2026 NBA Season

Kyrie Irving has reportedly requested a trade from Dallas at the end of the season he wants to join a championship contender next year. Rockets are at the top of his list. Durant and Udoka are close friends of his

Well see, but then it's possible that Durant might also ask for a trade.

This seems so proactive that these stars are looking for the next title of their own with a team that can potentially get it.

The franchise never failed to upset their own fans, I was in the impression that after they acquire AD and Flagg they are just waiting for Kyrie and Klay to be healthy,  a good core in papers but in reality they just pay them to wear Mavs uniform but nothing being materialize to make the team competitive after sending Luka to LA.

Seems that seeing Flagg and Kyrie playing together is no longer possible if Kyrie and Mavs management decided to partways.

Too bad that the Mavs have destroyed their momentum but, what's done is done and they'll have to rebuild it.

They still have a lot of good players there although they've invested so much that they got bad results.

They probably gave up to the injury fest of their roster and decided to just rebuild around Cooper Flagg with lots of first pick young talents that is more beneficial in the long run instead of relying to Kyrie being healthy every year.

They learned already their lesson with acquiring AD. I like this kind of rebuild especially if they have Kyrie that’s still valuable until now despite being injured a lot.

Lots of top team now are now young talent team while old era star are on the bottom rank team.

It all started when they traded Luka Dončić for Anthony Davis. After that, everything went downhill. If they kept Luka, I’m sure they would still be a playoff team right now.

Luka is not injury-prone and he makes his teammates better, that’s the big difference. Even before they got Kyrie Irving, the Dallas Mavericks were already competitive. Now they look lost most of the time. It feels like they ruined a good thing by trying too hard to change it. 

That’s accurate, I believe owner already admit the mistakes since they already fired the main culprit of this epic fail trade and they are already treating Flagg as Luka now.

They are already invested to Flagg that’s why they are willing to trade those injury prone that still has a lot of value and wait for couple year of team development to achieved a solid team.

It’s a long shot but I think that’s the right move instead of just gambling to injury prone players hoping they will be healthy in full season.

There’s a good matchup tomorrow, it even feels like a possible playoff-type game between the Detroit Pistons and the New York Knicks.

I’m not sure yet which side to lean on. Knicks are at home and -4.5, plus they’re coming off a big win where they dominated the Philadelphia 76ers last game. Both teams are well rested after the All-Star break too. If the side looks risky, I’m thinking the over might be the safer play here.

Huh? I searched and I can’t seem to find any article regarding what you’re saying. Care to share the link? The only thing I’ve seen is him skipping the rest of the season and targeting a full recovery, 1000%. Well, even if he could play now, they would be at most a play-in team and wouldn’t go deeper in the playoffs, so it’s a good decision. It’s better to rest and try to make a run next season. If I were the management, I would do the same. It’s not worth taking the risk just to reach the play-in. Right now, he is their only hope, together with Flagg, to help Dallas get back to being a playoff contender.

Finally the regular season games are about to go on from where it left. There are 10 games tonight. Knicks face Pistons at home in one of those. Pistons trashed them hard for 2 times this season by 30+ point gap in both.

But this time Knicks are favoured for the win. I think they will too but by a close margin. Another one is Clippers - Nuggets. I think Nuggets will beat them for the 3rd time this season while Jokic and Murray both are healthy.

This is a good match, home court advantage is the only thing i can say that can help a team, but in terms of line up and play. 2 teams are good to match.

Another trade to a good team? How many times he requested a trade like this and never made it? Another thing is Kyrie is very fragile which any team might reconsider acquiring his talent.

Knicks won’t allow this to be another heartbreaking loss for them. They look more composed now, winning their previous games by big margins, so I believe they can beat the Detroit Pistons here. It’s just different when the Knicks are playing at home. If they start strong and lead by double digits early, most of the time the game ends that way. That’s why the first quarter is very important. They need to come out aggressive from the start.

The New York Knicks aren't a bad team, but I think Detroit will win again. Looking at the betting odds, I think betting on Detroit makes sense; I don't see any reason for them to lose. We all know they're the best team this season, and considering the players are well-rested, I think we'll see a great game. It's sure to be a good match, and exciting. I'm starting to watch the league again after the All-Star game; I haven't been this interested in regular games in a long time

The Knicks and Pistons are the first game of an Amazon Prime doubleheader but I don’t have an interest in watching that game. The later game between the Warriors and the Celtics strikes me as a more entertaining watch so maybe I’ll try and catch that one.

Kevin Durant has always been known as a guy who had a chip on his shoulder, and even after winning titles with warriors, he never felt happy there because the whole world told him that he joined the team that had the highest win in a season record. Sure that same year Warriors also lost to Cavs, and after that Durant joined them, but they were 73-9 before Durant joined them, hence it wasn't a big title win for Durant because he did something easy.

I think that chip on his shoulder never left and this caused him to have some sort of clap backs that he wanted to keep doing and wanted to be in the talks of being one of the greatest and he never was and he hated that. He will have hard time following this situation without a doubt.
