Time for a change?

Whoa. Who will give him a max deal?

Wizards star Trae Young plans to decline his $48.97 million player option for the 2026?27 season to become a FA on Monday, sources. Washington remains the front runner for the four-time NBA All-Star as he loves the team and DC, but he still expects multiple team max interest.

Max interest could mean he is the top target for multiple teams (they have maximum interest) rather than they are interested in giving him the maximum.  Especially likely given it is agent-speak.

The Giannis Antetokounmpo trade saga could drag out past free agency and into July, per

"I do still believe he will be moved this offseason but I?m not as certain as I was before that it?d be done before the draft"

Yeah no thanks. I'm not doing another version of waiting for AJ Brown for extended weeks/months now.

Didn?t the Bucks owner say he wanted this revolved by the Draft, which is on Tuesday.

Yes. There have been reports that they are wavering on that though. That they don't have the trade offer they want yet and might extend this into July.

So they may keep that previous deadline or they may not.

Fans may be split on whether trading Brown for Antetokounmpo is actually the right move, but former Celtics forward Marcus Morris thinks it is the right move.

"I think Jaylen Brown needs his own team," Morris said on "First Take" on Thursday. "I think it's about time. I love the combination of him and Jayson Tatum. I was there. I watched him grow up. I played two years with him. I think it's time that Jaylen Brown goes and gets his own team, and establishes himself as a superstar and gets to the role that he wants to be in. I think this is a great trade for both teams because Giannis and Tatum are complementary of each other."

Obvious the Bucks don't want the Heat offer. If they did this would be over a long time ago.

I?m definitely on board with the trade ideas I?ve seen that land Giannis for Brown.  I don?t have a strong feeling one way the other as to the likelihood of it happening. Feels a bit less than 50-50. Of course my *feels* are also less than 50-50 (far less).
