Oh I hope we can give the Lakers a run for their money. Would be perfect to beat them early in the season. LeBron would walk out without blinking and Luka would pout as we've seen so many times.

We play the Clippers 3X in the first 10 games. Want to see Beal lose so bad.

That's a tough task. We may see a lot of early season losses for the Suns.

I wouldn't want to stand between Montrezl Harrell and $1 million.

Per a report, the Kings have been trying very hard to trade Malik Monk.

What an abominably stupid franchise.

Monk is better than 2025 Westbrook and by a gigantic margin.

I also cannot fathom a better way to waste everything that Sabonis brings to the table than pairing him with Westbrook.

I’m in NYC this week and went to the giant NBA store in Manhattan about an hour ago. What a fantastic store and they surprisingly had a good amount of Suns stuff and a ton of KD jerseys on “clearance”. They were still $80.

The Kings are kind of like scrambled eggs, all mixed up. I liked them better when they were stuck in point guard land.

The Cavaliers and Knicks reportedly have some interest in Malik Beasley.

I don't see a draft prospect for next year thread if I am missing it please move.

one of the most interesting guys for me next year is UCLA PG Donovan Dent the transfer from New Mexico. Reports are he's just crushing it in practices so far, several national columnists have come away from UCLA practices saying Dent is a 1st team All American and possible 1st rounder. he's only about 6'1" but has long reach and apparently has made great strides defensively and was already a really good offensive player.

Great story wanted to go to UCLA out of HS but during Covid exposure was limited. Cronin was interested and would have offered him but they had Tyger Campbell and had Dylan Andrews committed in the same class as Dent. Mick loved the kid but said he wasn't a good shooter and with Covid not enough people had seen him play. Mick convinced New Mexico to look at him he's friends with Pitino Jr and they offered him. Even San Jose State hadn't offered him. Worked his butt off and wanted to come out last year but was likely going to go undrafted so transferred to UCLA and now is getting some love for 1st round from national columnists.

Can't wait to see him at UCLA and I love to hear there's still good stories like this with AAU and stuff it just seems so much of the development process is gone now they come into the NBA and have to be developed there.
