NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
When’s the parade? Hahah
Bad first half, followed up by a we are the better team second half. Nice to see them pull out games like that.
Yes, but the Mavs also went 2-7 went during that experiment. That isn't dispositive, of course. It's possible that the team would have been 0-9 during that stretch if Flagg had been used differently. But I would say that it points circumstantially in the direction of the conclusion that the team was suboptimized during that stretch. In any case, it is still LOL for Jason Kid
Jason Kidd didnt “cast Flagg as a point guard”. That’s a pretty unsophisticated view of the sport
He put lineups on the court to try to win the game. He didnt assemble a team with five centers and no guards
Long suffering LAC fan is fine with this. They’re on a roll but too far back to realistically make top 6 and are most likely just going to get stomped in the first round.
Keeping the OkC pick out of the top 10, reset for next summer they have huge cap space. It’s fine.

You need a support group.
Hello my name’s GTO2.0, and I’m a Clipper-a-holic.
The Jazz being buyers…. Not something I would’ve expected.
JJJ / Lauri pairing is probably pretty good.
Could even go big with Lauri at the 3.
3 future 1st + Walter/Kyle/Niang seems like a lot for JJJ, but whatever.
Happy for Walter to possibly get more burn on a less shitty franchise.
lol jazz.
Danny Ainge’s son must be high.
JJJ is a foul box who can’t rebound.
He’s tried fouling less and now blocks less shots. And he’s still a bit of a foul box.
recently discovered the #1 hs prospect plays in seattle - going to go to a game and watch Tyran Stokes in person for $8
I randomly got to watch him play at an AAU tournament when he was in 8th grade when my son was in 6th grade. He was dunking like crazy every chance he got at 14 years old, just looked like a man playing against boys. Other team had Latrell Almond, another top HS prospect this year who was almost just as good.
here's the highlights from that game - young rick would have screenshotted me in the stands, old rick knows better
was a ton of fun
hoping to go see the state championships as well

LMAO thinking Grizz any kind of exemplary model franchise—though having .75 is less shitty than having .50–but assuming they dump Ja, their chances of reaching the second round over the next decade will be infinitely higher than the Jazz.
What Danny has done is the equivalent of conning Grandma & older brother into giving you the cabin & car for the holiday weekend while your parents are out of town, and setting up some social media that convinces the hottest girl in school and her BFF at another school that you’re a Clydesdale-Lizard King, and then getting caught up in a D&D marathon right after school Friday with the Fruit Of The Loom boys.
Spoiler
Unless they’re planning on flipping him as part of a deal that puts him and Lauri in Milwaukee and Giannis in SA, if that’s allowed.
Can we @Dean now?

could do harper and salary to utah plus the best SA picks i guess
too tired to do trade machine now, might do it later
Man, almost ten hours since Harden trade and crickets here. RIP 2+2.
Things are heating up!
Don't totally understand Harden to CLE either, but meh.
Also, Draymond gone?
Not unless the Giannis trade happens. FWIW, I think Draymond has declined fairly significantly on the offensive end. He is declining on the defensive end as well, but probably less rapidly because of effort and guile.
If the Giannis trade happens, I could see a universe in which Draymond declines his player option and resigns with the Warriors in the off season.
I wonder if the Cavs are concerned that Garland's toe problems in both feet may be chronic. Even at his advanced age, Harden looks like a better bet to stay healthy in the immediate term than Garland does.
Wizards fleeced? 2 1st and 3 2nds (and others) for AD? LMAO.
I also thought Exum was playing abroad.
Great pick up by OKC getting Jared McCain
The trade deadline is great.

One of the first rounders is worthless, as it is OKC 2026 pick.
