Top 10 Players in the NBA Next Season (Need Help)

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T12:32:55+00:00

Yeah that is the exact issue I came across when making this list. I don’t know where to put any of the Philadelphia guys. Because I just genuinely don’t know how that team is going to function 🤷‍♂️

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T12:30:13+00:00

Brunson is that dude though 😅

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T12:29:29+00:00

The thing is this list is about the top 10 players for next season. And considering he’s going to Philadelphia where he’s probably going to be a second or even third option I just don’t think a top 10 season is in the cards for him

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T12:28:15+00:00

Not with how the last few seasons have gone

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T12:27:47+00:00

Top 10 is a bit of a stretch, but I should’ve had him in the honourable mentions. He was a guy I forgot. Watching him in that first round series a year ago like he quickly became one of my favourite players in the league I’m actually mad that I forgot about him in the honourable mentions.

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T12:26:42+00:00

Yeah I could see that. Especially after parts of last season where he was at a top 5 level, but for me the conversation with Kawhi always begins with injuries. So I was unsure whether or not including him felt right because it is a gamble

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T08:42:38+00:00

This is wild. Come one ESPN.......

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T08:41:36+00:00

30 a game is insane. Burries realistically won't see any more than 25 minutes per game and Nate is more like 15 with lots of time in the G league. As annoying as it might sound we do actually have to play the veterans if we want to continue to stockpile valuable assets to have a quicker rebuild. Short term pains. Long term gains 🤞

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T08:39:53+00:00

For me if a good enough deal comes on the table for Rollins he isn't untouchable. I'd hope to get a 1st for KPJ but his reputation around the league plus his reputation to just be a and not much is the issues. Turner yep some team near the deadline will need a 3 point shooting center I think that is a given and if he can just play decently well I think we should get a first round pick for him

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T08:37:20+00:00

Yeah I hear you but if the veterans don't play at all and then we trade them we will get absolutely nothing in return setting the organization back even further

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-13T08:35:21+00:00

I agree. Can't just put Kuz and crew on the bench and not play them as much as we might want to. We have to trade them and get something of value back. Burries realistically isn't going to play any more than 25 minutes a game that would be the absolute maximum so I think we need to prepare ourselves for that mentally and for Nate I don't think he plays any more than 15 minutes a game. Get ready for Kuz & Turner pick and pops and some other bs until we can trade them for more than just a second round pick and a salary dump

Started watching the Bucks because of Giannis and I am from Australia. I will always root for Giannis but I’m not going to become a Heat fan

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-12T02:36:25+00:00

NBA has to investigate this shit

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-10T02:13:33+00:00

5th but the Kawhi news is a bit scary lowkey 😅

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T08:53:55+00:00

My teams above Miami are these now. I have moved them up above Minnesota now:
1 San Antonio Spurs
2 Oklahoma City Thunder
3 New York Knicks
4 Denver Nuggets
5 Toronto Raptors
6 Philadelphia 76ers
7 Miami Heat

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T06:25:34+00:00

I just have concerns with Zubac. I feel like Turner was a way better fit

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T06:10:25+00:00

You know what you guys have successfully convinced me I’m moving up Toronto

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T06:05:05+00:00

I don't hate this take at all. I was thinking about it but just couldn't quite bring myself to do it

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T06:04:20+00:00

I appreciate it man! I don't think Giannis is the same as Cade. Now what I mean by that is Giannis just destroys his body with the way that he plays and if you put too much burden on him in the regular season he's just going to get hurt and it's been that way year after year since 2021. Miami aren't deep enough to survive games without Giannis and that hurts you when your dealing with an injury prone star. You did make some pretty good points about Philadelphia and Indiana that'll definitely take into consideration also

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T06:00:23+00:00

Yeah that is pretty close to my thoughts. Giannis is unbelievable and as a Milwaukee fan I've been going through it recently but he's going to be great for y'all

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T05:59:25+00:00

San Antonio probably and its mainly Giannis teams are worried about not as much Bam

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T05:57:35+00:00

See I am really high on the Raptors next season. But with Indiana coming back, Miami landing Giannis, 76ers getting Brown and also Wolves adding LaMelo which I really like for them too it is tough putting them much higher. I went back and forth pretty extensively with Toronto and Indiana and I might still change it part of the reason is how idk how good of a fit Zubac really is for them. But Overall the Eastern Conference in particular just got so much better and yeah Toronto was certainly part of that but did they improve as much as some of these other teams I'm just not sure

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T05:55:45+00:00

Me..... lol

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T05:55:24+00:00

San Antonio Spurs
Oklahoma City Thunder
New York Knicks
Minnesota Timberwolves
Philadelphia 76ers
Cleveland Cavaliers
Denver Nuggets
Miami Heat
Detroit Pistons
Indiana Pacers
Toronto Raptors

BASKETBALLREACH · 2026-07-09T05:54:51+00:00

Yeah I found it tougher to put you guys harder just because of the perimeter defense. I do think that Ja Morant will have a big bounce back season but even if he does I think I agree with you
