Toronto's post championship moves have been somewhat bizarre. Masai got a lot of grace because his big Kawhi gamble paid off but I guess that wore out.

At one point, it seemed like he could do no wrong.

Yeah, if the players want to gamble, they can do it on something else.

Kinda surprised Reaves turned that down. I’m not sure the Lakers go above and beyond given the 2026 FA class.

Especially with money so tight in the NBA because of the CBA.

Have you looked at the free agent crop - He's number 1. Somehow he will get more than that.

Jalen Williams 3yr/24M, Julius 3yr/100M. Its all over the market. But Reaves declines 22M and is expecting something more? Who has the $ to do that?

NBA players that have already made multi-millions. That's who.

I meant what team has the $ to sign AR for more than he's hoping?

Pretty sure he's angling for a larger multiyear deal with LAL as they'll have full Bird rights (at least I think they do).

Yep, probably his agent told him he can get more this way.

 

[Yuma]

ESPN radio said the scuttlebutt on Lebron James picking up his option, is he's making comments about this being his last year on contract and he might not resign if he isn't offered and extension soon. It looks like no one is satisfied with their money in LA as the new owners take over.

The ESPN guys mentioned Clippers, Warriors, and Suns as places LeBron would like to play if he isn't offered an extension. I just thought, here we go again with LeBron rumors.

 

[leclerc]

No thanks to the LeBum circus. Let us bounce back in peace. Maybe pry Bronny away from them.

So the whole series they were gushing about his use of the left hand and the reason he was doing it was his right wrist was injured?

Pretty impressive if true
