Dallas sports fandom in a nutshell:

The East will get a lot more interesting at least.
There was absolutely no team in the East that had a title shot this year, aside from the Knicks, obviously.

It looks like Miami gave up a TON to win now lol

Did the Heat just get burned? 🔥

Christian Anderson, the best shooter in the draft, goes to the Hornets at number 18...

Those boys in Charlotte are about to average 130 points per game, lol

Leon Rose trades out two late first-round picks for five second-round picks.

Is he mad or simply a mad genius?

The Knicks will probably lose a few key contributors to free agency this year, so it looks like Rose might try to compensate with some cheap 2nd round pick ups.

He becomes a Timberwolf


At least this'll guarantee Lamelo getting to the playoff stage on a viable contender.

I've been waiting for this, because he just doesn't have the balls to become an alpha dog like Jalen Brunson.
He should fit in nicely with Anthony Edwards; the Timberwolves desperately need a top notch ball handler like Lamelo.

I'm still in awe at how the Knicks managed to win the NBA Finals in five games, having trailed by double digits in every single game.

I don't think we'll ever see something like that for the rest of basketball history.

🏀

The Knicks also lost 3 games in the 2026 playoffs by a combined 6 points..
Incredible.
 
Lebron to the Warriors would be amazing.
Not because of the Warriors lineup per se, but because that would give full control of the Lakers to Luka.

As for Harden, lol
I guess the Cavs are desperate to keep the Mitchell - Harden core intact, despite his almost non-existent defense.

Luka already had control as soon as he landed in LA. This is why LeBron is gonna leave. LeBron isn't a priority to the Lakers.
 
Wow, I wonder where LeBronto will end up playing...

Golden State?
Cleveland?
Miami?

Lol, this is too much drama for an old NBA star. 😆
Drama? The only drama is if he doesn't sign with Cleveland. Not only because it's where he started, but more so because that team is already built to win a title so he gets to chase a ring under the guise of coming home.
 
This NBA off season has been madness so far ....

-Giannis to the Heat
-LeBron to the _______
-LaMelo to the Wolves
-Ja to the Blazers
-Shamet to the Knicks
-Kawhi to the Raptors
-Jalen Brown to the _______
-Neon Noodle to the Kings?

WHAT CAN HAPPEN NEXT?!

Free agency in about half an hour....
 
I feel like the Knicks should have picked up Robbie Avila, as a backup (6' 10") big who can both pass and shoot long range. He would've been a perfect sub for KAT when he gets into foul trouble.

I have no idea on how Cream will fit in with the Lakers.
