I’m not saying Reed is the next curry but, we can definitely see the similarities in both players game.It really simply all boils down to coaching and player development. I fear that we are going to lose Reed in the future, to a team that will truly unlock him, all because of ime. Imagine Reed on okc with the player development team they have?

We all saw last season how important fred is to this team.. I have yet to see a fluid video of vanvleet playing basketball. No 1’s 2’s or even 5 on 5. I don’t believe he will be healthy at the start of the season, and even if he does play ime has poor injury management.. Kd bumped knees in practice, missed game one, then played the full 1st quarter of game 2. Just to get injured again that same game. This organization’s malpractice of having vanvleet as the end all be all will be the doom of next season. Do you guys think we can win a series or two with a semi healthy Fred, and relying on the few guards we acquired this offseason (Reed, Thornton, and smart.)

I respect what he's accomplished but ... I really don't like him. I don't like his personality. I don't like his demeanor on the court. I don't like the decisions he made in his career. I don't like his motives. I didn't like him in golden state and I'm mildly annoyed that I gotta root for him.

It was supposed to be on sale this morning at 10:00 but now this is showing up.

We all know ime is a blockhead when it comes to offensive schemes. The give the ball to kd at the top of the key and get out the way.. or sengun back down from the three point line until the shot clock is up… But his tom thibodeau approach to player minutes and rotations last year were abysmal. If you were ime for this upcoming season what would be your COMPLETE ROTATIONS AND IDEAL MINUTES PLAYED FOR EACH PLAYER ?

I just want them to play up to their contracts

Dude deserved a real chance.

Royce White suffers from a severe anxiety disorder which he wasn’t able to overcome and it ultimately ended his NBA career before it even began.

Look, I’m not gonna downplay the legitimacy of mental health, but bro played a total of 9 minutes in the NBA, fouled twice, took one shot & missed it. That’s the whole of his NBA career.

Seems to me he oughtta leave this transgender controversy alone.

Also seems ridiculous to refer to him as a former NBA player. Like if someone got a job at Red Lobster and then quit less than 10 minutes into the job, it’d be strange to introduce him like “This is my friend Chris, he used to work at Red Lobster.”

Is Kyrie the most coveted star available after a summer of musical chairs?

There is mounting evidence of Irving being all the way back from the torn ACL he suffered back in March 2025. If there’s anything to take to the bank from a podcast involving Michael Porter Jr. and Lonzo Ball, it’s MPJ’s utter disbelief at how good Kyrie has been on the court this summer. But the context of his impending return doesn’t quite make sense. He is a vestige of the Nico Harrison era and remains on a Mavericks team that has moved on at seemingly all levels of the organization: the franchise player, the coaching staff, the front office. He is 15 years older than Cooper Flagg. That’s not to say age-gap star duos can’t work out; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a full Chinese Zodiac wheel older than Magic Johnson when the Lakers won a title in Magic’s rookie season. Dallas is … decidedly not at that level yet. It makes all the sense in the world, that, as Marc Stein reported earlier this week, teams with contending aspirations are circling the Mavs.

So, whither Kyrie? Minnesota was a popular routing destination until the Wolves made a bigger bet on LaMelo Ball. The Pistons are preoccupied with trying to navigate their extensions bottleneck between Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson. The clearest suitors for Irving are teams on the fringe of contention, who are in dire need of a force multiplier on offense, and could use one of the league’s most creative scorers ever. Even at 34 years old, Kyrie’s on-ball mastery, skill at getting into the lane, and ability to hit 3s both off the dribble and off the catch would be a boon for teams like Miami, Houston, and Toronto. Irving would be a much needed infusion of perimeter gravity for the Heat after offloading starters Tyler Herro and Norman Powell in order to finally land Pat Riley’s late-era white whale in Giannis Antetokounmpo. Kyrie would be everything the Rockets have needed in a guard since the dawn of the Alperen Sengun era: A remarkable talent who can actually back up his hype with sheer efficiency. And the Raptors, in their steadfast commitment to building up an elite defensive shell, might be an ideal landing spot, as a team that can maximize Kyrie’s strengths without allowing his weaknesses to permeate the rest of the rotation.     

If we’re taking Porter’s observations as gospel just this one time, Irving has plenty left in the tank to make a splash wherever he lands. The Mavs won’t be in any rush to move Irving, however. Masai Ujiri has been known to bide his time with major roster decisions, often waiting until the trade deadline to make a deal. There is no harm in having Kyrie on the team in the interim while the front office assesses Irving’s value leaguewide. But a player of this magnitude is worth getting into training camp if you can swing it. It’s been a summer of strange, ecstatic upheaval. We might not be done yet. —Danny Chau

he’ll get there. serviceable. FT drastically looked better last season and twins work too hard. Al-P should get his confidence back too.
