NBA to impose some changes in the coming seasons

The game of basketball is expanding and evolving, thus, the rules too.

In a report of The Athletic, the NBA and the Players Association are expected to apply new rules in the league and these are the draft age eligibility and mental health designation.

Both agreed to lower the draft eligibility to 18 years old, meaning high schoolers can directly apply to the NBA draft without spending one-year in college.

The current rule that only allowed 19-year old players to apply in the draft is causing a lot of one-and-done players in college. With the current level of basketball talent in the world right now, more teenagers are already capable of playing in the NBA just like LeBron James and the late great Kobe Bryant.

Here are other ballers that were drafted right out of high school:

Kendrick Perkins, Andray Blatche, Gerald Green, CJ Miles, Rashard Lewis, Tyson Chandler, Jermaine O’Neal, Amar’e Stoudemire, etc.

The other thing the league wants to change is the designation of “mental health” that is going to be placed under “injury.” This means the player can sit out of a game while taking his time to heal. AS SEEN IN BOMBO RADYO

Kyrie Irving courts LeBron James to join Mavs

Kyrie Irving courts LeBron James to join Mavs

The stories have been LeBron wanting Kyrie back, but this time it’s Irving who reached out for James to come to Dallas and play for the Mavericks next season.

The report quickly went viral as a potential Irving-James-Doncic big three is now brewing.

However, trading for LeBron James means a lot of players and future round picks for the Mavericks.

It can be recalled that James was trying to land Irving in the middle of the regular season, but the Lakers failed to do so which put Irving from Brooklyn to Dallas to team up with Luka Doncic.

They fell short of a playoff spot and now it seems Irving seriously wants another trophy with him luring James for an epic reunion.

Whether this fails due to the cap restriction, Irving could still possibly join James in the Lakers as LA looks to revamp its squad despite reaching the conference finals after a slow start of the season.

Duncan Robinson only had 10 points, but all came in the fourth quarter to rally the Heat.

Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic dropped 41 points for the Nuggets but they lost, Denver is 0-3 in the postseason when Jokic scored 40+ points.

Jamal Murray was only contained by the Heat with only 18 points.

Suns sign Frank Vogel as new head coach

After parting ways with former Coach of the Year Monty Williams, the Phoenix Suns have already made their choice on who will hold the helm next season and it will be seasoned-tactician Frank Vogel, according to reports.

The 49-year old head coach had been with three NBA teams namely Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, and the Los Angeles Lakers where he led them to their 19th championship banner during the 2020 NBA bubble.

With this development, questions arise for the future of Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton.

The future Hall of Famer point guard was forced to sit out in the crucial part of their playoff run due to injury and with his age being a factor, a possibility of him being traded is very much likely. The same applies to Ayton who was ineffective in the postseason.

Trading these two key pieces of Phoenix can lure a superstar or role players that could help Kevin Durant and Devin Booker win a championship for the franchise.
