<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-edwards">Anthony Edwards</a> was drafted by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-timberwolves">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> during the 2020 NBA Draft as the No. 1 overall pick. Since he came to the franchise, things have changed for the better. So far, he has played in the 2022 and 2023 playoffs.



Last season was near-perfect for Edwards. He started in 79 games, averaged 36 minutes per game, shot 45.9% from the field, averaged 5.8 rebounds per game, 4.4 assists per game, 1.6 steals per game, 0.7 blocks per game, and scored 24.6 points per game, which was a career high in most of his personal stats.



However, Edwards had a couple of good games during the 2023 NBA playoffs against the eventual NBA champion <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets">Denver Nuggets</a>, where he scored 41 points in Game 2. However, the Timberwolves were eliminated 1-4.



<h2>What fuels Anthony Edwards’ ambition to make the playoffs next season?</h2>



In a recent interview, Edwards said that he is motivated to make it to the 2024 NBA playoffs and that he wants to play the Golden State Warriors. “I want to play the Warriors. Wherever they are, I want to get to them,” he said. When asked why he wants to play against them, he replied, “Because Draymond talks so much trash.”

It appears that Edwards has never liked <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green’s</a> opinions of him. In 2022, Green called Edwards “a little bit of a hothead.” In 2023, Green said that Edwards needed to “be more consistent” and “learn how to win.” He also said that Edwards needs to “stop talking so much trash.”

<h2>Report: Bronny’s Career Could Be Over</h2>



(via The Daily Mail)



“LeBron James is ‘scared and devastated’ following his son Bronny’s cardiac arrest during USC practice, friends have revealed.



LeBron is ‘making sure he gets the best care possible’ and has entered ‘full Dad mode and is protecting his son in any way he can,‘ a source told DailyMail.com.



Cardiologists have warned that Bronny’s career – which was only just beginning following his high school graduation – could already be over.



Dr Christopher Tanayan told DailyMail.com: ‘If they find something that puts him at a high risk for sudden death then that … may make or break his career.’“

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jimmy-butler">Jimmy Butler</a> has been on a tour of China after losing the 2023 NBA Championship to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets">Denver Nuggets</a> in what was his second Finals loss. However, he remains steadfast as a Miami Heat player, and it’s likely that they’ll go just as far next season as they did last.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a> are not the only team that will be considered favorites or contenders for next season. The defending champions, the Denver Nuggets, look solid as a brick wall, and other teams like the Lakers and 76ers are also aspiring to the same.



The loss that the Miami Heat suffered against the Nuggets was painful, but they have a good roster, including Jimmy Butler, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bam-adebayo">Bam Adebayo</a>, and a top-notch bench that plays a key role in winning games.



<h2>Who could win the 2023-2024 NBA Championship according to Jimmy Butler?</h2>



During the end of his recent trip to China, Jimmy ended his tour in Hong Kong where he answered some questions. He said that he believes the Miami Heat will win the NBA Championship next season because they have good defense and depth. “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I gonna pick the Miami Heat to win the 2024 NBA Championship,” he said.

Tracy McGrady is one of those unforgettable names in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a>. He was in the league from 1997 to 2013, and his career was considered to be successful. He played for seven different franchises, including the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-rockets">Houston Rockets</a>, where he played for six years. Harden also spent several years playing for the Rockets.



Although the James Harden situation is not new, it’s worth noting that the same drama was experienced during his time in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets">Brooklyn</a> and Houston. It’s important to listen to the opinion of someone like McGrady, who knows a lot about trades after playing for multiple franchises.



So far, there are rumors surrounding James Harden’s future in Philadelphia. It’s possible that he could be traded to another team at some point in 2023. He hasn’t had the same stability that he had with the Rockets from 2012 to 2021.



<h2>What did Tracy McGrady say about James Harden’s trade request?</h2>



During a recent interview with GQ, Tracy McGrady discussed a variety of topics. One of his answers was related to James Harden. He said, ‘I don’t understand for the life of me what James Harden is doing. He’s demanded a trade away from the reigning MVP! James has probably played with more Hall of Famers than anybody in the league, and he doesn’t have a ring to show for it.’



McGrady pointed out how Harden has wasted the opportunity to win a ring after playing with so many top-notch players. He added, ‘I don’t know what he’s looking for. Maybe there’s some internal stuff going on that we don’t know about. Because it doesn’t make any sense for me to leave the MVP, and the Eastern Conference, where you have a shot to at least play for a championship. It’s got to be something deeper than what we know.’



James Harden has been playing for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a> since 2022 where he has played alongside players like Joel Embiid who is considered one of the best forwards in the league.

Last season seemed to suggest that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a> only need another superstar to win the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> championship. That’s why <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Damian Lillard</a> has become their priority target this offseason.



The timing couldn’t be better, since the guard is also ready to leave the Portland Trail Blazers after many years. The teams have to reach an agreement, but Dame has reportedly made it clear he only wants to join the Heat.



Many were surprised to see Lillard give up on the Blazers, after sticking to them through thick and thin. Gary Payton, however, completely understands Lillard as he felt the same way back in the day.



<h2>Gary Payton supports Damian Lillard’s intention to join the Heat</h2>



“Everybody should chase a championship. Why are we playing basketball? That is the whole object of playing basketball,” Payton told Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel.



“If you want to go somewhere else if you’ve got a chance to win a championship, go there. And that’s what I saw when I came to Miami. So I came here, look what happened.”

Payton, who spent more than a decade with the Seattle SuperSonics, won his first and only ring with Miami in 2006. Dame knows that his championship window won’t last forever, so this could be the perfect moment to join a contender like the Heat.

Rob Pelinka had to endure a lot criticism for a while after making a number of moves that didn’t work out for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a>. But eventually, he was able to change the narrative and now he’s getting praise for his recent decisions.



The executive fixed the roster on time last season, making enough changes at the February trade deadline to save the year. This offseason, Pelinka has made even more moves to get even better results.



Now it looks like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a> finally has a true supporting cast to challenge for another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> championship, and many are giving the GM his flowers. Magic Johnson, for instance, believes Pelinka will be named NBA Executive of the Year Award.



<h2>Magic Johnson believes Lakers GM Rob Pelinka will be the NBA Executive of the Year</h2>



“I think he followed it up with another outstanding job, first from the trade deadline and then he kept it going in the summer. He did better than anybody in the summer,“ Johnson said, via Broderick Turner of the L.A. Times. 



“All the moves he made, he was the No. 1 GM in the NBA this offseason. No question about it. All the guys that we signed will help LeBron and the other guys because now we are deeper. Rob is going to be executive of the year.”

Everything seemed to be more than fine for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> a year ago, since their 2022 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> championship was still fresh in the memory. However, the atmosphere around the team took a huge twist when Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole.



The team never seemed to recover from that incident, as the Dubs went from dominating the league to struggling for consistency throughout the 2022-23. In the end, they were outplayed by LeBron James’ Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals.



In an attempt to turn the page and repair the mood in the locker room, Poole was traded to the Washignton Wizards this offseason. In an apperance on the Real Ones podcast, Curry told Logan Murdock and Raja Bell he’s not sure if the Warriors could have done something differently to fix things last year.



<h2>Stephen Curry suggests Warriors did everything to get through the Green-Poole incident</h2>



“Honestly, I don’t know,” Curry said when asked whether the Warriors could have handled this situation differently, as quoted by ClutchPoints. “I can’t even tell you how many conversations we had, in training camp when the incident happened to the beginning of the season when you’re trying to make sure everybody’s on the same page in terms of expectations on a daily basis of how you deal with personal relationships, how you try to be professional when it comes to the job that we’re all here to do, dealing with some of the uncomfortable nature of the remnants of that situation.



“Cause we always talked about it between JP and Draymond, being able to try to rectify the situation, have the necessary conversations. From a coach, front office standpoint, I’m sure you could argue about should there have been a suspension or not. We had so many conversations and so many kinda back-and-forths in that moment about what the right course of action was, and there were a lot of variable that you have to take into play.”

That fight seemed to take a toll on the Warriors last season, which is why they want to move on now. With Poole and Green no longer on the same team, the front office hopes to have a good environment within the building again.

When the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> traded for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-davis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Davis,</a> they hoped he’d end up being the best player on the team, even ahead of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a>. And while he’s been their most-defining factor, he has left some to be desired.



Davis’ inconsistency and injury-proneness have stood in the way more often than not. And as great a player as he is, that might have also taken somewhat of a toll on his reputation.



Nevertheless, Davis’ impact on the team is so big that it goes way beyond the stat sheet. According to rising <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> star Austin Reaves, his sole presence there allows everybody to gamble and be more aggressive on the defensive end of the floor.



<h2>Austin Reaves’ Explains How Anthony Davis Impacts The Lakers’ Defense</h2>



“He’s obviously a good person to have on your team, especially defensively,” Reaves said on All The Smoke. “I don’t think he gets enough credit for what he does for us as guards.”



“Knowing you have him as a rim protector, you can be more physical, more aggressive, you can kind of shoot passing lanes and know if they get in the paint then it’s going to be tough to get two anyways,” added Reaves. “He’s arguably right behind Bron as the most skilled player I’ve ever seen. Just his height, the way he moves, he can handle the ball, he can shoot it. There’s really nothing he can’t do.”

Austin Reaves reveals Anthony Davis' true impact on the Lakers - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a> saw a lot of potential in Jaylen Brown in the 2016 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> Draft, when they selected him out of UC Berkeley with the third overall pick. Eventually, the team saw him blossom into the superstar it knew he could become.



At 26, Brown is already a two-time NBA All-Star and has helped the Boston Celtics make the 2022 NBA Finals as well as the Conference Finals last season. Therefore, his presence is seen as crucial for the franchise’s long-term success.



Just like Jayson Tatum, we’re talking about a talent Boston has been developing for a while now, so it doesn’t want anyone else to capitalize on his growth. That’s why the Celtics are giving him a record-breaking deal.



<h2>Jaylen Brown’s contract with the Celtics</h2>



According to NBA insider Shams Charania of The Athletic, Jaylen Brown agreed on a five-year, $304 million supermax contract extension with the Boston Celtics ahead of the 2023-24 season.

<h2>How much does Jaylen Brown make a week?</h2>



Bobby Marks of ESPN reports the $304m will be split differently each season. In 2023-24, Jaylen Brown’s annual salary would be $52,368,085, which breaks down as follows: $4,364,007 a month; $1,091,001 a week; $155,857 a day; $6,494 an hour; $108 a minute; and $1.8 a second.

The L<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">os Angeles Lakers</a> knocked on the door of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> Finals last season. Even with a gassed-out <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a>, they still had a chance to beat the Denver Nuggets in all four losses in the Western Conference Finals.



The Lakers didn’t need to make a lot of moves to bolster their roster ahead of the upcoming campaign. Still, GM Rob Pelinka did a solid job of making some minor tweaks to get better.



One of those tweaks was signing former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a> guard Gabe Vincent, a hardnosed defender who can knock down shots from beyond the arc and a guy who’s fresh off a trip to the NBA Finals.



<h2>Gabe Vincent Chooses Gold Medal Over NBA Championship</h2>



The Lakers will be locked in to win a championship next season. However, their latest addition recently stated that he’d rather win a gold medal with Nigeria than the Larry O’Brien trophy:



“For me personally, I have been really looking forward to raising that Larry O’Brien Trophy. But, knowing how much it would mean to the 400 million-plus people in Nigeria, let alone the one point something billion in the continent of Africa,” he said on The Old Man &amp; The Tree. 



“That’s a hard one to pass up, you know getting a gold medal, especially in this sport where you know African teams haven’t had much a footing,” added Vincent. “Not only would it be fulfilling and great in its own way, but I think legacy-wise, it would stand taller, stand a little longer. So, I’m gonna reluctantly have to say gold medal with Nigeria; I think that would just be epic.”

Of course, we need to put things into context, and winning with Nigeria will be an even bigger achievement. But Laker Nation is ruthless, and they’ll spare no chances of getting under the players’ skins if they don’t say and do the right thing every time.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a> is undisputedly one of the greatest players in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> history. He was advertised as the biggest thing since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Jordan</a>, and it’s safe to say that he lived up to that hype.



Even his biggest rivals and haters have no choice but to tip their hats off to him. He’s universally respected among his peers, and some of them even consider him the GOAT of basketball.



Notably, that wasn’t always the case. Back when he was just a rookie with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-cavaliers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> his teammates actually didn’t like him, with former coach Paul Silas stating that it was just a matter of ego.



<h2>LeBron’s Teammates Didn’t Like Him During His Rookie Season</h2>



“Their egos wouldn’t allow it,” Silas said. “I kept telling them, ‘You have a chance to help one of the game’s future stars,’ but they wouldn’t embrace him. If it bothered LeBron, he never let on.”



“We won 35 games that year because of him,” added Silas. “He’s had some outstanding seasons since then, but that first one may have been the most impressive because of how he excelled in spite of the jealousy on his own team.”



Carlos Boozer infamously said that a high school kid wouldn’t be able to make an impact right away in the NBA, but James was no ordinary high school kid, and it didn’t take long before he proved that.

However, things weren’t as easy as he initially thought.



Lillard told the Blazers that he wanted to play for the Miami Heat, and the team made it clear that they’ll only trade him to the team that makes the best offer for his services.



Notably,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> James Harden</a> is going through the very same thing with the Philadelphia 76ers, and he’s been in that situation multiple times in his career. With that in mind, he shared his thoughts on Lillard’s stalemate with the Blazers.



<h2>Harden Talks About Lillard’s Trade Request</h2>



“I see both sides to it because I went through it to where the organization wants to do what’s best for them,” Harden told USA Today. “They don’t want to just give the player that’s basically is one of the best players they’ve ever had in their organization away for nothing or for less than.”



“I get the player side of wanting to play, wanting to be somewhere because it’s the right situation for your family or yourself, whatever that person is going through. I see both sides,” Harden added.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> pays the best salaries in the world, compared to any other league. However, the owners of NBA teams do not have as much money as the owners of soccer teams in Saudi Arabia, where there is also a low-profile pro basketball league.



Saudi Arabia has a soccer league known as the Saudi Professional League, where <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/karim-benzema">Karim Benzema</a>, and other well-known players are playing what would be the last years of their careers, but earning big salaries.



Money is what is attracting NBA players to the Saudi Arabian basketball league. While some players have jokingly expressed interest in playing in the league, many are actually serious about the opportunity. This is especially true after learning how much money Saudi Arabian soccer teams could offer <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> to play in the country.



<h2>Is professional basketball played in Saudi Arabia?</h2>



Yes, professional basketball is played in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Premier League was founded in 1976 and in 2023, there are 12 teams in the league. The league is governed according to FIBA rules. The team with the most titles is Al Ittihad with 16 championships.



The league not only plays the classic 5 vs 5 basketball, but it also has 3X3 teams. However, most of the players are from Saudi Arabia or from countries in the region. So far, no top NBA player has retired playing in the Saudi Premier League.



The league has an official website in Arabic, www.sbl.sa, where they publish content about the teams, players. They also have social media accounts on Instagram and Twitter (@sbl_ksa) and a Facebook page called SBL.KSA.

It’s not a secret that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-mavericks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Mavericks</a> are banking their entire future on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luka Doncic</a>. Team owner Mark Cuban even claimed he told <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyrie-irving" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyrie Irving</a> that this is Luka’s team.



Doncic is a special kind of talent and the kind of player that could lead a team to championship contention almost on his own. But like every great player, he still has things to improve.



Luka often gets gassed out late in games, and it seems like his conditioning has a lot to do with that. That’s why Mavs officials reportedly want him to lose some more weight ahead of the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> season.



<h2>Mavs Officials Want Doncic To Lose Weight</h2>



(via Tim Cato – The Athletic)



“The Mavericks’ key figures have talked to Dončić about decreasing his preferred playing weight this summer. Dončić also stopped having fun for long stretches of the past two seasons, the first time in his life I think that’s ever been true for the sport he’s devoted his life to. 



Those factors, along with his extended summer to rest and recuperate, make me believe we’ll see Dončić more dedicated to the marathon of the NBA season this coming year. I absolutely believe he’ll start next season looking as good as he’s ever been.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-cavaliers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> went all-in to add more talent and firepower to their roster.

Mitchell’s first year with the Cavs was quite encouraging. He was a seamless fit next to Darius Garland, and they had one of the most explosive backcourts in the league.



Nonetheless, reports by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst and Tim Bontemps state that the honeymoon may not last long. Apparently, the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/utah-jazz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Utah Jazz</a> star won’t extend his contract and could be traded soon.



<h2>Donovan Mitchell Could Be Traded</h2>



“I don’t think there’s any chance he signs an extension there ever,” Bontemps said on The Hoops Collective. “And if it was up to me, I would trade Donovan Mitchell today– they’ll get a lot more for him with two summers left than they will with one. Now I also am fully aware that’s not what they’re gonna do, and I understand why.”



“This Fall when Donovan doesn’t extend– I’m sure he’ll get asked about it at Media Day, and I’m sure he’ll have a very good answer &amp; maybe even a hedge answer, &amp; um, that’ll be interesting,” added Windhorst.
