2026 NBA Season

[püsür]

Yes it is Giannis Antetokounmpo’s brother Kostas, who used to play for the Lakers and won championship in 2020, has now signed with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook still doesn’t have a team, eventhough the new season is about to start. There are  some reports saying he could earn more money if he plays in China than playing in NBA this season..

What do you think if you were the one making the decision lol, would you rather sign the Antetokounmpo brothers or have Westbrook on your team? I feel bad for Westbrook for not getting Championship in his career.

Sometimes I really wonder where your infos are coming from.  Kostas Antetokounmpo is still playing for Olympiakos my friend. The brother that got signed recently to the 2 way contract was Alex Antetokounmpo, a guy that was signed in the NBA 3 times and got waived within less than a week 3 times.  Never played one second in the NBA and never significant minutes in any professional team. Just a pity nepotism signing.

Kostas Antetokounmpo actually had a decent Eurobasket performance. I thought he could play in the nba actually even without his brother's influence. He is a decent blocker and good rebounder(as far as I saw). Alex Antetokounmpo on the other hand is a total unknown. A weird decision I think. How can teams just let that happen? I know Giannis is an important figure in the team and the whole nba but these things cannot just keep happening. I hope Alex is the last brother and there is no younger Antetokounmpo so we don't have to see this again. I would really understand if it was Kostas but Alex is kinda ridiculous.

Those Wemby highlights from the last couple of days are absolutely insane.  He isn't supposed to be that skilled and strong at his size.  He's bullying people in the lane and dunking all over them like he's Shaq in his prime.  If he continues getting stronger and can find a way to stay healthy, he might end up being the most dominant player in NBA history.  Shaq with more size, speed, and can shoot the ball.  He's like Hakeem Olajuwon with a few more inches and chip on his shoulder.  I'm actually shocked at his progress this offseason...

The Bucks really have no plans of making Giannis away as he said that if things aren't working anymore, he's free to make any decision of finding a new place to stay. The Bucks know how to make Giannis say yes to him staying with the Bucks. Now, they're all going to make money from the team, they play together and become rich together.

I don’t think it’s surprising anymore, he was already balling even in his rookie year. As he spends more time in the league, he’ll keep developing just like Jokic, who’s been incredible these past few years. Wemby just needs to make his body stronger to avoid injuries, because that’s really the only thing that could slow him down. With his size and shooting, no one in the league can really stop him.

@passwordnow Do Giannis still have brothers not yet in the NBA?

@passwordnow Do Giannis still have brothers not yet in the NBA? 

Yep, Giannis has two other brothers who aren't currently in the NBA, namely Kostas and Francis. Kostas previously played in the NBA, but his stats were even worse than Thanasis’s. On the other hand, Francis is actually a musician, although I don't think that's a problem for the Bucks.

Crazy if Bucks would push to sign them right just to make Giannis decide to sign back in Bucks. This is provably one of the crazies thing will happen in NBA history.

But I think they should do more better if Giannis have plan to leave then they should allow his request. Maybe better for them to build their team again and try to have new player added on their team since maybe with this Bucks would get more solid result. Giannis is really a extremely good player but if there's no further interest to play on their team, I guess they would start to have a problem with that thing since maybe chemistry and other things might come up that can affect their team negatively.

I hope tehre will be non 1st 5 ever with same surname at theiir jersey ?
Bucks know how to make theiir superstar make happy and Giannis know how to demand from the bucks.
This is a sign that no matter what the team will keep their key player as long as they can. Lets see what will be the next bonus once the contract expires again.

Can we expect them to be signed by the Bucks and be part of the starting five? Lol, just kidding.

But honestly, that’s what superstars can do, they can bring their family along as part of some “unwritten deal.” Giannis pulled it off, and I just hope he’s satisfied and focused on leading the team back to another championship. What do you guys think? With the current Bucks roster, is that even possible? In the NBA championship futures, they’re at +6000 -  that’s massive. Even a $100 bet could return a huge amount if they actually pull it off.

The NBA is rumored to be announcing a season long suspension for Amen Thompson today after his fight yesterday. Another major blow for the Rockets who already lost their starting point guard for the season. Suddenly Kevin Durant is probably feeling like he didn’t make the best move heading to Houston.

If the Bucks has to take them both for Giannis not to go away, I guess that's their last resort. I only knew Kostas being out and plays for the other league now but if it takes Francis to be one of them just as a bench player, they might have to do that for being desperate. LOL.

It's too early to say but this line up that they have are all tall and let's still see how the actual season starts.

On the other news, it looks like that Russell Westbrook got a contract with the Kings.

I’m glad. The rumors yesterday were that he was planning on playing overseas, which I couldn’t imagine since he’s already insanely wealthy and is trying to build on his legacy at this point. The Sacramento Kings made a good move and continue building some star power in Sacramento. That should be good for something.

That's a lot of Guards position now in Kings but I think Broody still fits there even if he's in the second unit much more if he gets to be starter which I think is unlikely. Yeah, can't imagine him playing overseas, he's probably ageing but I think he's still got that dog in him to play in the NBA and I'm glad the Kings give him that chance and should be good to probably mentor some young guys there.

He's now reunited with Dennis Schroder. They've both played for three teams, OKC, Lakers and now with the Kings. I think that he's still in the chase of his very ring. And just like Chris Paul, they're going on it despite of their age and teams still like to get them. With what I've read, Russell has also played and had a good bonding with the players on its roster and as well as the people from the coaching staff.

A little bit surprising that Malcolm Brogdon has decided to retire from the NBA after nine seasons. He just won the sixth man of the year award in 2023 and his career was less than a decade. I might have to read into this and see if he just decided he’s too old and can’t compete anymore, or if there was another reason he’s retiring seemingly young.

The 2017 rookie of the year retired before the 2004 rookie of the year…

And just wait till he hit his prime years, he really made a lot of progress in the off season and there are even reports that he is still growing. So the Spurs did a great job on him, maybe he did add a few pounds but it's not really evident because of his height and again, still growing inches.

So yeah, he is a freak of nature, he has the Shaq and Hakeem combo and he can bully any center he wants when he go down low. And then his ability to follow up his own misses with a dunk and can shoot 3's. That's really a very dangerous combination and hopefully the Spurs can really took off this season.

Much better to Stay in this league instead of showing his remaining skills overseas, in terms of playing with the Kings I'm pretty sure that he'll get his minutes and he'll be playing with his tempo, signing him is also giving him another opportunity to show that he still got something left from what he originally posses, though he's no longer as hype the way he was when he's still at his prime but giving him decent time and good game play he can still contribute, let see how the coach and management will use and maximize him after giving him his contact.

The level of competition overseas are less i mean with it comes to games played, unlike the NBA, they have to play back to back games, aside from trainings, but its good that Russ has a team now, it will be such a waste, if he will not be playing in the NBA, besides the experience he has will help the team, since, the problem with the kings are always in the playoffs, they were unable to pass through even though they have a better team, they were being overwhelm by experience team in the playoffs he may guide them, on what to do.

LeBron just came out and said that he will most likely be sidelined for another month as he wants to take it slow to make sure he is fully healthy upon his return. Seems like a possibility, he is old. It could also be cover while they negotiate a trade. Everyone is currently denying that is what is happening though.

Exactly, it's difficult to imagine him as a great contender before in MVP titles, scoring titles and probably future HoF will play overseas. It's just not his prime anymore and probably just few more years to stay in the league so it was such a bold move for Kings to let him remain in the NBA. I definitely want him to retire as NBA player. Last year with Nuggets he play decent game as role player and I think as I can remember he even play as a starter along with Jokic.

Cleveland?

I have a feeling that all these rumors about LeBron possibly being traded will remain just rumors. He has already accepted the player option for the upcoming season, which means he will earn $52 million. That is a lot of money, and not every team can afford a player with such a contract right now. In addition, LeBron can refuse to be traded under the terms of his contract.
