'25-26 NBA Thread

KC punching the air.

All for this, but I worry about the "modernizing" of the Sonics logo if they choose to go that route.  The late 90s logo and jersey shift was horrible.  And then they tried to go back the last few years of the franchise but it was just bland.  Need a sharper/modern version of the bright yellow and green with the skyline logo.

The name was stupid, the logos were terrible.  Just start over.

Uhg! What's next, trashing the classic look and name of the Montreal Expos???

Jokic had a historic season in 2024-25 ... and he's having an even better season in 2025-26. Just an amazing player, destined to be an all-timer, if he isn't already.

[Billy Hoyle]

I'm good with that.

Maybe one of Kemp's 27(?) children is NBA material? Gary Payton Jr.? ...get the band back together!

In all seriousness the number is said to be 15.

Keegan Murray is the only NBA player to shoot 40% or better on 6 or more three point attempts as a rookie. Kon is shooting 41% on 8 three point attempts per game. He's also shooting 52% on 2s.

Really good offensive player with very sound fundamentals and a unique ability to get to his spots. I've been impressed every time I've seen him. Knueppel actually has decent defensive instincts, too, but defense is optional for the Hornets, so everyone on the team ends up looking bad at that end of the court.

Ben Simmons is currently a free agent and has reportedly paused any search for a new team to focus on professional fishing with the Sport Fishing franchise he owns.  That is not a Onion headline or NBACentel, its direct from a senior NBA writer.

Assuming this is probably the end cause Ive gotten the impression over the last 5+ years that Simmons doesn't really like basketball all that much.  Wouldn't call him a bust but truly one of the most bizarre career paths of a consensus #1 pick in recent history.

His aversion to wide open layups was so weird. He would pass on gimmies all game long like it was the last 10 seconds and needed a three.

Rowsey chirping him from the bench probably ended his career.

Who? I'm guessing that you are referring to Ramsey. Never heard of this guy "Rowsey".

Flagg is starting to figure things out.

This Flagg kid ain't half bad. Gonna be his league in 3-4 years.

I haven't watched a ton of him in the NBA, but the young man obviously has skills.  Statistically he's doing fine minus 3pt FG percentage.
