NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
I imagine he's starting at some stage.
But probably not when Moody and Butler are back though.
There is no guaranty that Moody or Butler will come back at anything close to their prior levels (which, in the case of Moody, wasn't that high to begin with). And Yaxel is much, much bigger than Jimmy or Moody. He overlaps with Draymond much more than he does with Jimmy or Moody. On offense, Yaxel is a little bit of everything, and not great at any one thing. He obviously isn't a traditional big, but he is going to be guarding the 4 or the 5 most of the time. I'm relatively bullish on Yaxel and down on Draymond. I think there are going to be times next year when Warriors fans wish that Yaxel was playing more and Draymond was playing less.
I don't think Kawhi is at much risk, just doubt the league wants to battle the PA over that
More this drags I do think NBA might come down hard on the Clippers, or atleast harder than people thought they would
BEAST. Dude hasn’t gotten enough respect having the upside to be the best player in this class.

Fair comments.
Moody just fit in well with any setup the Warriors had. Really hope he comes back okay, but it's a brutal injury.
I thought he was the 2nd best Warrior last season after Butler went out (behind Steph).

Bulls fans are so ****ing happy they got the 4th pick meow
just unreal play
totally unprecedented
2 garbage time 3's in those points for Wilson btw - somehow can away more impressed with Boozer - that guy is good and smart
I never saw Wilson in college. I had the impression he was more of a classic power forward, young Shawn Kemp type that's not a shooter and is super bouncy.
Looks more like Paul George there.
His shooting is definitely the biggest question mark and probably why he was never really in the 1.01 convo. It looked really good last night.
He was 7/27 from 3 in 24 college games. 7/11 last night lol. And from the NBA 3 line too. He’s clearly been working on it. He also has a nice midrange face up and turnaround.
Every time he touches the ball, you think something special is going to happen. And dude has aura. Just oozes crazy upside if he puts it all together.
Hubert Davis is likely still our coach if Caleb doesn’t get injured.

Boozer never seems to make a bad play. He is very skilled and polished, which you would expect from a former NBA player’s son. His biggest question mark is how his below average athleticism (from an NBA standpoint) will affect his overall game. Defense might be a bit tough for him. But he’s going to get buckets.
I thought when you’re an American crossing into the Canadian border then all of your sins are forgiven.

Kawhi should blame it all on Uncle Dennis.

If Summer League play is any indication, this draft is going to be every bit as deep as everyone said. There have been a ton of guys who have looked very good.
if u were the Bucks
would u gamble on Zion's upside? hope a change of scenery helps
Zion + Jordan Hawkins for Myles Turner + Kuzma
Milwaukee is in a top 10 American cities by obesity rate, perfect for embracing his inner whale
So this Gary Trent Jr 4/64 contract has got to be Aspiration-bis right?
The market has completely dried up, there are basically no more teams with significant cap space - wtf
LOL at NBA burner accounts and super LOL at Tyler Herro.
Per The Athletic, Herro said something to Adebayo when he walked onto the court and Adebayo punched him without hesitation in front of Herro’s AAU team.
***
Following the trade, Herro allegedly threw shade at both Antetokounmpo and Adebayo on his burner social media account. On his purported burner Instagram, Herro posted a graphic that listed Antetokounmpo as the worst midrange shooter in 2025 and Adebayo as the 10th-worst. He also allegedly shared messages to a Heat fan which were leaked. Some of these comments included Herro allegedly saying “You should get paid 60 million to be a top tier defender on some nights? I’m just wondering” and “Why are Heat fans so worried about me and what I do? But I’m not the best player on the team right?”

It does bring light/suspicion to the min contracts he initially signed with the Bucks... 😡

I really need to see the video. Christmas can come early this year. I want to see what it looks like when Bam punches Herro.
Bam Bam.
LeBron could be waiting for either the Warriors to trade for AD or to see who the Heat sign.
I want Captain Le’America to team up with The Human Torch so bad! I’d watch as many games of theirs as I could.
Consolation would be LeBron to the Heat because pairing him with Giannis and Bam, to quote a Persian penetrate, would be:
just unreal
