Yeah, it's fair to say that we can't draw any major conclusions from the preseason. These games don't really count for much, and players are just out there having a good time, not going too hard to avoid injuries.

But, you know, some players were really shining in the preseason. They were putting up big minutes to keep things interesting. However, this one player, I don't know, I can't help but wonder. We can't judge him right now, but I'm pretty curious about his regular season performance. If he stays as consistent as he was in the preseason, maybe there's an issue with the system or coaching, not Lillard.

---

Absolutely, that player is still on fire, no change at all. But man, Lillard seems to be struggling big time with his 3-point shooting lately. It's a bit concerning.

With the way Harden is acting so far, the 76ers should not expect much from him. He wants out, and they should grant his request. I'm confident they can trade him for some good players. Why delay the inevitable when they'll eventually grow tired of keeping a player who is not willing to be part of the team? Harden is done; he has openly expressed his disinterest in playing with the team, so there's no reason to prolong his agony.

It's not that easy process though, just like what happened to Ben Simmons. It will take a lot for the Sixers or to the team that will get Harden. So far his preference team of Clippers doesn't want to sacrifice their players just to get Harden.

So they are not in a hurry, and I think it Harden is going to be traded, he might not land on Clippers itself.

Or they need to involved another team in the process to get it done.

This situation could happen because, like Lillard, he demanded a trade to the Miami Heat but ended up with the Bucks. Now, he's already playing, and it seems like he's happy with his current team. So, the James Harden trade may already be in progress, as they can't afford to just let Harden sit while the team suffers.

Consider what they have sacrificed to get James Harden. Millsap is no longer active, so they would be seriously undermanned without James Harden playing. Let's stay positive about this situation, hoping that it will be resolved so that both camps can move on.

This lineup looks promising, but they are still a young team. The average age for this lineup is 22 years old. If they can develop a winning mentality like experienced players, I think they could be quite formidable. However, preseason performance doesn't always translate directly to regular-season success.

Wembanyama is probably the heart of this team, and it's undeniable that he's gained a lot of popularity and hype. Let's see what he can contribute to the team. If he can help the Spurs become a playoff team, that would be a good success to start with.



Yeah, his mid-range jumper is lethal, and he's clutch as well. He and Curry had some great moments in their game against the Kings during that comeback win. I can already say that CP3 fits well with the Warriors, or at the very least, he makes the team better whenever he's on the court.

This starting lineup looks promising, but I wouldn't call them a scary team at the moment. As Natalim said above, they are still too young, and if they can reach the playoffs or at least a play-in tournament, it will be an accomplishment for them. However, I'm more than sure that Coach Pop can nurture them well as players, and who knows, maybe the Spurs will start a new dynasty with Wembanyama at the helm.

That's the main concern for players like him. He's tall and mobile, which means there's a likelihood he'll get injured. If that happens, the team will suffer, and the hype will die down. There's no doubt he's a great player. Plus, the fact that he's working with Coach Pop, he's sure to improve under the NBA's oldest coach with multiple championships under his belt. Maybe he can help create another big 3, with Wemby being the Duncan, but possibly even better, given the kid's got plenty of moves!

People are hyped up about the Spurs' performance in the preseason, especially Wendy. They think this team could be a playoff contender, but we've got to keep it real - preseason is one thing, but the regular season is where it all counts. Sure, Wemby might average 20ppg per game, but he can't do it alone. He needs solid support from his teammates. If he doesn't get that support, he could easily get frustrated. To stop him, his defender has to bring their A-game, maybe even double-team him to keep him away from his sweet spots. They'll need to force him to shoot from outside. He's good at that too, but it's better than letting him stroll into the paint for an easy 2 points.

That guy has already retired, if I am not wrong. He retired in 2019. So I don't think there are much benefit about talking about what he did wrong. But we all know that the Internet is a weird place. People are going to talk about things anyway. And people just found something to talk about which looks hilarious to some people. But I definitely think that the player is not playing professionally anymore. So they should leave him alone.



This young team has really good potential to achieve great things. The only thing is, I think they will have to avoid injuries. That is the only thing that will hold them behind. Otherwise this team is definitely going to achieve a lot. And obviously they will also have speed in their favour. Remember, they are young. So they are going to be a lot more adventurous. There are positives and negatives of that. They might pull off some incredible plays. But at the same time that play style is going to be more injury prone.
