LeBron James didn't ask Lakers for an extension
“I spoke to Rich Paul…He wanted to make it clear that the Lakers weren’t blindsided by his statement or the decision to opt in. The Lakers were operating under an assumption that Lebron would be opting in. Klutch and Lebron James didn’t ask for an extension” – @mcten

Social media reacts to Michael Porter Jr. trade: 'The Joker isn't interested in asset management'
After a slow start to 2025 NBA free agency, the league threw us a curveball with a shocking trade made between the Denver Nuggets and the Brooklyn Nets.
In that move, Denver traded Michael Porter Jr. to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson. As part of the trade, the Nets will also receive a 2032 first-round pick from Denver.
Of course, Porter Jr. was often the subject of trade rumors over recent years. So was Johnson, for that matter. But for the Nuggets to finally trade the at-times frustrating scorer after drafting him, after he helped them win a championship not that long ago, made this trade very noteworthy.
Below, we put together some of the funniest social media posts about the big move, as well as some of the best analysis.
Check it all out below.
