2025 NBA Season

Now the Nets are talking about grabbing Drummond after the Cavs buy him out. So if rumors are to be believed they’re trying to get JaVale McGee, Kevin Love, & Andre Drummond from the Cavs. I don’t think there’s any chance they end up with all three, but highly likely they get at least one.

How would they get the 3, through trade? I guess Drummond and Kevin love has a high salary, how are they going to do that with the salary cap of their team?

They will trade their 1 superstars and I think it's kyrie since there are so many fans request about it. But the one who got a high chance to snatch by nets is Javale since Cavs has so many centers already and they cannot give some good minutes to him also I don't know if they can pursue to get Drummond since he's doing a good performance recently and for sure Cavs won't trade him since he's a good piece in terms of defense. With love? Hmm maybe they have 50-50 chances to get him but let see how the negotiation happen on this trade rumors.

That's also the same question that I have, Drummond and Love are considered as valuable players.

Aside from the salary Cap who are the players that they've going to offer in replce for this Stars. but gor sure  if they'll going to acquire those Big man it will be a very competitive line up that they'll be going to form playing side by side with their trio's.

[YuginKadoya]

It was a heated battle 76ers and LA Lakers as both teams have a close score, but I think it is a big break for Tobias Harris or just a fluke? but for this game, I think he has shown great dedication and a third star in the making for the 76ers with an average of,

Tobias Harris
20.1 PPG
6.7 RPG
52.5 FG%
46.1 3P%
82.1 FT%

While Brooklyn Nets really has amazed me those 3 really work out well but I think we can still say that they still not in sync because all of them are previous superstars on their previous teams but judging by their play there is still space for improvement, while I think Hawks did a great job as well while they have kept it in an Overtime against the Nets but it still not enough.

They probably are going to trade Deandre Jordan, some valuable players must also go and the big 3 is of course not included, or... it's possible that they will let go of Irving and Durant and Harden will be the only two to lead this team to the NBA Finals.

I guess I'm going with the Mavericks here, Mitchell has been the best player of the team, when a best player of a team is out and they are playing against a playoff team, that's an automatic bet to the opponent for me. Mavericks is in a 2 losing streak, they might win this one and true they have an advantage even in the road.  Like the MAVS here!

Utah Jazz is also a playoff team. Mitchell only scored 9 points on their last game. Gobert, Conley, O'neale, and Clarkson explode on that game. Even Mitchell will be out, Utah Jazz is still a tough opponent so Mavericks should not be comfortable on that game.

Like you, I'm with Mavericks here. Been a fan of Kristap Porzingis here since his New York days.

Utah Jazz won this game.

I'm starting to Jazz and it's getting interested on their side. Lakers got 1 more lose than them which makes them to be the top 1 as of the moment on the West.

Utah Jazz already in the number 1 in the West, W10 streak and 14-4 standing, that's an impressive run by tha Jazz.

The ranking really looks surprising, Jazz is not a top 3 team in the West per betting odds on NBA Futures.

Yes.

It is what I'm saying that they're the top 1 on the current standings. Although it's still tentative and we know that it will change overtime.

But at least they get to be the #1.

Is it their first time to rank number 1 in the West? I have not seen them rank at number 1 last season. If that's so, then this Jazz is really a big deal, Gobert and Clarkson has improved a lot this season, and this team has been accurate with their 3 point shooting.

[akirasendo17]

Gobert may be energized by lots of criticism being thrown at him one is with Shaq, where he talks about Gobert salary, which may fuel his will to perform well, but it's just early to say that they have improved because sometimes, other teams are just resting for a push when its nearing eliminations, there are still other teams that are just waiting for the perfect time to push, but if this to players with Mitchell will play this types of games they have a chance at a third or fourth spot maybe.

Golden State Warriors got a nice win (123-111) against Minnesota Timberwolves. James Wiseman did a good job by having a career-high 25 points. Minnesota are having a bad season and they are at the last place in the WC. They won only once in their away games so far.

Atlanta Hawks played a home game against Brooklyn Nets last night. Nets managed to beat Hawks 132-128 after overtime. On Hawks side, T. Young made a double-double (28 points, 14 assists). C. Reddish got 24 points, 6 rebounds. J. Collins and D. Hunter both got 21 points. On Nets side, KD got 32 points, 5 rebounds. Harden made a double-double (31 points, 15 assists, 8 rebounds). Irving got 26 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

It's still better pushing at an early stage to avoid having problems taking a playoff spot.
Watch them. They are really excellent on both the offensive and defensive sides.
Clarkson pushing himself to contribute more for this team and then there is Gobert who always protects the rim.
It might just be injuries that can stop them.
Chemistry is not an issue too.

At  least i do see some improvement when it comes ball rotation.They should keep this up and make much more better a more games do pass by.

You would able to see players effectiveness if they do really play out their role without needing on soloing the ball alone.Team cooperation is a must.
Still a good game between both teams and still appreciate how Hawks managed to extent it to overtime.

What do you guys think about LeBron’s foul against Embid last night? Is Embid right to say if it was the other way around he would have been ejected? It was definitely a dangerous play and probably the first time I’ve seen LeBron do something that deserved an ejection. Seemed like he was ready to hurt Embid to avoid being put on a poster. You usually don’t see that sort of pettiness from LeBron.

I have to say the league looks wide open for anyone to win this year. I know we said the same thing last year but east being shocked by miami (which was in fact "open for anyone" means) and lakers just dominating everyone while clippers being the most favorite team to play against lakers getting their ticket home by denver really shocked the world.

People think that every team feels same in power means only the big teams like lakers, clippers, bucks or so has a chance to win, I mean it is literally any team. I could see 8th seed in any conference to go to finals, it is 16 teams to win the ring and it was like that last year, lakers managed to hold their horses whereas all the other big teams lost, so lakers got an "easy" win. This year it feels the same, I don't know if big teams will be awesome but I think every team has a chance to actually contend again.

I disagree.  I think it became obvious last year the Clippers have no chance without an upgrade to their front line, and then they lost their backup center and reigning 6th man of the year.  The Bucks also don't have what it takes to win in the playoffs.  Giannis is a monster, but come playoff time he is easily contained and lacks the support for his team to play at that high of a level.

It seems clear from the moves the Nets are making that they will be the winners of the East.  It will take them some time to get in rhythm and they still need to finish off the trade or buyout of big men from Cleveland, but I think they'll get it together by the end of the season.  Other than the years past where it was obvious that Golden State would win it all, at least we have 2 teams now that can compete, and while it is again LeBron vs (insert superteam here) I think it's far from "wide open for anyone to win."  I would feel real safe betting on LA vs BK in the finals.  I think only an injury has the potential to change that outcome.

What do you guys think about LeBron’s foul against Embid last night? Is Embid right to say if it was the other way around he would have been ejected? It was definitely a dangerous play and probably the first time I’ve seen LeBron do something that deserved an ejection. Seemed like he was ready to hurt Embid to avoid being put on a poster. You usually don’t see that sort of pettiness from LeBron.

It was also partly caused by Gasol. Embid was pushed from 2 directions, that is why he lost balance so bad to fall on his back as he did.  It was a flagrant foul. Not an ejection.

If you read my post, I state that if it were the other way around Embid would have been ejected.  I also stated that LeBron deserved an ejection.  I didn't say he was ejected.

I think trying to blame Gasol isn't right.  Very clear from the video (not so much from the pictures) that the foul was committed by LeBron.  Multiple replays and professional officials confirmed that.  I'm a LeBron fan, but if this shit starts happening as he ages as a way to protect his legacy from posters of him being dunked on, he's no better than Grayson Allen.  LeBron needs to do better and I'm sure he will, but this play is indefensible from a moral standpoint.

Watched the replay on Youtube and man, that was really dangerous.

IMO, Embiid's opinion if it was him who committed the foul, he could have been ejected is exaggerated. He think that the official only call a flagrant foul on James because of his status but forget to realized that he is too, a star in the NBA. I've seen lot of hard fouls on the NBA but seldom see an ejection.
