2026 NBA Season

[Shinpako09]

The Bucks didn’t accept the Warriors’ offer, so the Warriors are now out of the Giannis trade picture. Fans wanted Giannis, but they got Porzingis instead. They exchanged Kuminga and Hield for an injury prone player. They also traded TJD for a second round pick. They are just wasting Curry’s remaining years in the league. Another opportunity for Curry’s fifth ring is gone again. Actually, Porzingis isn’t that bad but only if he stays healthy. But if I were the management, I’d rather get Kawhi instead of Porzingis.

They still have Draymond and Jimmy they can try to deal for Giannis, but without Kuminga a deal does look near impossible. So maybe Giannis doesn’t get traded by the deadline and does a sign and trade to join the Lakers after the season ends? Or is a Miami trade looking possible in the morning? We’ll see.

Another injury prone player? He might fit with the Warriors but I don't think he's that different from Post's game who tries to be behind the paint rather than get to the paint plus he's getting old too. It's probably what they can afford and probably the Bucks are asking for too much that the Warriors is thinking twice. If Kristaps stays healthy he's a threat especially outside but as I've said, there's nothing much difference with how QP and KP plays.

Rockets were favorites in Celtics game but Boston Celtics literally destroyed them.
Celtics played great defense and their 3 point shooting was amazing. They finished the game early. Houston played very bad again. KD started the game too slow and Alperen had a hard time because 3 players defended him every time he went to the basket. It is clear that Rockets need a playmaker. Alperen is getting too tired and the coach keeps him on the bench too long so he gets cold.

After those trades they have done? I think their chances to acquire Giannis became so low. Crazy that they think about getting an injury prone player since this is not helping them and might just create a serious problem on their roster.

But also I don't think that Lakers have asset to use for this trade, so most likely Miami,Wolves or Knicks got more chance to make this deal to happen. So let's find out if we can see more surprising updates.

I used to say the Clippers would play in the Play-in, even the playoffs, but I don't think that will happen anymore. The regular season will end for the Clippers.

It really looks like it, losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers by 30 points at home is just painful to watch. I honestly thought Kawhi Leonard was coming back to life when they had that win streak, but it’s clear now he can’t carry the team alone. He still needs someone who can score consistently beside him.

Losing James Harden was huge, no doubt about that. Still, I’m hoping the LA Clippers can figure things out somehow and at least make it to the play-in or playoffs.

Doesn't make sense to get Porzingis, as they have Al Horford, Post as their center, adding another injury prone player, it could be a bad trade for them. I used to be a fan of TJD before, when he started to play with the Warriors. But I don't know what Kerr put Post above him and so he does fall into the rotation and was not given minutes to play. Same with Buddy, he started great but then wasn't inserted into the game when he was needed.

I don't know but maybe it's time for Kerr and the Warriors to part ways with him. He is no longer the coach that used to be when he had a lot of great players and winning rings. Now he has a hard time and perhaps make the wrong decision specially in close games. I know this might not sit with others, but this is how I see it.

Houston lost to Boston 93-114 at home. Scores like this can happen, but Alperen being ejected from the game for calling a female referee a "whore" was completely unacceptable. I don't know what kind of punishment is given in the NBA for such situations, but he behaved very badly. Perhaps he said it under the pressure of the score, but it's still not acceptable.

He is performing very poor lately since he is not moving like a center anymore instead a forward while he is not good on ball handle most of the time. He is always being stolen while driving since he is very slow on his ball handle.

Rockets is struggling because they are playing individually without any solid teamwork unlike before.

They are strong if they will just let go on aiming a higher stats individually and play as a team.

[emrecemsan]

I really don't know if it is a good trade for Cavaliers to bring Harden... Mobley and Mitchell are already making $46m a year. Now they are paying $39m a year to Harden as well.  

He is already 36 years old now. I know he was having a decent season at Clippers but let's see how much he'll contribute to Cavaliers. They got Keon Ellis and Schroder also while sending De’Andre Hunter to Kings. Was this a good move though?

[Fredomago]

Trading Harden when everything was going well wasn't a logical move at all.
After he left, the Clippers started losing.
Kawhi and Harden were carrying the scoring load for the team.

In the game currently being played, the Clippers are heavily losing at home against Cleveland.
Harden is not on the court for Cleveland due to injury, but he will contribute well to Cleveland's scoring in the upcoming games.

I used to say the Clippers would play in the Play-in, even the playoffs, but I don't think that will happen anymore. The regular season will end for the Clippers.

Last week the discussion is more on clippers good run and their chance to reach the play-in but now, the trade happen and Harden left it's difficult for Kawhi to single carry the team in terms of offensive arsenal, with Harden they are sharing that loads but now they are having difficulty filling that spot that Harden left, let see if how Garland will help once he start playing for his new team, if he'll be able to work along with Kawhi and the rest of the Clippers squad.

Everything boils down to Kahwi now to lead the Clippers to the playoff as he will need to take his game like he was with the Raptors. But speaking of James Harden, I don't know but he has this history of asking trades of everything is not falling for him, he has done this when he was with Houston, in the beginning, he was leading the team and almost goes to the finals if not for the Warriors. When everything crumbles down, requested a trade to the Nets to be with Kyrie and Durant. But the same thing happens so he bail out and goes to Sixers and then to Clippers and now to Cleveland. He has this history so I don't know if the Cavs is the last team that he will go. But him and Mitchell who's know for being a choker in the play-off? Not expecting them to go as far as the Eastern finals to be honest.

This is the problem what Clippers need to bare and with Harden's departure their position now in play-in will became more harder. I feel bad for Kawhi to get left behind in this situation, since if Harden just stay intact there chance to advance became more bigger.

But Harden is selfish and he secure his self firs to go on playoffs while leaving he's crew behind. This situation happens show that Harden is not a good teammate, but still Garland is a good player and for sure he's still a good addition on Clippers roster.

[Beparanf]

I'm not sure who really benefits from the Anthony Davis trade. Wizards may be in loss by giving up draft picks. They still won't make the play-off with this roster. I don't think they can achieve much next season even with a healthy Trae and AD. The jokes about the Mavs trading Luka for Khris Middleton were funny. Nico Harrison's decision will be remembered for years.

Anyone who will get Anthony Davis is the real loser on the trade while the team can get a good value from AD trade is a sure winner.

AD is already aging while his health never has any improvement ever since he is on Lakers after getting the championship. It’s dumb to risk more on AD in the long run since his body will just getting weaker.

The only way he can avoid being injured is to put him in bubble wrap while playing.

so it really happens yesterday there are some rumors that garland will be traded, today it happens, this is a big boost for the Cleveland in the east, while on the other hand Kawhi need to carry the clippers on his back, but he has injuries and i don't think that he will be healthy this season because those injuries are reoccurring, there has to be someone need to support him, garland can score but I'm not sure if he can carry that in the cleveland since lue has different playing style or strategy, what is it now for lebron if he comes back in cavs next season or this season?

[MinMan]

Austin Reeves is finally back in the lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers. He scored 15 points in 20 minutes of play in the Lakers victory over the Nets. LeBron led the team in scoring with 25 and Luka got 24. A rare night LeBron shot better than Luka from the field and outscored him.

They needed him a lot, and the reason why Lebron played better than Doncic (or at least more efficient) was the fact that he is playing with reaves.

I mean Lebron is a playmaker more than he is a scorer and saying that about someone who scored more points in the NBA than anyone else is a magical sentence and yet it's true. So people realize there is now another scoring threat, who is Austin, so guarding Lebron is hard. If you guard Lebron hard, he will pass to Doncic or Austion, if you do not guard him hard then he will score.

Reports: Warriors deal Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield for Kristaps Porziņģis
https://www.nba.com/news/jonathan-kuminga-kristaps-porzingis-trade

For me, it's like a forced trade. The Warriors actually lost in this trade because Kristaps is an injury-prone player. But, they have to let Kuminga go, and I think some of their salary cap space, so Buddy Hield should go too, so they can free some space.

Washington receives:

Anthony Davis
Jaden Hardy
D’Angelo Russell
Dante Exum
Dallas receives:

Khris Middleton
AJ Johnson
Malaki Branham
Marvin Bagley III
Two future first-round picks
Three future second-round picks

This trade is where I am focused more. The Washington Wizards suddenly have a good roster with veterans after the trade. All they need is to put more young players and surround Davis with guards who can help him become a superstar again. Maybe 1 more center to cover when he rests or is injured. I am looking forward to what they will achieve next season. I think this will be the biggest move the Wizards have ever made.

You can't get a lot of juice with Davis this day, he's already ready to go, its just a matter of time, I'm not expecting him to stay long or i mean to be a force inside, the guy is so injury prone, i think the Washington should trade him and get another picks not players just to prepare for the coming season, I'm not seeing the Washington to be a contender in 1-2 season, so they need to accumulate assets for a good or star player in the market in the coming season

His value is based on paper only and with the assumption that he will be healthy in the future but if teams will be realistic on AD health condition I believe no should accept a trade involving him especially if you will lose a lot of 1st and 2nd round draft pick in the process which is way better to bet in the future compared to AD health.

I doubt that AD can still dominate the league even if he come back in full health again since many player can already guard him while his game is now being careful to take a lot of contact.

[Webetcoins]

Ja Morant needs to leave asap, not next year, not summer, he needs to leave asap.
Because that team is now officially tanking and rebuilding, and there is no place for a player like him on that squad.

He can't go to a team that is fighting for a title right away, that would be not possible, but he can go to a team that is working towards being better in the future, like a young team that has a future. I do not know who that could be, I mean it is not an easy choice but it needs to happen right now.
