Dates that notable players with new teams will be visiting their former teams during the 2018-19 season.

DATE

Carmelo Anthony at OKC   Nov. 8
LeBron James at CLE     Nov. 21
DeAndre Jordan at LAC   Dec. 20
Kawhi Leonard at SA     Jan. 3
Blake Griffin at LAC     Jan. 12
Tony Parker at SA     Jan. 14
DeMar DeRozan at TOR   Feb. 22

Interesting to see how the Cleveland will react to James. The first time he transferred it was really ugly and there are reports that some fans burned James Jersey. But I think Cavs fans will be soft this time, because he was able to bring a trophy (which he promised.) Tony Parker will be embraced by San Antonio and perhaps gives him tribute when he goes back and play on Jan. 14.

He tried his best. Actually I have never seen a player played that much just like Lebron James minutes. It is too exhausting just watching him almost not having a break.

He had a mindset of a champion and yet it is just short and I dont blame the other players of Cleveland too. It is just too hard to reach a certain game like Lebron. He is really on his peak of playing basketball.

I want to see DeRozan ex-team reaction though. He is one of the best in Toronto and now here is what happened.

Yes. DeRozan is also going to be something big when he goes back to Toronto again. Seems that he doesn't like to leave the Raptors but its business and as much as the fans wanted him, the management makes the final decision. He will be appreciated, because he was traded and didn't left like what Lebron in "The Decision", or Durant decisions on moving to GSW.

What do you mean by "when he goes back"?

What I meant is DeRozan going back to play as ex-Toronto Raptors in Scotiabank Arena on Feb. 22.

Oh I see. It's going be nothing but love and respect. It was the managements decision at the end of the day. The fans will show love.

I'm curious if the spurs' fans would have the same love for kawhi when he goes back to sa, since the parting doesn't seem to be that good with a lot of drama involved.

Hhhaha, for sure mate. He went from being the superstar that San Antonio really wanted after Tim's departure, to a prima donna.

@harizen, it was a different case though, the fans understand that he is supposed to be "injured" and he was still in San Antonio uniform that time. And remember that he demanded to be traded Its obvious that his PR team is doing some damage control with this statement:

Im sure that San Antonio Spurs fans are not buttheart. If does, we should see that behaviour last playoffs since even Kawhi Leonard was cleared by his doctor that he is fit to play or even just to watched a single game during playoffs as support, he didn't make it and fans don't have a bitter reaction about that, at least by majority. There are dissapointed fans no doubt about that but not to the point they will take it too far once Kawhi will return at AT&T Center.

Honestly, Jimmy Butler is inconsistent. Period lol.

Jimmy Butler. I thought he is going to be a real star. Correct, his inconsistency might be the reason behind all of the trades that is happening to him.

And to add for that, Timberwolves might getting a good exchanges of players in returned if they trade Jimmy Butler as he is currently an All-Star player. He is good and no doubt a scorer but again he is really inconsistent even during Chicago Bulls days. Good chance now for Twolves to revamped their current squad.

Interesting, those NBA players who granted by NBA to play at Asian games will now faced each other on August 21st.

Jordan Clarkson, Cleveland Cavaliers, Philippines
Zhou Qi, Houston Rockets, China
Ding Yanyuhang, Dallas Mavericks, China

We all know how NBA management works. They have all the data on what is happening with one player. Butler cannot get away from that. If they see big holes in his gameplay then they will do what needs to be done.
T'Wolves is a great team with great players in it and yet they almost fell short into getting the playoffs spot at number 8. Denver almost took that spot.

Jeff Teague
Derrick Rose
Taj Gibson
Jimmy Butler
Jamal Crawford
Karl-Anthony Towns

They got a good 2nd team also.

It would be best to pair Irving into a good forward. If it is Knicks that is eyeing for him then he already have Porzingis there. Just another addition of a big man (forward or small forward) can complete it.

I think they Cavs fans will be softer than the last time that he is on Miami. They have accepted and they knew it already that he will leave Cleveland after the season.

I think what is interesting is how the Raptors fans will respond with DeRozan and the Spurs fans with Leonard.

A lot of happenings today, I think this hasn't been posted.

NBA trade news: Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler exits, Raptors confirm deal, Lakers claim

Interesting to hear that Kyrie Irving doesn't want to sign a extension with the Celtics. He even haven't had the time to show his skills in a Celtics uniform and now his thinking of leaving them? Is he thinking of joining another team that has a star and be a potential super teams? I don't know about Butler's case though, he also turns down a lucrative contract offered to him.

It got me thinking that it he doesn't really wanted to play with Boston, but since he has no choice last year. He want out of Cavaliers and that time Boston has a good offer. He take it, play a few games, need to be sidelined because he got injured. Perfect. Now he is looking for a new team to get a super max contract and make him more money.

Actually he is doing well in Boston, when he was still healthy he was the main man.
However, I believe that Kyrie wants to be the star in a team that plays most minutes, Boston has a different style of play because they want everyone to score.

I guess kyrie is doing all of this to himself. I mean butler might had a problem with timberwolves I wouldn't blame him however kyrie is just a diva apparently. His way of leaving cavs and after that he is pulling this off with celtics ? If you look at the contract deal, he will make more money staying in celtics one more year and signing a new contract next year instead of extension. So, why would he sign now when he can sign next year and make more money ? I hope that is the case, if its not than kyrie will just spiral downwards in his career and be lost and only remembered like jason williams as a person who had handles and magician moves and nothing else. Well that and the 2016 ring because he had a big part in that too.

Is it possible that Kyrie will team up with Lebron James again, I mean they work better together and they are a threat.

Kyrie Irving is known for his attitude of having a "serious" pride. Even there is chances, I will give a 0.55% that LBJ and Irving will teamed up again. Teaming with LBJ again will resulf of a wild criticism for Irving. He did partways to pursue his own goal and reason and so he must pushed it no matter what.

Boston Celtics already have that kind of players and we seen how deadly they are even without Kyrie on the floor, so clearly he does have his own reason for not dealing on a contract extension.
