Considering how bad the injury bug was last year, I’m having a hard time imagining less than 50 wins this season.

We can bet a beer my friend... 50W are a lot of Ws, we achieved that level only 2 times in Luka era. It's tough.

Chicago and Golden State have spoken about Jonathan Kuminga S&T scenarios. Deal would include Nikola Vucevic heading to Golden State. #NBA

...really puts the Dirk era into a new perspective, doesn't it?

Clarkson needs to find a way to Atlanta. He and Snyder work best together.

Ahead of free agency, league sources tell me these are some outcomes with building momentum:

Nickel Alexander-Walker to ATL
Caris LeVert to DET
Ty Jerome to MEM
D’Angelo Russell to DAL
Al Horford to GSW

Will have an article soon.

Horford to GSW seems like a perfect match. 

I like D-Lo to Dallas, but I would have preferred Schröder.

Hmm…

…but AD and Max are an upgrade from Luka, and they’ve added Flagg.

So they should easily hit 50.

Rival teams are increasingly projecting Memphis to secure a free agent commitment from Ty Jerome in the annual range of $9-to-10 million, league sources tell @JakeLFischer and me.

At first blush, Vucevic in Golden State doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  He'd be a more consistent offensive presence than Kuminga though.

I think GS needs much more offense at C.  Vuc is also a great rebounder.


RE: Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST - Chicagojk - 06-30-2025

So Vucevic and Horford are both not ending up in GS right? Sounds odd. Would the Celtics want Vucevic?

But isn't Clarkson a way better guy to come off the bench than Exum? Wouldn't he be a much better version of Hardy?

Are you suggesting Clarkson is going to sign for vet min?  DLo is definitely better option for the tax MLE.  I would actually prefer Exum to Clarkson for his defense and shooting if I thought he could stay on the court.

You're forgetting Clarkson's boxing ability.  Naji needs backup.

Woah! I thought DLo was still a 18pts, 7asts, 3rbs player. Last year he was 12.6pts, 5.1asts, 2.8rbs. Why the drop off?

His minutes have dropped from ~32 to ~25-26 would be part of it.

Signing DLO then Clarkson for vet minimum and taking Hardy's role/spot would be nice. I'd be on board with that.

Then trade OMax and free up a spot for Exum.

Lets get them all!

You would have to find a way to dump Hardy contract as well (which will probably more difficult than dumping Omax).

Even at 48mins, he had career lows in everything but rebounding.

I am suggesting it. Is it likely? Probably not.

Although if Clarkson wants to win, I'd imagine Dallas could be on his list of potential places.
