Another report that LeBron James trade talk has 'gotten quiet'
LeBron James' future was the hottest topic at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, but the conversations often followed the same pattern: A discussion of the tone of agent Rich Paul's statement when LeBron picked up his $52.6 million player option, a discussion of how the Lakers are now focused on a Luka Doncic based future, then things quickly turned to shrugs as soon as trying to figure out a LeBron trade that works for everyone became the topic. There wasn't a good one. And nobody thinks he's giving a bunch of money back in a buyout to become a free agent. With that, LeBron trade chatter has died down, something Zach Lowe discussed on The Bill Simmons Podcast. 'I've heard it's kind of gotten quiet now after it was the talk of Summer League. There doesn't seem to be like a clean solution either way. Everyone's saying we should expect them to be on the Lakers. That's my expectation. Then Lowe discusses Simmons' idea of a Miami reunion for LeBron. 'Like on paper there's a Heat trade that is not crazy for either team. Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell for unhappy LeBron in January and maybe some sort of pick swap and maybe that's all it is as crazy as that sounds. I think for the Lakers Kel'el Ware has got to be in it.' Everything may look different by the February trade deadline, but does this trade work for LeBron? He has a no-trade clause and wants to compete for a title in the years he has left in the league. Is Miami one of those teams? Even in a down season in the East, it's hard to see Miami being a championship-caliber team that could beat Cleveland, New York, Orlando, and others, with or without LeBron. Currently, he is on a Lakers team that is not a top-three favorite to emerge from the deep West, but with Doncic, Austin Reaves, Deandre Ayton, and the rest of the roster, this should be a strong team. The Lakers are closer to LeBron's goals than the Miami Heat. All the other fake trades also run into real-world logistical problems. Cleveland can't trade for him because they are over the second apron of the luxury tax and can't aggregate salaries in a trade (it would have to be one-for-one and the Cavs don't have anyone making LeBron-level money). New York would have to gut its roster of depth to make this trade, which would not improve their team. The most likely scenario remains that LeBron stays with the Lakers this season, then becomes a free agent next summer, and things get very interesting.

Tre Johnson's Outfit at 2025 NBA Draft is Turning Heads For the Wrong Reason
Tre Johnson's Outfit at 2025 NBA Draft is Turning Heads For the Wrong Reason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NBA Draft is a moment where 59 players from across the world will hear their name called, marking the beginning of their childhood dream of becoming NBA players. Advertisement While the draft is, of course, known for providing the NBA's biggest stars, it is also known for giving us some dos and don'ts when it comes to fashion. Whether it was LeBron James' baggy suit during the 2003 NBA Draft, Trae Young's shorts with his suit or Kevin Knox's "Fortnite" suit in 2018, there have been plenty of memorable suits throughout the years. Unfortunately for former Texas Longhorns star, Tre Johnson, his suit appears to be trending toward joining this list of fashion don'ts. The No. 6 overall selection by the Washington Wizards also went the shorts route, but his are oversized, and he has a pair of white sox to go with them. Advertisement Fans on social media had plenty to say about his outfit, with many of them not necessarily feeling it. "Draft outfit stolen from a 1920s boys boarding school," joked one fan. "If he doesn't come out with a guitar singing "Shoot To Thrill" I'm leaving the arena," said another. "Getting attention was his goal, not fashion. Unfortunately many will fall into his trap of commenting on this poorly chosen outfit …. Myself included," wrote a third. "Not tre… dressed like he attends a hs all male boarding school," quipped another. Tre Johnson stands with NBA commissioner Adam Silver after being selected as the sixth pick by the Washington Penner-Imagn Images While fans may not love his outfit, fans in D.C. will love his scoring ability. The 2025 SEC Freshman of the Year averaged 19.9 points per game on 42.7% shooting from the field and 39.7% from deep. Advertisement With the Wizards moving on from Jordan Poole, Johnson can step into that role and possibly be even more efficient.
