it's the NBA 25/26 thread

OKC :flushed:

Good job they don’t own next year’s first round pick for any dumpster fire like the Clippers, huh?

Interesting discussion on Atlanta being a prime Giannis destination on today’s Zach Lowe show :eyes:

not listened, but I doubt he has any insider information

there’s no package the Bucks would accept that would leave the Hawks better off, and I’m pretty sure Onsi wouldn’t entertain whatever fantasy packages the pundits are pulling out of thin air

Giannis is great, and he’ll probably be great for a while yet, but Hawks have a shot at a high lottery pick in one of the most loaded drafts ever, and a possible very high pick the year after

also, he makes zero sense considering what the Hawks have now, or indeed what they’d have giving up most of the floor spacing they currently have in the (laughable) mooted deal on ESPN

aaand Giannis in a gutted team that got him with the assets they’d need to rebuild? in the early years of the Sam Presti OKC legacy? very very very silly and bad for everyone except the Bucks

Spurs actually going toe-to-toe with OKC!! let’s goooo

it’s like… obviously Spurs are not all that far behind OKC in terms of how deep, well-constructed and well-coached they are, but this is so much a matter of the best team versus the only player on the planet who can have his own way against them

couple of insane defensive plays by Caruso and Dort on Wemby in the paint, mind

Spurs - Thunder on at 7:30pm uk time on Christmas day.

Thank you Santa!

Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson stepped up big time. Jalen was pretty awful.

ah yeah, OKC are rinsing the Hornets, nothing remarkable there

I’m having some sort of bad brain thing, right?

no it still says that

can you imagine the sounds that Eric Collins has been making

Trae’s getting traded and apparently the Wizards are a potential trade partner

Seems like y’all need to do something. At least you don’t have to play the Raps anymore!

oh lord, it’ll take a few seasons to stop feeling dread at seeing the Raptors on the schedule :skull:

yeah, tbh I’m most concerned that they won’t get much in return for Trae, which, ugh. really, really need the Pels to continue to struggle badly

It’s happened!
