If we consider him a star, and I do out of sheer team bias, Mikal Bridges is quietly in a prime position. He’s allowed to work his game with virtually no pressure because nobody expects the Nets to contend, and he’s loved in Brooklyn already, so I think he could very well continue his offensive breakout into next season.
This is a really good take not enough people are talking about. Potential MIP/allstar. I think his ceiling for this season is All NBA 3rd team, despite it being unlikely.
@@tigeryumyums9407 honestly if he continues the step up in play that he has with that last 20 odd games with the nets, and his defensive versatility, he could make second team I think. Maybe next year even first if he continues to elevate 🤔 or im a delusional nets fan take your pick
Exactly! While playing 83 games again
@@zbxlt292 It won't be 83 games again
That’s not a good situation
100% agree with your take on OKC. They already made the play-in WITHOUT Holmgren. If you told me they win 50+ games this year, I wouldn't be surprised. They have a potential to be a top 5 defense. Plus, with all their draft capital they have the ability to address almost any weakness before the trade deadline. I think they badly need more shooting. But there are always shooters out there available for the right picks.
OKC cann be this generations dynasty
Would not be surprised if they win a championship within next 5 years
Quick note on the Mavs: The Derrick Lively draft pick is something to take note of. He may fill that gap well at Center they’re looking for.
Im glad Swish mentioned Russ. Clippers seem like a much better fit for him, and I think he’ll be a good influence on the locker room. Kawaii and PG are just some chill-ass dudes, Russ can bring some leadership and energy in big games.
If Harden come in tho……
@@hmmmmmm6901how would that even work lol
As a Lakers fan, I feel confident about the offseason retains and new additions. I think this is a good enough roster to try to contend with.
Y’all not getting another one
Faxts idk y y’all hyping the lakers rosters up🚮
No way behind suns and team that sweptvlast year
@@andresdelportillo9917 maybe not but bron already all time 2nd with 4 rings 😁
@@revenge8215 all time in turnovers too
“Which was a lot closer than the sweep would indicate “ 😂😂 bruh there was nothing close about that series 4 straight games I rewatch and it looks like Denver was playing with their food
Jimmy Butler has done extradinatory things with this heat team especially all the ups and downs they had in last regular season Jimmy Butler bam adebyo just need a primary scorer around both them to ultimately win the championship 🏆.🏀
That's all they need? 😂
Russell Westbrook's $7.8M contract is still disgustingly low. I guess if they're really expecting James Harden to sign with them, they'll have to cut costs somewhere to fit him in with the new CBA which would explain Russ' financial reduction if it comes to fruition, but Dillion Brooks is literally getting paid 10x's the amount Russ is.
Extremely low
Yea 3.5 million a year for a former mvp and a guy yk will be on the floor every night giving 15 a game, too damn low
Like PG said in his podcast, Russ has all the money already so he doesn’t care that about that. All he really wants is a place that accepts him and where he can have fun, and
the Clippers is that for him.
The main reason why russ had such a target on his back on the lakers was due to his contract. We've seen how much that pressure and criticism affected his mental, his family's life, his professional life. I think he signed that 7 mil contract intentionally to take that target off his back again, and get back to just playing ball. I think he knows he's already had the supermax, something 90% of nba players would never touch, so he's satisfied. Imo it's still way too low but as long as in his eyes this is what works for him and his family, that's all that matters.
@@yorozuyagin-chan6584facts Russ is home in LA, and thriving on the Clippers. I don't like Brooks but he is like 10 years younger than Russ. They can't keep pay Westbrook like he's still the 2017 version
Yes a great birthday video!! Thanks man!! Love your videos!!
as a lakers fan I feel really confident this roster can win a championship. I think nuggets are and should still be the favorites but they got a little worse this offseason while we picked up a couple good pieces. im super excited for next season and hope lebron can win his 5th ring
Not gonna happen
@@kevinbarker9351it’s def a possibility😂 why y’all want lebron and the lakers to fail so badly ahaha
@@rhettsumner5127Nobody want them to failed it's just not gonna happened.
@@colindowden2182 and how do you know that? They just made it to the wcf after starting 2-10 and made improvements, it definitely can happen lol
@@rhettsumner5127 I know that because I'm a realist and not a nut hugger. Making it to the playoffs and being a champ is two different thing let's be honest, if lebron james make it to the playoff he would be 39, no amount of steroids can make him play good as he once did. Ad is a great player but with his constant injuries he could be unreliable some time and even then jokic is the superior player. There a good team but to say they would become a nba champ with their competition is as delusional as ja wick saying he's not worry about the west.
u have great music taste sir. great vid
this is perfect lmfao i’m eating rn n was looking for something to watch
The lakers in my opinion most definitely winning this offseason but Phoenix despite getting memed for having no bench there pickups were lowkey and pretty good to be frank.
THEIR bro. THEIR pickups, not "there".
GREAT CONTENT 🔥🔥💯
Steph in a great position too. He's already considered best shooter all time, now won a ring post Kd. And is considered borderline top 10. His legacy is cemented and anything he does great from this point on would just edge him deeper into that top 10.
Actually Steph is already top 10 in most people's lists. Hes already in goat pg talks and a 5th ring would make him the goat pg in most people's lists
Well he's over Lebron because Steph owns Lebron 3-1 in the finals
steph is top 10 in my books
Big fan of your page I would like to know your top 5 NBA players going into next season
The only reason why this whole retirement talks came about was to simply get people to forget he got swept in the WCF.
Bro they literally started 2-10 I promise no one at the beginning of the season thought they would even make it that far
That doesnt even make sense because people still talking about it right now. They win the chip an free agency is almost over. Live moves on there's only so much they could say before the next series started, where they supposed to make a movie
@@gangstervision7266 Nah you are the same people who were probably hyping up the lakers when they were making that run. Ya'll thought you had denver figured out after game 1, then game 2, even when they went up 3-0 yall were hyping up that they were really going to make a come back. And now when they lose it's oh we never thought we would get that far. Btw lebron also choked horribly in the fourth quarter of that series.
@@jojofrancisco6648rent free
@@jojofrancisco6648Like fr. After Game 2 it was clip. They didn’t figure out shit
OKC has a ton going for them but I’m not as high on their future as everyone else seems to be. They have the talent, the assets and brilliant management. The one thing they don’t have that no one talks about, is ownership that’s proven they’re committed to winning. This is the same franchise that had prime Kd, Russ, Harden and Ibaka. They slowly withered away because they were unwilling to operate in the luxury tax. They traded James away for a roll of bubble wrap. After choosing Ibaka over James and paying him they ended up trading him for Oladipo. That move was probably the final straw that lost them Kd. I just wonder if and when these young guys start getting to the point where they demand those big extensions and they maybe trade for a star and they require a deal, will they be prepared to go all in?
neither KD, nor Russ nor Harden where in their prime during their OKC stunt. KD got into his prime with the warriors. Russ had his prime solo in OKC and harden had his prime in Houston. The reason KD left was because he wasn't able to win games with Russ and Harden. Obviously management could've gone way and beyond to keep them together longer, but especially Harden wouldn't have hit his prime in OKC.
@@eeempy99 that's legit incorrect. russ and kd were def in their primes in 2013 up until kd left the warriors. James Harden was obviously never in his prime, but russ and kd came hella close. They were on game away from making the finals and made 4 wcf together.
I think they’re ealzie their past mistakes and Clay Bennettt know she’s gonna have to pay all these guys. And right now Shai’s max contract looks like a steal. I think the Thunder are a dynasty for the next decade.
@@eeempy99 KD literally won an MVP in OKC, Russ won it the year KD left. The only one I might give you is Harden but the only thing really keeping him from being a full fledge superstar was his sixth man role.
@@FiendishDr_Wu russ only won the MVP cause he had no harden and kd. so he was the only player doing the 1 2 and 3 in most ball possession. yeah, maybe KD got his MVP in OKC but still, his peak was in GS and if you say otherwise you're a delusional piece of garbage that is probably too stupid to unalive himself.
I think overall for fact a year ago this time lebron James was in a bad rough situation but now he at least have a shot of potentially get his fifth ring and he and Anthony Davis stay relatively.🏀💯
Nope, Davis is lucky enough to stay healthy last season. I doubt he can have that consistency this season where most young guys are already in their prime years.
Lebron is THAT nigga
The GOAT with another one
OKC has been in this position before having 3 future all stars let’s see how they perform.
DURANT in best situation by far. Owner willing to spend and bring in whoever.
I think LA turn out the best, I'm also super hyped about my Rockets!
These cavs/thunder matchups are gonna get better and better every year
Mavs def saved face keeping kyrie or it'd got bad they should sign Dwight to help with rim protection or try to get one of them centers outta Detroit
The goat💯
I'm hearing that Crack Sandwich beat 💯🎧 JID
8:51 t-wolves with 2 big mans ☠️
Ong bro finally speaks on Luka and the mavs. Im happy with the moves, we gone be solid.
I hope bron gets one more ring before he calls it quits
if he gets 2 more he’s the undisputed goat, but only one more isn’t enough
@@chromepilot4814LeBrainwashed 🤓
@chromepilot4814 not his fault MJ retired twice. He's already the goat. Mj @ 38 was averaging 20ppg on terrible shooting. Lebron @ 38 is still a top player in the league

@@chromepilot4814he already the goat.😂
Always enjoy the 888 background music
I would like to make a shout to Pat Bev who said if the Lakers take me they will make it to the Western Conference Finals and they did make the finals. Well they traded him along the way but contract completed.
I think the Suns are one of the most overrated teams going into next season. You have 3 stars that are 3 variants of the same player and a center who isnt living up to his draft pick. Outside if that the roleplayers arent enough imho
They aren't overrated at all because everyone besides the media is saying the same thing. I mean, the Nets had the potential to be one of the best teams in 2021 and 2022 but Injuries and drama ruined it.
Jimmy in the best current situation cause he's dating Shakira rn
4:00 Lmao is that J.I.D's Crack Sandwich beat in the background? If so, W choice
The Thunder and Rockets are going to be dangerous soon
I appreciate the "Crack Sandwich" instrumental💯🔥💯🔥
Had to watch the moment I seen that notification pop up
I still don't understand why people think it was far fetched for LeBron to want to retire, hes the 2nd oldest player in the NBA, going into his 21st season, a BILLIONARE, injury prone, and accomplished everything there is to do in Basketball other than make the hall of fame.
Jordan retired coming off a 3 peat when he was young, why wouldn't LeBron retire coming off a sweep when he was old??
Don't tell me you actually believe that. Lebron literally alluded to his retirement to deflect criticism of being swept. Now instead of Denver getting the praise for making the finals, it's the lemedia talking about his possible retirement. And Bron literally stated that he wanted to play with bronny before he retires, so there was no way he was going to. He's the master of controlling the narrative, and his goons are too dumb to realize it.
@@jojofrancisco6648you said it perfectly
If you don't understand then you are a fool. There was literally no sign of lebron wanting to retire, then suddenly when he gets swept he wants to retire out of no where? Nobody with a brain believed that
We not dumb we just don’t care 😂 like really the media dgaf about the nuggets regardless, y’all hate too much and take shit way too seriously lol
@@jojofrancisco6648 exactly and to add, Lebron is in no way injury prone at least when it comes to major injuries. from the jump he's a genetic beast and he spends tons on keeping himself durable. I seriously think he could last till like 45 and still be productive.
“Stole gabe Vincent from Miami” LMAOOO
You deserve so many more subscribers bro! We appreciate you! 🙏🏼
I’m excited about my kings
Luka and the Mavs gonna be a real problem next year. Book it
I need Swish to talk to tha homies irl bc we watch the vids n they still don’t see what Sam Presti is doing 😂😂
i see dat two tens joint 👀
The lakers have a chance at contending these two years before Bron and AD’s deals are done. Still salty my wolves gave away Vando, D Lo and picks for Gobert and Conley 😭😭😭. But the lakers only winning if AD is the number one option on both ends
Pascal might just like where he at u gotta think about it he might have roots there changing teams is alot u gotta think outside of basketball on sum of these dudes decisions
Poole is in a sneaky good situation with Washington, he can ascend to being a star next season
I know its obvious but I feel like Jokić should’ve been on this list
It's probably a little too obvious to be worth talking about lol
The sweep was closer than you think I mean I guess
wake up swish dropped
Yo, why do you (and others) consider Dame a "mega superstar"? What has he accomplished? He's been a part of multiple 50-win teams and his closest run to the Finals was a sweep to the Durant-less Warriors in the WCF. He's over a decade into his career with no MVPs, no scoring titles, not a big assist or steal guy, never been a premiere defender. I know he's had some amazing games and has made some unbelievable shots but he's also been lackluster in big playoff moments. I mean, his 3-seed Blazers were swept by the Pelicans in 17-18. He averaged 19 points in that series. I know he's nice, but it often feels like he's graded on a curve. Is anybody else we consider a superstar so unaccomplished after this many years? Luka's 5 years in with 4 1st Team All-NBA selections and a better showing in his WCF appearance. Dame was 1st Team once five years ago. Kyrie was a major contributor on a championship team. Harden and Russ at least have MVPs and assists and scoring titles. CP was a premiere defender in his prime plus he's led the league in steals and assists multiple times. Tatum even has more 1st Team All-NBA selections and a Finals appearance. Embiid has an MVP and scoring titles. Jimmy can hang his hat on the Finals' runs. I'm not saying Dame has to have all of these things. But damn...none of it? after 11 seasons? Perhaps he's a mega superstar in the sense that Vince Carter was a mega superstar. Undeniably popular but not as accomplished as his contemporaries.
Dame Time nigga
Completely agree. Such a strange way to refer to Lillard
The Crack Sandwich instrumental is so fuckin nice
9:25 we not jus gon ignore that sweet ass pass fake that Luka made😮💨
🔥
He can get rings ( 5, 6, 10 ) by joining Golden State, Denver, Miami...maybe even Milwaukee
Lakers ceiling is the second round and their floor is a 12th seed. That roster won’t be able to mashed well unless lebron takes the backseat which, he will never do that because he wants all the credit and when they come up short, he will say that he’s thinking about retirement or there will be a phantom injury. Also no news on the foot surgery that he said he needed after getting swept by the Nuggets. Also the team that won the offseason was the suns and the team that lost the offseason was the lakers.
OKC has a really bright future ahead of them.
Sam Presti is such a G
3:40 I mess with Dame, but a mega superstar is a bit much, that's like KD...Steph...Kobe type shit.
Ya but he’s kinda close and he still averaged 32 ppl last season
The Lakers are following the time old path of everyone overrating them because they made some small moves. Lebron and AD are a year older and it's unlikely they both have another somewhat healthy season. They played a weak 2 seed that they matched up well against in Memphis, and the Warriors were also not that great. Also a favorable matchup for the Lakers. A sweep is a sweep, and the Lakers got swept, there is no way around it. The Nuggets pulled ahead when it matters and let the Lakers take all the moral victories they wanted. Good video otherwise
Lmfao, now it's a weak 2 seed even tho both warriors and grizzley were the favorite and small moves? Get back core guys and added pieces around just like 2020 is small moves??
@@jacobtrimble4329 grizzlies been overrated for sure, I think they better without Brooks but now I think they might have size issues with smart, ja and bane... As for warriors, it breaks my heart to say we were pure doodoo garbage last year, just thinking about it hurts😭
@@jacobtrimble4329 I will say lakers have a chance though, it's just that the players that are supposed to carry them might not be able to at this point in their careers, if they play team basketball though and allow Reaves to cook they might just be the 2014 spurs
@@7Bobby7 In what way the 2014 spurs? I can't think of how this team is comparable. Honestly at this point in his career Lebron can't be the closer, they need AD to take up that mantle if they want to win.
@@jasonvargas4798 a team that's greater than the sum of their parts, that's what the lakers need to become, that's what the spurs were
Everyone is clutching at the sweep trying to make it sound close but if that’s what we are going with then the lakers need to beat the t wolves first because they actually got a game.
I been waiting on ur vid Lol
In terms of “lets talk nba” i only put u second to jimmyxhighroller.
And if uk him u agree
The Lebron retirement talk was just to spin the media and narrative away from him being swept in the finals lol. The mans been doing this for 20 years, he knows what to say. Like you said, theres no logic behind him retiring rn.
I honestly did not love that Lebron made that situation about himself, but in his defense everyone seems to think the 2023 finals was super boring and nobody seems to care that much about the Nuggets other than Nuggets fans obviously.
mavs future were looking like its doomed just 2 months ago. just goes to show how a good offseason can turn around a franchise. even if this kyrie move doesnt work, they did the right process to start building thru the draft and stop getting big names by sacrificing all your draft capitals
What about the Indiana Pacers?
Im a lakers fan but man id be lying if i said im not gonna watch every OKC game this year
No mention of Jokic and returning basically an entire championship team intact?
i think the next few years are going to be easy championships for him. he is truly unstoppable.
Luka doncic and the Mavericks revenge season is about to come in effect this upcoming season just watch.🏀
Lakers won the off-season, and then the Rockets lost the off-season
Josh Christophers cheeks lost the off-season 🤣
What’s the music at 4:00
i bet siakam is a fan of the toronto night life
Me personally, im not too sure about KD and the Suns. They have a great offensive team on paper, but the last offensive team KD was on (Brooklyn) was not good defensively, and they didnt reach their goal of a championship.
they failed because of health. this core is younger than brooklyn’s. ideally should be healthier
Nuggets were 11th rating in the nba for defense and lakers were like top 3 but Denver still won. I’m not saying defense dosnt win you chips but a lot of other lucky factors come into play when a team wins a chip. If cp3, Ayton didn’t got hurt and booker didn’t tweak his ankle on game 5 it would had been a different outcome.
Uh why no Steph Curry? I think the Warriors trading Poole and retaining Draymond and with the players we signed I think we have great depth again and can potentially make a run at for the chip again next season
this guy gotta be a bron stan LMAOO
I think the Lakers are the most overhyped team coming into next year and they are being hyped for simply bring back most of the expiring contracts they traded for. Everyone is getting younger and the Nuggets still have 6 of 7 rotating players who straight up punked the very same Laker team.
lakers season last year was a miracle with little to no AD injuries. the universe is never letting that happen again. and they still got destroyed by the nuggets
Cp3 not in a great situation to finally get over the jump and win a chip ? Last time I checked the warriors had the best 5 man unit last year which they are all coming back in Steph klay wiggins dray looney and they just added cp3 and dario to they bench who have that chemistry pat down from their suns days along with young players in kuminga and moody who I expect big yr 3 leaps … don’t sleep on my warriors
Lakers Fr got hella pickups
Imma feel so sad for Russ when they send him to Philly 😔
Why would they? He makes 4 mill a year
Jimmy take aged like milk gahdamn
I’d love for the Thunder to have amazing Playoff success or win a championship with that team in the next 10 years
Don’t worry people will start to hate them(probably you too) once they start winning games just like the current suns. Makes no sense! 🤦🏻♂️
Nah man, people are already down playing the Lakers getting swept.
Right! Still the same team yet Suns, Memphis, Celtics and possibly if Heat get dame, all have major roster upgrades. Still saying lakers have a better change is beyond stupid if they still have the same core who got swept
I love Russ, I hope he bounces back!
I’m too early bruh I’ll come back later 😴
I hope to God Miami lands Dame
Calling Damian Lillard a "mega superstar" is a stretch.
People throw around the word superstar way too much. There are at most 10 superstars at a given point. It's a term exclusive to those who can single-handedly will their team to success.
Sleeping on the magic
The lakers and suns won the offseason and the sixers lost the offseason because even if the keep harden I don’t trust this team to go far and they won’t get similar value back.
Realistically wcf going to be nuggets and lakers again. Lakers have the two superstars and a great supporting role around them. Unlike the suns who lack play making and defense.
I may be really wrong, but I feel like Dallas is going to make a run this year
I really hope they do because after that insane statistical season Luka had I think he's going to get really frustrated if they don't make a strong post-season run.
7:19 i thougt he said asian cp
Damn Eastern Conference has no hope lmao. I think all the stars in trouble were in the east and all the stars looking good are in the west.
