Event Around the 2025 NBA Draft & Offseason Madness!

If Luka is truly in great shape for basically the first time ever - he might be the MVP.

 

And Nico Harrison can, with justification, take credit!

I wonder, though: I've heard Patrick Beverly, I think it was, say that defending Luka is difficult because he's such a fat lump (not Beverly's words) that you can't budge him. I remember both Kevin Love and Nurk coming back from breaks looking startlingly thinner and neither actually improved - if anything their games became less effective. Love was an all-timer at rebounding when he was porky and lost that when he got in shape.

No doubt Luka's defense will improve - he might even take the leap to mediocre.

 

Then you have guys like Barkley, Felton, Zion that certainly look worse when fat.

I'm also not sure if Nurk was truly in better shape when lighter - or he just lost a bunch of muscle and weaker.

 

Not a fan of twitter? Something happen?

 

does that looks photo-shopped? it does to me

 

It's a magazine - you think they would ever photo-shop something?

 

He probably just went on ozempic

 

ESPN gave the Pelicans an F in the offseason - and the Kings/Pacers both D. Schroder who relies on athleticism and is turning 32 was a part of the Kings grade.

Insane how many teams he's bounced around from the last few years;

Hawks
Thunder
Lakers
Celtics
Rockets
Lakers
Toronto
Golden State
Brooklyn
Detroit
Kings

That's a third of the league!

 

Sounds like Deni likes it here.

 

I liked Twitter. Have you heard of this shitty NEW thing called "X"?

 

Avdija at 24 years old and 206 days, is the 2nd oldest of the young players. Camara is the oldest at 25 years and 81 days.

To me it seems like a very good situation for him.

 

Jonathan Kuminga has reportedly shut down any offers by the Warriors at this time. That’s a problem because Golden State can’t sign any players until the JK situation is resolved and they only have nine players signed as of now. This is a look at what happens next and how it could ruin the final years of Stephen Curry’s NBA career.

 

Yeah a few years age difference can be very significant when your talking about our players being 20-22 or 24/25.

 

I kind of sympathize with Kuminga... Insane that he was completely benched for large parts of last season and most the playoffs. He at least should have had a bench role when Butler/Green sat.

People complain about Scoot/Sharpe role here but imagine if they were getting DNPs!

Kuminga and all RFA have an Oct 1 deadline so he has to accept the offer at that time. Then warriors can do their other roster moves.

Warriors could actually do their other roster moves today. They're just choosing to hold off because they want more option, nobody is forcing them to hold off signing the other guys.

This won't impact anything with Curry legacy or the roster during the season.

 

Sounds evil.

 

Kuminga can simply play for his QO and become UFA next season. Of course, the Warriors would likely bench him, deep, if he did

 

Good for him if it works.

It helps prevent urges for alcoholism and all kinds of unhealthy habits.

 

Yeah the RFA rules are crazy restrictive if a player is in a bad situation. Kuminga would lose bird rights in a trade on the QO.

Usually young players are handed minutes they don't deserve. I can't think of any young player flashing quality starter play on a rookie contract like Kuminga but being benched completely out of the rotation - not even getting backup minutes.
