<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Damian Lillard</a></strong> is one of the most wanted players in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong>. After the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets">Denver Nuggets</a></strong> proved they could stay on top in the near future, many teams have decided to risk it all in order to stop that.</p>



<p>For example, the <strong>Phoenix Suns</strong> traded for <strong>Bradley Beal</strong> to have a championship caliber roster alongside <strong>Devin Booker</strong> and Kevin Durant. That’s the exact same effect Lillard could have in a new franchise.</p>

<p>Scoot Henderson is on everyone’s lips, people are anxious to see him play in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-nikola-jokic-may-lose-a-nuggets-teammate-this-offseason-20230621-BUS-15272.html">NBA </a>since everyone assures that he will be the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/gilbert-arenas-explains-why-nikola-jokic-is-more-dominant-than-shaq-20230620-BUS-14260.html">next superstar</a> who could surpass big names like <strong>Michael Jordan, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-stephen-curry-warriors-lose-another-member-20230621-BUS-15209.html">Steph Curry</a></strong>, among others.</p>



<p>He is a very close family guy and Scoot will most likely follow that path when his NBA career begins after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-draft-spurs-already-have-a-plan-for-victor-wembanyama-20230615-BUS-11512.html">2023 NBA draft</a>.

<p>His life is going to change once he enters the NBA but so far all the balance he has achieved playing in the NBA G League Ignite has been in part to his family, especially his father and sisters who have helped him build his image.</p>



<h2>What do Scoot Henderson’s sisters do for him?</h2>



<p>According to a recent article published on ESPN by Hanif Abdurraqi, Henderson <strong>has four sisters (Onyx, Diamond, China and Christal) </strong>who currently work for him as personal assistants. They lead a large part of Henderson’s public life.</p>



<p><strong>Onyx </strong>is one of the three older sisters, she is in charge of his social media accounts, Instagram being one of the channels that Scoot frequently uses to show his ball life. His other older sister, <strong>China </strong>is focused on his attire and the last of the older sisters, <strong>Diamond</strong>, is the boss of the group.</p>

<p>Even though it’s been a long time, basketball fans can still remember pretty well the 2020 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> championship <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> won with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong>. First of all, it’s quite hard to forget the Orlando bubble.</p>



<p>But the reason this playoff run lives long in many people’s memory is that it was <strong><em>The King</em>‘s fourth ring with a different team</strong>. Previously, James won titles with the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers.</p>



<p>But nothing was the same for that team after the bubble, and the Lakers eventually had to reshape practically the entire roster. Some of those players managed to shine outside LA, though. If not, look at <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-kuzma">Kyle Kuzma</a></strong>.</p>



<h2>Kyle Kuzma reportedly chasing lucrative contract in free agency</h2>



<p>According to Matt Moore of <em>Action Network</em>, Kuzma is <strong>looking for a team willing to pay him $30 million per season.</strong> Whether he’ll get what he wants remains to be seen, but the 27-year-old won’t be lacking in suitors.</p>

<p>Wembanyama’s unique skill set makes him the ultimate unicorn. He’s <strong>7-foot-5 </strong>and can put the ball on the floor or pull up from beyond the arc and then swat shots into the stands.</p>



<p>That’s why he’s been touted as the best prospect of all time, even ahead of the likes of<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> LeBron James. </a></strong>Even so, he’s <strong>completely unfazed and unbothered </strong>by that kind of pressure.</p>



<h2>Victor Wembanyama Isn’t Worried About The Pressure</h2>



<p><em>“<strong>I do not feel any pressure on my shoulders or what, I think the reason is I try to live free. I am sort of like a free mind at all times,” </strong></em>Wembanyama told J.J. Redick. <em>“The way I play is truly want I want to play. I have wanted to play my whole life</em>. <em>This is me.

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a></strong> have once again proven to be one of the most dangerous teams in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong>, but they still have work to do to get where they want.

<p>Both of them have blossomed into stars before their eyes, and even though they couldn’t deliver a championship yet, they seem to be <strong>in the right direction</strong>. However, that doesn’t mean Boston should leave everything as it is right now.</p>



<p>This team <strong>can still improve</strong>, the Celtics can certainly try and make moves to upgrade the roster. According to Shams Charania, they are working on a three-team trade to land <strong>Kristaps Porzingis</strong>.</p>



<h2>Report: Celtics in talks to pair Kristaps Porzingis with Tatum, Brown</h2>



<p>“<em><strong>Sources: Wizards, Celtics and Clippers are in strong talks on a trade that would send Kristaps Porzingis to Boston, Marcus Morris and draft compensation to Washington and Malcolm Brogdon to Los Angeles. Sides are still working through details and Porzingis’ $36M player option</strong></em>,” Shams wrote on Twitter.</p>

<p>Notably, it’s gotten to a point where even <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James </a></strong>has had something to say about it. According to<strong> CBS Sports’ Bill Reiter</strong>,<em> The King</em> isn’t happy with Davis anymore.</p>



<h2>Lakers Is ‘Frustrated And Over’ Anthony Davis</h2>



<p><em>“LeBron’s moody,”</em> Reiter said on The Zach Gelb Show.<em> “LeBron changes his mind on people, and here’s something that he thinks is true one minute —<strong> I have heard he’s over Anthony Davis. He’s frustrated with the guy. He doesn’t believe in his toughness for obvious reasons.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Lakers May Not Break Them Up</h2>



<p>Even so, the Anthony Davis trade is pretty much the biggest move <strong>Rob Pelinka</strong> has made, so he’s quite unlikely to pull the plug on that experiment any time soon:</p>



<p>“<strong><em>LeBron and A.D. as two pillars is, you know, to us an unmatched combination </em></strong><em>that will continue to lean into and build around and both incredibly high character players that want to win, play the game the right way,” </em>Pelinka said. “<strong><em>We’re proud of that combination of superstars and want to continue to invest in that and invest in advancing the growth we had this year into next season.”</em></strong></p>

<p>LeBron has never hesitated to get rid of his teammates in the past, and this situation could escalate. So, it’ll be up to Davis to prove that he’s up to the task of finally stepping up and carrying the torch <strong>as the team’s go-to guy on a nightly basis.</strong></p>

LeBron James has changed his mind about Anthony Davis - Bolavip US

<p>There are many topics <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> fans can talk about, but it’s safe to say the most polarizing question in the basketball community is who’s the <strong>GOAT</strong>. The debate often revolves between <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> or <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a></strong>, but sometimes, other names can join the conversation.</p>



<p>Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, and a few other legends have also been mentioned as the greatest players of all times. Naming other players above MJ or The King, however, <strong>would be bold</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Brandon Miller</strong>, for instance, raised many eyebrows on Wednesday. When asked what he thought about the GOAT debate, the Alabama product took many by surprise by naming <strong>Paul George</strong>.</p>



<h2>Brandon Miller says Paul George is his GOAT, not LeBron or MJ</h2>



<p><em>“<strong>It was exciting to meet [Michael Jordan]… But I actually don’t think LeBron [James] is the GOAT of basketball. My GOAT is Paul George… I grew up watching him, so it never was just LeBron</strong></em>,” Miller told Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, as quoted by <em>ClutchPoints</em>.</p>

<p>No one saw that coming. After all, people not always mention Jordan or LeBron as their GOAT. But Paul George? That’s a new one.

<p>Green will have <strong>plenty of offers from other teams</strong>, as his grittiness, elite playmaking, high basketball IQ, and outstanding defense could get any team over the top.</p>



<p>That’s why<strong> Stephen A. Smith</strong> believes the Warriors should break the bank and offer him <strong>$30 million per year <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-draymond-greens-potential-destinations-20230620-BUS-14342.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to retain him</a></strong> and keep him until he retires from the league.</p>



<h2>Warriors Will Have To Pay $100-$120 Million To Keep Draymond Green, Says Stephen A. Smith</h2>



<p>“<strong><em>Draymond Green is easily worth another $100 million,” </em></strong>Smith said. <em>“$100-$120 million in today’s NBA economy, with KAT signing for $250 million, and they ain’t win a damn thing? I don’t want to hear that Draymond Green ain’t worth that money. <strong>You’re damn right he’s worth that money. It’s not just about offense, is it? Draymond is one of the elite defensive players in this game.”</strong></em></p>



<p><em>“One of the brilliant basketball minds in this game – the synergy he has with Steph Curry. Draymond Green doesn’t even have to look where he is throwing the basketball. He just has to throw to spots,” </em>Smith continued. <em>“<strong>Draymond Green deserves a three to four-year extension averaging $27 million to $30 million.”</strong></em></p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/zion-williamson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Zion Williamson</strong> </a>has been all over the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong> NBA</strong> </a>news lately, but not for the best reasons. The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-pelicans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Pelicans</a></strong> star is reportedly on the trade block f<strong>or the first time in his career.</strong></p>



<p>Never-ending injuries, a lack of availability, concerns about his weight and eating habits, and now a scandal with an adult film star and a bizarre love triangle have made Zion<strong> more popular than his actual play.</strong></p>



<p>That’s why it’s not surprising to see that the Pelicans are reportedly considering a clean break and a trade. And according to <strong>Bill Simmons, </strong>it might happen before Thursday night’s <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Victor-Wembanyama-profile-Age-height-weight-team-and-nationality-20230421-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA Draft.</a></strong></p>



<h2>NBA Rumors: Zion Could Be Traded Before The NBA Draft</h2>



<p><em>“The Zion thing is a real subplot,”</em> Simmons said on the latest episode of his podcast. <strong><em>“I had somebody tell me yesterday that I trust, he will not be on that team come Thursday.”</em></strong></p>



<h2>Pelicans Want A Fresh Start</h2>



<p>Another report states that even if the Pelicans fail to move him before the upcoming NBA Draft<strong>, it’s just a matter of time</strong> before they part ways with their franchise player: </p>



<p><strong><em>“Still, even if Williamson isn’t moved before Thursday night, that is far from the end of this story,” </em></strong>reported Will Guillory of The Athletic. <strong><em>“It’s only the beginning, as behind-the-scenes tensions between Williamson and the Pelicans have intensified over the past few months.”</em></strong></p>



<p><strong>The Zion saga</strong> has always been full of mystery and conflicting reports. However, it seems like this is the end of the line for him in the Big Easy, and both parties might be better off that way.</p>

<p>For the first time since he entered the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <strong>NBA</strong>,</a> it feels like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Damian Lillard </a></strong>could actually leave the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/portland-trail-blazers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Portland Trail Blazers</strong>.</a> Even <strong>the most loyal guy in the league</strong> has a limit.</p>



<p>Lillard has struggled to lead the team to the postseason recently, which is far from a surprise. Simply put, they just don’t have the kind of personnel<strong> to get over the hump.</strong></p>



<p>Now, according to <strong>Chris Haynes</strong>, Lillard has reportedly <strong>given the Blazers</strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/blazers-have-made-a-decision-about-damian-lillard-20230612-BUS-9708.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong> an ultimatum.</strong> </a>He doesn’t want to leave, but he will unless they put together a championship-caliber team right now.</p>



<h2>Damian Lillard Wants To Compete For A Ring Now</h2>



<p><strong><em>“Dame has made it clear that he wants to compete for a championship, and he wants to continue, and he wants a roster that can get him there,” </em></strong>Haynes said on  the #thisleague UNCUT podcast. </p>



<p>“<em><strong>He wants that now; he does not want to wait, he does not want to go through a rebuild,</strong> doesn’t want to continue to play with younger guys to help them grow and get to that point he wants to win,”</em> added Haynes.</p>



<p>So, expect the Blazers to be quite aggressive in their pursuit of more talent ahead of the NBA Draft, and don’t be shocked to see them parting ways with the <strong>third-overall pick</strong> to land another star to pair with Dame.</p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> </strong>are always looking to add some of the <strong>most prominent names around the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA</a>,</strong> and they will do whatever they can to give <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a></strong> some more help.</p>



<p>And with the <strong>Washington Wizards</strong> blowing it up by trading <strong>Bradley Beal</strong> away, it wasn’t much of a surprise to see<strong> Kyle Kuzma</strong> opting out of his contract to become a free agent.</p>



<p>With that in mind, <strong>Alex Kirschenbaum of Sports Illustrated</strong> believes that the Lakers could be interested<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-kuzma" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> in a reunion with the Utah product</a></strong>, who’d be an <strong>upgrade over Rui Hachimura.</strong></p>



<h2>NBA Rumors: Lakers Could Pursue Kyle Kuzma</h2>



<p><em><strong>“It’s reportedly possible Kuzma could seek a reunion with the Lakers,</strong> who shipped him out to the Wizards as part of their disastrous deal for ex-All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook in the summer of 2021,”</em> wrote Kirschenbaum.</p>



<p><em>“Given that he’s essentially a better version of younger incumbent combo forward Rui Hachimura (a former Wiz teammate of Kuzma’s), <strong>one wonders if the Lakers would renounce their rights to the restricted free agent and let him walk to accommodate a Kuz reunion,</strong>“</em> the report added.</p>



<p>Kuzma admitted that he needed to get away from L.A. to break out and be at his best, and he had <strong>a borderline All-Star season.</strong> Then again, he might look to go back to the Lakers and pursue another ring, even if that means taking a lesser role again.</p>

<p>The last time the Clippers played in the postseason was during the 2022-2023 season, they lost during the First Round against the Phoenix Suns, that series was humiliating, the Clippers were almost swept 4-1.</p>



<h2>The three reasons why the Clippers trade Paul George</h2>



<p><strong>1. Injuries:</strong> After multiple injuries playing with other teams, it is not yet known if George will be able to continue playing at the same level, he is also approaching the free agency in 2024 and the Clippers would have to offer him a max deal to keep him.</p>



<p><strong>2. CBA: </strong>Another reason why Paul George could be trade soon has to do with the upcoming collective bargaining agreement, the Clippers would rather offer a small contract to a young drafted player than risk a big max deal for a veteran like him.</p>



<p><strong>3. New Arena (Intuit Dome):</strong> The Clippers want to open their upcoming new arena with a winning team. In fact, it would be more profitable for the Clippers to win games instead of having a player like Paul George who could be injured at any time. The Clippers need to build a team around Kawhi Leonard that is young, athletic, and defensively sound.</p>

<p>The Hornets will have the pleasure of taking the second overall pick during the Draft, <strong>plus they have the 27th 1st round pick as well after a trade with the Denver Nuggets.</strong> In total the Hornets will have five picks more than enough to add new talent to their bench.</p>



<h2>Who will be the second overall pick for the Hornets?</h2>



<p>According to <strong>information revealed by Wojnarowski during an ESPN show</strong>, the Hornets <strong>are likely to select Brandon Miller at No. 2 overall. </strong>That information is highly likely to become fact on Thursday as the Hornets need more talented players.</p>

<p>In 2019, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a></strong> signed two huge stars expected to lead them to success. Unfortunately, the <strong>Kawhi Leonard-Paul George tandem</strong> has not worked out as well as anticipated so <strong>rumors now suggest</strong> that the team could be <strong>interested in disassembling this partnership</strong>.</p>



<p>After the <strong>2019 NBA Finals</strong>, <strong>Kawhi Leonard left the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-raptors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto Raptors</a></strong> to join the Clippers.

<p>Once Leonard made the decision to leave Toronto and move to Los Angeles, he requested the front office to sign <strong>Paul George</strong>. Kawhi was interested in <strong>teaming up with him at the Clippers</strong>, but things haven’t really worked out since then.</p>



<h2>Rumors: Clippers are interested in dissolving the Kawhi Leonard-Paul George tandem</h2>



<p>The Clippers have struggled to compete throughout their history despite having great players. In <strong>recent years</strong>, big names like <strong>Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, and DeAndre</strong> <strong>Jordan </strong>have all <strong>tried to achieve success in L.A.</strong>, but they have fallen short of their mission.</p>



<p>For this reason, the team’s front office made two blockbuster moves back in 2019.  <strong>Kawhi Leonard and Paul George</strong> were signed that summer, and it was expected that both players could <strong>triumph </strong>at Los Angeles.</p>



<p>Unfortunately, they have not lived up to the expectations. The Clippers are far from being a competitive team. For this reason, it seems like the franchise is interested in <strong>dissolving the Kawhi Leonard-Paul George tandem</strong> soon.</p>

<p>Mat Ishbia is serious about making the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/phoenix-suns">Phoenix Suns</a></strong> a successful team in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong>. Not only did they trade for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant">Kevin Durant</a></strong> shortly after he took over, now the team has added <strong>Bradley Beal</strong> to its roster.</p>



<p>With the former Washington Wizards star on board, the Suns have a mighty Big Three which includes Devin Booker. However, it looks like Beal <strong>wasn’t their original target.</strong></p>



<p>According to Ian Begley of SNY, before the three-time All-Star suddenly became available, Phoenix got in touch with the <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> to enquire about a potential deal for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyrie-irving">Kyrie Irving</a></strong>.</p>



<h2>Suns were interested in reuniting Kyrie Irving with KD</h2>



<p>“<em>The Suns don’t have much trade capital left after acquiring Bradley Beal from the Wizards. So it’s fair to assume that they can’t make a trade for a top player like Kyrie Irving. <strong>But it’s worth noting that Phoenix had interest in Irving earlier in the offseason</strong>,”</em> Begley wrote.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>The Suns were among the teams to reach out to Dallas about a potential sign-and-trade for Irving earlier in the offseason</strong>, per sources familiar with the matter. Dallas, presumably, wasn’t interested in what the Suns offered at the time. If the Mavs were blown away by the offer, logic says that Beal wouldn’t be a Sun today</em>.”</p>

<p>It would make sense, since Irving was one of the biggest names who could potentially be on the market. However, the Suns clearly<strong> don’t want to waste their time, and they preferred to move o</strong>n and get Beal, who is also an upgrade to their roster.</p>
