2025 NBA Season

[Shamm]

Steph Curry really changed the shooting in NBA. Even those big man follows him.

But you know guys, Steph just improves his own since he can't do something inside. He thinks of a way how can help a team and that is by improving his three-point skills. And the result is great so he will continue doing that.

   Yeah stephen Curry is great basketball player hes one of my favorite player who known also as a star of the game. He is also mindful to hes team on how he can help here team. And yes hes skill is not just a simple way cause ,hes skills is a strategic ability and he improve more by doing practice.

Tuesday October 19th! The start of the new season. Buck, Warriors, Nets, & Lakers all set to kick off the season with a bang on day 1. I know I can’t wait to see Carmelo and LeBron play together as well as seeing Steph and Klay together again. It will be a big day for sure. I can’t wait. Bitcoin should be creating some of it’s own excitement by then also on the way to $100K+.

Ooohh, that last statement was an explosive end.  Fingers crossed.

So long story short we have ourselves a role player money here, Marcus smart got money that he truly deserved, he was a 77 million in 4 years type of guy and he got that, every role player that is 6th or 7th man gets that kind of cash these days unless you are Nets and you are out of money after 3 stars .

He truly deserves it as one of the faces of the Celtics roster.
I think they will be going for long-term on Marcus Smart.
He is 27 now and will be 31 years old when he finishes this new 4-year contract. That's still a young age for an NBA player and that could even be the prime of his career if injury won't hit him. Having an experienced guy that is as wise as him will be an enormous kick for the young guns of the Green jersey team.

Ok, so its good the hear that the NBA is back on it's regular schedule now and all top teams are going to play day 1. I'm so excited and so is the NBA fans globally. Time to set aside sats for NBA betting again, Lol.

Yeah, those tandems are going to be fun to watch, the splash brothers are back, and then Carmelo and Lebron having playing together will be like high school time for them.

Bucks as well, Giannis and the team as defending champs and then the big 3 of the Nets.

JaVale McGee!!!
https://www.nba.com/suns/suns-sign-javale-mcgee
Suns just recently signed him in their roster. It adds more energy in the bench. Also, we remember how the Suns were having troubles looking for a back-up for Ayton after Saric was injured. This could be their guy. 3-4 minutes for every quarter just to give Ayton the breather, protect the rim and try to not make any mistakes.
1-year, $5 million. Cool.

You're probably right. If the Suns had signed him in the previous season, he would have been very useful to them in the final series, especially in defense against Giannis. However, it's worth noting that signing the contract with McGee isn't still enough for the Suns to be a contender for the title next season.

Why? They are the contender last season. I think that's enough. If Ayton will improve his inside game it will be more worth it. Last series against the Bucks he was so exhausted trying to defend everyone inside the rim. That's why Pat Connaughton had been intercepting some rebounds because Ayton was too exhausted defending other guys and unable to take a good position afterwards.
I think they should also put some players with big bodies to help Ayton. Suns already have strong offensive players. Focus more on defense.

We also forgot that when the coming of European players, the NBA change too. Dirk was too lanky when he starts his NBA career, tall, but can dribble the ball and can shoot outside including three's.

Shaq was another one, tall, and damn, so powerful that no one can stop him during his prime with the Lakers, he can dribble the ball too.

Of course, Steph Curry another one who really changes the complexion of the game with his 3 point shooting way outside of the line. James Harden step back, which everyone now is doing.

Yes, exact! With the arrival of new players from around the world to act in the NBA, each one has its own characteristics, for example Dirk with (rainbow shot), Manu (euro step) and Luka with his (improved stepback)

I remember Vlade Divac and Anderson Verajao as well, there are a lot of floppers even in the 80's and 90's. Karl Malone used to flop against Dennis Rodman and exaggerate things.

Another great example is Bill Laimbeer of the Bad Boys Detroit Pistons, just Google "The Laimbeer flop".

Even Manu Ginoblli flops. But it seems Lebron though has a long history of flopping that it really stuck in our minds, Lol. 

Wow, well remembered!

Bill Laimbeer was an expert provocateur and liked to mess.
I think that over time players evolve and create a new way of playing basketball.

Although, I think players who flopping, most of the time they are a tv show actors lol

It will excite the fans for sure. Those teams that have healthier squads have a good edge in winning their games,

They are also a good contender winning the title if they can stay fit and healthy, with those newly traded
stars, it can help to minimize or to lessen the burden of each superstar from every team.

I really love to see how Giannis will try to repeat winning another title, defending and keeping your team at the top will
surely a very tough job for him now.

October feels like a long time when you're excited to watch another NBA season with new different set of players in a notable team.
I'm kinda excited to watch Klay return to the game as well. That was quite a long time that he wasn't able to play. I don't see any notable addition to the GSW yet.
The Lakers are quite stacked when you look at the paper, but they're all veterans, I'm wondering how the Lakers manage this so many veteran talents.
What I am also expecting is a healthy Brooklyn Nets team.

No, Suns is intact last year, they have a good team chemistry, it's just that Saric went down on Game 1 against teh Bucks. And it even they have Javale that time, I don't think he can defend Giannis, maybe challenge him in the air, but for sure he will commit some fouls along the way.

Stil good move though for the Suns to get Javale based on his experience with the Lakers as a back up center for Ayton.

Here is the official schedule:



So that schedule is on fire, as we can see how Klay is, vs the Lakers.

And then we have the defending champion against the Bucks.

Also the All-Star game will be be held on Cleveland.

I guess we can't wait for the regular NBA games to start this October.

Yeah they have good team chemistry but unfortunately they are lack of courage after Bucks keep winning on their game, Maybe they should adjust to that situations and their roosters should step up towards this situation and they need to handle the pressure so that they can win the finals. Maybe we can see a different Suns next season since they add a good center which can contribute on depensive ends as well as a little much scoring.

Well, I know that they will make a move like this already because they almost win the championship already if only they have a reliable 2nd center.
Now with the addition of McGee, the Suns Backcourt will be stronger now because of him. He improved already thanks for the Warriors and he isn't the McGee years ago where he is the star of Shaq-Tin A Fool .

I just hope that the Suns and Coach Williams will make use of him more often and give him some minutes .

Beverley moving again.
Grizzlies traded him to the Timberwolves.
https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1427646798089359361?s=20

The Memphis Grizzlies are trading Patrick Beverley to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Jarrett Culver and Juancho Hernangomez, sources tell ESPN.

Some say T'wolves decision is a bad one but I disagree again. (Pat didn't feed me anything, don't worry.) I just like Pat for whatever team he drops in, they will be a playoff contender and better WCF. His defensive style is contagious and some players need that to boost their morale even on a losing game.
We will see if they really made a bad trade here, or it could be proved wrong.

[Karartma1]

Los Angeles Lakers are looking for players to improve their roster, with the priority set to find a point guard: the Lakers are evaluating Isaiah Thomas, Darren Collison and Mike James. Signing these three players is not imminent, but the Lakers intend to deepen their contacts with the athletes and their entourage.
The Lakers have 12 players with a guaranteed contract and they want to sign two more players, leaving an open spot for next season: Thomas trained with LeBron James and Russell Westbrook on Tuesday and, moreover, he has already worn the Lakers' jersey. Despite his lack of continuity in these last seasons, Thomas could be the right profile for the Californians.

[Fredomago]

Yeah, he is what we call impact players, his presence and defence in the floor can change the complexion of the game.

I think it's a fair offer from the Boston management, nothing fancy what he is worth that money for them. Not to compare on Dennis case though, he thinks he is worth more, but we all know that $80million is already too good a offer from Lakers. And it's good that Smart accepted it and wanted to remain a Celtics in the next coming years.

Perfect term! he brings impacts each time he's playing, giving more energy and moral support for both Tatum and Brown the same way Green brings to Splash bro, something that motivates you when you are inside the court.

I love to have players like that, a team can rely bringing good defense and some good plays to open up stars to take easier shots, Smart is someone that every teammates wanted to have when playing, not a scorer type but can kill opponents defense and stick on you when he needs to stop you for your offensive attacks.

Value for money, Boston take a good pick here $77Million to keep a role player that really performed his task.

Pat Beverly to be traded again, this time to Timberwolves, second time in as many days that Pat has moved.



https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1427646798089359361

Yeah, he could play PG for the Wolves and he said via his twitter that he is happy with the trade. Wolves is a young team and Pat will be a good match because of his experience and his tenacity.

He should do well with a young team as long as he knows how to convey his leadership and playing style to these players without hurting their feelings. Was it Jimmy who had a run in with a young talent which also caused his transfer to Miami?

Hope to see him happy when he already playing with the Wolves,

That team was already a good contender back then, when they still have Wiggins, KAT, DRose and Butler. But they did not maintain that squad instead, they trade those stars to another team and until now, the process of bringing good role players to work with KAT still unsuccessful. Maybe Pat may add some good spice for them.

[danherbias07]

Why do most of the players are happy when they signed with the New York Knicks? I just don't understand the idea behind it.
https://www.nba.com/news/kemba-walker-perfect-timing-in-moving-to-knicks

NEW YORK (AP) — The “Welcome to New York” signs decorating the outside of Madison Square Garden and hanging behind him were nice, though unnecessary.

Kemba Walker needs no introduction around here.

He’s a New York native who was already playing at Madison Square Garden in high school and made a memorable buzzer-beater during a historic Big East tournament run while playing for Connecticut.

Now he gets to see what he can do while playing there for the New York Knicks.

“It’s going to be better,” Walker said. “Ten times better.”

I knew Jordan loved playing at New York because of the crowd but never as an addition to their roster. It's the thrill of playing against them that makes him want to come back there over and over again.
Crowd clapping and cheering for you even if you are the away team as long as you amaze them with a record breaking game and something they didn't see for a long time.

KAT's talent can be used somewhere, he can win a championship if he leaves Minnesota Timberwolves. It's not yet late for him though, just like Kevin Love back then, he was averaging a double-double but the team is unsuccessful, however, when he transferred to the Cleveland Cavaliers, that's where he got his championship.

Lol, and pat bev tweeted "grit and grind!!!" on twitter just the other day lol, and now he is gone. Let's face it, dude is not wanted anywhere to be fair, if he was even a slightly bit of a decent player would anyone trade him for culver and hernangomez? I mean sure they are not horrific players neither but nobody decent would be traded for those two.

PatBev thinks of himself way too much and he needs to realize right now that dude is basically done, finished, he is 30+ year old something that teams move around just to not have him in the locker room with their happy players, dude would ruin that big time and a known locker room cancer when people are not as fired up as he is. I get that he plays with a fire in his gut and I get that, which is a great thing when you are a marvelous player, Kawhi is a great player and yet doesn't seem to have that, PG13 as well, give that fire to those two and you get yourself maybe the best player in the league, but PatBev doesn't have that talent at all, once upon a time he was a great defensive player but nowadays he is not even that anymore.
