Shockingly, Lebron seems to be dragging this thing out while, simultaneously, pumping out PR about where he might go.  Currently headlining the ESPN webpage.  Shams positing about voice notes from teams last night.

He's turning it into "The Decision 2.0"

It's like 4.0 at this point, isn't it?

At least 3.0.  Going to the Lakers always felt predetermined to me.

It's more than likely all been predetermined, just not disclosed!

For sure.  It's all for the spotlight.

After spending a full season with the Brooklyn Nets, the former Denver Nuggets sharpshooter Michael Porter Jr. could find himself on the move once again.

According to Brooklyn Nets insider Brian Lewis for the New York Post, a lack of an extension for Porter Jr. could lead to a trade sooner rather than later. "There's either an extension or a trade," Lewis said on the Locked On Nets podcast.

Jake Fischer: There has been word this morning in Las Vegas that Victor Wembanyama is considering signing less than his maximum rookie scale extension to provide San Antonio greater financial flexibility. Victor Wembanyama: Spurs family, I?m here to stay. Whatever it takes🖤

Paul Pierce says if LeBron James goes to the Sixers it takes him totally out the GOAT debate: "No player that we consider that's been in a GOAT debate has been a fourth option. No, seriously. Like Jordan, even when he went to the Wizards, was still the first option. Kareem was second option. Worh Magic. Like when we start having these debates about the GOAT and we say, we?ll, you know, Philly won a championship, but he was fourth option. He has five rings but fourth and fifth option, like so it?ll do something to his legacy. I really believe that."

Kareem was the 4th option his final 2 years. Magic, Worthy, B Scott were all around 20ppg. Kareem was 15ppg and then 10ppg his final two years. AC Green had 13ppg to make Kareem the 5th leading scorer in Kareem's last season.

I guess Bill Russell is not included in this GOAT discussion. He was 7th in scoring on his own team his final year. Before that, 4th in scoring in 1968, then 5th in 1967, 4th again in 1966. 3rd in 1965. 4th in 1964. Back to 3rd in 1963. 2nd in scoring in 1962 although 1st in the playoffs. Back in 1958, he was 4th in regular season and 5th in playoffs. 4th in his rookie year in 1957.

Yossi Gozlan: The Nets are now down to $11.75 million in cap space after officially trading Nic Claxton and Isaiah Evans for Julius Randle and Joshua Jefferson.

Does anyone have cap space at this point?

Peyton Watson's market looks like it has disappeared. He will need a S+T or a friendly Nuggets offer at this point. The Clippers say DEN is asking for too much in a S+T so that route looks unlikely too.

Shams Charania: Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro got into a physical altercation in Las Vegas on Friday in which Adebayo struck Herro, sources tell ESPN.

Shams Charania: The altercation occurred at a practice court in a Las Vegas hotel this morning, sources said -- starting when Adebayo approached Herro about comments the guard made critiquing the center on social media after their seven-year run in Miami ended.

Some fan released private messages he exchanged with Tyler Herro where Herro said some things. Not sure what. It wasn't meant to be public but the other guy released them.

Something about their "$60mil player" not being able to be a 1st option. Stuff like that.

There also was a post a week ago which showed Giannis as the worst midrange shooter in the league and Bam as the 10th worst.
