NBA Season 2025-26

Not sure if there is a better team fit for Towns than NYK. I'd be moving on from Brunson before Towns as there are a lot of teams that would pick up Brunson for his offense today and overpay. Towns needs to fit a team.

Maybe we see the Zion (+picks) for Towns swap. Another is a trade for Giannis. I could see those possibly working

Towns on paper isn?t the same as Towns in reality.

Allegedly, 386 players submitted voting for all star ballots, they voted for 364 different players.  If true, this is why players shouldn't vote for awards.

Apparently Bronny James got two votes.

The results are wild regarding who got votes:

I've seen players make dumb choices. I've seen fans make dumb choices. I've seen coaches make dumb choices. Honestly the best way to do it is how we already do it, give everybody an input and let the shear mass o votes drown out the people who don't take it seriously.

Exactly.  For example, the fans had JB 5th in the East, while the players and media were much more correct with their rating him 3rd and 1st.

Cunningham should be 1 in east, but after that great argument for JB at 2.

The Knicks are considering trading Karl-Anthony Towns and have discussed potential deals with the Magic, Hornets, and Grizzlies, per @StevePopper (h/t @RealGM)

If I was the Knicks I would be negotiating with the Nets for Michael Porter Jr.

A deal involving Wizards 2026 1st round pick + Towns & Yabusele for Porter Jr & Mann.

Brunson
Bridges
Anunoby
Porter Jr
Robinson

Hart, Clarkson, Mann, McBride, Hukporti

Good game on between Rockets and Spurs.

Interesting idea. It leaves NY short of bigs though. Only M Robinson. I wonder if the deal would work better if we swapped out T Mann for Nic Claxton.

So MPJ + N Claxton for Towns + Yabu. Money is slightly off. They could rejig it somehow. Maybe keep T Mann in the deal and add Josh Hart. That works.
