Леброн Жэймс ирээдүйн багийнхаа талаар эцсийн шийдвэрээ гаргаагүй байгаа нь лигийн солилцооны цонхыг удаашруулж байна.
Леброн Жэймсийн шийдвэр тодорхойгүй байгаа ч лигийн хүрээнд түүнийг өөрийн багтаа элсүүлэх сонирхол их байна. Тухайлбал, Жэймс Харден өөрийгөө, Донован Митчелл болон Леброн Жэймс нарыг нэг багт нэгдэх төлөвлөгөөтэй байгаагаа илэрхийлсэн бол Энтони Эдвардс түүнийг Миннесота руу ирэхийг уриалжээ. Мөн Филадельфи 76ерс багийн эзэн Жош Харрис түүнтэй хувийн уулзалт хийсэн нь анхаарал татаж байна.
Лэйкерс багийн хувьд бүрэлдэхүүнээ өөрчлөх ажил үргэлжилж байна. Лигийн эх сурвалжуудын мэдээлснээр, багийн удирдлага Жарред Вандербилтыг бодвол Жэйк ЛаРавиаг солилцоонд оруулах нь илүү хялбар байгааг онцолжээ. Вандербилтын бэртэл гэмтэл болон өндөр цалингийн асуудал нь солилцоонд саад болж буй бол ЛаРавиагийн харьцангуй бага цалин болон тоглолтын идэвх нь багуудын сонирхлыг татаж байна.
Даллас Маверикс багийн хувьд Даниел Гаффорд, Клэй Томпсон нарыг солилцох санал хүлээн авч байна. Кайри Ирвингийг солилцох боломжгүй гэсэн байр суурийг баг баримталж байгаа ч 36 настай Клэй Томпсоныг багтаа авч үлдэхээс илүүтэй солилцох хувилбарыг эрэлхийлж байна. Томпсон өнгөрсөн улиралд 11.7 points дундажилсан ч түүний хамгаалалт болон шидэлтийн хувь буурсан нь солилцооны үнэлгээнд нь нөлөөлж байна.

While we saw a trade on Sunday, it feels like NBA free agency is on pause waiting for LeBron James to make his free agency decision, which will come… eventually. Everyone — the front offices involved, other players, fans — is ready for LeBron to end his dragged-out free agency process, but he will do it on his own time. Until then, stars keep making their pitches, but other free agency rumors are flying around. Here are some of the latest.
Harden, Edwards make LeBron pitches
Among the most predictable, tedious, frankly clickbait things about LeBron’s free agency has been players, coaches and front-office people from every team that might land him — and a few that haven’t — being asked about him and asked to make their public pitches. The fact that 76ers owner Josh Harris had a quick, private conversation with LeBron made news.
If you care about such things, here are the latest from James Harden and Anthony Edwards.

Lakers considering other trades
The Lakers remade their roster this offseason to better fit around Luka Doncic this summer — LeBron is out, Walker Kessler and a group of new role players are in — but they may not be done, reports Sean Deveney of Heavy.com, based on a conversation with a league executive.
“When it comes to moving contracts, the Lakers have found teams more receptive to take on Jake LaRavia’s remaining $6 million for one year than the $25 million over two years for Jarred Vanderbilt.
“Vanderbilt is a guy who has probably gotten a bad rap there because he has had injuries and has not fit in well and all of that,” the exec said. “He can still play, just not at that number. (LaRavia) is a guy who you can ride when he is hot, but it gets tough when he is not. But he is tough, he plays every game, he hustles. You’d like to see better defense but he hustles. And $6 million, most people would take what he gives you for that.”
This is likely a training camp or in-season thing, but keep an eye on those two, particularly LaRavia.
Dallas open to trading Klay Thompson, Gafford
If it feels like Daniel Gafford has been available via trade for years, you’re not far off, and the Mavericks are still listening to offers, reports Marc Stein of The Stein Line.
“Daniel Gafford, they’re still fielding offers on him. We’ve also discussed they’d rather trade Klay Thompson rather than buy Klay out…
“I reported this on June 14th. Teams calling for Kyrie Irving are being told Kyrie’s not available, but Gafford, Klay, and P.J. [Washington] are regarded as the most available of the Mavs vets…
“Is Daniel Gafford going to be on this team by season’s end? It’s not an answerable question at this point. We know he’s available. Is someone going to put an offer together that interests the Mavs or are the Mavs going to keep holding out for a for a first round pick in exchange? Time will tell.”
Thompson, 36, is set to make $17.5 million in the final year of his deal. Thompson may be headed to the Hall of Fame someday but he is not that player now. He averaged 11.7 points per game, shot 38.3% from 3 but shot just 41.8% inside the arc, and is not the same defender he once was. While there might be teams interested in him in a reserve role, they don’t want to pay his current salary.
