i don't see a reason why LeBron would go to Lakers with their current roster. and if they mean to shake it up for LeBron to arrive, Lonzo and a lot of the other guys will get traded for another big star--presumably Kawhi

Rumors that Spurs want nothing to do with Lavar Lonzo Ball, so it's any of Ingram, Randle, and Kuzma if the Lakers trade for Kawhi.

Would that be a team LeBron would want to go to? It wouldn't be much better than the one he's leaving, and in the tougher conference to boot.

This is really impressive by the Thunder, when all signs pointed to him heading home to LA. Especially getting him to commit to a long-term deal.

Paul George has agreed to a four-year, $137M max contract with the Thunder, league source tells ESPN. Deal includes a player option.

Durant is staying with the Warriors; no surprise there, that was all about contract flexibility and a bigger deal down the road. Chris Paul is remaining with the Rockets, and the Nuggets are retaining Nikola Jokic and Will Barton.

With no more Blake Griffin to lock the doors, DeAndre Jordan finally signing with the Mavs for a one year $24m contract.

Lob City is over, so it's no shock that he's leaving. The one year deal is more surprising, though it does give him a chance to walk next year if he sours on the idea of being a part of a rebuilding effort.

Fun Reddit rumors were saying that it's to team up with Kyrie and KD somewhere next offseason

Denver has been in contact with James’ agent, Rich Paul, and has doggedly tried to position the team as James’ best option

The Nuggets know it’s a long shot, but Denver’s ultra aggressive front office wants a shot at selling James on a Jokic/Murray/Barton teammate trio–even if it’s just for one year.

With the 3 part series, PG seemed story have his mind made up already. Glad he committed right away so we can all move on. I could see LeBron still signing in LA with no other superstar and being sold on young talent plus cap space for next year. Magic could possibly sell him on Kawhi next summer

JaVale McGee is heading to the Lakers as well, along with - more surprisingly - Lance Stephenson.

It will definitely be interesting to see LeBron and Lance play together. It could be a match made in heaven or it could be a chemistry killer considering their past grievances.

No Comic Sans from Dan Gilbert this time. I'm a little disappointed.

Ariza took the big money instead of another shot at contending. Biggest surprise so far

Can't blame him, this is probably his last shot at a big payday.
