勒邦占士執行球員選項 來季繼續效力湖人
這項決定是在湖人與盧卡當錫（Luka Dončić）合作首季未盡如人意後作出。雖然外界原本看好湖人能在西岸走得更遠，但球隊最終仍未能如願。當錫是在二月震撼全聯盟的交易中由獨行俠加盟湖人，交易中安東尼戴維斯（Anthony Davis）則被送往達拉斯。
交易後，湖人以50勝32負的戰績完成常規賽，並以西岸第三種子身份晉級季後賽。
「勒邦仍渴望爭逐總冠軍，」他的經理人Rich Paul向ESPN表示，「他知道湖人正為未來鋪路，他理解這一點，但他仍希望有一個實際可行的爭冠機會。」

早在剛過去的賽季前，湖人因聘請從未有高級教練經驗的前NBA球員雷迪克（J.J. Redick）擔任主教練，而引起熱議。雷迪克之前唯一教練經驗，是在布魯克林擔任兒子四年級球隊的義工教練。他在接掌球隊後，退出與勒邦合辦的節目《Mind The Game》，並辭去 ESPN 評論員職位，由前球星拿殊（Steve Nash）接替節目主持。
數日後，湖人又再引發話題。在2024年NBA選秀中以第55順位選入邦尼占士（Bronny James），使他與勒邦成為聯盟歷來首對父子同場父子檔。儘管邦尼在南加州大學僅打出平平一季表現，但湖人仍果斷選入這位新秀。
邦尼本季為湖人出戰27場，場均得2.3分；同時亦曾為NBA G聯盟的南灣湖人出戰11場，場均貢獻21.9分、5.1個籃板與5.5次助攻。
勒邦於2024年與湖人簽下兩年價值1.033億美元的新合約，當中包含2025-26賽季的球員選項。剛過去的第22個NBA賽季，他場均錄得24.4分、7.8個籃板及8.2次助攻。

Kevin Durant Accidentally Dissed His New Teammate In Viral Moment With LeBron James
Kevin Durant Accidentally Dissed His New Teammate In Viral Moment With LeBron James originally appeared on Fadeaway World. In a recent guest appearance on the 'Mind the Game' podcast, Kevin Durant spoke on countless subjects, including his career, the NBA, and life as a professional athlete. In one particular exchange, he spoke at length on shot selection and explained how he'd rather the ball be in the best player's hands than to pass it out to someone like Dorian Finney-Smith with the clock winding down. Advertisement Steve Nash: "The mid-range has never been more important; it just has to come from the right dudes. The court is spaced now by the role-players, what do you think they're trying to take away? Threes and layups, so the star has to be able to make mid-range shots or else the team is not gonna be able to score." Kevin Durant: "If you can't find a good shot, we should look for the good shots early. Attack the paint, try to get layups, try to get threes, but when there's 5-6 seconds left on the clock, give the ball to the best player. And if he shoots a mid-range at that point, he shoots a mid-range, but we're not gonna waste the clock trying to look for a three, two seconds on the clock, and we're giving it to Dorian Finney-Smith with two seconds on the clock. That's not a sustainable offense." Of course, Durant was just using Dorian as an example to illustrate his philosophy when it comes to team scoring. Durant always looks for the best shot, and he isn't like other stars in that he'd rather go iso in the mid-range over passing it off to one of his teammates. Unlike LeBron, Kevin is a shoot-first player, and he believes he's the best-equipped to get his team a bucket on demand. Compare that to LeBron James, who likes to look for the open man and the cleanest shot on every possession, and it's clear how their priorities differ on the court. In the case of Dorian Finney-Smith, Durant said he's better off watching the play than taking the final shot himself. What Durant didn't know at the time was that he'd end up being teammates with Finney-Smith. Days after Kevin's trade to Houston, Finney-Smith agreed to a deal with the Rockets for four years and $53 million. He and Durant will join Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., and Fred VanVleet on a stacked roster. Advertisement Funnily enough, it's going to be Durant working with Dorian Finney-Smith now, and he'll be making more than a few passes to him on the three-point line, where he made 39.8% of his threes last season. With the Rockets, they intend to compete for a championship and help build their momentum after capturing the second-best seed in the West in 2025. Next season will be the hardest test yet for Durant, who will be tasked with leading the Rockets to a title at 36 years old. If he plays his game and stays healthy in the process, the sky is the limit for this Rockets team. Of course, their success will also depend on guys like DFS accepting their role and learning to play within the flow of the game.

Eric Gordon inks new 1-year deal with Sixers
Eric Gordon inks new 1-year deal with Sixers originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia Eric Gordon is officially still a Sixer. The 36-year-old guard has signed a new contract, the team announced Tuesday night. Before the moratorium ends (July 6 at 12:01 p.m. ET), teams are allowed to formalize one-year, minimum-salary deals. Advertisement Gordon declined his player option but always appeared likely to remain in Philadelphia. As PHLY's Derek Bodner detailed, hitting free agency and then re-signing will slightly raise Gordon's 2025-26 salary while also decreasing his cap hit. In a career-low 19.7 minutes per game last year, Gordon averaged 6.8 points, 1.7 assists and 1.2 rebounds. He shot 40.9 percent from three-point range on 3.5 attempts per contest. Though Gordon is clearly past his prime, the Sixers still see his outside shooting as useful. 'Eric is a prolific shot maker whose ability to space the floor will serve our rotation well,' Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey said in a team press release. 'He's been a great fit on and off the court with this organization and we're fortunate to have him back.' Advertisement The Sixers should have several much younger guards in the mix next season, including Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain and Gordon's Bahamian teammate VJ Edgecombe. Earlier Tuesday, the Sixers signed Edgecombe and Johni Broome to their rookie contracts and inked Hunter Sallis to his two-way deal. All three practiced at the Sixers' summer league minicamp, which is set to run through Wednesday ahead of the team's trip to the Salt Lake City summer league.

Hornets continue to build, bringing back veteran guard
The Charlotte Hornets appear to be putting together the right pieces around LaMelo Ball to make a playoff push in 2025-26. On Tuesday, they retained the services of a veteran guard to put around Ball in Tre Mann. The former Florida Gators star signed a three-year, $24 million deal with the Hornets, according to ESPN NBA Iinsider Shams Charania. The 24-year-old Mann was drafted in the first round by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2021 after becoming a five-star recruit in high school. He was a first team all-SEC selection with the Gators, where he spent two seasons. Advertisement Following two-plus years with Oklahoma City, Mann was dealt to Charlotte in 2024 alongside Davis Bertans, Vasilije Micic and two second round picks for Gordon Hayward. He saw his scoring jump from 3.8 points per game to 11.9 with the Hornets, and the momentum carried over into this year. Mann posted a career-high 14.1 points per game, shooting 91 percent from the free throw line and 40 percent from the 3-point line in 13 games after suffering a back injury in November. The injury, a herniated disc, put him on the sidelines for the duration of the season. Charlotte will likely insert Mann into a backup role behind Ball at the point guard position, pairing him with Josh Green, Grant Williams and Jusuf Nurkic on the second-line. The Hornets drafted Kon Knueppel in the first round of the NBA Draft and also have Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges.
