The Official 2025-26 NBA Regular Season Discussion Thread

BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are trading 10-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to the Washington Wizards for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, 2 first-round picks and 3 second-rounders, sources tell ESPN.

Dallas is receiving a 2026 Thunder first-round pick and a 2030 protected Warriors first-round pick in this deal from the Wizards along with second rounders in 2026 (Phoenix), 2027 (Chicago) and 2029 (Houston), sources tell ESPN.

So I guess the Wizards have Davis and Trae Young who are both out for multiple Weeks. They are pushing towards next Year but I doubt either are on the Team next Season.

The thought of Gordon and Lowry needing to play to spell Maxey is giving me a Nightmare on Elm Street Horror vibes. Love the haul but it makes us weaker at Guard unless the Sixers having something cooking but who knows. Sucks I loved the kid for sure thought it would be McCain, Maxey, and VJ's Team for the next 10 plus Years.

That Team is so deep SGA could take off for ages and they'll be fine.

Coby White (and Conley) to Charlotte for Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng and second-rounders, wow. I thought a contender was gonna grab White for sure, like Houston maybe.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Wolves could sign Conley now if he gets his contract bought out.

He might be a good fit for the team, I dunno.
