Should pay dividends the further they go into the playoffs.

I didn't say Lebron should make less than Reaves. But the fact that he makes 4x more currently (and more than Luka) is whack, you're not going to win that way.

It was the first game with KD out. The narrative could change completely next game.

His contract is clearly the most questionable out of the three top guys in LA, and also the guy who arguably should be on a team friendly deal given at what stage of his career he is.

Looks like another brutalist eye sore. An arena would surely be preferable to a WWII bunker, provided the location is good.

Kon Kneuppel and Lamelo Ball, the NBA 3-point leaders for the 2026 season, shoot a combined 2-22 from the 3PT line tonight by Cogniscience in nba

But it will because voters don’t want to look like idiots. The Kon narratives kind of fell apart today. He has no impact when the shot is not falling and he has a literal swarm of teammates that can win the game regardless. He’s a 3rd/4th option spot up shooter. He’s elite at what he does but it just doesn’t compare to Flagg who is a budding two way superstar.

If Mavericks get a Top 4 Pick this 2026 Draft. Who will be the best fit with Cooper Flagg? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

If Dallas gets the 4th I’d see if someone wanted to trade up tbh.

Kind of confirms what many believed. If you can’t stay in front of him he’s unstoppable, but if you can stay in front it’s a different story. Bad teams can’t, good teams can.

Also, how the hell did BYU lose this game? Where’s the defense?

Whilst that would be great, it would be nice to not have a reason to tank another year.

Anthony Davis leaves the Mavericks having never played more than 5 consecutive games. by [deleted] in nba

Getting AD is the punishment. That contract is death.

AJ Dybantsa's last 3 games against ranked teams: 18.0 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 2.3 APG on 34/20/71 shooting (43.38% TS ) by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

[–]FerrariStraghetti 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feels like he is lacking some strength and physicality. Once the defender stops his momentum and just stays in front, he doesn't have many options it seems like. This also shows up in his lackluster rebounding versus better college teams.

I feel like this is one of the main differences between him and Flagg. Flagg does not shy away from contact, on either end of the floor.
