2025 NBA Season

[Ranly123]

Right, they still have Been and Curry combination and then some players that can really make a break out performance for them this year. We will definitely see the old Curry since KD is gone and carry the team again. They may have lost Iggy or the likes of Livingston, but they are still a team to reckon this season.

It's a Curry and Thompson combination, expect that both of them will average at least 20 points PPG in the coming season.
Thompson is well motivated now as he got a max contract for the team and I'm pretty sure that their consistent 3 point shooting will help them win more games again. They were the splash brothers who gave success to the team even before Durant, so I think people have to remember that.

Thompson is still in a rehabilitation mode from his injury, and if he will play he will most likely not in a 100% conditioned. I think that GSW will not make it to the finals this season since they are undermanned and without Durant, this team will be beatable.

Thompson will be able to play in the playoffs, so they have a chance to be in the finals again.
We've seen him injured many times and it does not affect his playing capability, the fact that the Warriors gave him a maximum contract, they know that Thompson will be able to recover easily and will be back healthy to bring the team into the Finals again.

Admit it, if Thompson was not injured last NBA finals, they have a good chance to win even without Durant..

Wanted to rephrase this. Not only Durant and Thompson were injured. I think most of their team are injured at that time. And that's what makes them lost the finals. I forgot who said this but this was the phrase (non-verbatim) "Probably the reason why the warriors didn't win this season is because of injury." Well, some of you might say that they even can't beat Toronto in regular season but Warriors are pretty much tough during playoffs.

That handicap gave them a small chance of winning during the last season.

But it's a true statement that if many of their players were not injured, they can take the trophy but everybody just have to move on and luck's with Kawhi during that time.

I doubt they will risk by putting Thompson in playoffs, dude had a serious injury and one of the best defenders in the league, in order to keep his lateral movement going he has to recover really well and I doubt they will have a big chance to win the ring this year so there is no reason to force Klay to come back and play for just 10 games or whatever he can play.

He won't be ready and just out of a new injury with no game shape at all, of course he would be better than any other person they will play but its a risk that is unnecessary if you ask me. Can they do it? Sure. Should they do it? I don't think so. Klay should relax until next season and come back fresh and get his speed up slowly at the start of the season and get better until the end of the season to make a difference in playoffs.

[Reid]

There's no much talk about the Denver Nuggets this season although they've showed great basketball last season because we haven't also heard much talk about Blazers who beat them. People are talking about the LA team which are the Clippers and the Lakers because they made an upgrade of their line up which has now become a championship caliber team.

And that is why many players do hate the media for doing that.
They are just making hypes for teams that have the stars.
They forgot about who really fought hard and made big changes in the flow of the league.
Me? I am excited to see more of Michael Malone's kind of plays. It is very unique than other coaches who just relies on speed.
More like Pops who have been one of the greatest coach of the NBA and I loved watching the Spurs too when Duncan is really hot.

Thanks to modern medicine as Klay said, he can back probably after the All-Star break. That is mid-February so I will assume he will be doing fullcourt drills at early to mid-January. There is a high chance he can play at the playoffs. No need to worries about the possibility of lack of performance as what he just needs to do is to shoot that damn ball. No need to force being an athletic on that part*.

Move on. "Chances" is still "chances" even Klay was there.

Klay knows what do more than us here. Remember that Klay's main forte' is outside shooting, catch+fake+shoot. As I said above, no need to be pure athletic on that part* if he can't really be like that again once he came back.

Come on man, let's just move on from previous season and face that it's not for them. GSW has a good run over the year but they end up being choked by the raptors. Let's just hope to see another record breaking games from the GSW if they have the guts to make it though.

Actually their play-off journey is some sort mixed with bad luck.Why? Injuries do happen on most crucial moments on that season but i cant questioned Raptors skills/ability even if GSW is on their top condition they can give out some hard fight.

Better luck next time for the team, maybe it's not for them. Most probably after they've move on there's another great moves and strategies to follow in order to avoid certain enjuries that had happened. They should be more careful and avoid frequent body contacts that triggers physical accidents.

He needs to be careful so he will not be injured again, he is more effected in shooting the ball outside as he is very consistent.
Curry and Thompson both have won the 3 point shooting, so this proves they are really good shooters, I know Thompson just trying to show and prove that he is also good with his defense and driving the ball inside, but he is not that athletic and an athlete will be prone to injury if he drives inside, like Derrick Rose style.

As for me, I'll be happy if he can shoot at least 5 3s per game, is that too much to ask?

Yeah, if it's for them, it's for them but it seems not for the last season. Everyone awaits for this upcoming season and is the roster update and changes have not yet done, right?

Who is looking to follow to the new team of K.Leonard?

Is there any news yet whether or not Melo is getting signed? The window is closing fast with just over a month before the 2019-2020 season kicks off. I was expecting him to be signed by the Nets but I haven't read anything that suggests they'll sign him.

This is the latest that I've seen about Carmelo Anthony.

https://www.talkbasket.net/52933-steve-nash-on-carmelo-anthony-hes-still-got-something-to-offer

Means that there's still no offer from any team if there will be, I'm sure that everyone would be rushing to post the source here. Looks like Steve Nash is helping Melo to take a contract, crossing fingers for Melo.

Just one of the many veterans saying Melo should be signed. He does have something to offer and I think various teams are interested on really signing him. Maybe it is the kind contract that both parties could not agree with. If Melo could agree to a minimum, I bet teams would rush to get him.

It's a two way channel that needs to workout with this signing issue for Melo I agree that if he's not asking for something and willing to adjust with minimum there's still interested team who can sign him up, but if there's problem with salary it's difficult to find team that's willing to give him a contract.

Melo's still unclear having a chance to play this season, though there's still time for him, crossing fingers.

[Viscore]

We so concern about him but he was so selfish during the time when he was still in demand in the NBA.
I've seen a video that he was the reason why Jeremy Lin did not continue his Linsanity, now the is facing a bad Karma as no team will sign him anymore.

At least Lin had his won a championship and now playing in a team outside the NBA where he is receiving a decent salary.
I think Melo has to move on chasing teams in the NBA, maybe outside NBA there are teams that are waiting for him.

[morvillz7z]

At least Lin had his won a championship

Winning a ring like that with zero to no contribution, thanks but no thanks. Playing in the finals for only one minute, rest just cheerleading on the sideline.

I'd rather have no NBA chips but 3 Olympic golds, NCAA title + MVP of the final four, 10x all-star appearances and a scoring title.

Why are we even putting Lin and Melo's names in the same sentence, that's fucking disgraceful.

Yes that is way far for a comparison.
Lin had his time and so is Melo which have been really made a lot of contribution for a lot of years. Name it, Denver and Knicks and even in Houston.
While on the other hand, Lin just did it because of the hype. Not too many Asian could make something happen. He made some Asian believe it is possible to dominate the NBA which is also good.

Now, look at how the Olympics end. So many changes already happened.
Oh and another addition, there is a league now which is being played by Asians where NBA players do play. Lance Stephenson is one example.

[Yaunfitda]

But Thompson is still injured and we might not see them play together after the all-star-break.

I have to verify your statement as I don't know when exactly he will be back.
According to my research based on this site , https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2843955-report-klay-thompson-undergoes-successful-knee-surgery-to-repair-acl-injury ..... he will be back either february or March next year, so that's still good as long as the Warriors keeps their rank in the top 8 as that will guarantee them a playoff berth.

The new splash brothers will be D'Angelo Russell + Stephen Curry. We don't know how the two are going to blend though, but I'm sure every GSW fans is very excited to see them together playing.

I'm also excited, D'Angelo Russell has improved a lot, in fact he had his first all star appearance last season, so he will be more confident now, especially that he is playing with a great team that had multiple championships.

I'm not saying that it will replace Thompson and Curry but having D'Angelo Russell in the team will bring something new in the table here. No more Durant and it's going to be Steph Curry's team once more.

He won't as Thompson is special, they could be a big 3 in GSW.

February is around all star that's why I said it he could return after the break.

Yes, that combination is new but I guess Curry should adjust again. Good thing is that he was able to do that when Durant was still in GSW uniform.

Could be big 3 who knows, all great shooting guards and almost two of them playing the same time. We might see them play together if the situation arises.
