2025 NBA Season

[YuginKadoya]

There was actually another video that went viral where it looks like he also ignored a team huddle call by Pat Beverley. He addressed both videos in an interview,
- Pre-game excuse: He's doing his pregame ritual so he couldn't join.
- Bev huddle excuse: He's talking to the coaches about the previous play.

Here's a more complete video where you could see him with the team before he ran to the corner and missed the huddle

Another clip that shows what he's doing before Pat Bev called for a huddle
https://twitter.com/WorldWideWob/status/1580611313528557570

Well, he has his own rituals, I think this is really not a big issue, they don't give a care about Russ is not in a huddle, but surely he didn't mean any harm Russ is trying to be Russ well let's just see if he clearly learn from last season but maybe he is trying his very best, and I think he now trying a defensive play aswell, but that isn't really Russell Westbrook if he cares so much with defense,

I have a speculation that maybe because of his attitude, team are not willing to give him at least 1 year to proved his worth in the NBA. But damn, during his prime, DeMarcus Cousins was beast and he was really huge that it's hard to stop him because of him being versatile, inside and out. And we thought that he can achieved success with the Warriors as well, but it was too bad that after he joined, some members too, got injured.

It was not really his lucky day during his Golden State Warriors Career, many injuries so there is a huge percentage that they will not get the championship, that time it was really just a stroke of Bad luck even though he did his all for that team the star's injury really is a tragedy that many teams will surely suffer, not only the Warriors,


The last Preseason game was Sacramento King VS Los Angeles Lakers but yeah we all know that the Lakers were not really winning the game, and It is OK because it is Preseason but the real game will begin on October 19, so our 1st season game for the NBA area The Boston Celtics VS Philadelphia 76ers, will definitely give what I think on the game and my pick, but for now, will be getting ready for the start of the NBA,

Looks like Jordan Poole got his bag. 140 million dollar contract extension. I wonder if this would have played out differently without the Green incident. This pretty much seals Green’s fate with the Warriors. They can’t afford to pay him what he’ll want without paying half a billion dollars in luxury taxes. Now we wait and see if Draymond gets traded, opts into his player option for next year, or is involved in a sign and trade.

Wow, huge contract for a young Jordan Poole, but honestly he deserves that because he already played like a superstar, people are calling him the next Steph Curry so it's no surprised that the Warriors would invest in him. With regards to Draymond Green, I think there's a good chance that he'll be traded because no chance now that he will get a max contract.

Let's just be optimistic that Zion is much different this time and fortunately, it was just a minor injury.

We are optimistic but some events can't be controlled and that's frustrating when I've heard it again but then suddenly turned into nothing to worry about.

I'm optimistic about him and the media and everyone's attention is on him.

Let the kid do the work because I believe he can still make a difference, he is not that prone just like the other players who ended their careers much earlier.

Yeah, moving forward and waiting for him to give some good numbers to the Pelicans.

Poole performed well last season, and it looks like the Warriors' management is well aware Poole has huge potential. So this contract extension was quite expected. At the same time, this deal might not be good news for Draymond because the Warriors are clearly hinting that they prefer Poole.
p.s.
There is news that Wiggins has also agreed to a $109 mln extension with the Warriors.

I'm thinking that probably someone has given way for him to get that contract. But yeah, the Poole fans got nothing to worry about now as he's secured with this 4-year contract deal from GSW.

There is news that Wiggins has also agreed to a $109 mln extension with the Warriors.

I haven't seen that news yet but maybe later it's going to come out as this deal from Poole has been out recently. So basically, that will be followed later if that has happened already.

Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins, both of them have good contracts from the Warriors both $140++ contract extension. That is huge for this two young players and for sure they will be the next generation.

As for Green, he already sign his contract when he sucker punch Poole, Lol. And for sure he won't get that max contract and could leave next seasons if he opt to.

[OgNasty]

A bit disappointing that LiAngelo Ball was waived by the Hornets. I’m not sure if he’ll ever be able to play in an NBA game. Watching him, he is a damn good catch and shoot player, but that’s not enough to make it in the NBA. Looks like Lonzo and LaMelo are going to have to carry the torch for the Ball family. At least for now.

[jakelyson]

Looks like Jordan Poole got his bag. 140 million dollar contract extension.

A well-deserved contract in my opinion based on how he performed last year. It is clear now that GSW is gearing Poole as their next core when the current core starts to have their performance decline.

I wonder if this would have played out differently without the Green incident. This pretty much seals Green’s fate with the Warriors.

I think, yeah, it could have been different if Green did not punch Poole. GSW could have waited for this season to finish before they offer a contract to Poole to see if he continues to have a stellar performance. But because of the altercation, GSW might lose Poole which forced their hands to offer the max extension.

I watched a video that explains that it might turn into a recurring injury for Zion because he sprained his ankle on his own. He did not step on any foot that could cause the sprain. If it is true, then we may see Zion getting injured over again unless he does something about it. He should take note of how Steph Curry solved his ankle sprain problem. Steph worked with a therapist to relieve the ankle of the stress and pass it to his hips. I do not know how it exactly works but it is worth it for Zion to explore this.

Unless Warriors management will take that half billion for taxes and let Green to get his demand.

Green's fate will be depending on how he will perform this upcoming season, but for both Wiggins and Poole they are now
secure with huge contract extension, both young and really give good help for the splash bro, GSW is again fully equipt
entering this new season, are they going to win another back to back now?

Gigantic contract extension is what you get for an incredible performance in the court. He's still young and vibrant, that means he still have more years to play games and his contract with his team is a big move for him. Jordan just hit the lotto because such a whopping amount contract for him, he's now overrated in the team as one of the top earners and Jordan will make good debut in games just to proof that he's worth the amount the team agreed with him. We are just hoping that he won't turn out to be a flop after this big contract extension for him.

This could be an elaborate plan, but maybe it is not, but it could be for Jordan Poole to make amends for the incident but I really don't know why a sudden contract like this at the start of the season, and not just Jordan Poole Andrew Wiggin is a no brainer as well, but next season they will be having a problem with the Draymond Green contract, and so the Golden State Salary could surely choke a Hippo with this so much max contract players, or yeah the Golden State Warriors will surely make a hard decision on if Draymond Green could have a max contract or leave the team,

We are optimistic but some events can't be controlled and that's frustrating when I've heard it again but then suddenly turned into nothing to worry about.

Well, let's all see about it Zion Williamson s getting better and better with 1 steal from a preseason game against the Chicago Bulls, Steal this is the Preseason but surely he is showing that he already return in good shape, I think the New Orleans Pelicans have got themselves a great diamond from those rocks they have,

Unless Warriors management will take that half billion for taxes and let Green to get his demand.

I feel sorry for Draymond Green I really feel that he is doing great with the defense that the Warriors need, and he is the only Center positioned player that can put threes with the most accuracy, seeing the records, that is why he might really feel pissed off, he really thinks to himself that he has given his all with the distraction for some teams, as the main defense of the Warriors, but it was really not enough and because of the incident he needs to show to the team that he is the player they will be needing to those plays that the Warriors have establish with him,

Yeah, he might be traded because the Warriors' management choose to give Poole a good contract than giving Green a max contract.

4 years contract, that's  $35 million per year, higher than Draymond Green which only making $25 million this season.
I wonder how he is feeling now, a young player getting bigger salary than him, and how about Andrew Wiggins contract extension, what would be the effect?

[danherbias07]

@Dave1, I think attitude is ok, having said that, he is 32 years old and, to be honest, it is easy for him to get injured because of his age. Therefore, I highly doubt that the Denver Nuggets will give him a second chance.

I think so too. He was not on the headlines about making a fuss in Denver Nuggets. He was just there, playing at his best and contributing to the Nuggets while they are fighting in the playoffs. He actually did a great job there. I think he is old enough to know what he did back then was all a mistake and he is trying to straighten it out.

Looks like Jordan Poole got his bag. 140 million dollar contract extension. I wonder if this would have played out differently without the Green incident.

I doubt that.
If that didn't happen it will be a different ending. Maybe it will be Green who will get the contract extension instead of him.
Perhaps they investigated it deep and heard other things from his team mates.

[stadus]

Reports said that it is just a minor injury, so finger crossed, and hopefully we can see him when the regular season starts. The team is exciting to see with him around, last year, we thought that they will have a bad season. But Ingram pushes them and so with Zion back in the line up, we should expect the Pelicans to be on the upper side of their division. Yes, he is not that prone to injury, he is just super athletic for his body that it really did take a toll on him. But he has slim down already and that is a good indication that he is very serious to make a huge comeback.

That's good, well, last season they have a good run despite not having Zion, so we can expect that at the start of the season they will be one of the top teams in the West. Getting in the playoffs again with a healthy Zion, for sure they'll become better and we might see them a great contender in the West.

Zion's ability to dominate inside is very big especially now that Ingram is very confident already with his shooting and attacking the paint.

For sure Green has heard about it and could be working for his own contract extension, a max if he can. But then again in the recent days we have seen what he had done not just to Jordan Poole but to the rest of the guys in the team. He might be feeling shit right now after hearing both Poole and Wiggins have sign for a huge contract. So we might as well see Green in other teams. We've seen others speculated that he will play with Lebron at Lakers but we will see.

There are many teams to look forward this season and the Pelicans are one of them. Zion is back and trimmed down but he still big and heavy. I agree, if Zion will persevere on cutting the weight prescribed to him, he can reach to his full potential. His awareness and IQ are remarkable.

My guess on the Pelicans supposed they remain healthy the whole season is to take the sixth to tenth spot in the western conference. There are too many young talents in the team. They need to be together in a playoffs experience in order for them to grow.

There is absolutely no way that Draymond Green would get a max contract, I am not sure if the owners even wanted to pay him that much, but with this move I am sure that they will have an excuse to just say that they do not want to pay him that much because he is a player that causes trouble in the team.

I am not saying he is going to get a veteran minimum, because it may not be that low, all because of he won so many rings with them and he was part of a great group, but just because he was good back then, you can't give him a max contract, that would be too wild. Just imagine having curry+klay+poole+wiggins already, that's good enough, so green has to take more like 20-25 million at most, that's good enough for him.

That's the only amount the Warriors could offer, so it's either he will be traded and wait for the contract extension to get a max contract, or he will stay with the team still thinking about what happened that Poole got that huge contract after he punched him in the face. Green is a trouble maker, that's why he is called as a dirty player, but against his teammates, that's unacceptable.

Agreed he is on the wrong side of a max contract.  He isn't getting better and will be on the decline shortly.  I know you have to overpay sometimes but giving him a max contract would choke out any flexibility gs would have for the next 4 years
