Even if he’s not on the team anymore, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a> continues to be tied to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a>, especially after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a> went into more detail about the punch.



Reports cited that Poole had gotten on the veterans’ nerves way too often, being immature and disrespectful and not handling himself properly. Even so, Green crossed the line.



That’s why former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> player Eddie Johnson called out the organization as a whole, citing that they failed in the way they dealt with the situation because Poole wasn’t even an adult.



<h2>Eddie Johnson Calls Out Warriors Over Jordan Poole Fiasco</h2>



“He says Jordan Poole is not an adult, then you failed, Steph failed, Klay failed, Steve Kerr failed. Because he’s a young player, it’s a way to approach them. Now Jordan Poole is not an adult; it was on your watch, Draymond,” Johnson said. 



“You didn’t know how to go help him mature. So don’t throw him under the bus because he’s still a young player. It’s just bad leadership,” the former player continued.

He’s got a valid point about that, and that wasn’t a good look for the organization as a whole. Then again, the fact that they decided to move on from him also speaks volumes about how much they valued him — or not, and it’s not like Poole is a child, either.

<h2>History of Dennis Rodman and Trinity Rodman</h2>



Trinity Rodman’s mother is Michelle Moyer, a former model and actress, who married the former Chicago Bull in 1999. The couple divorced in 2004, and according to the LA Times, Dennis kept his children “at a financial and emotional distance” and Trinity and her brother DJ didn’t get to know him.



The 7-time NBA rebounding champion did make a freak appearance during a 2021 Washington Spirit playoff game, where he hugged his estranged daughter, later Trinity noted, “My dad doesn’t play a big role in my life at all, and most people don’t know that we don’t see eye to eye on many things,” on Instagram.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> never bought<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> LeBron James’</a> bluff. They knew — just like everybody else — that he didn’t want to retire. Maybe, he was just exhausted — or driving attention away from the sweep — after the loss to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Nuggets.</a>



James announced the obvious by confirming that he was coming back, stating that he would only retire when he felt like he’s cheating the game, whatever that meant.



However, it might be a long while before that. According to Lakers coach Darvin Ham, the soon-to-be 39 years old could play in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> for many more years and retire when he’s 50.



<h2>Darvin Ham Says LeBron Could Play Until He’s 50 Years Old</h2>



“At this age, what he is doing is unprecedented. Hopefully, he has a few more years to come, but if there is anybody that can do it, he can play until he is probably 50,” Ham said, as quoted by Lakers Nation. 



“Just the way he takes care of himself, his nutrition, his sleep habits, the regimen, everything he does pre-work, during the work, post-work, his regimen, everything he does to make himself not just available, but elite,” the coach added.

Of course, there’s simply no way that LeBron plays until he’s 50, as he’s unlikely to embrace that bottom-of-the-bench kind of role, not to mention the mental and emotional toll such a long career could have on him. Still, from a physical standpoint, he might as well give it a try.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">James Harden</a> does what James Harden wants. He’s not a team-friendly kind of guy, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-rockets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Houston Rockets</a>, Brooklyn Nets, and now <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a> are learning that the hard way.



He wants to get paid a lot of money while also getting to choose where he plays. That’s not the way it works when you’re under contract, but that has never stopped him in the past.



Recently, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reported that Harden could take the next step in his plan to leave the Sixers. He intends to attend training camp before the start of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> season, but not exactly to help.



<h2>James Harden Will Report To Training Camp</h2>



“If this saga does drag out through September and until media day on Oct. 2, Harden is expected at this point to report to training camp, according to league sources,” Fischer wrote. “You can cause far more headaches for the organization you’re trying to leave by showing up, as opposed to staying home.” 



“With both the Rockets and Nets, Harden made various trips away from the team for various nightlife activities,” added Fischer. “He made Brooklyn feel it had no other option but to trade him to the Sixers before the 2022 trade deadline, or risk losing him for nothing. With Philadelphia, Harden’s side is very much of the belief joining the Clippers is not a matter of if, but when.”

One of the many concerns the fans and analysts had about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a> joining the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> was the fact that, a couple of years ago,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Draymond Green</a> literally went on record saying that he didn’t like him.



Green is a fierce competitor and the ultimate trash-talker, and we’ve already seen what happens when he doesn’t get along with one of his teammates — just ask Jordan Poole.



And given Paul’s nature, it’s more than evident that he won’t back down from any confrontation either. However, as much as he still doesn’t like him, the four-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>champion is looking forward to playing together as professionals.



<h2>Draymond Green Wants To Talk To Chris Paul</h2>



“Everyone’s like, ‘How are they supposed to be teammates now?’ And I’ll tell you how,” Green started on Patrick Beverley’s podcast. “No. 1, I’ve never been in the situation really to build a relationship with him. I’m an adult, Chris is an adult. Like, we can talk amongst men. And that, I look forward to. There’s no sugarcoating what’s happened all these years. This is real life. Like, people get it twisted. Like, oh man, you’re in character. No, this is real life we’re living when we’re playing in these games.”



“So to just go front and act like all those things were fake—like I publicly said I didn’t like Chris before,” continued Green. “I’m not going to just be like, ‘Oh, man, that changed now that he’s my teammate.’ No. I look forward to talking amongst men. I look forward to working with another adult. I’ve had my fair share of days of not working with adults, and people who don’t move like adults. So I’m looking forward to going to work with an adult. Do you know what I’m saying? Chris is a pro. I’m looking forward to going to work with a pro. He’s super smart and he’s shown to be a great leader.”

Chris Paul is ready for his new challenge. Last season, the&nbsp;Warriors&nbsp;were missing something after they were eliminated by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lakers</a>&nbsp;in the playoffs. It was a massive blow for a legendary group of veterans like&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a>, Klay Thompson and&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>. Head coach Steve Kerr knew it as well. 



“To be fair, I think this team ultimately maxed out. We were barely in the playoff picture most of this year.&nbsp;This is not a championship team. We did a pretty good job of finding something here over the last month. We came close to recapturing what we had, but we didn’t quite get there. We didn’t feel like a championship team all year, but we had the guts and the fortitude to believe.”

One of them was a contract extension for&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a>&nbsp;and a blockbuster trade to acquire Paul. However, there’s a long history between those two.



<h2>Draymond Green’s special message for Chris Paul</h2>



In 2020, Draymond Green made headlines after this controversial statement about Chris Paul. “I don’t like CP at all. Like we don’t have a good relationship at all, but I respect his hustle and I respect his IQ.” That’s why, just three years later, everyone was expecting Green’s opinion on the recent trade and his new teammate.

“Me and Chris have had our differences, you know, over the course of my 11 years playing in this league. Since year one. Chris is the way he is. I am the way I am. He’s not changing who he is at this point. I’m not changing who I am at this point. I think it’s very important for people to understand that.“



However, Draymond Green is confident that could be left aside in benefit of the Warriors. “I’m an adult and Chris is an adult. Like, we can talk amongst men. And that, I look forward to. There’s no sugarcoating what’s happened all these years. So to just go front and act like all those things was fake, like I publicly said I didn’t like Chris before.

Draymond Green sends shocking message to Chris Paul - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-knicks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Knicks</a> are coming off back-to-back positive <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> seasons, but they’re still at least one piece away from being a legit contender, even after adding Jalen Brunson.



Notably, Evan Fournier seems to think he could’ve been that missing piece. He’s resentful to the organization and coach Tom Thibodeau for not playing him even when they clearly needed something different in the playoffs.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami Heat</a> had an answer for everything Thibs threw at them. That’s why Fournier — who doesn’t expect to come back next season — put the coach and the organization on blast.



<h2>Evan Fournier Destroys The Knicks</h2>



“You want to spit on everyone, you have hatred,” Fournier said. “Derrick Rose and I looked at each other and said to each other: ‘What the hell are we doing here?’ During the five-on-five practice, we were on the side like some prospects.”



“I would be very surprised to be a Knick next year. They pay me 18 million, they have no interest in keeping me,” he continued. “If I stayed, it would be a disaster basketball-wise for my career. I can manage a year without playing. Two… that would be terrible.”



“If you want to trade me with a good return, why didn’t you use me?” Fournier asked. “I was coming out of a season where I was the fourth-best 3-point shooter in the league. Why not take advantage of it? Now they won’t get anything interesting and that’s normal because I couldn’t show anything [on the court].”

Truth be told, Fournier isn’t exactly the kind of player who should be making that much money, but the Knicks could’ve at least given him a chance. Now, he’ll look to silence them with his play somewhere else.

LeBron James' incredible reaction with new Cleveland Browns' uniform - Bolavip US

Apart from the Denver Nuggets, pretty much every team in the league is looking to improve their rosters ahead of the 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a>, for instance, aim to build a competitive team around <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a>, but they could miss out on a free agent who is also linked with the Chicago Bulls.



Rob Pelinka had already fixed the roster in the February deadline, but after watching Nikola Jokic and company sweep the purple and gold in the last Conference Finals, he realized more changes needed to be made.



That’s why the Lakers have been active this offseason, making a number of signings in free agency. The front office wouldn’t be done yet, but it may have to hurry up before one of its targets chooses another team.



<h2>Rumor: Bulls could prevent Lakers from getting Christian Wood</h2>



According to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Bulls are seen as a possible landing spot for free agent center Christian Wood – who is reportedly on the Lakers’ radar:



“According to sources familiar with the team’s free-agent pursuits but not authorized to speak publicly, the Chicago Bulls are suddenly viewed as a potential threat that could keep the Lakers from landing Wood.



The reason? Chicago recently got a $10.2-million player exception because of Lonzo Ball’s knee injury that’s expected to keep him off the court next season. The Bulls can use some or all of that money to acquire a player via trade or sign a player to a one-year free-agent deal.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lakers-could-still-get-christian-wood-but-theres-a-big-catch-20230719-BUS-31075.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230719_BUS_31075_christian-wood-1.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="There&apos;s a chance the Lakers get to add Christian Wood to their roster, but it may not be as easy as they initially thought.
" title="Lakers could still get Christian Wood, but there&apos;s a big catch" publication_id="BUS#20230719#BUS#31075"></div>


The report notes that, since the Lakers can only offer the veteran’s minimum, chances are Wood could sign elsewhere. The Miami Heat, who are waiting to get Damian Lillard, are also reportedly interested in the former Dallas Mavericks man.

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Kansas City Chiefs</a> will continue to be the team to beat in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> for years to come. The reigning Super Bowl champions will march strong for as long as they have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> and Andy Reid leading the way.



Nonetheless, as great as their offense is, every single team needs to have a solid defense to get the job done and perform at the highest level, and the Chiefs aren’t the exception to that rule.



That’s why there could be some concern among the fans, as there’s a chance that star DT Chris Jones won’t report for training camp as he continues to push for a new contract.



<h2>Chiefs Might Not Have Chris Jones For Training Camp</h2>



“I don’t know that [If Jones will report]. I’ll have to just see how that goes,” Reid said. “I mean, there’s communication going on. That’s the important part. And we just have to see.”



Even so, Mahomes is more than confident in his team’s abiltiy to repeat as Super Bowl champions. He knows everybody is as motivated as ever to prove that they’re a dynasty in the making:



“Everybody’s motivated by that,’’ Mahomes told ESPN.com. “You should be motivated to do it again. When you have that parade, when you go through the offseason that I’ve been through, you want to do it again. You only get those opportunities by winning the Super Bowl. And so for us, we want to make sure that we can build up and try to win that Super Bowl again because that moment, that feeling is something that you just wanted to grab every single time that you get the opportunity to do it.’’

Even before he made it to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> more than two decades ago, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James’</a> was already thrown into the GOAT conversation, with multiple analysts hoping he’d be better than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Jordan.</a>



It didn’t take long before James proved to be a unique kind of talent. His longevity is pretty much second to none, and two generations of players have grown up watching him play.



That’s why it’s not surprising to see <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brooklyn-nets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> star Mikal Bridges giving him the nod as the best player of all time, praising how he was able to round up his game throughout the years.



<h2>Mikal Bridges Says LeBron James Is The GOAT</h2>



“LeBron, ain’t no hesitation to that,” Bridges said on Gaming Room. “You want a guy that’ll just take over whenever. It’s crazy that in 2013, 2014, and even like 15, he could be known as the greatest player ever and still keep getting better.



“I think his jump shot, I’ll give it to him like his jump shot been looking real nice,” Bridges added. “(The) Biggest thing on LeBron, guarding him is just back up. He likes to get to the rim but now you gotta be up a little bit. Now you’re going to what he wants, he wants to go past you and take off.“



“Him adding that aspect brought his game to another level,” Bridges continued. “I feel like if I was one of the players on his team, why would you not want him on your team because he’s just gonna make everybody look better and I gotta says LeBron. Look at the numbers, look at everything.”



“I don’t blame the Jordan stuff because I didn’t grow up watching Jordan,” Bridges admitted. “I’m just gonna go off some highlights and go off just what people say? No, that’s not right. I will go off what I’ve been watching, what I’ve been seeing all these years and even now and being in the league and guarding him and this is when he’s older. You watch games back in the day too in Miami and stuff so I gotta say LeBron easily.”

Recently, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> star shed some light on what went down with him and his former teammate last offseason.



“I don’t just hit people. Dialogue, of course, happens over time. And you usually aren’t just triggered by something that fast to that degree. This is a team, nobody on my team is triggering me in an instant. We know stuff that you don’t say amongst men, we know things that you have to stand on,” Green said on Patrick Beverley’s podcast.



Notably, it seems like those comments didn’t sit well with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-wizards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Wizards’ </a>star old man, as he took to Twitter to rip Green’s behavior, going as far as to say that he avoided him for a full year.

As one would expect, it didn’t take long before that tweet found the four-time NBA champion’s way, and he fired back at the Poole patriarch with some threatening words.



“That’s so cute… it’s impossible to avoid you an arena for a year champ. I got get my family from that family room every game. And stop using those words, they usually don’t go over well amongst men,” Green replied.

Draymond Green hits back at Jordan Poole's father with threatening words - Bolavip US

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> hoping he’d take over L<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">eBron James</a>. And while that hasn’t happened yet — and likely won’t happen at this point — he has still been a major contributor to the team.



Davis’ injury proneness and inconsistency from time to time have exasperated some fans, and it even led to some questions about a potential contract extension.



However, a report by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin states that he’s expected to sign a new deal with the Purple and Gold before the start of the 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> season, and it could happen as early as the next couple of weeks.



<h2>Lakers Will Extend Anthony Davis Soon</h2>



(via Dave McMenamin)



“Anthony Davis in Rob [Pelinka’s] estimation is someone that has represented the Lakers really well, citing how he played through his foot injury last year as a major reason why they won a championship in 2020 and he wants to continue to have Anthony Davis as a Laker.



I am not too concerned about how this thing plays out, whether it’s the max amount of years or max amount of dollars are reached, that remains to be seen and that will be figured out between Rich Paul and Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss. But where things stand right now, I expect some sort of an agreement to be reached.



A lot of it is one, recognizing that Anthony Davis as a trade chip, there’s no way to replicate the value of what he brings to the court combined with LeBron James when he’s healthy, you just won’t. It’s absolutely impossible. You also recognize that LeBron turning 39 years old and entering Year 21 has a limited window, so then to try to coalesce with a new group if you were to find this beautiful trade for Anthony Davis, that’s follied, you could be wasting what’s left of LeBron and then beyond that, listen, we know the business of this league. 



If there’s no extension offered, what do you do? You apply pressure the other way and say I want out. So I’m fairly confident that Anthony Davis will come into training camp with an extended deal.”

Davis is one of the most talented players in the league and he’ll be the key to their success with an aging LeBron. Now, whether they’ll sign him to the max they can offer him, given his history of injuries remains to be seen.

Reigning MVP <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joel-embiid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joel Embiid </a>put the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a> — and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> as a whole — on notice with his latest statements, saying that he would love to win a championship in Philly or somewhere else.



He later took to Twitter to claim he was just trolling, and Sixers GM Daryl Morey also said Embiid is happy in the City of Brotherly Love and wants to stay there. However, the damage was already done.



With that in mind, Zach Harper of The Athletic believes the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami Heat</a> could abandon their pursuit of Damian Lillard to try and reunite Embiid with Jimmy Butler, as he could be easier to get.



<h2>NBA Rumors: Miami Heat Could Make A Run For Joel Embiid</h2>



“Daryl Morey is already processing Philly getting subpar value for [James] Harden,” Harper wrote. “However, a trade for Embiid (as awful as that might sound) is eased by Miami offering Bam Adebayo, a versatile four-time All-Star and two-time All-Defense selection.”



“An Adebayo-centered trade package to reunite Butler and Embiid could be an easier pill to swallow,” continued the report. “It would end any pursuit of Lillard due to lack of assets, but such a pursuit could also not yield Lillard at all.”

Embiid was aware of the effect his comments would’ve had, so maybe some truth lay within that joke, and he’s always raved about Jimmy and their time as teammates. It’s not that far-fetched to think at all.

One of the biggest debates in the basketball community has to do with who’s the greatest player of all time. For many, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> GOAT is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a>, but others believe that’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a>.



It makes sense that the conversation often revolves around them, since MJ led one of the greatest dynasties in sports in Chicago while The King won rings with three different teams.



But of course, you will always find those who think differently and pick other players above them. Kevin Garnett, for instance, snubbed both Jordan and LeBron from his all-time starting five.

“I am the one. I have got AI at my two. I’m gonna play Kobe at the three. I’m gonna throw everybody for a loop with this one, I’m gonna go Wilt and Bill Russell at my four and five. Bill Russell will guard Shaq and imma put Wilt on Kareem,” the Boston Celtics legend said on the KG Certified podcast of Showtime.

It’s not like Garnett didn’t come up with an interesting lineup, but it’s still quite strange not to see MJ or LeBron in it. Not always you will find both, but people usually choose at least one of them when naming their all-time starting five.
