Seems this post is pinned so here are the 2025/26 award predictions that I've received so far! If you haven't sent already then feel free to shoot me your list!

@Belserion LaMelo

Heard he's seeking a second opinion. Poor guy. He was having a great season.

 

[Hakuteiken]

I think if you let me do it instead you won't have to move JJJ into the roster, costing you a slot, so I will send it myself instead.

Still needed to drop a guy, but not really a big deal, anyways.

 

[scav]

Yeah man, there was no spectacle to it, it just looked so sad haha. I heard that's the first time he's dunked in a few years..

first dunk since 2019, made me laugh. dude was def holding back with Detroit

Not just that but the very first points he gets with the Nets, completely intentional.

But honestly whoever thought he couldn't was insane.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 22, 2021 ---

Lamelo was clearly the ROY, and it was because of merits unlike the hype he was getting at the start of the season. A shame really.

Now it's probably Ant or maybe Haliburton.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 22, 2021 ---

Oh there's also Quickley. Anything else (Wiseman, Bey, Tate) is just impossible, the way I see it.

Edwards has really gotten comfortable with his game since all star break, if LaMelo is out for the season, he's the clear frontrunner.

Well, a new coach and D'lo/Beasley being out had a lot to do with it, but agreed.

 

[goldb]

Speaking of coach, Hawks are on a decent run since the team ousted the previous coach.

Also Aaron Gordon looks to have demanded a trade from Orlando.

 

[Hardy]

Afaik he has been wanting out for a while. I like his fit in Portland for example where they could always use athleticism and defense.

I would had liked him on the TWolves which has been the rumour since the off season but he is more of a perimeter defender (so he won't be covering KAT) and they kinda need shooters on the other end...

I hope he goes to the Bulls

 

[Hakuteiken]

With his recent resurgence, Anthony Edwards indeed took the leap. He now has the 4th worst true shooting percentage in the league. That just proves how terrible of a start he had.

I'd like to see this sort of improvement in an environment where Wolves do something serious instead of pulling a "might as well let our lottery pick shoot however he wants". We will see, though. Not everyone is that quick out of the gates.

Waiting for Heat to acquire Lowry

Yes it's been previously reported, the difference being that this time it looks like a formal request rather than lockroom stuff or media rumours. But I agree, he would be good with Portland, for example.

 

[Hardy]

I like him in Dallas a bunch too but they will probably prioritise other sort of players (like Redick who I can't imagine staying in NOLA). Both are possible I guess.

I thought "it's impossible he is on 30m" but you guys have some really bad contracts to match...

iggy, onylyk, harkless, bradley

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 23, 2021 ---

thought it's more urgent to get a PF who can start

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 24, 2021 ---

4 in a row, we really need Lowry

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 24, 2021 ---

Fcking 76ers trying to snatch Lowry and raising the price

 

[goldb]

I love that the Magic are dealing away everyone except the one guy who actually requested a trade lol.

 

[scav]

it's because of him that they're clearing the deck

 

[goldb]

Okay so Magic have broken down everything. Time to rebuild. Is Fultz still around or injured?

 

[scav]

lol checking Woj twitter literally every 5mn for the Lowry deal. fucking Masai

 

[Hardy]

Rondo for Lou Will. Lmao Rondo on the clips.

 

[scav]

He gon' snitch on the Lakers plays, then they will lose again to another team in round 2

Ok fuck Masai, Dipo is the new homie
