Random NBA Observations 2025 - 2026

Passing on Cam might have been for the better if y’all end up with whatshisname from NOP.

For sure Joe is the weakest link, tho if Topic is just Serbian Josh Giddey then I don’t see the fit either.

The fat espn guy mentioned y’all are coming to an affordability inflection point with Hartenstein, which is interesting bc he’s been a key piece.

I don't know how much Topic plays anyway since he might not be a good enough shooter & he isn't going to be a good defender. Daigneault will play him because they have to figure out what he is after a year & a half plus of waiting, but I doubt he gets a long leash just because of defense. Joe only really gets the leash he does because of his shooting.

Don't think anything happens with IHart until the off-season. Would have to find an amazing deal that not only replaced him without a crazy drop-off but also be cheaper for it to make sense. Also don't think the Thunder are as worried about the money as people think since most people just default to Harden as their reasoning & ignore everything since. Personally think they try to sign him to a long term deal for less money yearly & worry about it later.

At this rate Embiid may finish this season a top 5 player again, and not #5 or #4.

Hopefully it’s not the same PEDs Paul is on

I highly doubt the leauge hasn't been testing Embiid like crazy already, players recovering from the same injury multiple times gotta be at high risk for PED usage and drugs, there's more urgency for em. Garland probably dealing with the same shyt
