AD can definitely move to lakers but if that is going to happen that needs to happen with a trade and not during free agency.

The trouble with waiting for him to come is that lebron will be old as hell when AD comes thru free agency, I know lebron is a cyborg and all but he is 34-35 right now, during 2020-2021 season he will be like 37 or so, just let the man drop a bit.

If AD comes during that time lebron still be an amazing player but not the lebron we know, specially if he gets injured. Kobe was playing with 33 points against golden state when he got injured and never was himself again. If lakers wants AD, they need to react quicker and can't stand a chance to wait around.

AD is a talented player but the lakers already have lebron, I am concern about Davis health because he can easily be injured, especially his shoulder.
I think it would be better if the lakers will not build a super team anymore, it will give a big honor for Lebron if he can beat the warriors with the current team.

NBA news: Anthony Davis 'WELCOMED' to the Lakers after making major LeBron James move

Its just a change of Agent which is Rich Paul and that doesnt mean anything.
Besides, Anthony Davis already made up his mind to win a championship at New Orleans. He is that kind of player who have his own goal and do not want to rely to anybody else which is a good thing to him.

His contract expires in two years and he got a player option at 2020-2021 for player option.
Lakers might have already build a better team before that too.

I'm not sure if he can pursue that goal of taking the championship with New Orleans.

That team is still lack of a powerhouse and I don't follow that team since then. If he's that type of player that wants to reach his own goal, he might realize in the future that he needs some back up from powerhouses that he is willing to choose from the league's top choice.

NBA’s Houston Rockets Land Sponsorship Deal with Bitcoin Mining Subsidiary AntPool

Bitmain Sponsors NBA’s Houston Rockets

Bitmain Technologies, the world’s biggest supplier of cryptocurrency mining equipment, is looking to help push its industry into the mainstream through a sponsorship deal with professional U.S. basketball team the Houston Rockets.

According to a September 24 report from the South China Morning Post, AntPool, the bitcoin mining company owned by Bitmain, has pledged to invest $500 million into the Texas economy as part of its U.S. expansion.

AntPool overseas operations manager Haijiao Li said that there was no better way for the company to continue their expansion in the U.S. Li added that the Houston Rockets are the most popular NBA team in China, as Chinese Hall of Famer Yao Ming played for the team.

Anyone thinks that its a good boost for both parties? Perhaps we will see another crypto related stuff sponsoring other sports not just basketball.

Butler is looking for one those three things :

Go to a big market team
Choose a contending team
Get to a team which can offer him max contract

Bucks is neither one of those and in my opinion an awful fit, Jimmy ain't no sharpshooter like Middleton and teams, especially Bucks, need some sort of spacing for Giannis to be able to operate inside (Bledsoe is also not a good three-point shooter).

Then who is good in your opinion.
You keep telling negative points about all our posts here.
So what is the best option for you?

Who will fit in to every team? Who will win the NBA?
You are already sure about the West winning it. What team are you betting for?

Where do you get your basis of all of this kind of stuff you are blathering about?
Maybe we could learn from it.

Bucks could be a great destination for J.Butler for position and what trades could offer. Bucks do not have good picks because they rank usually well and do not posses other teams picks as well however they can offer middleton.

Now, I know middleton is more of a bucks player than jimmy could be but both of them are on their contract year so its a gamble for bucks, if they keep middleton and not get butler than they need to keep middleton for sure, they need to know he will stay. If butler comes and he stays than that is a better deal. So, if bucks think they can keep butler than that is good, if butler goes than middleton is more important.

LOL. He ain't gonna win a ring in New Orleans, not with Mirotic and Moore as his sidekicks. Pels ain't goin' nowhere, especially in the west AKA never winning a championship. PERIOD.

Wrong. He is like all other players who re-sign after their rookie deal with the team that drafted them, just because they can offer the most money. Simple as that.

It means everything. You don't just casually sign with Rich Paul unless you have something in mind. I'm almost 100% sure he will be dealt before his current contract expires.

Just to bring back some memories,

https://www.nba.com/jazz/williams-sloan-put-past-where-it-belongs

I'm sure most of you are aware of a bitter break up between Sloan and Jason Williams several years ago. Williams at that time was the main man in Utah while Sloan is the coach. But there were reports that the 2 didn't get along that causes Sloan to resigned as head coach after being at the helms for many years and Williams being trade off and we all know that its down hill for him after that. Its good though that they have patch things up as Sloan heath is deteriorating, fighting Parkinson's disease now.

Jimmy Butler is acting strange so definitely, Minnesota Timberwolves must get rid of this player right away. Even he is good, Twolves must understand that there is no reason for them to keep this guy as it might just result in unual plays.

If a player wants out, management should not hesitate to release him as this will not bear good output on the team's performance. In Butler's case, front office should make a good deal with other teams interested of his service, get young player with potential and let other teams contend Butler's attitude problem.

Yeah right, management should take players not a liable but a part of the system, if someone who's not adjusting they should kick him out and trade it with someone who's willing to take the part and fill up the position, there's a lots of potential newcomers that they can train and develop good skills.

It think Butler's issues are from his coach.
This guy is like going thru all of the teams in the NBA looking for the appropriate one that suits him.
I guess it is a problem that he had been carrying from the start. It aint the team but him.
He had good team mates and actually they are the right one for his kind of game.

But as I told it was his own issues. Maybe he should make some real statement about why he does this.

As a professional who are fishing for a good contract, I don't think he would openly share his issues on the coach or the team, or whatever
the problem he is dealing right now. Attitude is also one of the most important factors in the NBA and they need to have a good attitude, look at Iverson, he is one of the best player in the NBA but I think he has an attitude problem that's why his career ended early.

Could be. But Iverson didnt dhare that too.
Well, I guess they have something on their contract that stops them from doing it. If breached then they will pay a large amount of money.

I just remembered one video that I watched.
Even small reactions of players have fines. Yeah like doing something with your hand even if it doesnt mean anything.

They are getting stricter now when it comes to players attitude when they are on the basketball floor.
One bad fight could lead to tens of thousands of dollars.

That is because NBA is not really a real sports, it's an entertainment and they are not physical now unlike before to avoid injuries especially the
star players who continuously bring them money because of the NBA Fans. Also, gamblers think sports are rigged because NBA is where amazing happens, you know the rigged games to beat the public and make the sportsbook richer.

Or he can still stay to the league but not as a player but can be a coach or assistant coach or a trainer which mainly focus with shooting.

Just like what happened to Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Steve Kerr and others.

Good idea.
But I would prefer him to be a trainer instead.
Assistant coach or coach which is that huge maybe the first time in NBA. Grin

at 7ft
It is Kevin Mchale who have been the tallest at 6'10. It is just awkward looking up at a coach every time he will tell you something near you. Grin

But I would love to see him more at the American Airlines Center instead of other teams. I do think Mark Cuban could let that happen since Dirk had been faithful with Dallas.

It seems that most of the legends and veterans are still getting a great career after their playing career through those positions. But the decision would still be depending to him.

If ever he has his decision after his retirement its still good to see him in action but outside the court.

It is always really difficult to trade a player who wants out. Other teams know that you are trying to trade that player and they do not offer a great players in return, remember when celtics wanted kyrie ?

They gave an injured defensive liability player with a player whose only upside is its defense on the system they were playing. Look at kawhi, derozan is an amazing player but spurs lost its best player who was a top three player at his prime with the best wing defender at green and only got one derozan with some sidekick with him. When a player wants out, its really close to impossible to get a fair trade deal.

Truth.
It is like a forced trade.
If I am the other team who wants Kawhi I would really give them a hard time too. Since it is Kawhi who wants out then they have not much of an option. Other teams would give them small time players too so maybe it is the best that was offered to them. And that sas DeRozan.
For me Spurs have a good trade there. Not the best though.
Problem is there is not much of a choice.

Your opinion is really correct, now that Butler wants out this might distract the chemistry his team is building.
He knows he is still healthy and more teams will be interested on him, most of the time a healthy player who is playing well just want a good salary
first before fulfilling his passion in basketball.
