2026 NBA Season

[danherbias07]

This is supposedly the Lakers offer to the Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo. I think it is a strong offer. I would have loved to see them accept it. The Lakers don’t need any of those pieces. Although I think Adou has a lot of potential.

Jarred Vanderbilt
Jake LaRavia
Dalton Knecht
Adou Thiero
2026 1st round pick (#25)
2031 1st round pick
2030 pick swap

Oh yeah, not bad for a rebuilding team. I guess Tyler Herro is the difference when it comes to the players who are already playing.

Speaking of Tyler Herro, the Detroit Pistons seem to be having some interest in him.
So, let's not put some future plays for the Bucks with Herro yet because there's a chance he will be on the move without even wearing a Bucks uniform. He may be excited to play for his hometown team, but if the Pistons offer something good, then he will probably be on another team in just days.

The Pistons are a strong team, but badly need shooters to keep the focus away from Cade. Herro could be reunited with his former teammate Duncan Robinson unless he is part of the trade.

Boston seems to be desperately searching for a trading partner. Jaylen Brown was upset about being offered for Giannis and wants out. That will be a big trade. Not sure who they could get for him. Maybe Kevin Durant. Austin Reeves might even be a decent candidate now that he is under contract.

I don't think that the Lakers are willing to let go of Austin Reaves,

The Lakers have given him a good contract already, becoming the richest contract for a undrafted player.

For the case of Jaylen Brown, yes, I do think that he will really be mad and by now, knows that the management is willing to let him go despite bringing him a ring. They are more on the side of Tatum, and it's no secret that they wanted Tatum to be the face of the franchise.

Good to hear that AR has gotten a max contract from the Lakers. So it means that they are looking for him and Luka to lead the team again. Hopefully, there are no injuries so we can witnessed another good season and see where they can bring the LA. At least getting into the top 3 in the regular games.

Minnesota Timberwolves are said to be going hard after LaMelo Ball to pair with Anthony Edwards. The Hornets are looking to move Ball soon and are rumored to have an interest in Gobert. An interesting trade could be in the works there. Minnesota would be a fun team to watch.

Other rumors.

Spurs trying to get Kawhi. 

Miami wants Westbrook.

This two wont fit lamelo and edwards they need to bigger player because if two sg or pg, wont work , since thisntwo have higher position rate .
So the spurs and the the claw will have a reunion? Could they bring the title this time? Or the claw still have bad blood with them?

They are moving Gobert, I think that is a bad idea because with him on the floor, their defense in the paint is effective.

If that happens, they will no longer be a Nuggets slayer and Jokic could easily dominate them in the paint.
I hope it happens though, so the Nuggets will have a better chance. I want to see them in the Finals again.

Good for spurs, maybe trade Fox for him?
And for Miami, might be a chance for Westbrook to get his first championship ring.

[wiss19]

Giannis at Miami will not be a big problem for the league, I can see that right now. With Bam and Giannis inside, that is going to be too much clogged paint and they do not have great shooters anymore, they sold the last one in this trade, so I am not sure if this is going to work out at all.

I am sure they are going to find the best way to execute, it's a good well managed team, Spoelstra is a great coach, but I doubt that this is a good fit for them, and they only did it because of the name. Giannis is a great player, no doubt, but he is not a great fit for their system right now.

If Kawhi wanted to be a good contender team, then most likely he might have forgiven what the Spurs management has done to him years ago. But what will it take the Spurs to be able to get Kawhi is the question.

For sure it will include some of their young core right now, so it doesn't make sense for the Spurs to do that since they have seen what they can done. Maybe the question is Fox as he had a bigger contract with the Spurs but it seems that the risk is not worth it when they get Fox.

Yeah right, it seems Kawhi is almost out of the picture for Spurs however I don’t see any urgency on rebuilding for Spurs line-up just to acquire one solid piece player like Kawhi.

What they only need is to trade Fox on same value without damaging their original roster so that they can have back up PG if they will promote Harper on starter position.

Spurs acquiring an injury prone player no matter how good he is is not worthy considering how young and versatile all their corr players right now.

That’s business, for the sake of winning a championship, they will forget and forgive.

And honestly, it would be a big help for the Spurs if they can get the service of a veteran like Kawhi Leonard. Fox is not even that useful for the team right now and he still has high trade value, so if they can use him to get Kawhi, that’s not a bad move.

If that happens, it’s like the Spurs are giving up a liability and getting back one of the best players in the league, someone who already knows what it takes to win at the highest level.

Spurs would be a good landing spot for him and for sure Spurs fans would love to see this return.

For the question about if Kawhi already forgiven Spurs, yeah he does and their disagreement is not really huge. Since Kawhi is just disappointed with how Spurs medically handle him. But now seems both parties is fine and there's a chance that this reunion will happen if Spurs will push this trade, also Spurs need to let go their young talents before they can make this trade to happen.

As long as he can bring ring tonthe team then there is no problem, but if he will just get the paycheck the spurs will aurely hate him again, but kawhi knows how to play and it will be very interesting because spurs is also a superteam and it will boost the team power in and standing in the west.

Kawhi is already proven. He won championships before with different teams, and winning again will not be a problem as long as he stays healthy. If that happens, they will be tough to beat in the playoffs. Of course, chemistry is also very important, because if Kawhi gets there, he will probably be their new main player. His jumper is deadly and that will be hard to stop, especially if Wemby is also playing well. They could become one of the best teams in the NBA for sure.

This is just a rumor and nothing is happening yet, but I think it could be good for both teams. Kawhi has not been able to bring the Clippers to the Finals after several seasons, so maybe a fresh start would make sense.

Timberwolves receive:
LaMelo Ball and Josh Green

Hornets receive:
Naz Reid, 2033 unprotected first-round pick, 3 first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030), 3 second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033)

Well, yeah Ant really need a point guard and I agree Lamelo is so versatile as a player and he's young but this is more like an experiment I guess, I could be wrong. Reid and Randle are out, I think the front court needs to be solid and they just can't rely on Gobert, look what happened last game 5 and 6 in the WCSF, not worth the watch tbh. It's kinda exciting how this gonna unfold with Ball and a healthy Edwards, gonna be highlights after highlights but they should focus on the ring, it's all that matters. I still think the Hornets are favoring this one, they still got Tre Mann as PG and Knueppel is just as good as Josh Green when it comes to shooting too, he'll mature.

WTH! Hornets traded Lamelo to Minnesota for Naz Reid some picks and swap picks. This came out of nowhere, lol.
I don't know what's worse about this trade, Hornets traded their 1 true point guard, or Minnesota giving away their 6moy who have significant contribution on both ends of the floor and some important picks. Lamelo and Edwards are both ball dominant, not sure who's going to adjust between these two.

We might be seeing more surprising trades soon.

I wouldn’t say it came out of nowhere. I just said this was happening last night.

The Golden State Warriors have resigned Al Horford for another 2 years at 7 million per year. I think this is a good signing for them. Horford can still play and that’s a good price for his skills.

This is unbelievable, there is a lot of movement inside the Timberwolves and they are getting a player that I believe is good, but also injury prone.

And you are right, both are ball dominant, but the good thing with LaMelo is that he is a willing passer, so I hope he will fit with the team. But the Wolves are also disturbing their defense here, which is their main strength, because Reid is a good defender. He is tall and can shoot, even from outside.

So I don’t know, this is a big gamble for them. I just hope it pays off the way they expected.

[Webetcoins]

While it is of course a good move for Giannis to move from Bucks and finally go to another team, I am not sure Heat is the one. What does Heat have now that they made the trade which could make Giannis win another title? I do not see anything great there which could make this happen.

I was assuming he would go to a team that would allow him to be a lot better and play better and win something, but he did not go to any team like that at all. I personally believe the best we can see from Heat would be conference finals at best.

It's very unexpected to me also. LaMelo Ball's stats this season weren't more impressive than the last one, okay. But I was still seeing him as one of crucial members of the roster.

But it looks like Hornets didn't see it that way. I wonder if they found his salary too much for his general performance... Anyways, there are a ton of guard options at Timberwolves now. A good addition to have more depth.
