That's the NBA Summer League. Start of the 2025-2026 NBA season.

After this, Preseason starts Oct 4.

And the regular NBA season starts Nov 4.

Set your calendar.
Season starts Oct 21, not Nov 4.

Naaaa… I smell hypocrisy!

If this was Boston, you would lead the charge against my Celtics angry That we start reading all sorts of stuff about our fans, racism and everything under the sun. But because it is not Boston, you are more enthralled by Dame 419ing the Bucks!

Harden must retire a Rocket is all I know!

Cannot happen, spirit world has rules my man. If he must retire, it must be where he started, in OKC. So I suspect it will not happen for another decade.

Grandpas, yes. But they can come off the bench and still produce. They've got the experience. As long as they can stay healthy, the reserves I'm seeing will give other teams problems

You could have a second unit is all under 30. John Collins, Kris Dunn(31), Ben Simmons, Zubac. Even first unit with Beal, Harden, Kawhi are not 35 yet. Ok Harden may be 70 in strip club years, but I digress grin

By the same token, Lakers have gotten just as deep, but younger. Both LA teams compare favorable with Nuggets for depth

4 other "sleeper" teams that look rugged and ready to rumble, Rockets, Kings, Magic and Knicks

Meanwhile warriors have to be the worst in moves this offseason
Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 9:33am On Jul 24, 2025
Talking about Sleeper teams, you left out the Spurs. Spurs would be this season what OKC was three seasons ago, the year before they led the West. They are building quietly and no one is paying attention. D.Aaron Fox will be that trigger for Spurs, the way Shai was for OKC. They have got, Wemby, an upgrade on Holmgren. They need a couple more pieces, definitely. But they sure look like they know what they are doing unlike clueless Blazers and Jazz. I am rooting for them.

The Dallas Mavericks is a problem too if they can stay healthy. Imagine a prime Kyrie, Klay and AD playing together? That's damage right there. Throw in Cooper Flagg, Lively, Gafford, Max Christie and PJ Washington. I dare say OKC won't repeat. They just can't. And whosoever wins next season is coming from the west if there are no injuries.

Zubac second unit? Try 37-year old Brook Lopez. And I think Collins will start alongside Zubac

Klay?

Re: The NBA Begins by greypencils: 12:17pm On Jul 25, 2025
steady986:
Klay?
We all know Klay isn't what he used to be. Check out the other players though. They have enough quality to make it to the playoffs/playing if they remain healthy. I
I do believe Klay can get streaky just like Haliburton last playoffs. They just could get lucky. Not enough to win a title though. I don't see that happening. I just love the fact that the west is unpredictable. We have an idea of who the top 10 teams can be but no ideas whatsoever who can win it all.


Talking about Klay, congratulations are in order for snapping up that big nyash stallion. With Rocco dead, a new play thing is very necessary

Jeff Teague

The Chael one was the most damning one of all because Chael Sonnen in his fighting days was a notorious juicer. Nobody dared question Chael make he no open their yansh further grin

The evolution with the shape of his head reminds me of Barry Bonds.

He is doing a terrific job covering his tracks but one day na one day!

Are his tracks covered or everyone is just unlooking. At least the people that matter.

What does a league stand to gain by exposing it's golden goose post MJ. If he will be casted it would be long after retirement or if he pisses off the wrong people.

Unlike baseball, basketball is more finesse. Muscle bulk has always been hindrance ore than help, even for the big guys. I saw TMac get bulked, get injured then slim down. Same with Kobe, bulk, get injured then slim down. I could see basketball athletes taking borderline supplements for overtraining pain. I could see guys trying it to come back from injuries as well, like Tatum grin But makes no sense for performance.

As far as head shape, most african males have high level of testosterone by default and if you start working out twice a day, you will surprise yourself. People forget Ronnie Coleman early on in his career was not using any steroids, and still jacked up. He didnt win any championships, but he looked jacked,

If they dont get the right coach, it wont matter. Popovich stayed too long in that role, and I think they have institutionalized a type of player, coach and front office that cannot win in today's league

Your guy dey juice. It's not in doubt. And anyone that believes is either in denial or dangerously naive.

What does the league stand to gain by casting him is the issue. He's one of the pillars after Jordan and Kobe so outing him is a net negative for the brand

That whole "he spends $2m on his body" is tongue in cheek. Almost a tacit admission that he on that juice, that goddammit 💉

There's a reason nobody challenged Chael Sonnen who pinpointed exactly what LeJuicy is using (EPO)
