bottom tiers summer league the Net’s five first round picks is an odd thing the Jazz might trade Walker Kesler you got He’s young and good one of these teams by the way might get Ace Bailey here the next group what is the plan the Heat didn’t want to offer anybody for Kevin Durant the Raptors I I don’t fully understand the the Pelicans are just stuck in this no man’s land the Suns I I I know what they think they’re going to do the Blazers trading for Drew Holiday i’m confused on the direction possibly Frisky just two teams i don’t hate contract year Chris Staps with the Hawks the Grizzlies are odd because it seems like you know last year was totally disappointing they’re two games from the two seed looking forward to 2026 i think for the Mavs the Celtics and the Pacers what you are excited about is the season after this one you know what I mean for a full year from Kyrie plus you know Stars year two is when they can really usually typically start impact winning the Celtics when you get Tatum back the Pacers when you get Hallebertton back round two ceiling for the Clippers Warriors and Pistons I think all these teams honestly I don’t see a huge reason to believe they’re going to be substantially different next year than they were this past year all right these two teams may be controversial having high but they’re the X factors and that is the Spurs and the Sixers they have two guys who are 72 and 75 respectively who if they play a full season and if they are the version that we all think they can be either one of those teams can contend next group four Eastern Conference teams sitting right there and I’m including the Bucks in that out of nothing but blind respect for Giannis a a trip to the finals is sitting right there for one of those four teams need another piece for the Lakers we know what it needs to be it needs to be a guy as Brew used to say with the Warriors a guy who’s 7 feet tall can walk and chew gum at the same time but they need a big Right they need a big man i The Nuggets need in my opinion another versatile wing that they can trust in the postseason and I’ll be This is maybe bad television i apologize i don’t know what I think the Timberwolves need but I know they need something number one contenders the Houston Rockets they needed a guy you could trust in the final five minutes of a playoff game to get you a bucket and I understand they did not get prime Kevin Durant they didn’t need prime Kevin Durant and then of course the top the tiers the champs uh they’re just going to bring everybody back and everybody but Caruso is so young they have to pay an extra charge when they rent a car so I think they’re all going to be a little bit better that is the way too early 26 tiers
