Official NBA General Discussion 2025-26 V2.0

I think a lot of folks get caught up with Queen not having good D. Defense is effort at the end of the day. Our organization is known for D, i'm sure with this group and right coaches they can help Queen in that area. I still feel like we missed out on someone like Queen who would fill nicely on this squad over CMB

Counterpoint, this team is known for its team D because they don't suffer guys like Queen. Queen is still young and can easily improve but his attitude needs to shift and he needs to start prioritizing team play and defense. He's going to play on a lot of bad teams to start his career and any good team he finds his way onto will want him to commit to two-way play. He does have some skill but he feels like a poor man's Banchero to me.

I can't figure out if I'm watching a Lakers game or a SpongeBob movie. Wtf, how is this good for the NBA having floors like that?

Jase and the better of NOPs and the Bucks 2026 pick sounds awfully tempting. Keep in my mind there's a lot of bad teams looking to get a high pick in this draft. NOP will have no reason to lose purposefully and can stat pad W's down the stretch. You know Dumar's will want to save face. I could see them finishing around 7th when all is said and down.

After watching him steal the ball in a dribble out the clock situation and go dunk it I think he probably failed our interview.

He did that because Hawks traded him on draft night....He is petty Sim to Kobe and has a chip on his shoulder which could be a +....He won't do that in every situation but he said "They traded me on draft night" As to why he stole the ball....It can be off putting to some soft people but its also a competitive fire some players have and some don't

There's zero competitive fire stealing a ball from a guy who is dribbling the clock out after his team destroyed yours

lmao basically the equivalent of sucker punching someone when they aren't looking and calling that toughness

CJ off the bench for us would be interesting...i havent checked out his contract yet

Over 30 million...lol

lol well he's probably getting bought out at some point

There's 9 teams with 5 wins or less. I don't know why people are acting like the Pelicans are a lock to be in the bottom 5 when they have zero incentive to tank.

He's balling out so that someone can come get him lol. He's one of those guys that's decent but a better person than he is player. He's probably one of the most sought after targets if he made half of what he does.

All I know is this board would be a toxic wasteland if we got thumped by the Wizards like the Hawks did, and Barnes put up 7/7/7 with 5 TOs and a -20 like Johnson did. Bad games happen folks. Wizards were up by 29 at one point in the 1st quarter, it was just one of those nights.

Clippers Kawhi era is done. They need to move him to a desperate team like charlotte or something.

Pretty sure he'll just retire if not in California.

There's going to be so many bad teams this year.

That would have been the ultimte trade if we made it which if it was offered to us was such a blunder on our front office.....CMB is not good enough to pass up an offer like that in any circumstance.....The Hawks made out like bandits because they will get one of the top prospects in this class and will be a playoff team.....Pelicans will not magically turn into a good team....They struggle even against the bad teams in the league....3-15 Means you are just a badly constructed team....More likely they move Zion for picks at the trade deadline than anything...

Jase Richardson is also going to have the same impact on a team that CMB will have because when you look at them as players one is not way better than the other....They are in the same area in terms of talent overall....Jase natural scoring ability for me might even put him over the top considering he can score in a virety of different ways....If CMB was like 6'10" it would be a differnt convo but hes undersized as a big man.

Lakers fans don't realize how entitled they are. Throughout their history they were gifted stars via various circumstances. Circumstances that occur for no other team.
