I guess the Warriors and the Sixers are just trying to get LeBron's attention to have them on his list when he gets his player option next year. Trading for LeBron this season it's quite impossible for both ends, as the receiving end will probably going to give up to much for a veteran who literally have like 2-3 more years to contribute effectively to the team. But yeah these teams only need to draft Bronny to get LeBron without sacrificing any future picks and important pieces to the team.
Also, I don't know what's the purpose for the 76ers to try and make a trade with the big names. I was actually laughing when people said it's like literally "shooting for the stars" LOL. Anyway, I think they are just trying their too little to nothing chances of luck, because most probably they are not gonna risk too much future picks and young cores as well.

But Lebron James is an old player approaching 40 years old whose career is no longer and Lebron James' contract salary is also high so NBA clubs interested in Lebron James will also think long and hard about recruiting Lebron James. Even though LeBron James' performance is still good and his point scoring productivity is still high with average points, his points per game are still above 30 points.

Yeah, damn it.
My bet was for the Warriors and I thought they were going to win it because they had the lead for almost the entire game. Late 4th quarter the Clippers started to chip away at the lead and then got pretty close until they got the lead. Podiemzki and Curry are both hot and that's why I didn't doubt my bet would win on that game but yes, the 2nd unit of the Clippers was something. Westbrook especially is not giving up on every play, offensive rebounds, putting the ball back in after it, and playing hustle defense.
It's a high-scoring game because of the fast pace but the Warriors still lose in the end even without Kawhi Leonard for the Clippers.

Almost the same happened with the Denver Nuggets versus the Sacramento Kings game.
The Nuggets had 17 point lead as their highest if I remember correctly and all of it was chipped away by the Kings. Nikola Jokic is frustrated because he cannot feel his soft touch shooting the ball. I bet he had a bad morning. I mean look at his stats today, 15 points, 8 assists, and 5 rebounds. That is not the normal Jokic that we see when he spends 39 minutes on the floor.
Sadly, that's their last game before the All-Star. It could've been great if they had the win before a long rest.

It's still surprising although it's not new to both teams.
If you still remember, the Warriors had many games in the past where they had a huge lead but end up losing in the end. And for the Clippers, they also had a lot of games where they are down early and end up getting a win in the 2nd half, specially the fourth quarter. I think now it's the system of the Clippers that made them win. Also, forget to mentioned, their coach was ejected, but they stay calm and able to win. It's really different if you have a winner in the team like Westbrook and Harden, they have been in tough situations before and they really know how to win.



I wasn't able to bet on this game but I had the  Nuggets winning, turns out they wasted their big lead and are now on 3 losing streak.

Right, now we will be in the complete the first half of the season, lots of surprises and teams are bunch again and it's really hard to see who will make it to the playoffs until right after the All-Star break. I thought that the Bulls will go and trade Lavine, but perhaps they are going to wait first and see if they can get a good deal out of him.

And even without Lebron James, the Lakers won against the Jazz. Rui is on a different level right now with the Lakers, as he had a big game again to cover for Lebron missing the game with a big 36 points to help AD's 37 points. Austin Reaves as well being consistent with another 22 point game performance.

Yeah, Bronny's stats don't look impressive at all, and I would even say it looks weak. If he performs this way in the NCAA, he can forget about his career in the NBA because his stats would be even worse in the league. However, I don't rule out that LeBron can bring him to the NBA anyway, but it looks like there's not much sense in it because of Bronny's lack of prospects in the NBA.

That influence though. I guess if that's the only reason he'll get to the NBA, better not be in the NBA as the criticism will only continue while he is playing. If he doesn't have a good statistics, then he will not be in the starting line up. I'm afraid he'll have the same fate with Thanasis who's been continuously criticize for getting a million dollar contract but not really contributing to the team, it's also because of the influence of Giannis.

It looks like Dinwiddie has became their lucky charm, they are looking good right now, their win streak would help them improve their ranking.

Mavs is having a good run, as to the Celtics, it's not surprising anymore but the big changes was really on the Mavs, the new players who are already on the starting line up are making big contributions to this success.

As I see it, Lebron James is committed, and he would not join the Warriors except if the Lakers officials are the ones driving the trade. However, how could the Lakers need to trade Lebron when he is viewed by a larger number of individuals as the GOAT of basketball?

The details of Bronny say everything, he does not merit a draft selection in the NBA. In any case, he will be picked by the teams that also want to take Lebron. Bronny will be the Thannassis Antettounmpo of Lebron James. Anyhow, I think it is more important for the Lakers now to find the next great leader to avoid confusion.

Charlotte Hornets won three in a row in their home games and this is since the trade deadline. Grant Williams and Seth Curry the new additions of the team are playing really well. Hopefully they can continue this momentum until the All-Star break. It is a one week vacation for them before they play the next game.
I think they can secure their fourth straight win since they're only playing the Utah Jazz next game. Utah Jazz have been struggling in their recent games. I don't know why but they're just inconsistent with their performance.

I really don't know what's happening to Utah Jazz right now though, they have a good start early, but now it seems that they are struggling.

@OgNasty - yeah, pretty much the Warriors dynasty is over, there are a lot of rumors swirling around about trades in Golden State. Perhaps Thompson and Green were lucky that the management didn't pull the trigger. I thought that both of this player were going to be traded for obvious reasons.

Maybe next year we will the Warriors taking a reset, and only Steph Curry left in the group.
