    Kyrie might not even play this season… Even if he does he will be compromised.

    He donโ€™t have a robin dropping 26+ per game also

    Gotta be the worst list heโ€™s ever made๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™

    Stephen’s All-Antique Team. SAS went on record a while back saying he’d rather build a team around Anthony Davis than Nikola Jokic.

    I think Trae Young Wemby LeBron Steph and Giannis is my top 5

    Trae is in a contract Year with a very good roster in a wide open eastern conference Trae Young could easily make the conference finals if healthy i like Trae to finish top 5 in MVP voting… Lead the NBA in assists… He will start in the all star game and be a all NBA player this season if healthy

    Wemby is literally a monk ๐Ÿคฃ I’m sure we will see some extraordinary things from him this season he will probably be all NBA… Defensive player of the year & I like the spurs to be a top 6 seed and make some playoff noise. WEMBY WILL BE IN HIS PRIME NEXT YEAR!!!

    Giannis could really shake up the playing field we still don’t know what’s going to happen with him but I believe a blockbuster trade is coming and I believe it makes sense that the warriors may be able to get their hands on the Greek freak & maximize the end of Steph’s career

    Steph & LeBron because you can never count them out these guys are still top 7 players in the world today and both having 4 championships I don’t believe it’s meant to end in the history books I believe one of these players will win another ring before they call it quits

    OKC 2 peat they too good on defense and they locked in on team. They donโ€™t have any hopes they are already together

  21. @jedthezed3599

    August 22, 2025 at 11:08 pm

    I actually agree…and it’s a HUGE IF….if Kyrie and AD are healthy at the end of the season they have a really good chance to make some noise. Healthy/Peak AD is top 5 player..

    People don’t realize how deep the Mavs are. But….they have to stay healthy. They have the perfect mix of youth and vets.
