Exclusive Around the NBA: February, 2026!

Dogs playing harmonica......I like it.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I lived there during the Stockton Malone years. Most obnoxious fans ever. I never would survived through the first quarter of the Blazers' games.
I still hate them.

 

[GoZers]

In my opinion Vucevic is more valuable because he is expiring too. I like Jrue as a player, I just can't stand his contract.

They both have shown they are all star level players. With scoot coming back and Loves progression, i'd rather have the center minutes because Yang is not anywhere close to being ready.

Jrue is going to end up as an overall “bad” asset. Production, salary, lack of need. Just zeros across the board

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Jrue is tradeable and I would not be shocked if he is traded before the deadline or this summer. honestly I wonder if his injury was as serious as it seemed ( games he missed ) or if they wanted to make sure he was healthy for the deadline. It's kind of funny he came back like 2 weeks before the deadline -- hmm just saying

Already been a pretty crazy trade season, with still 2 days to go until the deadline!

 

[blazerkor]

This is crazy good value for the Clippers.

 

[Mrvioletowl]

With Memphis tanking I want us to try and get Aldama.

 

[wizenheimer]

I'm wondering if the punitive nature of the aprons in this new CBA is generating a lot of trade momentum

 

[THE HCP]

I want Sabonis

 

[HailBlazers]

I want Sabonis

Sr

 

[riverman]

I want Sabonis

He's got a girlfriend already!

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Super surprised that Cave traded Garland for Harden.

No brainer great deal for the Clips.

I'd seriously explore trading Kawhi and just build the team around Garland.

 

[Cugel]

Garland has durability issues. Cant stay on the court

 

[andalusian]

Garland has durability issues. Cant stay on the court

Also, it gets them out of 2nd apron next year

 

[THE HCP]

 

[andalusian]

Is that good?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

That's Crazy..... Tons of guys scored a lot at 18 or 19.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Top scoring teenagers;

Zion Williamson (23.6)
LeBron James (21.9)
Carmelo Anthony (21.0)
Luka Dončić (20.9)
Kevin Durant (20.3)

Surprised none of them had three consecutive 30 pt games. I guess they all were just very consistent scorers night in night out even at a very young age.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

This is a more comprehensive list - some guys didn't play many games though;

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Odd that its all players in the last ~25 seasons.

I'd think Magic Johnson or someone else would have been up there. Maybe statmuse doesn't have older data. (edit Magic was 20 on his NBA debut)

 

[THE HCP]

So since we don’t hate this guy or his team……are THESE numbers good? Or could you imagine if Yang did this?

He's damn good! I wish he was a Trail Blazer.
