Since you said "possible transactions" then it's not officially signed or deal, right?

If so, that can be still considered a rumor. Just hit the Google search with the keyword "NBA trade rumors" or something along those lines.

But for let's say all the teams that officially signed a player this off-season, you can check the summary here:

https://www.nba.com/stats/transactions
https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2023_transactions.html

Well, I believe I wasn't very specific in my question, but yes... I'm looking for both, transactions performed and rumors!!

The official website of NBA, I already knew, but I will access this other link you posted.

Thank you @harizen

Anyone heard about this story though?

They're having a team chat before Game 4, thinking he's going to play against the Celtics. From what I'm told, Ben just left the chat. They asked him "Are you going to play?". Ben left the chat. Like he didn't even answer the question, just left the chat.

KD's like "This is what I signed up for? This is who I'm playing with?"

https://fadeawayworld.net/nba-media/kevin-durant-was-frustrated-with-ben-simmons-after-he-didnt-respond-and-left-nets-group-chat-after-being-asked-if-he-would-play-in-game-4-says-nba-insider

If this is true, then I speculate that KD doesn't want to play with Ben and his antics (but he did with Kyrie Irving saga).

Unprofessionalism at it's highest (if this is true).

This is what the Nets got for James Harden. Many are saying that the Nets won in the Nets-Sixers trade but if this is true, I think that the Sixers won the trade. I mean you exchanged a scorer and a passer to a player who doesn't know how to shoot and very unprofessional. He is capable to play against the Nets but because of injuries, he didn't play and left the chat Cheesy

. I understand the frustration of Durant and even I will be frustrated if I'm in Durant's shoes.

I'm not expecting too much with Simmons anymore though we know that he is an all-star player. The dramas, his shooting problem, his attitude. I'm just hoping that Simmons will develop more skills and will come back next season with some new developments that will cause his bashers to shut their mouth. KD might not want to play with Ben if Kyrie is out with the team but with what is happening, it seems like they will play as one team with the Nets. I hope that the management will do something with these problems of Simmons.

The KD swap is in a stalemate. I don't think we should be too optimistic about Durant being traded any time soon. The Nets want to include a third or fourth team in the trade to facilitate the deal but are trying to slow things down by making tough demands on the star player. I think the point here is to intimidate Durant into withdrawing the trade. However, by doing so it will be impossible to expect a yield from Durant in the season.

I don't think that Durant will be intimidated, he is one of the best player so not seeing him into withdrawing his trade request. And yes, it will include 3-4 teams for this trade to happen, and if they are willing to do so, it will be easily be made.

So this Durant trade will continue to go on, maybe even in the start of the season. We will see how the Nets is going to do and so is the other team.

^^ It could be the last straw that finally nail the coffin for Durant to request a trade, specially if Irving was ship to other team as well. Will continue the drama for Durant and he doesn't like Ben, the way I read it. Nevertheless he has a meeting with the owner a few days ago if I'm not mistaken and maybe this is one point that they have may discussed, how to deal with the continuing Ben Simmons drama that spill over from Sixers to their Nets.

Going back to Cavaliers? Nah, I don't think so. Grin

Cavaliers were absolutely a special team for Lebron. But after he left the team the supporters didn't react very nice to that. I'm not expecting him to go back there from now on to be honest. If he suddenly decides to leave the team then I would like to watch him at one of the biggest candidates of the championship. Because Lebron is still very ambitious and he wants to be the champion still. Lakers can't give this as long as they don't make the necessary changes.

Yeah, I remember that some Cavs fans reacted quite inadequately when LeBron decided to leave the Cavs for the first time, and some of those fans even demonstratively burned LeBron's jerseys. Whatever it was, I also doubt that LeBron has any plans to return to the Cavs. It just doesn't make much sense for him because he's already won the title for the Cavs.

Well he promised to return to the Cavs after his first departure, and he made sure of his promises, came back and win a ring with them. But that's it, after that the goes to the Lakers and won another ring.

I'm thinking about this for quite some time already and TBH, there is a chance that we will see Durant, Irving and Simmons who is coming back to play in one team and that is the Nets and if that happens, maybe they might enter the playoffs again. I mean the 2 all-star is intact and they added Simmons which is a former all-star who is afraid of shooting Cheesy

.

Durant only requested a trade because Irving wanted to be out of Brooklyn so if Irving will stay in Brooklyn, Durant will withdraw the trade thus, they will stay in one team.

I think that would be a good team. Ben Simmons was a monster on defense and gives all sorts of matchup issues bringing the ball up. The only problem is that he doesn't create any space on the floor but KD doesn't really need anyone to create anything for him. Same with Kyrie. I wouldn't mind watching them play with that team, especially if they can pickup Dwight Howard. I think everyone just doesn't want to play with Ben Simmons because they think he isn't a good teammate.

So, I think Lakers is a great destination to wait for his kid to come, his contract will be over, and he will go wherever picks his son and play with him for at least a year.

It depends on the Lakers' status on the draft pick. For sure, there are other teams that want to sign Bronny. Not just because he is Lebron's son but the kid somehow does have a talent at a young age. He has height, and is versatile and agile.

I'm even thinking that if Bronny will be signed by other teams, Lebron might ask to be signed on that team.

Or is it possible to have a special contract just for Broony to be signed with the Lakers? I think that was too much.

Being drafted is still a great part of the process.

The thing is, Westbrooks contract is over at the end of this year if I am not wrong. In that case dude would be 38 or something when next season starts right? In that case we will see Lebron being just a bit away from his son playing, can't say if his son will be any good or not because he missed a lot of last year, but kid would get a contract even if just for his father's name for sure, and he will become a journeyman of sorts as well and when Lebron retires he will make sure to work out with his kid to make him better too, like a personal trainer.

So, I think Lakers is a great destination to wait for his kid to come, his contract will be over, and he will go wherever picks his son and play with him for at least a year.

The source is saying that Lebron is likely to extend with Lakers for two more years soon. I have been wondering if he would leave the team if they don't make the changes he would like to be more successful. For example, they are still keeping Westbrook in the team which is not a thing that I like. But as long as Lebron doesn't get an offer from a much more favorable team it looks like he is staying.

By the way Lebron's main goal now is to play with his son as it is added in the source as well. He wants to play one season with his son and retire after that.

( The source : https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10044509-lebron-james-rumors-all-signs-point-toward-lakers-star-signing-contract-extension )

I thought he is going back to the Cavaliers to play with the young guys there and just say "I'm back" in an Arnold Schwarzenegger style. Cheesy

Maybe after these 2 more years as he is still in a good condition to add another championship for the Lakers.

The Lakers' unwillingness to add drafts and or maybe some players in order to trade Westbrook for Kyrie probably ended the negotiation. Lakers' management is torn between going all in while Lebron is still playing very well but sacrificing future drafts. And Lebron is not getting any younger.

Maybe Lebron is willing to return to Cleveland or play with his son once he is not already a top-level player.

Injuries are a big part of the game, but when you get that back to back to many of your players that way, it really hampers all the development you had. At the very least they know what they have and they can continue to do that. They have Ball at pg, lavine at sg, derozan at sf, those are all amazing players for their positions. Sure it is not as good as Warriors, I do not deny that but at the very least they are doing fine.

I can see them being a finalist contender if they keep it up, east is a weaker conference and most of them have supertars that help them get there, with just one injury they could end up playing at the finals very easily.

I would not say that east is a weaker conference because right now, East is emerging again. The trio in boston are in their prime and an easy championship contender. Not to mention bucks, sixers and miami are really strong contenders too. Bulls are good team but with the competition in the east right now, I do not think they can come on top.

Would he still be even competitive by that time. He will be 40+ after the extension. It is best for him to retire. If he still wants to be involve in basketball, it is better for him to buy a basketball team. He is a billionaire, he can easily do that. And doing that, he can be a real GM too if he wants it.

Quote from: Velvet78 on August 07, 2022, 04:46:30 AM

I would be positive about Lebron's staying at Lakers on the condition that they change Westbrook with a better guard now. For example Irving would be a wonderful teammate for Lebron and there were already some speculations about a probable trade in this way. In case this happens I believe that Lakers would have a much more solid season this time. They were just a big disappointment the last time and the team need to make themselves forgiven by their supporters.

Irving is a double edge sword though. On one side, he is a lethal scorer with elite-level ball handling. He is very skilled and athletic. On the other side, he can be very problematic to handle. Too many personal issues that he lets affect his profession. If Kyrie could control himself and just be a professional basketball player and do not mix drama with career, he is sure a good addition to the Lakers. Otherwise, he is just another headache for the coach and Lebron.

East is weaker huh? The Celtics, Bucks, Sixers, and the Heat still looks stronger even now. I'm not underestimating them but tell me the chances of the Bulls eliminating those teams if every player is fit to play?

I consider them as one of the darkhorse next season. The other is the Hawks with the addition of Dejounte Murray.

East is not weak, actually the east and West are now balance compared to the past, so I'm hoping maybe they will bring back the old format of all star where the East superstars will play against the West superstars.

An interesting article about how no other teams want to help the Brooklyn Nets get a deal done for Durant.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/nba-rumors-rival-teams-are-blocking-a-kevin-durant-trade/ar-AA10nxcZ?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=e987a0c3796540f3e04dcd0db624c9ee

I don't blame them I guess. Owners seem to be pushing back against players trying to call the shots and other franchises have to love the way the KD/Kyrie experiment blew up in the Nets' face. Still, I'd like to see Durant in Phoenix and Kyrie in Los Angeles if for nothing else than I think that is the most entertaining outcome of this offseason. I do think Durant will get traded at some point, but it may take a Black Swan Event during the season.

Kyrie going to the Lakers is likely but Durant going to Phoenix, I think that is unlikely, what would be the deal in order for that to realize? I have no read of the rumors regarding that trade, so I'm a little blank with regards to that information.
