2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

I agree with a few folks online who are questioning how effective Dort will be if he leaves OKC and doesn’t get the benefit of the whistle anymore. He’s still a good defender but he gets a ton of rope.

 

Dort is just like donkey, overrated af. Dirty guy, getting special treatment. f*** them both

 

Sneak peak Lakers at practice

 

yeah, i lol'd when i read al horford complaining that everyone grabs steph curry. i'm like, well, he does have lead blockers on every play, so maybe that evens things out a bit?

i had also forgotten this bogut clip, but it was VERY validating for me to hear an nba player talk about what i used to call "run officiating", where nba refs got like leslie nielson in the naked gun when a team got on a heater. i can still remember like, joey crawford and d*** bavetta doing a complicated interpretive dance version of block/charge calls in these moments.

 

btw, another UFA next summer that nobody talks about is marvin bagley. he's quietly become a very playable backup big in the mold we could use, imo.
