2025-26 NBA Season

I do too. Wouldn't have give up on Randle so quickly.

Randle is not a #2 you want on a playoff contender. Maybe a 3 or a 4 for sure.

Getting Kuminga... in essence for free, actually gives them an opportunity to be better

I get that people don't like Julius Randle, bu they basically gave him away for cap space and I think they're gonna miss him. Kuminga will lessen the blow

They're gonna miss Naz.

My Warriors could have used him, but they're paying the cost to be the boss for their championship run.

You know who is a #2 though? KAT. Imagine if the Wolves could get a guy like that.

KAT was traded from the Timberwolves to the Knicks in 2024.
He was drafted by the Wolves in 2015 and played there for nine years.

That was their own stupid doing trade him fine but for Randle and Donte made zero sense. I liked the Wolves because they had Kat, Reid and Gobert.

They had an edge at the 5.

They goofed.

I agree. I think (thought) the Wolves were very good. People think you need to blow it up if you don’t win right away. Look at the Knicks. They had their current core for a few years. They could’ve blown it all up or made a big trade, but they ran it back and now they’re world champs. The Wolves remind me a lot of the Knicks. They could’ve ran it back with Ant, Rudy and KAT and won it all. They still might win it all with their new team.

I agree. I think they just needed to add to their core. I like what the Wolves have done I just wanted to see how it would look with Ant and Kat as the core.

They use to crack jokes on Kat being soft….saying stay in the paint. They use to do it with Dirk too. No. Keep doing what you do. I don’t
Know if they could’ve done it but kept their core and got Lamelo would’ve been real intriguing. I’m intrigued to see how they play this year though.

KAT is a special player. Very unique. And he’s a champion now. But what’s done is done. I’m excited to see what Ant, Ball, Rudy, Kuminga, McDaniels and Ayo could do. I put them slightly behind OKC/SA and way above everyone else in the West.

My bad for being clueless here.

I like their make up. All dawgs. Well I don't know about Kuminga I thought he was a dawg a few years ago but not so sure now but what I do know is he signed a bargain deal.

I like the idea of Ant, McDaniels and Ayo on the perimeter on defense. Nice smart deal to get Ayo I Was hoping Mavs look into him in free agency.

ANd yeah I got them behind Thunder and Spurs. I still think Thunder are a dynasty so I guess they gotta show me but it kind of feels they are losing their luster some.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I like Julius as a 3rd or 4th option.....but yeah as a 2.....that was a tough sell.

Randle was so bad in the playoffs that at this point they could've gave him away for free and they wouldn't miss a beat. He was terrible I was taking his unders every game and it was easy money.

I agree that he isn't a 2, but I think he has value as a third option on a title contender

lol I thought the conclusion was no evidence anyone knew

Clippers are cooked as a franchise.

 

[VaqueroTD]

There's a lot of hardcore Spurs fans cheering right now.

Maybe you shouldn't trust that blood-sucking family knows best, eh, Kawhi?

But this isn't on Kawhi is it? He didn't get hurt seems liike Clippers fans are the only one getting hurt here. I mean even Ballmer is rich and can just buy another team. THe fans suffer.

I don't think the NBA is letting him buy another team just to avoid this punishment

No I mean I don't even think he would. I'm just saying he's rich he's not hurting here. Its the fans.
