2026 off season

Wow. Our future is bright. We have the next Charles Barkley at pf, the next Kahwi, at SF, and the next Dikembe at center.

Hope springs!


Wait for it . . .

The closest any of those come to being true is probably ManMan becoming Dikembe with a jumper. If he hits it will help a ton as franchise bigs are easiest to build a perennial contender around. See Giannis, Wemby, Jokic, Embiid, and many others. Even 2nd banana bigs like KAT and AD help make it easier for the star of the team.

There it is! Hoop took the bait.

I've pushed ManMan as Dikembe with a jumper before he was a Sun so of course I took the bait. I can't recall being as hyped over a prospect. It's been well over a decade.

Hmm. Looks like a basketball court.

I used to think the Embid comparison was a pipe dream. I don't anymore. He is showing the work ethic and desire to drastically improve his game, and it's working.
