So after luka got injured during the practice, we now have Klay Thompson injured in the preseason.

Klay Thompson suffers injury after just one game with Mavericks

Quote

Klay Thompson said his back “tightened up” on him tonight, but he said he’ll be “ready to go on Monday.”

I hope it's not serious, better bet as the regular season will be starting soon.

This seriously looks concerning in my opinion. I mean Thompson becomes injury prone after that major injury he had. Now, both Thompson and Irving are injury prone. Both of them might not be able to play as much games in the regular season like they used to. They can't win anything if they can't be healthy most of the time. Luka, can't do it alone though. Looking forward for Lively or Gafford step up big time for the Mavs this season. These 2 big men looks promising to me.

Things got a little heated in the Knicks vs Timberwolves preseason game today. Donte DiVincenzo Seems a little upset about the trade…

https://x.com/bleacherreport/status/1845628567540973731

It started from here I believe:
https://x.com/WadexFlash/status/1845628871468826646

Anyway, he's a bit pissed because he helped the Knicks clinch the playoffs, and he has a big contribution during the playoffs as well especially that dagger three in I think Game 1 or 2 against the Sixers that made them win on that game. Randle on the other hand, knew already that he's going to get traded hence, he doesn't feel anything about it, but I know how Donte is feeling when he got traded. Well, it's all business at the end of the day, and there's nothing that he can do but to rant to them. He's upset for a reason.

The Knicks won on their home still though.

He’s shown that he clearly wants to stay, but this is business—he’s not in control of his future, the team is. He was traded from the Warriors to the Knicks, and then moved to the Wolves. I see him more as a role player, and honestly, he should be happy that teams are still interested in getting him. All the decisions are strategic, and even Randle got traded despite contributing more before his injury. He just needs to calm down, and if he wants real revenge, he should help the Wolves make it to the NBA Finals—who knows, maybe they’ll face the Knicks!

He's for sure going to be another key player for the Warriors since Klay has left and he's the one to replace him.

If he continue playing like this then Warriors got a replacement for that spot, we know the system there's always Steph and Klay now it can be Hield to take that shot if the rotation of the ball went to his hands, it's a great sign that they might have a decent chance for this season's campaign.

Yes, there will be rotation for him as well but it's early to see that first and of course it will depend on Kerr's impression to him and if by the time needed to make adjustments.

In fairness with Wemby, he added some thickness for this year and that means progress to him. He's still got a lot of years to the NBA and he's now the front runner of Spurs, we just have to hope that he won't have any critical injury.

Yes, if he continue improving without any major injuries he got a long way to go, knowing coach Pop and Spurs managements, they are just observing and surely they will bring Wemby that aid he needs.

I've seen the preseason match of Lakers and Spurs, it's funny how he's guarded by a smaller player. And he's just bumping them.

The Utah Jazz are in great form. With victories against the Rockets and the Mavericks, they are in good spirits. Players like Keyonte George, Lauri Markkanen and Johnny Juzang are very effective on offense. The San Antonio Spurs, on the other hand, have a disorganized performance. After losing to the Thunder, they won against the Magic, but they haven't had a consistent performance.

The Utah Jazz will take the court with the confidence of having made three out of three in the preseason. Their performance so far has been very balanced both offensively and defensively. The San Antonio Spurs, on the other hand, are shaping their roster through trial and error, giving young players a chance. However, the San Antonio Spurs defensive weaknesses will be a disadvantage against a team with a fast paced offense and a high shooting percentage like the Utah Jazz.

Lauri Markkanen is really something. I have been vouching for this guy from Day 1 and I thought many teams would be interested in him like the Lakers. But there is no future with the Jazz. When did we last see the Jazz in the playoffs? Deron Williams? Karl Malone? Stockton? I know the Jazz is trying to make him the face of their franchise but they will not spend too much to surround him with great players. Clarkson is good but it doesn't work two way, they need more especially their bench.

I was a big fan of the Jazz when AK47 and Deron were there but after that, it's all a mess with their management not even trying to work out a great roster for them.

We saw them being on the top when they have Mitchell and Gobert on the team, but they just got eliminated in the playoffs.
They're still one of the teams right now in the NBA that still don't have an NBA title at all. Cheesy

Markkanen improved ever since he's still on Chicago, and got better when he went to Utah. He's an all-star player, and I'm surprised as well as to why he got an extension knowing that many teams really wanted him including Golden State. Like you though, I don't see any future with the Jazz right now. Well, Danny Ainge has lots of future draft picks so I wonder how many years will the rebuilding process take. Unlike you though, I dind't became a fan of Utah ever since, but they're strong when they got the players that you shared. Their strongest roster was when they got Stockton and Malone back in the days, but still can't get a title which is unfortunatel.

I wouldn't put too much stock on winning games in the preseason. Coaches are working on different rotations and different offensive and defensive schemes. Some teams play theor starters some don't. Not saying they don't look good it's just they aremt going to really be contending once the season starts. They are too many pieces away at this point to hang with the teams like Denver, okc, Timberwolves etc.

According to ESPN, two new teams will most likely join the NBA as of the 2027-28 season.

Possible cities:

♦️Mexico City (Mexico)
♦️Montreal (Canada)
♦️Vancouver (Canada)
♦️Seattle
♦️Las Vegas
♦️Kansas City
♦️Louisville
♦️San Jose
♦️Austin

I think Seattle could return. I have no idea which team it could be. But it would be nice to see new teams join the NBA.

If that happens, I’d say Klay might be a bit overrated, and it’s really the coaching staff that’s been developing players into superstars rather than them just being naturally gifted. I’ve noticed that once players are with the Warriors, they improve their 3-point shooting, which sets them up for better contracts with other teams if the Warriors don’t extend them. I’m looking forward to a consistent Buddy Hield this regular season and, of course, a healthy Warriors roster.

Klay is already good even before he was picked on GSW especially his 3 points accuracy since he was on par with Curry during their prime. Coaching staff just made him much better because he learn how to pick and roll, attack the rim and other skills which he can’t developed on his own.

But the natural is already there because it’s very hard to become a sharp shooter when you are already on a team while that’s not your original roll. He was assigned to be attacker on the perimeter because he was good at it the moment he was drafted.

I agree to that view, he got the potential as the agent who seen him playing before his debut inside NBA knew that he can fit to that position and it's true that it's the role of the coaching staff to develop that potential, the skills that he got just needed to be use, and that's how GSW management and coach help him.

Whatever team he play that talent will always be there with him, quality minutes and good discipline to continue improving his skills.

Well, I bet Lauri would disagree with you. He wanted to stay with the Jazz because he feels good in Salt Lake City. Obviously he had many offers but he told his agent that Utah is the place he wants to stay and play for, simple as that. Also he can't be traded until the 25/26 season now so he will definitely stick around.
Sure the teams doesn't look like much and most likely will end up in the bottom of the standings yet again, next year's draft class though is stacked with talent so a losing season might not be the worst thing that could happen to a team like Utah. Grin

I hope it's not serious, better bet as the regular season will be starting soon.

Probably he got a back spasm or something, maybe just a few massage and stretching he should be good to go so I don't think that there's nothing to be concern although it might be a bad sign that his body is not cooperating as early as this time.

For the Warriors though, they got another win against the Kings, and Buddy Hield had a so so performance unlike their first match against the Sacramento. He could be the next splash brother of Curry and as a result, could be the second option for the Warriors and there could be plays that Steve Kerr might design for Hield.

Buddy Hield has been a better player than Klay Thompson for about 4 years now. With Klay falling off drastically last year, Buddy is a massive upgrade. I think there are still a lot of people who aren’t familiar with his game. That will change this year. I can see Buddy being like Iguodala was for them when he came on. A wildly underrated player who is going to make a massive impact.

I know he was a star player back with the Kings, so we can definitely say he’s got skills. What I really like about him now is his high 3-point shooting percentage, and he fits perfectly with a team that relies heavily on shooting. As for comparing him to Iggy, I see Iguodala more as a defensive guy, so the comparison is pretty slim. But we haven’t seen Hield in the playoffs yet, if I’m not mistaken—that’s when we’ll really know if he can step up when it matters most, like how Klay Thompson does in those crucial moments, especially "Game 6 Klay."

Buddy Hield may look like the new Splash Brother and replaced Klay Thompson very well so far, and he did bring in some new energy to the team which they needed for a while now, even on their last championship. But I am not sure how long he can keep this up, after all this team is built on three point shooting and this means Hield will be getting some good shots but the moment he starts to miss, things could go very wrong.

Klay had the same problem, he had a streaky past, I remember when he broke the three point record with 14 threes in a game, dude was 5 out of 36 or something on previous games. Hield needs to make sure he is good but also consistently, I rather have someone with 3-4 threes made per game on 40%, then someone who shoots 5-6 threes, which is unreal to keep up.

News I didn’t expect to read this morning. RJ Barrett is being harassed on social media by a male prostitute who says that he is owed money for sex by RJ. He posted receipts showing that RJ Barrett has been sending him payments and it doesn’t look good. First gay sex scandal in the NBA since Dwight Howard…

These controversies are everywhere, coming from P Diddy to Dwight and now with Rj Barrett. But I guess people won't be investing their time on this issue.

What people are now is with the pre season games and wanting to see how the new rosters will come up.
