2026 NBA Season

Paul George trade is the worst for them and I’m confused why there’s still some team that value George like he was still playing pre-injured.

His value is likely to drop and his former team just want to take the value out of him while they still can.

Anyone heard the news about the NBA investigating the Sixers?

That's normal.

But it isn't normal for a team to have these superstars miss a lot of games when they should be in there. No one can stop these injuries but they have terrible stars for their line up and this will be a lesson that they have paid for.

I dont think there is anything to investigate here.  Embiid and Paul George always miss tons of games every year why would this be any different.  In fact i could care less if teams tank.  Its a weak position to take and likely the only major US sport where tanking is so talked about.  The lottery stops some of it but in terms of the sixers i think its status quo of what ypu will see out of those 2 for the next couple years until they are both let go

If that's what they want to. Maybe they think that the 76ers now are gamblers and allowing this to happen.

But they won't figure it out because they've got valid reasons for missing those games and even the upcoming ones.

Yeah, it's tough to prove it as they've got valid reason why they can't risk those stars if they are involve into something for sure they know how to hide, they know how to work behind, maybe they already know things before they take it,  whether if it's true or not then it's only them who can tell and what the future will be for them.

Moving forward, we might see them adjusting and maybe they find the way to start winning..

The Los Angeles Lakers easily beat the Phoenix Suns by 11 today and it wasn’t that close. Luka’s domination of the Suns continues even after he’s changed teams. Durant & Booker both had terrible games and Bradley Beal was basically a complete no show. I did not think the Suns would be this bad with this roster, but I did call the end when they traded Ayton.

The crazy thing about thing the Phoenix Suns roster is that it looks like they have all needed players and pieces, it's not just working out and it's really tough to pinpoint the exact problem, they've made all possible adjustments over the past 2-3 seasons but still yielding the same bad results, the major complain last season was that they need a true point guard and they went ahead to trade for Tyus Jones. It's probably the last dance for Booker, Beal and KD, because I really don't think the franchise would stick with all 3 of them to go again next season, since this one looks like a burst already.

I took a quick look on Statmuse on how the Suns are performing in both defense and on offense.

As for the offense, they're currently ranked 8th with an Offensive Rating of 116.2. Unfortunately on defense though, they are at 27th giving up 116.4. If you're having this kind of statistics, you will really struggle. Yes, you are at the top 10 on offense, but on the other hand, you're one of the worst in terms of defense, and we know how defense still is helpful despite the league focusing more on offense. The trio of Booker, Beal and KD obviously didn't work out for them and what's worse is that they don't even have draft picks to start with. The only solution for their problem now is to trade Booker and Durant, and start a rebuild. As for Beal, he has a no-trade clause so he might stay unless he waives it and request a trade.

I agree with what you said that this might be the final season these 3 all-stars play with each other because there's no sense keeping them for one more season because you already know that it will not work it.

Wow, what a run by the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma thunder. What sad is looking through all these team rosters it just doesn’t seem like they have a ton of. Super in high end elite athletes don’t get me wrong. They’re all the best players in the world but outside a few. I don’t know it just doesn’t seem like we’ve got superstars of the past at least here in the US and the ones that are left from the past fortunately, they will be gone soon really hoping Anthony Edwards continues his assent. I think he’s the US biggest hope right now. This is making things a bit more difficult for me to bet on in the NBA since I haven’t paid super close attention I’ve been learning my lesson.

The Magic ended the Cavs run, a 16 game winning streak, with a big win in the Cavs home court. Magic didn't went away in this game as in the first quarter they are down by 13 points and then come back. And then the Cavs established another 13 point lead in the 3rd quarter, but then again, the Magic won't simply go away. The Cavs though has many opportunities to tie the game, and force it to OT but they have missed a lot of good open three point shoot.

The only winning streak we have right now is the Timberwolves with 7 and then the Warriors at 6, both are in the 6th and 7th spot in the Western Conference. And since the Lakers won their game against the Suns, they still hold the 4th spot.

And Luka continue to trash talk Booker but now he added KD as well. KD did show in the 3rd quarter but it was too late. Same with Booker at the start of the 4th quarter. But Luka and Austin Reaves put a good show in front of the Lakers crowd and so with this win, they snapped their 4 game losing skid and still holds that 5th place.

Just a matter of time now for Lebron to make his come back in the last remaining days of the regular season so that they can hold that 5th place and not going into a play-in because that will put to much stress on the team just to make the playoff.

No one expect them to placed like this since these teams are so young. Many thoughts that teams that have big stars would take ahead on standings, but both of these team has prove something that they have good shot to place on top on standings and be a title contender this season. Looking forward to see these teams to perform especially that these teams have promising future especially that we could see Cleveland and Thunder is well composed team at the moment.

I don't think Edwards is the last hope of USA since they still have Zion, even if he is injury prone but the guy is total monster if he's healthy. Maybe he just need to manage his health and he might became a big star in future. NBA is looking a replacement if those legends would retire and this young stars have capability to carry out the league.

Luka just owns Booker, period.
every time these two face off, it’s always a great game because they’re both ultra-competitive, trying to prove who’s the best.

Both Booker and Luka have been to the Finals, so they’ve already proven themselves. But Dallas had the upper hand before, as Luka’s team win most of the time when they faced each other.

However, this season isn’t looking good for either of them, as both might end up missing the playoffs.

Actually this is their stats https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/devin-booker-vs-luka-doncic-record

Booker is winning in Regular season, but in playoffs that's different story since Luka is leading in this category. But for today's game? Luka really own Booker especially that he contributes  33 pts,11 rebounds and 8 assist almost a triple double, while Booker got limited and only perform 19 pts,11 assist and 6 rebounds today.

Yeah, they have rebuild already, when it was used to be Chris Paul, Booker and then Ayton who they think is the missing link as he is soft so they traded him and didn't give him a good contract and then got Nurkic in return. But the same thing happen, Nurkic was not a good fit for the Suns and so they traded him. While they got Chris Paul, the made the finals but losing to the Bucks. And then we thought that they will deliver the next season, it was bad that even head coach Monty Williams was let go as they start to rebuild with KD and Beal.

But still it seems that the franchise can't really get the right players for the team. And I do agree, it might be the last dance for their big 3 as it didn't click as they thought that Beal could be the missing pieces. Unfortunately, the team got worst with him and now they can't trade him.

Speaking of Luka Doncic, let's look at the team that he left. 

The Dallas Mavericks are now on their 3rd losing streak. 8 losses in their last 10 games. Ouch! The sadder part is that they are defeated by a team without a star playing for it. The Philadelphia 76ers. Quentin Grimes led the 76ers team in points with some help in the rebounding district from Ricky Council IV.
What will happen to the Mavs? The Suns are just behind them by 2 wins and it's possible they might snatch that play-in tournament spot if the Mavs will keep this bad performance.

Mavs needs to wake up from this seemingly bad performance. Luka may have been thanking to be part of the Lakers now. It is considered to be one of the biggest trades in the NBA history. So Mavs should step up with their game, and show that life goes on and can bounce from those losses. Otherwise, they are getting behind from these teams.
Luka on the other hand, is giving his best performance for Lakers, which can prove that Lakers did the right decision for getting him.

Actually this is their stats https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/devin-booker-vs-luka-doncic-record

We can say, Luka indeed did a very good performance in this particular game over Booker. Well, at least, we are seeing good motivation from both camps to show us very good performance inside the arena.

And they traded Grimes too before the February deadline, and now Exum has a season injury as well. So it seems that the Mavs are extreme bad luck for this year after trading Luka. Although I see the owner says that they are rebuilding that's why they traded Luka, but still it doesn't make sense to trade their generational talent. But still they justify their reasoning of trading him.

Even if the Mavs make it to the play-in, they will obviously have a hard time with just 8 players in the roster. It's like they are not in a life line support. The Suns as well though this season with their big 3 of Booker, Durant and Beal are off and can't find that chemistry.

Trading quentin grimes wasnt bad luck that was jist a dumb trade.  I know grimes is a free agent but he is a texas kid and is just coming into his own.  Probably sign a deal like 4/80 which might prove to be an amazing contract.  Klay isnt getting younger and quentin not only can shoot the lights out he plays great defense.  Nico is just being dumb with pieces

Shocking news everyone! This notice few minutes before the game starts against the Golden State Warriors. I am really looking forward to this match today but shit happens. Some saying that Golden State warriors are lucky, but I think they can still win even with complete players today.

That's shocking.

Almost all of their stars are out except Russ. Maybe he'd be able to do that. They also got some good line up with the bench players.

I just wish them luck when the Warriors are fully packed while them are like this, we're really expecting something here but in favor of the Steph and friends.
