2025 NBA Season

[Japinat]

LaMelo Ball had a ridiculous highlight from tonight’s game. I’m amazed this is the same kid from those Ball in the Family clips. He’s separated himself from the pack and will likely win the Rookie of the Year award this year. Will probably lead his team to the playoffs as well. I was definitely wrong about him.

I am really happy for this kid, I was also one of those who thought he is just a hype that his father made.
He's different and I think he want to prove something.
Even Michael Jordan is amazed at how he exceeded their expectation. Thumbs up for his great future.

Trade deadline on March 25. Drummond, Aldridge, and Kyle Lowry are the big names that are being discussed a lot.
Celtics GM Danny Ainge also offering Pistons for Jerami Grant. No details yet.
Where could this stars fall before the deadline ends?

I doubt pistons will trade Grant, he made this team better so I guess he will stay and the management will keep him.
The only interesting trade are on Drummond and Aldridge, these big man could be vital to any team that will acquire them, I'm excited.

LA's potential destination as to this article _
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/lamarcus-aldridge-destinations-five-potential-fits-for-spurs-forward-after-he-and-team-agree-to-part-ways/

1. Portland Trail Blazers
2. Miami Heat
3. Boston Celtics
4. Los Angeles Lakers
5. Golden State Warriors

All of the above are great teams, but if I would choose, I like him to play with the Blazers as that is his old team and maybe he can retire with the Blazers. Now that Blazers are already competing well despite some players are injured, I think they will become a better team with LA as an addition.

Honestly things are looking more and more ok for Nets but I feel like we need to first see that lethal line up first. Kyrie-Harden-Durant-Blake-Deandre is a lethal line up and if they all play with a well oiled machine type strategy as well, that means there is no team that can beat them, impossible to beat this team at all.

Lakers on the other hand is chasing Lamarcus Aldridge, I do not know if they will be capable of getting him or not, but if they can actually get him, that is going to be amazing team all around as well. Lebron at Small Forward, AD at Power Forward and LMA at Center would mean that Lakers would be one of the best big teams ever, not now but ever. Let’s see what happens, I really want to see a fully healthy finals of Lakers versus Nets, that would be one of the best finals for a long time because it would mean that great players will clash.

At least that win bring some good news, we can't really win all the time and sometimes games look so easy but it's the other team that will win. Denver, I can understand why Denver loss because they face the Mavericks, but the Suns loss at home, I guess that's unusual as they are even -7 against the Pacers.

Things happened when you are gambling, even you think that the team you bet with are the heavy favorite, underdog can still ruined your day.

Good thing that he still have some capital for tomorrow game and by analyzing each available games he still have the chance to recover.

Always better to take some deeper review before placing a bet or if you are unsure taking some break is also good to relax your mind and have a good visions for another day.

Just a little update on Griffin.

Blake Griffin’s timeline before making Nets debut

Blake Griffin’s much-awaited debut for the Brooklyn Nets is on the horizon. However, Nets fans will need to wait a bit longer before they see the six-time All-Star take the floor for his new team as Griffin continues to deal with conditioning issues.

According to Nets head coach Steve Nash, Griffin won’t be returning to action anytime soon (h/t Malika Andrews of ESPN):

They are preparing Blake to be fully healthy so he can be a big help in the game.
Team's not rushing him, they are enjoying what the Nets have been doing now, so there's no urgency. the only urgency is fans can't wait to see him. 

Yes and I'm one of it that can't wait for him to play. Well, if that's the decision. That's okay and they have already a strong roster and they have another one to be added which will make them stronger.
If he needs to be fully recovered first, that's okay so that they can make use of him at the best that he can in good condition.

From what i hear Lowry is linked to either Miami or Philadelphia, he already sold his house in Toronto so he will be shipped/traded somewhere, not sure how it will work out though as his contract is around $30mil, it's got to be a trade. I could see him in Miami, Dragic has been constantly injured and Nunn inconsistent, Pat Riley has shown over the years that he is not afraid to make trades. Lowry and Butler at backcourt look good to me!

Let the Nets sign Drummond and hand them the Larry O'Brien Trophy as they don't have enough talent already, lol, jokes aside, Nets/Lakers can't sign him unless there is a buyout, like with Griffin. I've read that the Bulls might be interested in trading for him, they have some assets they could offer, maybe throw a pick or two idk. LaVine and Drummond combo, id rather pass, can't see it work out.

As for Jerami Grant, i don't think the Pistons will trade him right now unless there is an offer they cannot refuse.

I would like throw another name out there that might be traded - Nikola Vucevic. He is having a great season so far, and could see him fit almost anywhere as you will get a big man that can rebound and stretch the floor. He will be an excellent addition to any contending team imo.

Heat would be a great destination for him, he could be a great point guard and would help the Heat to be better this season. Lowly is always been a good teammate though, he played well with DeRozan so I guess he can play well with Butler as well.

The Heat needs some improve if they want to be a championship contender, though they reach in the Finals last season but there performance is not strong enough to have a chance to beat the Lakers, maybe this addition would help if would happen.

[Reid]

GSW won. 
Just when I took a bet for the Jazz. It's crazy.

Steph Curry doing his normal absurd shots with the support of Wiggins, Poole, and Wiseman.
Green with triple-double again that typically says they will win the game.
I see a lot of future for Wiseman, he just needs more experience to see it.

Their great run last season could be accredited to the team's unpredictability because they caught almost everyone by surprise. They got every opponent's attention now and it won't be easy for most the youngsters that were instrumental last time to break out.

The addition of Lowry would definitely help boost this team.

Wait, so if Lowry will be traded, they will have to give up 3 players?

according to the source  : https://www.si.com/nba/raptors/news/toronto-raptors-kyle-lowry-trade-rumours-miami-heat-dragic-olynyk-nunn

"Goran Dragic, Kelly Olynyk, and Kendrick Nunn were discussed," Scotto reported.

These players were also a big help for the success of Raptors, but if the management will let them go, then maybe they know that Lowly could add more value to the team. I'm waiting, I'll wait for the trade deadline and hopefully the trade will help the Heat in filling what thy are lacking.

Lowry indeed a good back up, he always supporting his star caliber teammate,

Way back when Derozan was the star of Toronto and when Kawhai went their and bring them the title, Lowry just deal with it and didn't interrupt to any game plan, He's  a star on his own and bringing him either to Miami or Philadelphia he'll bring impact for sure, a very great addition to make the team more competitive.

Yeah, because he knows what he can contribute and he knows that this players needed his help.

And it's just a matter on how he will fit in Miami if ever he will be ship there. But I'm sure Miami will have to give some players too, so it's hard decision for them. In any case, Lowry could be a good additional to any team with his experience and leadership.

Yes, that will be a good combination. Butler cannot be the playmaker to preserve his strength if ever an ISO is needed.
Herro is not yet ready. He might learn something from Lowry if ever they will acquire him.

Let the Nets sign Drummond and hand them the Larry O'Brien Trophy

Then we can start a new season. 

As for Jerami Grant, i don't think the Pistons will trade him right now unless there is an offer they cannot refuse.

And that is why Danny Ainge is having a hard time pleasing the Pistons. They might want a bigger picture of the Celtics roster or even their future claims.

Plus lowly is the only player in the team that has won a championship (correct me if I'm wrong), once only  but it's still a big achievement for anyone. Now, if he can help the Heat to be in the championship again, I guess I would say Heat are not lucky last season, they are really good but underrated.

I see a lot of future for Wiseman, he just needs more experience to see it.

That's for sure but I doubt if he can grab that ROTY award as I see it will be for Ball or for Edwards this season though the list of the favorite wasn't that far in terms of stats. He can dominate the paint and far more than that he has shooting advantage as I see him like an Anthony Davis caliber in the long run.

In terms of consistency, I think Ball will win the ROTY award, I guess there are betting odds available now already and I believe Ball is the heavy favorites. Good thing with Ball is his team is in the playoff standing, currently at number 6 now so he really has an impact to the team.

Ball has a higher chance to get that title everyone talks about him he can also shoot some threes with no problem. Their team is also competing to keep their spot in the NBA playoffs. This will be something huge if he gets their team into the NBA Finals. Just like what happened in the NBA finals last year When Jimmy and his teammates beat the expected teams to get to the finals last year. They can do it too if they show some miracles in the NBA playoffs games.

I didn't expect that Hornets will gain a playoff spot this season honestly, but here they are, with the help of Ball even as a rookie, they have already reach the .500 ranking. We also have to consider the help of Hayward as he proved that the injury he suffered before is not a big hindrance for him to help his team.

Actually lots of role players helping the team to be successful and everyone seems happy when they are playing, it's just a different team when Walker left the team.
