2025 NBA Season

[boyptc]

We've got some how news, Westbrook is being considered to let go by the Thunders.

Do you think they will let him go?

I think it's about time for Westbrook to leave or at least trade by OKC. He is still at the peak, very athletic but he is more of a statistical guy. He can't deliver even with Paul George around it. OKC should shop and look for a better trade and rebuild OKC now.

The management is the one who is thinking of trading him. He needs a good team and I think you're right with that because this guy has been trying hard although he's not left with his past teammates.

But I think time will come that the spotlight will be pointed on him.

He will be traded I guess, that's gonna be a good decision for the team, Westbrook can only win if he is playing with a real star like Durant, now the question is where he would land, hopefully not in LA as they all have full of stars already, bring this man to the east and to the team that wants a one man show.

Do you think Kawhi should be called the GOAT if he wins another title in a different team?
That will be his third team and if he does win this question will really pop out.

I would be biased here  , Michael Jordan is the GOAT for me even if Leonard will win a championship next season. The guy is admirable but he has yet to proved that he is the GOAT.

A lot of debate about this matter for years and years and it will not stop. Everyone has their own meaning of being the GOAT, stats, records, championship, MVP, being a player, there is a lot. Also, we don't need to compare past players to new players since all of the players we have right now is the improved players based on the plays and games they've watched in the past. They've improved, rules changed like the hand-check foul. If there will be a GOAT, there will be one with every season or every era.

He deserved that title if he would able to make that team to either get into finals or get that championship trophy on

next season and with those line up are definitely the defensive ones with corresponding good offensive too.
West powerhouse teams are scattering on the field,we are all surprised how these rosters is possible.

I'm sorry to disagree. Him being the greatest of all time just because he won another ring with a team?

He is an elite basketball player but I would not consider him the greatest yet. He did accomplished a lot already, and he needs more if he wanted to be the "G-O-A-T".

At the stage of his career, I have qualms of tagging him as the GOAT. Of course being the GOAT is debatable, but it is too early to say that he can be mentioned in the same breath as Jordan or even Bryant. So let's see how he and Paul George will do as a tandem in Clippers uniform.

Well you got some point here and the other member said above and being GOAT isn't only be pointed out easily but it would be

needed for the entire basketball enthusiast to recognized such spot.I cant see on him to level with Jordan or Kobe but all of things do have the perfect time.

Not yet a GOAT for me, but sooner as more achievement he will get, we can call him as GOAT.
He won the championship without much stars playing with him, therefore I believe his chance with the Clippers to win a championship is bigger compared to the Raptors. Lebron is already a GOAT but he is not getting any younger, It's Kawhis time now if we are looking for a complete player who can carry his team alone.

[Reid]

Got some good answers from all of you about Kawhi being a GOAT.

But let us face it. Not every player can win the Most Defensive Player and also an MVP. Jordan is the one who did that to put it in records that he is not just an offensive player. Kawhi did also.
I am very keen to players who shows great defense and I saw that in Kawhi. Neither Harden nor Lebron does that. They are the guys who will do defense just when they want it too and not in every play.

For me, Kawhi will be second on my list after Jordan. But that is just my opinion. I know everyone have their own when it regards to the Greatest of all time.

I think the addition of Danny Green made the difference here. They got a decent starting 5 in James, Davis, Kuzma, Green, Rondo. Let's just hope LJ and AD's egos won't clash everytime they lose games.

I'm pretty sure they learn from their experience already, they are not just the only super team in the NBA, and both have a bad season, low performance compared to the previous seasons they played, so probably they are not too confident now.

[Question123]

2017 and 2018 the year was the Goldent State warriors are the NBA champion but in the year 2019 the new NBA champion is the Raptors.  I wacthed the game and I amaze how the Raptors become unitef as a team. Lets ser who team is the next champion because I see more teams will become stronger next year and Im very excited to see who's next.

With that lineup the competitive visions will be there, LeBron and AD will be guide this team the leadership needs to be combined and not to be collided, with Kuzma Green and the veteran Rondo, this will be an interesting superteam to be formed this season.

The Lakers has been so long since the last title Kobe brings to them, it's about time for this new team to bring the old glory back.

Man, this line-up is a championship contender. If no injuries to all of these players, WCF is the least that they can achieve. Great sacrifice for DeMarcus Cousins as he will be a back-up center for AD but good move since they are now a legit championship team.

[Janation]

Leonard is very unpredictable, but I like to predict based on his current move. I think he wants to make history and want to win championship in every team, I expect him to demand for a trade after they win the championship next season. 

I can hear his laugh though.   

I never thought that he will be signing to other team. I read an article and I was shocked that LA Lakers are also considering him in, Clippers might be his choice. Talking about Clippers, Doc Rivers is the coach of the team, Leonard and Paul George are said to sign in that team. The problem here is that PG is dating of Doc River's daughter in the past but he cheated and even impregnated a girl in a party. This is so awkward for them but I want to know how will this awkwardness unfolds.

Too much bigs for the Lakers, I think they need more outside consistent shooter so they will be unpredictable.
With a small line up but good shooters like the Warriors, I doubt they can compete much especially with Thompson and Curry who really shoots the ball well.

Just those two trades are so damn good. I also read a Facebook post about Kawhi.

https://www.facebook.com/basketballforever/photos/a.216249391739074/2734291993268122/?type=3&theater

Damn. If this how Kawhi really plays the league, it is really amazing. I don't know though is this is real or he is aware of what is happening but damn! Kawhi is a monster, someone stop this guy!

Also read that as well, and I was amaze thinking how he manage to do that, but I don't think all that was written is really his intention.

[FlightyPouch]

It was a shocking news that Leonard and PG signed contract with the clippers. Anyways, it was a good decision since it would bring balance to the NBA. West would be a great battlefield for powerhouse teams and I think talking about the warriors, they might not be able to go back to be a championship contender this season.

Clippers immediately became a playoff contender with this 2 trades that they made and to be honest, I didn't expect this to happen especially PG13 to Clippers. I think they just need a good bench right now because they got good players already + a veteran coach in Doc Rivers. Warriors?? I'm not saying that they will not be in the playoffs next season but they will not be as dominating as they are in the last years. Different team will dominate right now in the West.

Just those two trades are so damn good. I also read a Facebook post about Kawhi.

You are right! GOAT title would be passed up from era to era.We wont know on whose next but we can already foreseen on whose

the strong candidate but still a long way to go and a little bit more proving of his plays but lets see.

A must thing to be have but with that line up then i do see that they can compensate on whats lacking and heck they can shoot outside of those lines.Its just a matter of play execution either defensive or offensive.I didnt expect to see Green and Cousins on the team.

[Daniel91]

For real success in NBA you really need someone who knows his job very well, someone like JERRY WEST.
He was great player in LA, NBA champion in 1972.  but had bad luck that at that time Boston was untouchable.
First as a player, than as manager, he helped LA Lakers to win 5 NBA titles.
He brought great players to LA like Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal and built great team.
Than he chose Memphis.
Four years later he joined the Golden State Warriors and helped to bring Klay Thompson and Draymond Greenn.
With his help, Clippers have become the main candidates for the NBA title.
Everything that this man touches turns into gold.
