NBA: *** 2025-26 NBA Thread ***

So….does this mean the Clippers are going to get away with using fake sponsorship deals to bypass the salary cap? Cause now if the league wants to punish Leonard, it’ll be Toronto that loses out?

No, I think the Clippers fall hard here.

That is an awful return for Boston. A terrible contract and some lousy firsts. They must have just wanted him out of the building.

I really thought Denver was going to make a run at Brown. Murray plus Cam Johnson’s expiring for Brown and another bench player for contact purposes. That would seem like a better deal than what Philly offered.

And sending him to Philly as well??

I'll be shocked if it's not Cleveland or Golden State. I could see Miami but I don't think he fits with Giannis.

Personally I think best fits would be Nuggets or San Antonio

I think he can fit with about anyone at this point. Be interesting to see

Money is a big limiting factor. Not every team has the cap space and it doesn’t sound like LeBron is interested taking less than the max.

That’s not true at all. All the reporting around LeBron right now is that money is not a factor at all, he’ll play wherever he feels like it’ll be the best fit for him personally. Hes not getting a max anywhere

Really? I hadn’t heard that. I can’t imagine any teams willing to go that far over the second apron for him.

He asked for the max from the Lakers. I guess that could have been posturing to get out of LA. But we’ll see just how much he’s willing to leave on the table to play for a championship contender. Cause for some of the teams discussed, he’d need to take a really small contract or owners will have to be willing to write a big check for being into the second apron.
