The Official 2025/2026 NBA Season Thread OKC Thunder NBA Champs Who’s Got Next?

I KNOW!!!!! THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!!

The owners have to sign off on it and they did! They didn't conceptualize it though.

That's why they pay GMs to do the thinking for them. Then they check yes or no.

Nico thought he was going to be the brilliant mind that came up with the best trade in NBA history, but it turned out to be the dumbest trade in the history of pro sports. It was neck and neck with Nico and Jerry Jones, but Nico wins hands down!!

The importance of one player in the NBA is far greater than one the NFL. Especially a top 3 player like Luka!!
Agreed but I don’t know what Nico was thinking; that’s the only thing I’m like iffy about…
 
You really believe that Nico sold trading a top 5 player to the owners lol lol; and then the owners were dupe into trading Luka lol lol; yea ok. Actually if you remember, they all came out and said how they kept the trade secret was it was discuss only with the owners of the lakers and mavs; that’s why allegedly know one else knew about it…

The owner even stood beside Nico after and did interviews after
 
The interwebs ain't shit.....LOL

Oakley is such a hater. Dude is only relevant because of Patrick Ewing and trashes him. His name only comes up from talking shit. He’s another Scottie Pippen but 1% of the player Pippen was.

Let’s flip it— how would Oakley fare in today’s NBA? The 90s Knicks probably could have won a championship with Draymond instead of Oakley. I don’t think Oakley could start on a winning team today. Laughably unskilled compared to Draymond.
 
Mavs truthfully ain’t even falling off. They want to rebuild they got trade assets. We gonna have a top 5 pick next year….got Lakers pick…..the roster isn’t bad it’s just too many injuries. Future brighter then the South beach heat lol.

Skip Bayless says y’all are going to the Western Conference Finals and the Thunder might be able to take you in 7. “Book it.”

 


I doubt we’ll see the team Nico envisioned next year but I largely agree with Draymond.

AD got hurt so all the “Mr Glass” clowners ended up being right. It could have worked out differently. This was the worst case scenario for Dallas (outside of the lottery luck) and that makes it easy to criticize but teams have won titles with guys who have had injury issues being healthy. It was a gamble and they lost.
 




LeBron was raised as an only child by his mom Gloria, with no full siblings—his dad was mostly absent. He does have a half-brother (Aaron McClelland Gamble) from his father's side, but contact has been minimal. Derrick Tarver Jr. isn't a direct blood nephew from that; seems more like a nickname/honorary title for the kid of someone from LeBron's high school circle in Akron, but LeBron's shouted him out and called him "nephew" publicly, so in King James' world, it's true enough. Kid's got handles for days either way.

 
Not the response I expected— So you think the Mavs will be contenders this year?
No. Well I think they can be a play in team. I’d personally trade everyone not named AD. I think this team was built for Luka. How it’s built now it’s hindering Flagg and his ceiling. He’s regulated to just playing point.

Kidd can go to.

They probably won’t do nothing and I see them getting healthier. AD, Lively will be back. Flagg getting better. Kyrie back by Feb. They could sneak in.
