News from around the NBA 2025-2026

They have been having kinda a bonus season like us. We weren't supposed to win anything this season, either.

However, I think they own their 1st round pick.

They do. Crime if they get the one of the top guys coming out. BTW, we can now trade the 2027 and 2032 first rounders we own.

Although The Suns can't trade their 2027 first round pick until the draft.

I would like to see what we could pick up if we use the pick. You could bundle them at the draft. I would be very disappointed.

If the Suns use the 2027 first round pick, they might choose to bundle it with a player in a trade so they can better keep the players coming up for renewal.

That's going to be rough. We can't keep everyone. Someone may have to get traded. That's why we need to use the draft picks. Lower salaries.

The thing is though, some of the player's contracts may be tough to move without a sweetener. The CBA is tough to work around.

Worst case, you may be better off letting some guys walk. We got Goody because the Lakers had to let him walk.

Lots of tough calls. Gillespie, Goodwin and Coffee will be unrestricted free agents and Mark Williams is a RFA.

Williams is the worst. We gave up two picks to get him, but a lot of NBA pundits are saying if his price is too high, they have to let him walk.

There is the possibility of a sign and trade if it comes to that.

Oso playing up top like Alvin Adams but without the outside shot.

 

[Raindog]

Saw this yesterday. Hope he gets on the HOF this year as he's a finalist. Marques Johnson dunks at 70 years old.

He dunks on his birthday every year but this year being a milestone and also being a HOF finalist helped give him more coverage.

He had a good career also with the Bucks and Clippers. Former 5x All-Star.

Wowser, he's freaking 70? Uggh, does that make me feel old. I remember his rookie year when Sweet D and Bernard King were newbies, too.

Dunk contest between Marques and Raindog for a case of Geritol!

Throw in some Metamucil and you have a deal!

Bill Simmons questions whether Giannis is still a top-five player and doesn’t think teams should trade all their assets for him.“He doesn’t play… He’s closer to Embiid than Jokic… He gets hurt all the time. I’d be really scared.”(

Since Joel Embiid won MVP in 2022-23:
Embiid — 91 games played
Jokic — 87 triple-doubles

The Bucks waive Cam Thomas.

He's really fallen off and fast. He's young but apparently not worth the headache.

And he wouldn't be playoff eligible either. The Suns would be having to look at next season and waive a player. Also, the financial part might not work either.

He's an undersized chucker. Like a less skilled Jordan Poole. I'd rather not take a look. He needs to change his game before he ends up in Asia. He's too me-first in his style to go to Europe.
