Looking like its gonna be a much tougher road next season if we are gonna repeat

The East for sure has gotten a lot stronger. Out West, it seems Denver isn?t gonna be that imposing anymore, unless they get some bench pieces. Is Minny the favorite there now?

Minny or OKC.  Denver still has the top-end talent, but they're just too thin.

Free agent sharpshooter Isaiah Joe has agreed to a new four-year, $48 million deal to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium . Joe joined OKC after being waived by the 76ers in 2022, and now earns a long-term contract.

Probably a good comp for Hauser.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and free agent F Aaron Wiggins have agreed to a new five-year, $47 million deal. After OKC declined his $2M team option, Wiggins receives $45M in new money, with a significant raise next season. Thunder lock in a key rotation piece long-term.

The Bulls are really sailing adrift.

I personally like it. They are taking a chance on three separate lottery picks that still have upside - Smith, Williams, and Giddey. That is all while keeping and developing Dosunmu and White.

I think they let DeRozan walk, or facilitate and sign-and-trade. Obviously they are trying to trade Lavine. They may keep Vucevic as a "stretch" big or they could trade him too. Then, when Ball comes back, they show he is healthy and ship him to another team also.

Smiths upside has always been limited.  That?s his problem.

I think the Knicks losing Hartenstein is a pretty big loss. I think they are going to miss him esp when Robinson gets hurt.

It is.  The Thunder have two years to win and then they?re going to start salary-dumping players.  They cannot afford their 2026-2027 roster.
