Kyrie Irving demands trade again! Most likely to the Lakers.

I heard about it too.
The Lakers would surely get stronger with him. Westbrook also joined the lineup and became a good additional person, if Irivng also does this and becomes a good team player, I think the Lakers would immediately advance from a "Play-In" team to a Conference Finals contender.

James is only 36 points short of the record, which he can easily achieve in the next game against the Thunder. 🤞

Chances are if Irving goes to Lakers, they would trade away Westbrook. IMO Lakers just don't have the depth to be a finals contender whether Irving is there or not. It seems half the time it's either Davis out or James out, and it just doesn't seem to work for them.

How about Irving to Mavericks instead?

The Mavs version also sounds good , although Doncic plays such a dominant role there that Irving should take it back a bit, but it would take a lot of the burden off Doncic's back and they would already become two very strong option teams, which is not bad.

Looks like Dallas it is

You were right, he chose Dallas .
With this, Dallas can take a big step forward if the chemistry between Doncic and Irving works.
I'm really looking forward to their first match together.

WOW! LeBron James breaks the NBA all-time scoring record!

​

LeBron well done sorry the team lost in the end

 

[ADRI7HO]

James made the record 🙏, it was fantastic, it's a shame they didn't win.

 

[JohnnyC4ge]

Terrible loose indeed !.. great achievement for LeBron 🏵️ ofc , but now OKC has 26-28 record vs 25-30 for the Lakers, typically the can of match unloosable , I'm a bit worried for Lakers future in PO this year too..

 

[VictorOd]

Remarkable achievement. For me LeBron in't GOAT. He was so happy and proud. MJ or even Kobe would not lost the match in that place in similar situation.
So many crazy trades happened today. Durant joined Suns, Westbrook was traded to Jazz but he's buying out to join... Clippers probably.

In addition, the Suns were able to make this deal by keeping Booker, Paul and Ayton in the team, so with the arrival of Durant, they became an even more serious team.

Kyrie played great and helped to defeat Clippers and Kings without Luca, wow.
Also finally we gave up on Wiseman and GP II is back to my Warriors! I hope to watch Lakers - GSW tomorrow.

 

[puzzlefish]

I'm really waiting to see Luka playing together with Kyrie. I thought maybe Friday but not yet.

I think Durant isn't going to fit well with the Suns. He'll score points like always but I don't see this trade bringing the Suns to a championship.

 

[VictorOd]

Warriors lost to Lakers at home. Wiggins and Klay played bad.
Luka and Kyrie lost to Sacramento Kings in a spectacular epic match. Probably they played again together after that, I don't know yet.

 

[ADRI7HO]

I see fantasy in the joint game of Irving and Doncic, they just need to polish up a little more and this duo will be good.

Celtics , Bucks or Clippers
for Champion

Feels like it may be the Celtics's year. But we will see how the Suns play with Durant first.

There may be several teams among the contenders for the championship title, in 1 month it will be clear who came out well from the trades.
The Lakers also came out of the exchanges well and more quality people were added to the exchange line, and I would also give the Doncic Irving pair a chance to find a common voice.

The All-Star weekend has begun, in the first event Team Pau wins Jordan Rising Stars, Jose Alvarado named MVP. I only saw a summary of it, it must have been pretty good.
The other skill events are coming today, and the main match is tomorrow.

 

[ADRI7HO]

The bagging competition was one of the best in recent years.
Mac McClung deserved to win.
The All-Star game was also quite good (despite the usual lack of contact), I liked the draft at the beginning.

2nd Half of the season. Let's Go!

 

[ADRI7HO]

I will be curious to see which team was benefited by this short break and which team may have been disturbed by this.
The continuation comes from Thursday.

 

[VictorOd]

I had an opportunity to finish watching an All-Star weekend today. It was not great, kind of boring. Congrats to Lillard, McClung, Tatum, Giannis.
No defense (except Tatum vs Brown) during the main event. At least real normal games continues this night.

 

[ADRI7HO]

At Atlanta, they are not really finding themselves right now, so I think Cleveland is the favorite today, even if the odds don't say so .
