Top 4 teams in each conference that will surely be in the playoffs:

Thunder, Celtics, Cavs, Knicks, Lakers, Nuggets, Bucks & Grizzlies



7 teams will be lottery teams:
Wizards, Hornets, Pelicans, Jazz, Blazers, Bulls and Nets
*almost sold out their players except Blazers



Too many good teams in West:
Mavs(Davis,Kyrie&Klay), Wolves(the rise of Antman), Rockets(young guns), Clippers(Harden&Kawhi), Warriors(Curry&Butler), Spurs (rise of Wemby&Fox), Suns(KD&Book), Kings(LaVine&DeRozan)


In East,
The Better 4: Pacers(Paskal&Tyrese), Pistons(rise of Cade), Magic(Paolo&Franz), Heat(better than w/ Butler drama)

In Limbo:
Sixers(Embiid availability),
Hawks(No Jalen),
Raptors(Ingram timetable and if they can catch up)

Have y seen Durmont Jr. - this fat, strange lucking bad as...?

How proud and stupid y have to be - he is a son and Harris is a manager - both are no self made man - opportunist without vales, heart or soul. A issue in and outside basketball. Bad so ugly to see it highchecking the Mavs.

Mavs are sold.

But ok, if you are doing that, why do y trade for Davis and a 1st???

Davis is already for month. He was never health a season long.

Why not:

Sign Luca supermax at 72mio.

Trade:

DAL Two max players, 3x1st
Team(s) Luca, Maxi

Because y are proud? Because y need to show, y are the boss - as. Dot.

Teams will be needing to sign players because of their roster counts

Warriors (12)
Kings (12)
Sixers (13)
Cavs (13)

Any suggestions or predictions who fits on these 4 teams??

NBA ALLSTAR GAME:
Team Shaq
C: Davis
PF: LeBron
SF: Durant
SG: Tatum
PG Curry
Bench: Lillard, Harden, Brown

Team Kenny
C: Jackson Jr
PF: Mobley or Williams
SF: Edwards
SG: Cunningham
PG: Brunson
Bench: Garland, Herro, M/W

Team Chuck
C: Jokic
PF: Towns
SF: Giannis
SG: Mitchell
PG: Shai
Bench: Wemby, Siakam, Sengun

Team Shaq is full of Legends and there is only one Bigman

Team Kenny is young guns, and the most balance team with 2 PG and 2 Bigmen

Team Chuck is consists of international players, full of Bigmen(4 center) with only 2 guards

Team Kenny could win this game but everybody wants Team Shaq vs Team Chuck face in the finals..

If y compare the new Spurs to Mavs now:
Would you take Davis or Wembanyama?
Would you take Gafford or Sochan
Would you take Martin or Johnson
Would you take Thompson or Vassell
Would you take Kyrie or Fox

Mavs will not win a ring this year. IF they can add KD in the summer, they may have one run in 2026. If it fails - done. It may even fail, because of health issues. So Mavs have a lot to trade in 2026

DAL 2xst, 1st, 1st
TeamA Davis
TeamB Kyrie
TeamC Durant

I hope we see already this year new my Lakers again Dallas winning. : )

What do you think about the trade deadline so far?

Doncic for Davis, Max
Lavine / Fox / Picks deal
Butler for Wiggins Tucker pick
Ingram for Brown, Olynyk picks
Theis to Thunder is another underrated move
Knecht, Reddish pick for Mark Williams
Kuzma for Middleton deal

This could be one of the most interesting deadlines so far

Who wins?

I think the opinions on the Luka trade is clear.

I love the idea of a Fox-Wemby pairing.

Lots of people have said they don't like the deal for GSW but I think you'd rather have Butler and Curry and just figure it out from there.

I love Ingram in Toronto

Not too sure about the Thunder but Theis is pretty good.

I'm kinda surprised the Lakers gave up Knecht early, he was one of their best young prospects. Getting a center, though, is pretty big.

It's kinda sad to see Middleton not commanding any value. Kuz I guess is an upgrade?

06 Feb 2025 19:50:00
Well just like that the Thunder waived Theis.

07 Feb 2025 01:39:40
Pels got draft capital on a guy that wasn’t going to resign and is often injured. Brown is expiring and they’ll move Olynk before new season. I wish they could’ve moved CJ also.

07 Feb 2025 09:33:01
LAL are a better and even younger team. : )

LUKA-DAVIS trade reaction:
I have mixed emotions, YUP Lakers got their new face franchise player bcoz of LeBron's near retirement.. but Davis has been a BIG part for Lakers organization.. and Mavs could have got more picks maybe 5 1st rd picks.. and Christie is a good pick up for Mavs.. and lastly Jazz are too greedy they receive two 2nd rds for an expiring contract..


FOX-LAVINE 3 team trade:
Spurs securing their future PG pairing with Wemby.. Zach and DeMar reunion could build good chemistry.. Bulls are in tank position and getting a first rounder isn't half bad, lets see what happens in draft lottery..


And lastly Im waiting for Butler trade since day one of 2025 but Suns having a hard time to trade Beal, because of
1. his trade right clause
2. his enormous contract
They could find a taker for Beal but He doesnt want to waive his trade clause, and Playoff teams are hesitant to take his big contract..

I dont know if Beal wants to go Brooklyn.. could use Simmons expiring contract..

2 heavyweight deals in 24hrs. NBA is shaking. Jimmy Butler trade next.

02 Feb 2025 14:32:27
Anthony Davis to Dallas for Luka.

Someone needs to do a wellness check on that crazy Maverick fan.

03 Feb 2025 07:39:15
I like this for both teams.

A Davis is the third best big man in the league behind Joker and Giannis. He's also a better fit with Kyrie. They came close with Doncic, but i think they have a better chance winning it with this team.

04 Feb 2025 20:23:48
I can’t possibly disagree more Gasupo. They’re out of contention because they don’t have a #1 anymore. Kyrie and AD aren’t the best player on a champion. Luka was that tier of player.

05 Feb 2025 08:54:32
Gasupo you do realize that AD in New Orleans had plenty of help but achieved nothing?

02 Feb 2025 06:23:33
As a Lakers fan, i'm in mixed emotions right now. I know they're thinking future after Lebron and Luka fits in LA business. However, losing one of the best big men today is really hard. I dont know who won this trade, future will tell. Dallas now with 3 headed monster in Davis Gafford & Lively which is very similar to Davis Dwight & Javale who won with the Lakers. I dont expect improvement right away for my Lakers but i hope they can atleast get Myles Turner to anchor their defense along with DFS & Vando 🥲
I'm thinking Dallas will make another win now move and PJ washington could be out the door and be swapped to a starting caliber 3.

02 Feb 2025 11:49:07
You just take Luka and worry about the rest later.

03 Feb 2025 07:39:56
LA is a free agent destination. They should wait and sign Giannis in 27.

02 Feb 2025 06:17:08
Dallas next possible move, go for Jimmy. Imagining a starting 5 of Kyrie, Klay, Jimmy, Davis, Lively. Of course might be hard due to salary matching
