@BrettSiegelNBA @SpenDoc_ I disagree but if we wanna keep seeing multiple teams not trying to win then let’s keep pussyfooting it

🎯🎯
So many casual takes about tanking when no one will be tanking next year in that weak draft
Brett Siegel@BrettSiegelNBA
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Tanking is only in the spotlight this year because of the historic draft class we have. The current draft lottery system could definitely be updated slightly, especially picking top-5 or something in back-to-back years, but it doesn’t need a complete overhaul. Just change the odds of a team being allowed to receive a better draft pick year-after-year, and limit trades protections on picks to top 4 and lottery only. We do not need to have an 18-22 team lottery. That makes no sense whatsoever, nor does it prevent teams from still throwing in the towel on the season.

@BrettSiegelNBA @SpenDoc_ NBA teams have been egregiously tanking for a decade plus
English
@SpenDoc_ I mean, you’ll always have teams that give up. That’s been happening for 20+ years. But it happens in every sport.
English
A playoff time should have NO CHANCE at receiving a lottery pick.
That is not how you solve the issues with the current system.
This gives those teams who actually lack talent and can’t win an even smaller chance to improve and they’ll be stuck forever.
Brett Siegel@BrettSiegelNBA
All of these are horrible…
English
@BrettSiegelNBA Even draft odds. Why do we reward shit franchises?

@TheSteinLine Equal draft odds. Stop rewarding shit franchises.

Would be nice if just one of the NBA’s proposed ideas for lottery reform was something easily explained/understood for the actual basketball public.
These are all so ponderous/confusing and very likely to be an overreaction to a great 2026 draft class: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

No Castellanos versus a lefty is interesting. Maybe because it’s opening day so Sheets gets the honor?
San Diego Padres@Padres
Now we go.

@Yinoma2001 Would be nice to add a true 6th ma heater in offseason. Plus Smart, Kennard, LaRavia and a big for the bench.
English
Lakers bench scoring has been a problem for a long time. Blowing two 17th picks has really hurt depth.
SleeperLakers@SleeperLakers
Teams With The Fewest Bench Points Per Game (PPG) In The 2025-26 NBA Regular Season: 1.Houston Rockets — 28.0 2.Los Angeles Lakers — 28.3 3.New York Knicks — 31.7 4.Orlando Magic — 31.8 5.Toronto Raptors — 31.9 6.Philadelphia 76ers — 32.0 7.Cleveland Cavaliers — 32.9 8.Minnesota Timberwolves — 33.7 9.Phoenix Suns — 34.2 10.Denver Nuggets — 34.9 11.Los Angeles Clippers — 34.9 LA leans heavily on its stars and core rotation, not second-unit scoring. Is this stat just noise or will this comeback to bite us? (Via @statdefender) #lakeshow

@Yinoma2001 Add Seattle and Vegas. Move Memphis to Nashville. Move New Orleans to KC or Louisville. Move Grizzlie and Wolves to EC.
English
Expected. Likely Seattle/Las Vegas.
Maybe Ballmer sells his interests in Clippers and returns to Seattle where he would be appreciated.
Las Vegas who knows.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
This starts the NBA's 32-team expansion process. Multiple high-ranking officials have termed expansion as "when, not if." Now the NBA will examine Seattle and Las Vegas bids over the next several months, and whether to execute the new franchise purchases now or in a few years.

@Yinoma2001 Maybe Ime should stop talking shit like he’s ever done anything.

The Houston Rockets up 108-95, allowed THE LARGEST OVERTIME COMEBACK IN NBA HISTORY 😭🤣

@Yinoma2001 I’m really warming to Bron back for less $ and then adding more defenders for sure
English
I totally agree with this sentiment. One POA defender, another larger wing defender. It is pretty jarring that so much defensive identity depends on one player in Smart.
nyla@nylaabell
I think the Lakers will be better off finding two defenders to play ahead of Smart next year. His load is too much this year and I don’t think he should be playing back to backs consistently

After three years of sitting at the top, Jokic has been dethroned, and there’s a new no. 1 on our Top 100 NBA players ranking!

@Yinoma2001 Prob unlikely but keeping Bron and adding Dort, Goodwin, Time Lord to this team would be fun
English
IF LBJ is brought back (say 20-25m range):
1. centers (assuming Ayton opts in, and no IHART): Mitch Rob, Ayton, Hayes.
2. POA defenders: assuming Smart is back, but I would chase Keon Ellis. Goodwin also a name. Lakers may be interested in Dort.
English
@Yinoma2001 @calvingonba I would love to have Bron back if we could still get Peyton Watson
English
@calvingonba 20-25m is my guess. Otherwise Lakers can’t bring in needed center/wing/POA defense help.
