he is injured is low! 😢 I hope Damian Lillard finds happiness where ever he chooses to go!

Bucks essentially gave away Dame for a pita gyros. A testament of how criminally underrated Giannis is on the toxic media narrative. Real ones know he is still the best player in the league

I’ve been following the nba for over 30 years and I’m no expert on contracts but i understand enough to know that the so called experts are wrong at least half the time and are really just talking heads. Why was the Mil move not possible??? They weren’t supposed to be able to make moves yet here we are.
The experts say there is no market for JK and yet I saw Tor pay Poetl $109M. If they wanted, Tor could have used that money for JK offer. It just shows what could be possible but is not being thought of because all the so called experts latch on to one opinion and treat as facts and then we see deals that are put together that no so called expert thought possible

This tells me the Bucks did not have confidence in Dame returning from Blood clots. Or perhaps they know more about his health situation than they let on.

Bucks gonna make a move to bring Jrue Holiday back.

I heard from a someone close to one of the lakers players that Giannis told Bron his considering joining & that’s why they didn’t fight for the ring because Giannis wouldn’t join if lakers won and now Giannis is saying he doesn’t know & he didn’t want to diss the organization that took care of him! Smh
