News from around the NBA 2026-2027

Presti has always been viewed as a top tier GM and he's proven that in OKC. A small market with a cheap owner has been a contender or playoff team since it moved from Seattle. He learned in San Antonio under Pop and Co before being the 2nd youngest GM ever hired at 30 years old back in 2007. His...

Devin Booker is the greatest player EVER in Suns history

We can say what we want about Book's extension from last year but ultimately we're fans and most of us have some bias as well. Here is Tim Legler commenting on Book's contract though, which I'd imagine is more in line with executives across the league.

2026 off season

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.

2026 off season

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...

He is. Being a 3&D player doesn't assign a position as it's a skill set. Of course you want more from a PF but most of the league has bigger 3&D guys at PF like Aaron Gordon.

Suns draft Khaman Maluach with the 10th pick

He has received top tier coaching for years now, which helps. He was at Duke, of course, but also played for the Sudanese national team for the last 3 years and has been enrolled in an NBA academy in Africa since 2019. He was the youngest player in the men's Olympics for basketball also. Hes...

Jalen Green 'Preciation Thread

They have had short runs like when they had Arenas, Larry Hughes, and Antwaun Jamison. Then again briefly with Wall and Beal. They cant stay healthy and they just added 2 chronic injury cases in Trae Young and Anthony Davis. Sarr and Dybantas should be a good pair but I can't see them staying in...

I still like Fleming more than Dunn. He's a better defender and although not as reliable of a scorer he is more likely to give you more than his average than Dunn, who is very basic.

Version I've read is Herro was mad Bam didn't speak up for him and say he wanted Herro retained rather than traded for Giannis. Herro confronted Bam for not having his back and the rest is history. Not sure how think that's like Bridges.
