NBA 2025-26 NBA Thread

I could only see the following teams going after Ja. Desperate win now teams.

Houston
No PG. Relying on 37 yo Durant and Sengun to create offense in the playoffs.

Minny
Have a huge hole at PG and need a secondary creator after Ant and not have to rely on Randle in the playoffs.

Pelicans
Fears is not ready, don’t own their pick. Dejounte coming off a major injury, plus he sux anyway.
 
Isn't Memphis one of the smallest markets in the NBA? Contrary to what most people here think, Ja Morant is a pretty entertaining player for casual fans at the very least. He's also someone who gives your team a good offensive floor for the regular season. I kind of doubt the Grizz will trade him away unless he wants it or his silly shenanigans will get completely untolerable. By the way, I agree that we've already seen the best of Ja, the same with Zion, both seem athletically past their peaks by now.
 
well i heard women only go after nba guys to hook up with rappers so yeah he shoulda known
 
Poor Dejounte... I had a friend who used to joke about guys who met certain types of girls, got mesmerized, and thought, "wow, look at all the pretty red flags waving." Seems like a lot of young NBA guys have that affliction.
 
Pelicans look completely done as a team. Putting up zero fight against OKC, going to 0-6 if this result stands. Dumars with his lunatic unprotected pick trade for Derek Queen. If this gets worse they may have to break the team down regardless.
 
Queen isn't on today's injury report.
He caught a DNP/CD against OKC.
What the fuck are the Pelicans doing?
Just relocate the team, tbh.


Just saw this.

The Thunder played the following players vs the Pelicans today:
  1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
  2. #49 pick in 2020 (Joe)
  3. #55 pick in 2021 (Wiggins)
  4. #34 pick in 2022 (Williams)
  5. #10 pick in 2023 (Wallace)
  6. #38 pick in 2024 (Mitchell)
  7. #44 pick in 2025 (Barnhizer)
  8. an undrafted player (Caruso)
  9. an undrafted player (Hartenstein)
  10. an undrafted player (Carlson)
  11. an undrafted player (Youngblood)
  12. Ousmane Dieng

Jake LaRavia had himself a night against Miami: 25 pts, 8 rebs, 3 assists, 4 steals, 10/13 FG, 2/3 3ptFG, 1 TO, +8.
I wouldn't be shocked if the Laker starting 5 by the end of the season is Doncic, Reaves, LaRavia, LeBron, Hachimura, with Smart, Ayton, & Vanderbilt off the bench.

I had such a good time the other night watching the Lakers and Grizzlies play because LaRavia and Cedric Coward were both expending so much energy on the defensive end of the court. It was nice to see a couple of young players so defensively focused.
 
Someone on reddit just referred to Doncic, Reaves, and LaRavia as "Tres Leches," and I think that's hilarious.
 
Man LaRavia is showing himself to be exactly what quite a few Spurs posters including myself said he would be during the offseason. Solid 3-D forward who can play both the 3 and the 4. Very much what the Spurs need.

Having said that there needs to be some caution in that Doncic can make players look a lot better than they are. Same with Reaves who’s a better playmaker than anyone the Spurs have right now.

But hard not to think LaRavia would be a solid upgrade over Barnes and Champagnie. Would be interesting to know if the Spurs made a play at him or if he was set on the Lakers due to opportunity/fit with Doncic.
