2026 NBA Season

[fullfitlarry]

I'd lean Pods over Westbrook, especially if it's basically the same salary.

I lean Pods over Westbrook, too.

Pods really contributed last season. Didn't dive deep into all the stats, but from watching, he looks like a deadly shooter. In terms of age, he's way younger. Westbrook's around 10 years older and closer to retirement. Pods is still on his rookie deal. and can still be developed. They even started him in a few games and he held his own. He's not a big name yet, but he doesn't really play like a nobody.

I don't know about Podz, for me he is inconsistent. There are games that he looks like a great player for the Warriors with his dagger outside shot. But there are games that he will just be an average due and then committing turn-overs.

And how many years have he been with the Warriors? Next season he should show something otherwise, he might be in the trading block too. As for WB, there are fans that wanted him in the NBA. But it seems that no team are picking him.

Where did this question even come from?  I haven't heard anything about Westbrook being eyed by the Warriors outside of this thread.  I think Westbrook's style of play would be completely incompatible with the Warriors offense.  He would definitely be a negative value addition.  I doubt Kerr is even considering the possibility of Russ being on the team.  It's just not the right kind of basketball.  I don't think the Warriors would take him even if he was willing to play for free.  At least not while Steph is still on the team.

It's probably just speculation only in this board about Westbrook or comparing Podz on Russ. Because it could be him on the Warriors if they wanted him to play with the team. And speaking of the Warriors, Payton and Green has officially coming back to them as they already sign.

At least another year for them to make a run to the title. Seen videos of their last championship in 2022 and it was really different. With Juan Toscano and Otto Porter and Jordan Poole and Wiggins like hitting their prime as the same time. Fun time to watch them looking back.

I also don't know on where they lean towards associating the name of Westbrook on Warriors. Because there are no reports that Warriors have interest to sign him.

And for what I see he's not fit on Warriors for the reasons that his playing style is not aligned on their system, he's old already and inconsistent towards his performance made each game.

So even if people say that have trust on Westbrook still Warriors will continue to lean on Podz because this player is currently what they have and seems they don't have a choice but to trust him at the moment.

For sure this are just rumors and from mba podcasters, but i would lean on westbrook vs pods although the age is the problem with him, like what i said kerr has his own preferred player even if you are great if you are not his type or think would fit on the plays he want you will not going to have a spot.

[Stavri]

Yeah right, He had a $3m+ one year vet minimum with the Kings last year, I don't see any better deal coming his way than that at this point of his career if he wants to continue playing in thr NBA.

I also don't think any team would be willing to pay him more than the vet minimum just because of jersey sales. Only his loyal fans are willing to buy it at this point.
LeBron is just on another level. The season hasn't even started yet, but he already made an economic impact, breaking Ohtani's jersey sale after switching teams.
The $8m 2 year deal was his personal choice (chasing the 5th ring) , he could have sign with the Clippers for a 1yr 20m deal.

some people are just like that. their entire life is their work and if you take that job away from them, they’re left without a purpose.
i think that’s the case for LeBron, too.   He loves basketball so much that he doesn’t want to walk away. that’s why he wanted to keep his competitive edge by moving to a team where he’d play a supporting role rather than being the main star.

btw for a regular athlete decline starts after 30. Lebron led his team to the Conference Semifinals at 41 while averaging 35 36 minutes per game...

Much better don't believe easily on their claims, since the information released by this meme pages is not true or unverified. Much better to look for reliable information from big news sites to avoid having those confusions.

Also much better share verified news only in this thread, so we can avoid those fake news.

[mirakal]

Another rumor...  I saw some news saying Curry could end up with Boston or Miami, but until now nothing is confirmed.

I’m also not sure if the Warriors can really get DeRozan, but if they do, that would be a good pickup. He’s still a very good scorer, and in terms of attacking the basket and creating his own shot, I think he can even give them more than Butler in some situations. He’s also reliable from the free-throw line and he’s not afraid to take big shots. I really like his game.

Nothing is official yet, but hopefully this one happens.

No i did not, i just reply to their topic i forget to quote the post, those post sometimes just make post even if its not true to make their post trending,
I would wait for announcement or to those who are credible before believing, gsw has no interest in wb and demar seems to ending in the east.

Based on what we usually see, players around 30 years old may already start to decline. That’s probably true for the majority, though some players actually get better as they age. LeBron is obviously an exceptional case. He’s already 41 and still putting up numbers that look like superstar numbers.

Curry also won championships in his 30s, so I don’t think we can judge a player only by age. Of course, it’s still a gamble for the team, but if the player still has superstar value, I think he’s worth signing. At the very least, he can still attract viewers and bring attention to the team.

Yeah, and if it is a veteran contract, then the Warriors could get him cheap with a quality player for their 2nd stringers. The Warriors could still focus on using some of their space if they are targeting other star players in the league. Also, it's not like they have a championship team now. If they could surround Steph with players who can be a threat on the perimeter, I think it can be good for the team because it will open some space for him.
Let's face it, even in the last season, the baby-faced assassin cannot be left alone, and most of the time he is still being guarded with a double team or sticky defense. You cannot just leave that guy alone.

yeah. what I mean Lebron is 42 and has enough money and passive income to last for generations. reason he still chooses to wake up at 5 AM to train and travel constantly is probably just his addiction to the game.

I wouldn’t call it addiction. I’d call it passion instead. Kobe Bryant was also like that. If you really love the sport and you also have the talent, you will keep finding ways to improve. Hopefully LeBron can stay healthy because at his age, injuries are harder to recover from. Now that he’s with the Sixers and playing alongside Embiid, this team can become a real championship contender.

Maybe that’s also one reason he chose the Sixers, to give himself another good chance to win a championship before retiring. I still think he can play for two or three more seasons because his numbers haven’t really dropped that much.

His impact is different now though. He can’t carry a team the same way he did before. He doesn’t attack as much anymore and focuses more on moving the ball. His three-point shooting can also be inconsistent. Maybe he just needs to adjust his decision-making and find other ways to help the team. Good luck to the Sixers.

Athletically I think players start to decline much earlier than that. They start slowing down as soon as they hit 24 and their jump is on the decline by 27. That is usually countered by a constant improvement in skills and experience. That is why players can continue performing at increasingly high rates into their early 30s. By LeBron’s age, even the mental is slowing down. Nothing about his game is improving from here…

I see players in the other league that came from the NBA perform better, it might be because of how many games they played the stress of the body unable to sustain that lots of games, and also the routine, while other league has lesser stress on the body, some old players like Jeremy, Marbury even perform better.
about LeBron James, he really takes care of his body, and he knows when he can play or not, but yes LeBron can still play like new players does, but he is not getting better we see a lot of decline although what is amazing is how he was able to play like that at his age.

Perhaps Lebron understands in the beginning that he really should take care of his body. Yes, he is physically gifted already, but he put it into another level by going to the weight gym or even hire some of the best sports science doctor to help him out. When Kobe got injured, he went to Germany if I remember it correctly because that time there is a doctor known to help sports athlete heal from their injury and become a new version of themselves.

So in this case, Lebron hasn't had a season ending or even career threatening injury because he might have learn from those greats that have been injured that they really need to take care of their body and as much as body train it unconventionally. I remember seeing Michael Jordan training in a pool before and it could be ground breaking during that time in his era.

Boston Celtics Want Stephen Curry: Brad Stevens Has Made The Call For Blockbuster Trade

Boston? Meh..
Miami? Meh...

Overall, both don't have the trade package that will satisfy Golden State especially you're trading the arguably the greatest shooter of all time. I can't think of a better trade package that either Boston or Miami could give just to get Curry especially Miami where they don't have any assets anymore. If Curry will be traded, there are way more chances that he will be traded to a team that has many assets plus draft picks because if they trade Curry, that's considered "rebuilding" already, and the Warriors need draft picks to do it. As for the Warriors getting DeRozan, he might fit in there, but the team will just get older if he goes there. The Warriors' starting 5 is already the oldest right now, and they'll add another old player yet again? I mean is the front office of the Warriors collecting post-prime players in their team? For what?

Of course, nothing here is 100%, and we could see a blockbuster trade that we didn't see coming just like when Luka got traded to the Lakers. Nobody expected that to happen.

That's why I said Warriors would be like a home for aging stars. Lol. Anyway, Curry at 38 is still hot. If Curry decided to get out of the Warriors, I don't believe it would just be Miami or Boston that would take interest. Look, just because Curry hasn't signed the extension yet, even if they know he's not allowed to sign it yet, not just teams but also fans of other teams want him to be on their team. The first was the Spurs. Lots of reaction videos were circulating right away on social media, and they wanted him to team up with the Alien. I can't imagine it. Wemby on the inside, Curry on the outside. That would be a lit combination.

Even at Curry's age, they are still not giving him an easy basket. That just proves he still has it. If ever he teamed up with the Alien, he would have someone to rely on or share the burden on offense.

There's no question about Curry, even at this age he is arguably the best shooter that we have seen. Maybe there are rumors that he wanted to get out of the Warriors because the management doesn't want to create a more competitive lineup just like in a couple of years ago when they became a champion.

But as for the destination if he goes to Spurs what will be the package then? For sure their young core will be broken and either Castle, Vassell or Harper. So it doesn't make sense for the Spurs to get Curry if they are going to suffer as they will lost their best players.

For sure it will break the core as GSW will ask for the same value for Curry or maybe much better than what Spurs can offer, I mean if ever Spurs will take their shot for Curry they need to sacrifice whoever part of the core that GSW may ask, similar to what you've said, might be Caste,Vassell or Harper plus an additional perks if ever GSW will release Curry but if ever that combo with Wemby that's going to be a huge one to anticipate if trade happened between  these two teams.
