2026 NBA Season

It seems Draymond keeps whining...

You can’t really take his statement seriously, he’s good at trash talk and plays dirty. But this season I don’t think the Warriors can beat Houston anymore since they already got Durant. Remember it was Draymond who drove Durant away from the team after he helped them win 2 championships, so there’s probably still some bad blood between them.

Would love to see them meet in the playoffs, and even better if the Rockets take them out.

They would not acknowledge it, its seems that its Durant needed them lol, but now some podcaster telling they all fly to Durant place and beg to join their team, imagine asking someone to join them then after helping them win the rings 2x, they all tell lies like they don't need Durant to win its another way around, which is crazy because even with only James during the 2 championship they have Durant carry them like babies in the finals, without Durant, James get 3 straight ring because that's prime James, anyone agree.

With desire and dedication, the Warriors can beat any team in the NBA, but if that happens, Green's contribution will be minimal. Honestly, looking at his statistics over the past few years, I don't understand why the Warriors' management signed him to a $100 million contract.

They did that during their last championship, but perhaps they are still solid that time, with Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson and the rest of the team jiving to give them their last ring. But after that, totally different Warriors team. Maybe last season they almost pulled it off again, but Steph got injured and there's no way that they are going to win their series against the Timberwolves. And with that, another year is added to this aging veterans and there are news that Al Holford will be joining them for the upcoming season. So it might be very hard for them to repeat. Maybe they can go in the playoff, but it could be the same as they could be eliminated again in the first or second round.

Yeah, I kinda get your point here. Draymond’s trash talk is part of who he is, but sometimes it goes too far and hurts the team more than it helps. That whole Durant situation really left a mark — hard to just brush it off, especially now that KD is in Houston. If the Rockets and Warriors meet in the playoffs, it could easily turn into one of the spiciest series of the season.

As for the $100M contract, I also scratched my head when it happened. His numbers don’t justify it in the box score, but I guess the Warriors’ management value his defense, locker room presence, and chemistry with Steph and Klay more than just stats. Still, it’s a gamble — if Green can’t keep his emotions in check, then Houston with Durant might just expose that weakness hard.

I  really think that the problem is their system used. Small ball team is well scouted strategy now and this is maybe the reason why they are struggling to win now that's why they keep losing with their roster they have now.

Maybe Warriors need a revamp and try to get solid center like maybe Horford since he's provably helpful for Warriors since we can't deny that he's still good then have championship experience.

But its not verified if he can sign him since I think they are struggling on current stand off happening on Kuminga's contract signing.

Mainly because his presence alone is very intimidating to the opponent team star player. He is good on annoying opponents to lost focus on the game. He is also good on defense which is the key factor on why the Warriors still relevant despite having no tough defensive player on their roster.

Green age is already slowing him down. Maybe his contract value will already go downhill soon.

He is still needed in able to make the Butler-Curry tandem work.

It’s crazy that with John wall’s retirement Paul George is now the last man standing from the 2010 draft class. It makes it really hard to believe that LeBron James is still playing and was a member of the 2003 draft class. That guy really is in his own category. Absolutely amazing lifelong commitment to fitness.

LeBron is one of the greatest athletes in the world. Normally, basketball players his age would have retired years ago, but he's still striving to become a champion. He still has the athleticism of a 20-year-old, and his game is still incredibly high.
That's why he's one of the most respected people in the world, and it's incredible that we still watch him on the court. He's achieved more than any other basketball player

He hasn’t had a serious injury, that’s why he’s still active now and still leading his team. Other players weren’t as lucky, like John Wall, after being sidelined for a season he was never the same again. The only one I can remember who bounced back strong was Paul George, he even landed a good contract after the serious injury he suffered.

Injuries kill careers, just look at Derrick Rose if you still remember. So let’s just hope LeBron stays healthy so he can play more seasons.

Not the greatest but one of the great athletes in the world. His physique is truly remarkable but his achievements is not the most greatest since most of his championship is a product of building super team around him.

Unlike team of GSW, Spurs, Mavs and many more that get championship through pure team work and slowly building their team by developing players to star caliber.

I’m not LBJ fan he is not the goat of NBA.

Lebron is investing a lot on his body, that's why up to his 20th season, he still can dunk and move like he was still in this prime. And most likely that is the reason as well, he is very careful on what he put in his body, just like the other great player in Tom Brady. So he might have a chef that personally cooks for them and then with the adjustment of sports medicine, he is healing that body with hyperbaric and red light chambers as well as cryotherapy.

@AbuBhakar - as for the discussion of the GOAT, it's very hard to compare era's to era's.

Let us leave the GOAT thing because everyone has their own GOAT and we should respect that, unless the NBA itself announce who is the GOAT.

For mere there are many GOAT in NBA in different ERA, unless Jordan vs LBJ vs KOBE play ball at the same time on their primes.

All I know now and even PROs Stats of LBJ is close to unbreakable with points. and the way he play at his age now is really something,
so lets enjoy the NBA while he is playing like what he had when MJ and Kobe on their retirement year.

[Maslate]

There can’t be more than one GOAT, the term itself means “greatest of all time.” Right now I believe the GOAT in the NBA is Michael Jordan. If another one comes in the future, that means Jordan is replaced, not that there’s suddenly two GOATs.

[Volgastallion]

GOATs are foe eras period. Is impossible to have only one GOAT, for sure every generation is gonna claim his GOAT is better than any other GOAT and so on, but for me we have only three GOATS for real in NBA, the others are more like legendary players but not GOATS.

My three GOATS are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan and Lebron James.

That is for you and not for mee or for other person, because he got 6 rings? i know someone in NBA got 11 RINGS!!
just keep you GOAT to your self! GOAT is only one but only the NBA can declare that!

I got 4!! i will include KOBE! they are the 4 goats of different ERA!

Here’s a touching video of D Rose being told that his jersey is being retired for the Chicago Bulls this upcoming season. They told him nobody again would ever wear his number for the Bulls unless… his son plays for the Bulls someday. A great video and shows how much this honor means to NBA players.

Yeah basing from the title itself, though there are different opinions about it and we as individual we can keep what we believe, as same with you, for me  personally I still believe that Jordan still remain as the Goat of this sport like you mentioned if there's a new one then the title will be handover to such athlete but so far there's none as per my opinion.

NBACentral is reporting that the Sacramento Kings are trying everything they can to trade Malik Monk to make room for Russell Westbrook on the roster. While I like the idea of Russ on the Kings, I’m not sure at this point in his career that he’s better than Malik Monk. Hopefully Sacramento isn’t adding to their long list of mistakes with this one.

Westbrook is way past of his prime. I'd take Malik Monk over him, as he's a spot-up shooter and can create his own shots too. The only thing I can remember about Westbrook is his explosiveness; other than that, nothing else.
I also don't think he'll make any impact on the team at this point of his career. He's on the verge of retirement to be honest.

We have our own opinions are basketball fans, even MJ himself said that he respects the greatest basketball player before him. Unlike Lebron though who says if I'm not mistaken that he is better specially the feat that he come back from a 1-3 deficit against the Warriors and won in the finals.

But in any case, this is going to be a ongoing debate, even those so called analyst and players have disagree at some point as who is the GOAT. Those who have seen the era of MJ tells it's him, while for those who have followed Lebron or watch him play argues that he is the GOAT.

I started to hate Draymond with his actions against Poole.

And with all of these comments from other NBA players about how they play, he should just keep his mouth shut.

Maybe that's why he's never get traded and the Warriors are keeping him and not just about how physical he plays but also as an attack dog.

Well Draymond is Draymond, They are the NBA favorite they let GSW have their on way multiple times for the span of years, the moving screen, the fouls that is out of this world the refs, they all get away with it, they protected curry, but every players has to be traded when the time they no longer needed dray he will be traded for sure, they are just waiting for someone to offer for dray, and they will let them go, Poole should been a great second scorer they just like dray better.

That time might come to him that he gets traded and he'll know about that.

And I think that he's near to retirement if that happens or if not, before he gets traded, he'll retire.

We don't know but he's not a likeable player but good thing that he's got some good teammates that brought him some chips.
