2027 NBA Season

[Questat]

LOL, no shxt. Which other team would EVER consider having Bronny on the roster (if not a package deal with lebron). Nobody would be that stupid and waste a valuable roster spot on this guy (and his salary). Once LBJ is out of the league Bronny will be gone as well. His talent, at least at the moment, isn't even enough for a solid European team, or China or anything. The only asset he has is his name and family, which would still open doors outside of the NBA.

In the first place, he shouldn’t have been drafted, honestly, there were better players than him. But because of his father, he ended up on the same team, and it kind of makes sense. If he played for another team, he probably wouldn’t have much relevance anyway.

At least with the Lakers, they can make a storyline out of it .. father and son playing together.
But TBH, not sure how long that’ll last, either LeBron retires first or Bronny doesn’t get re-signed once LeBron’s gone.

Bronny is like Thanasis. At this point, the only difference is that other teams would choose Giannis over LeBron. One reason is because Giannis is younger and still has a lot to offer. He’s still dominant and averaging a double-double. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bronny doesn’t even get a minimum offer once LeBron retires. After all, business is business, and teams know they won’t gain much from Bronny unless he really improves his game this season, but with his limited playing time, nah, I don’t think so.

The Houston Rockets defeated the Utah Jazz 140-127 in Game 2, with Kevin Durant leading the scoring. Despite being 37 years old, KD, still playing at a high level, continues to carry his team. Our Turkish delight, Alperen Şengün, also made us proud with a double-double of 13 points and 13 assists. I suspect we'll be hearing a lot about these two this year. The biggest problem for Houston will be VanVleet's injury. They'll feel his absence.

This is just a preseason and they are against Utah Jazz that already shuffle their main roster and remove the key players. Utah Jazz is on rebuilding phase now so they are not a team that will give Rockets with Durant a real challenge.

KD is still one of the best forward in the league even last year so it’s not surprising that he will lead Rockets since this is what to be expected to him since Rockets trade their previous star player for him.

Anyway, real challenge for Durant is always on how he can carry the team on playoffs.

I forget who he was talking to but there’s a great clip out there of him trash talking a rookie who tried to talk to him. It’s funny because these young kids get into the league and want to chat with their idols only to end up getting flamed by them. Kevin Garnett used to be the best at doing this. He’d make people cry.

Yeah, we've seen clips of a rookie Jalen Green trying to trash talk Steph Curry, or even Jalen Brown, but then Curry buried both of them with his outside shooting. So lessons for his young guys is not to trash talk elite players as they known what's coming for them.

Good to see that Durant is still an elite player even as his age and the wear and tear on his body. I guess he was inspired and motivated again to play with a young team and becoming their franchise player to go on another playoff and at least step into the second round.

He's motivated to chase more rings.

And having a set of young players is making him more encouraged to do so because he sees the chances.

Sengun is more of the franchise player of the Rockets but, when he's there, I guess that's what it is.

I don’t really agree with that. I don’t think KD is motivated to chase more rings anymore it feels more like he’s just doing this for fame and money at this stage of his career.
The hunger and drive he had when he joined the Warriors or even early in Brooklyn doesn’t look like the same now. It looks like he’s just maintaining his image and cashing in while he still can same.
If we have to says that who is more motivated for chasing ring right now in that kind of situation is no other than Lebron James.

I was curious if the images that I am seeing on social media is true about KD telling Ace Bailey about how new he was or there's sort of argument during the game. I don't know what actually happened as I've missed this game.

37 might be quite old already in the NBA but KD is still fit. His height plus that weight really makes him versatile and can still play well. To be honest if I see him on the court, I'm thinking about some injuries that might come to him with that kind of physique.

More on cashing out decent amount of money by maintaining his position, KD knew that he still got something to offer and keeping that statue will continue to bring him decent offers, though for sure there's a part of him that also wanted to chase for the title and having a decent sets of teammates which is really competitive this season it's not going to surprissing if they managed to move forward.

Too early to conclude we may see more adjustments and more exciting performances not just from KD and the rockets but to every team who have the desire to win the title.

If he doesn't want a ring then he might good staying at Phoenix Suns. But he did move out because maybe the environment there is not for him. And this what separates great players, they want more, not just for the fame and money, it's the NBA ring that define them.

So we have seen Durant on his game with the Houston with a different attitude. Hope that he can maintain that aura throughout the regular season games. If he is not motivated to chase another ring, then it's too bad for the Warriors for getting him as that very expensive price.

The funny thing about Alperen is the fact that when you hear him do double double, you wonder if it was with rebounds or assists.

In fact, if anyone in the world ever does (I am sure it has happened before) a double double without points, just rebbounds and assists, he could be the one who could do something crazy like that.

But I am still not convinced about the KD trade, while KD is obviously without a doubt the best player they could have hoped for and amazing superstar, dude is old, and he can help them this year, and if lucky next year, but how much more? They lost Jalen Green on that deal, who was much worse than Durant without a doubt, but had 10+ years of playing in him at least, if not more. So, that's a bit questionable trade.

Well, with Rockets that's a reliable young guys tbh and I think he's more inspired right now and probably that aim for a ring is right at the door step. Yeah we know KD seems to be hook with fame, money and girls irl but I think having a ring with these guys will nail his legacy even more. They're definitely a playoff contender right now tbh, it just needs good execution and hope they wouldn't be slap with injuries.

Even KD want to chase the ring he cant do it, He cant lift the team up, he needs superstar around him to make it. He got those but did not manage to do it after the GSW.
The best thing he got why he is still at elite level is his shooting, But he is fragile now and aging.

LBJ might be chasing a ring or 2 but if that happen that is just a bonus, He holds most of the record now and even at his AGE, he is p[roductive not just in points but all over the court.
Most players when reached that age slows down or cant produce stats like he is doing. He still average almost the same now compare to his prime.

Bronny is like Thanasis. At this point, the only difference is that other teams would choose Giannis over LeBron. One reason is because Giannis is younger and still has a lot to offer. He’s still dominant and averaging a double-double. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bronny doesn’t even get a minimum offer once LeBron retires. After all, business is business, and teams know they won’t gain much from Bronny unless he really improves his game this season, but with his limited playing time, nah, I don’t think so.

I can't believe that I follow NBA so much and I could not make that connection, I hate myself for it . You are right, Bronny is EXACTLY like Thannasis, they are both in the league just because of their family and nothing more. Neither would have been a day in NBA if it wasn't for their family.

Bronny at least has age benefit, which means there is still a chance for him to grow and be better until Lebron retires, as we have seen he is not retiring yet, which means at least two more seasons for Bronny to get better because if Lebron is not retiring this year, then that's at least two more seasons of him. Will Bronny be enough of a player to stay in the league after his father leaves? I doubt it, but at least he has two years to prove us wrong.

Bronny didn't get much improvement and its like he's just a practice player on Lakers. I doubt he can be more better if he remain on his current situation.

If Bronny will not get any time on Lakers then yes provably that he will just go the same as what Thanasis gets on which if their main connection will go maybe this two guys will be totally out of NBA.

Still Bronny is young and maybe he still have few more years to prove us that we are really wrong with our doubts on his skills.

Bronny has an age benefit, but it doesn't seem like he's going to take advantage of it. At least based on the results of the last two preseason games, I don't see any improvement in his skills.
By the way, it's worth noting that Bronny doesn't have much time to improve his position in the NBA, as his current contract only runs until the end of the 2027-28 season, with the last season being a team option.

Or really has the skills to go on the next level. And let's admit it, he is nowhere near his father greatness. So as much as he wanted to be the next LBJ it won't happen because the height and maybe the mentality is not there for the young James.

So it might be really hard for him to go around the NBA and if there are teams that are willing to get him and developed. But let's see what goes on next, as you have said, he stil has a good contract but the real test is after that, if there will be teams that will absorb him despite not seeing potential in his game.

In my opinion, Kevin Durant is a good pair for Alperen Sengun. The big guy is not a scorer. He likes passing and just doing rebounds, and you said it. KD, on the other hand, is a pure offensive weapon. This time, he can focus on scoring without worrying about someone else who loves to score, just like in Phoenix with Booker and Beal.
For me, it's a good pair, a strong one, and they have lots of players who will do defense, so there's some balance on the team. The Houston Rockets might surprise us this season.

Sengun is young and starting to enter the prime years, he will learn everything, with Durant on his side, Durant can now shoot without thinking of the rebound, Houston team will be in the playoffs for years to come, they will be a contender in the west, but the only problem is can they finish other teams in west in the playoffs, Durant need to lead this team and be a leader, so that they will have a better chance, if Durant will be healthy its almost a guarantee a playoffs spot.
