<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> has another goal apart from winning more <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> championships. <em>The King</em> has made it clear in recent years that he would love to play next to his eldest son <strong>Bronny</strong> before calling it a career.</p>



<p>Even though he’s not getting any younger, it looks like a real possibility for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> star. Bronny James is heading into his freshman year at college basketball, having committed to USC, and is expected to make the 2024 NBA Draft.</p>



<p>Therefore, chances are his father will still be in the league the day he turns pro. His younger brother <strong>Bryce</strong> will have to wait a bit longer, but it looks like he’s <strong>already drawing interest</strong> from the NBA regardless.</p>



<h2>Rumor: Lakers among NBA teams monitoring Bryce James</h2>



<p>According to Krysten Peek of <em>Yahoo! Sports</em>, <strong>a number of NBA scouts were watching Bryce James on the first day of Nike’s Peach Jam tournament</strong>. To make LeBron even prouder, even the Lakers reportedly had a scout watching Bryce’s performance:</p>



<p>“<em><strong>Scouts from the Lakers, Magic, Cavaliers, Mavericks, Heat, Knicks, Suns, Hawks and other teams all made James a priority on Day 1 of games</strong>.</em>“</p>



<p>Bryce helped Strive For Greatness get the 78-69 win over Expression, posting 12 points in his debut. His famous father couldn’t attend the game but he <strong>will reportedly show up later in the week.</strong></p>

<p>The 16-year-old will not be eligible for the NBA <strong>until the 2026 draft</strong>, which is why he may not get to play next to his father, unless <em>The King</em> decides to continue playing well over his 40s.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors </a></strong>committed a lot of money to lock up <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a></strong> right after the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <strong>NBA </strong></a><strong>Finals</strong>. Then, just one year later, they traded him <strong>in a salary-dump move.</strong></p>



<p>And while his poor play in the postseason, offensive inconsistency, and non-existent defense played a part in that decision, it’s not like he was so bad for them that <strong>they needed to get him off the court.</strong></p>



<p>The locker room, however, was a completely different thing. According to<strong> The Ringer’s Logan Murdock, </strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green"><strong>Draymond Green</strong> </a>wasn’t the only Warriors veteran who wasn’t high on Poole’s attitude, which obviously helped make the decision of let him go.</p>



<h2>Warriors Veterans Didn’t Like Jordan Poole</h2>



<p><strong><em>“A lot of the times, he was isolated from the group, right,”</em></strong> Murdock said on Bill Simmons’ podcast.<em> “He had allies on the team; Andrew Wiggins was an ally on the team, (Kevon) Looney, who they both are from Milwaukee, was a guy that liked Jordan.”</em></p>



<p><strong><em>“All the established guys had some version of a problem with Jordan Poole,” </em></strong>Murdock added. <em>“Whether it was Klay (Thompson) ironically saying that Jordan <strong>doesn’t pass the ball enough and shoots too much</strong>. And then you have Draymond, who sees Jordan as this guy, is like: ‘<strong>Yeah, I did punch him. I did do all these things, but now I don’t have a voice within the locker room because of what happened just now.’</strong> And he has spoken about that on his podcast. And then you have Steph (Curry) who was like trying to bring all of this together and was like, ‘<strong>Man, I am behind you Jordan; can you just get right so we can win?&apos;”</strong></em></p>



<p>Poole constantly snubbed his veterans and coach<strong> Steve Kerr,</strong> so this doesn’t come as a surprise. His attitude and body language changed as soon as he got a big contract, and that doesn’t sit well with winning organizations.</p>

<p>Harden is 33-years old and arrived to the&nbsp;<strong>Sixers</strong>&nbsp;on February of 2022.&nbsp;He was supposed to be the missing piece of a spectacular team with names such as <strong>Joel Embiid</strong>, Tobias Harris and <strong>Tyrese Maxey</strong>. However, they couldn’t even make it to the <strong>NBA Finals</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>James Harden</strong> was among the celebrities at the spectacular party thrown by entrepreneur <strong>Michael Rubin</strong> on July 4th.

<p>It didn’t take long before the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> </strong>rounded up most of their roster for the<strong> upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> season</strong>. They made several moves in the early hours of free agency, locking up<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> LeBron James’</a> supporting cast.</strong></p>



<p>The Lakers did well in the NBA Draft and managed to keep some of their key guys at a very reasonable price, adding more depth to the wings. Even so,<strong> GM Rob Pelinka still has some work to do.</strong></p>



<p><strong>Darvin Ham’s</strong> team still has one open roster spot left, and according to a report by<strong> Jovan Buha of The Athletic</strong>, they’re targeting another bi<strong>g to take more pressure off <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/anthony-davis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthony Davis’ </a>shoulders. </strong>However, it’s not like they have some impressive candidates.</p>



<h2>NBA Rumors: Lakers Target Mo Bamba Or Tristan Thompson For Final Roster Spot</h2>



<p><em>“L.A. is targeting another big man with its 14th roster spot, according to team sources. They are likely to carry 14 guaranteed contracts into the season, leaving one roster spot open,” </em>wrote Buha. <strong><em>“Mo Bamba, whom the Lakers waived on Thursday, and Tristan Thompson, who joined the team right before their playoff run, remain options to fill that 14th spot, according to league sources.”</em></strong></p>



<p>To be fair, both Bamba and Thompson have already spent some time — albeit brief — with the team recently, so it would give them some continuity as opposed to working on a whole new project. <strong>That makes sense.</strong></p>

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-raptors"><strong>Raptors</strong></a>‘ decision on Siakam’s future will likely impact the Knicks’ chances of acquiring Anunoby.</p>



<p>Grange said of the wait that the other teams will have to endure while the Raptors make up their minds: <strong><em>“As usual, the rest of the league can only watch and wait. The Raptors aren’t sharing any PowerPoint presentations on what they have planned next. In the past few weeks, I don’t think I’ve had a conversation with a league source that hasn’t included a question about what direction Toronto is headed in, what their plan is or how challenging the front office can be to get to read on.”</em></strong></p>



<p>O.G. Anunoby was key for the Raptors during the 2022-2023 season with 16.8 ppg, 1.9 steals (career highest), 67 games started, 83.8% free throws and 38.7 threes.</p>

<p>Trae Young was lethal last season with <strong>73 games started, 10.2 assists per game (career highest)</strong>, <strong>1.1 steals per game and 26.2 points per game</strong>, making him one of the best <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-hawks"><strong>Hawks </strong></a>of the season.</p>



<p>However, the Atlanta Hawks were unable to avoid a first round elimination to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics"><strong>Boston Celtics</strong></a> 2-4. Despite the poor results in the postseason they are determined to start the upcoming season as contenders.</p>

<p>Multiple sources and social media accounts claim that <strong>Trae Young recently followed Pascal Siakam on Instagram</strong>, which could suggest that the Hawks are interested in Siakam.

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Damian Lillard</a></strong> reportedly wants to leave the Portland Trail Blazers, and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a></strong> couldn’t be more excited about it. Without any doubt, the guard would make them a strong favorite to win the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> championship next year.</p>



<p>A player of Dame’s caliber <strong>may be exactly what Jimmy Butler and company need</strong> to finally get to the promised land. Miami has made deep playoff runs in recent years, but didn’t have enough to win the ring.</p>



<p>However, the Blazers are not surrendering their superstar so easily, which is why the move is taking longer than the Heat wish. As they explore ways to make it happen, <strong>the possibility of adding a third team</strong> has emerged.</p>



<h2>Rumor: Nets want to involve Ben Simmons in Heat trade negotiations for Lillard</h2>



<p>According to Heat insider Greg Sylvander of <em>Five Reasons Sports</em>, the <strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong> want to get involved in a potential three-team trade that helps the Heat get Lillard by making <strong>Ben Simmons</strong> part of this deal:</p>



<p><em>“As Dame to Miami deal continues to be worked on, I’m told at least one challenge in negotiations has been the fact BKN <strong>wants to ship out</strong> Ben Simmons as part of this deal. The sticking point being that <strong>no team is particularly interested in taking him so far</strong>, per source.”</em></p>



<p>Simmons is <strong>due nearly $80 million</strong> across the next two years, which explains why the Nets reportedly want to part with him. However, it also makes sense that no team is interested in absorbing that contract.</p>

NBA Rumors: An All-Star could be involved in potential Heat trade for Damian Lillard - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> free agency started a few days ago and most teams have been aggressive. Title contenders such as the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/phoenix-suns">Phoenix Suns</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong>, for instance, have made moves to help <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant">Kevin Durant</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong>, respectively.</p>



<p>It makes sense, since both teams <strong>fell shorter than expected</strong> in the 2023 playoffs. While KD and company were unable to stop Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets, the Dubs were outplayed by LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers.</p>



<p>That explains why both Mat Ishbia and Mike Dunleavy were busy in the last few days, especially since the free agency period opened. But the Suns <strong>had the upper hand</strong> on the battle for a specific player.</p>



<h2>Rumor: How Suns beat Warriors on the race for Eric Gordon</h2>



<p>According to <em>The Athletic</em>‘s Kelly Iko, <strong>Eric Gordon</strong> had the Warriors as one of his preferred landing spots before he chose the Suns. The guard became a free agent after running out of contract with the Clippers and reportedly had many suitors around the league.</p>



<p>Anthony Slater of <em>The Athletic</em> later gave insight into Gordon’s decision to snub Golden State for Phoenix, explaining that the latter <strong>offered a player option in the second year</strong> that the Warriors weren’t willing to include while Gordon <strong>felt he would have less playing time in the Bay area</strong>:</p>



<p><em>“A veteran minimum contract for a 16-year pro such as Gordon costs $3.2 million next season, but if it’s a one-year deal, the league subsidizes nearly half of it and only about $2.01 million counts against the cap. If it’s a multi-year deal, all $3.2 million counts against the cap. Multiply it by the repeater tax and you’re talking about somewhere around a $7 million added fee if the Warriors were to offer Gordon the same multi-year minimum contract that Phoenix did.</em> …</p>



<p><em>“<strong>Phoenix has something else to offer its minimum targets this week that the Warriors don’t. There’s a clearer path to a larger role on the Suns.</strong> They entered free agency with a torn down roster around Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and Deandre Ayton. <strong>There’s a fifth starting spot up for grabs and loads of bench minutes available</strong>. Gordon will probably close playoff games for them.”</em></p>

" title="Warriors sign former NBA champion as Stephen Curry backup" publication_id="BUS#20230704#BUS#22667"></div>


<p>In the wake of Gordon’s decision, the Warriors later switched their attention to Cory Joseph, who reportedly agreed on a one-year deal. That way, they have the <strong>backcourt depth they need</strong> behind Curry.</p>

<p>Bol Bol had been playing with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/orlando-magic">Orlando Magic</a></strong> since 2022 but he was supposed to play in Boston with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Celtics</a></strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boston-celtics-t101837"><strong> </strong></a>although he was traded to the Orlando Magic along with another player and a draft pick on February 10 of that year.</p>



<p>So far, he has not established himself as a starter,<strong> but the 2022-2023 season was the best of his career</strong>. He started in 33 games (a career high), averaged 9.1 points per game (also a career high), and set personal records with 70 games played and 1.2 blocks per game.</p>



<p>In addition to his regular season experience, Bol Bol also played in the playoffs twice, both seasons with the Denver Nuggets in 2020 and 2021. He played a total of seven games off the bench, which is enough experience for a 23-year-old player.</p>



<h2>Why didn’t the Orlando Magic offer Bol Bol a new contract?</h2>



<p>Talks between Bol Bol and the Orlando Magic were fluid, but according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and other sources, <strong>the franchise and the player did not reach an agreement. The negotiations failed despite the fact that they pushed back the guarantee date.</strong></p>



<figure class="aligncenter size-full wp-block-image"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="552" height="219" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/28112748/adrianwoj-espn-1-552x219.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-23323" sizes="(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px"></figure></div></figure>



<p>A good place for Bol Bol would be next to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/victor-wembanyama">Victor Wembanyama</a> in the San Antonio Spurs but so far those are speculations, although he could have two safe scenarios for the upcoming season or play in the NBA or go to Europe or another continent.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a></strong> have once again left a lot to be desired when it mattered the most, falling shorter than expected in the 2023 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> playoffs. Now, the team is facing an uncertain future with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden">James Harden</a></strong> reportedly wanting out.</p>



<p><em>The Beard</em> picked up his $35.6 million but to work on a trade this offseason. This situation definitely <strong>threatens the Sixers’ aspirations</strong>, since Harden originally arrived to help Joel Embiid challenge for the championship. </p>



<p>Of course, the 33-year-old has already drawn interest around the league and Philly has reportedly been engaged in conversations with other teams. However, it looks like the front office still hopes to convince Harden to change his mind.</p>



<h2>Rumor: 76ers want to convince Harden to stay</h2>



<p>According to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski of <em>ESPN</em>, the 76ers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey as well as other executives <strong>want James Harden to stay</strong> in the City of Brotherly Love:</p>



<p>“<em>I think there’s two rails with this James Harden situation. <strong>You have an organization that would still love to keep him in Philadelphia for the season</strong>. Daryl Morey, their president, he’s got a long history with James Harden, and certainly, I think if there’s a way as the summer goes on <strong>to try to convince him that they can still make this work together, that he has a chance to compete for a championship, they’ve got a new coach Nick Nurse</strong> with the Sixers,” </em>Woj said, via <em>SixersWire.</em></p>



<p>“<em>At the same time, they are talking to teams. The Clippers remain a team very interested in James Harden. They’ve been looking for a point guard there the last couple of years. I think those are conversations that will evolve, <strong>but you saw with Daryl Morey a couple years ago with Ben Simmons, he slow played it</strong>. <strong>They were unsuccessful in getting Ben Simmons back into the fold, but they didn’t have the relationship with Simmons that this group does have, especially Morey he has with Harden</strong>, but I think this is gonna be again like Portland’s situation. One that may play out over the summer. There may be no quick resolution. We have a lot of time before training camp in September.</em>“</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a></strong> fell just short of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> championship last season, which is why they are expected to go after another star this summer. With <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Damian Lillard</a></strong> out there, the South Florida team may have the perfect opportunity to upgrade.</p>



<p>As a matter of fact, Dame reportedly wants out of the Portland Trail Blazers and Miami is believed to be his preferred landing spot. It makes sense, since they <strong>seem to be made for each other.</strong></p>



<p>However, the Blazers will first try and get as much as they can to let their superstar go. While meeting their demands looks like a challenging task, the Heat <strong>may have the player</strong> who could make it happen.</p>



<h2>Rumor: Caleb Martin could unblock Damian Lillard trade to Miami</h2>



<p>According to Heat insider Wes Goldberg on the “Locked On Heat” podcast, the Blazers may want <strong>Caleb Martin</strong> in return on a potential deal for Lillard. However, the Heat front office is reportedly reluctant to surrender the forward:</p>



<p><em>“<strong>A real sticking point in negotiations could be the inclusion of Caleb Martin</strong>… I have been told the Heat <strong>would prefer to keep</strong> Martin. They view him as an important part of a championship contender.”</em></p>

<p>Unsurprisingly, most young players believe that<strong>&nbsp;James is the best to ever do it.&nbsp;</strong>Likewise, those who grew up watching Jordan are positive that he’s second to none.</p>



<p>That seems to be the case with&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Miami Heat</a>&nbsp;legend Dwyane Wade.</strong>&nbsp;Even though he won multiple championships side by side with LeBron,&nbsp;<strong>he still believes Jordan is the greatest</strong>&nbsp;to ever lace them up.</p>



<h2>Dwyane Wade Snubs LeBron James, Says Michael Jordan Is The Goat</h2>



<p>“<em>LeBron is one of my good friends, I have so much respect for what he’s doing now, what he’s done, and what he will eventually do–&nbsp;<strong>It will definitely be an argument that needs to be had,</strong></em>” Wade said.</p>



<p><em>“If LeBron ends up the number scorer of all-time, top five in assists and top&nbsp;</em>five&nbsp;<em>rebounds, with four, five, or six championships<strong>, you cannot do nothing but have the conversation of who is the GOAT,</strong>“</em>&nbsp;Wade continued.</p>



<p><strong><em>“I come from the Jordan era, so I’m biased,”&nbsp;</em></strong>Wade admitted.&nbsp;<em><strong>“Michael Jordan will always be my GOAT– I played basketball because of Michael Jordan</strong>. All of us have our own opinions.”</em></p>



<p><strong><em>“LeBron is going to be the GOAT for a lot of generations. [Jordan] will be my GOAT,”&nbsp;</em></strong>concluded Wade.<em>&nbsp;“I made it out of the hood because I’ve seen a dude, number 23 play the game of basketball at a level where I was like I want to do some of that.”</em></p>

<p>Following a shocking elimination to the eight-seeded Miami Heat in the playoffs, the team parted with head coach Mike Budenholzer. <strong>Now it’s Adrian Griffin’s turn </strong>to try and take Milwaukee back to the top.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, the purple and gold seem to be in a better spot, having made interesting moves in the free agency as they prepare to run things back with Darvin Ham. However, <strong>they still lost a player</strong> to the ambitious Bucks.</p>



<h2>Bucks reportedly sign Malik Beasley</h2>



<p>According to NBA insider Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks have reached an agreement to sign <strong>Malik Beasley</strong> on a one-year deal. The guard hit the open market after the Lakers declined his $16.5 million team option this offseason.</p>
