Why These NBA Stars Are in the Best Current Situations 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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 🏆.🏀

The only reason why this whole retirement talks came about was to simply get people to forget he got swept in the WCF.

I hope bron gets one more ring before he calls it quits

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

u have great music taste sir. great vid

Big fan of your page I would like to know your top 5 NBA players going into next season

this is perfect lmfao i’m eating rn n was looking for something to watch

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.

GREAT CONTENT 🔥🔥💯

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.

You deserve so many more subscribers bro! We appreciate you! 🙏🏼

4:00 Lmao is that J.I.D's Crack Sandwich beat in the background? If so, W choice

These cavs/thunder matchups are gonna get better and better every year

DURANT in best situation by far. Owner willing to spend and bring in whoever.

I'm hearing that Crack Sandwich beat 💯🎧 JID

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 with another one

Ong bro finally speaks on Luka and the mavs. Im happy with the moves, we gone be solid.

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.🏀💯

I appreciate the "Crack Sandwich" instrumental💯🔥💯🔥

8:51 t-wolves with 2 big mans ☠️

Jimmy in the best current situation cause he's dating Shakira rn

OKC has been in this position before having 3 future all stars let’s see how they perform.

I think LA turn out the best, I'm also super hyped about my Rockets!

Always enjoy the 888 background music

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?

Had to watch the moment I seen that notification pop up

The goat💯

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

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.

“Stole gabe Vincent from Miami” LMAOOO

The Thunder and Rockets are going to be dangerous soon

i see dat two tens joint 👀

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

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 😂😂

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

I’m excited about my kings

Poole is in a sneaky good situation with Washington, he can ascend to being a star next season

9:25 we not jus gon ignore that sweet ass pass fake that Luka made😮‍💨

wake up swish dropped

The sweep was closer than you think I mean I guess

OKC has a really bright future ahead of them.

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

Lakers Fr got hella pickups

The Crack Sandwich instrumental is so fuckin nice

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.

He can get rings ( 5, 6, 10 ) by joining Golden State, Denver, Miami...maybe even Milwaukee

Sam Presti is such a G

🔥

I know its obvious but I feel like Jokić should’ve been on this list

What about the Indiana Pacers?

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

Luka doncic and the Mavericks revenge season is about to come in effect this upcoming season just watch.🏀

i bet siakam is a fan of the toronto night life

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’s the music at 4:00

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??

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.

Im a lakers fan but man id be lying if i said im not gonna watch every OKC game this year

3:40 I mess with Dame, but a mega superstar is a bit much, that's like KD...Steph...Kobe type shit.

Did lakers keep that defense guy vanderbelt

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.

Jimmy take aged like milk gahdamn

Y’all don’t understand how badly I’m hoping Atlanta draft bronny or Brice we just need a James

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.

I’d love for the Thunder to have amazing Playoff success or win a championship with that team in the next 10 years

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.

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

As a OKC I'm super excited for this season ! I think we can make a deep playoff run at minimum #thunderup

Lakers won the off-season, and then the Rockets lost the off-season

ngl the heat would need a 3 team trade: heat receive: Lillard nurkic blazers receive: 4 1st round picks 3 from Miami 2024 (if the turn their protected 2025 pick for OKC into an unprotected 2026 pick) 2028 and 2030, and 1 pick from 3rd team. three 1st round swaps from Miami 2025, 2027, 2029 Caleb Martin Jozic jaquez jr highsmith lowry matching salary player(s) from 3rd team 3rd team: Tyler Herro. If the heat would do that, they would destroy their entire roster just to have oladipo, Buttler, Lillard, Adebayo and Robinson.

115k 7d 360k subs

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.

first 💯

7:19 i thougt he said asian cp

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.

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

Imma feel so sad for Russ when they send him to Philly 😔

jokic gonna have to sweep the lakers again isnt he... get ready because hes only going to get better

No mention of Jokic and returning basically an entire championship team intact?

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.

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.

Mavericks will be the surprise; count on it

Lee traveled his ass off

Lebron has had some of the best teammates. Dwade, Melo, Chris Bosh, Drose , Rondo, Ray Allen, Deron Williams . And many many more

Sleeping on the magic

pacers never get any love man

I may be really wrong, but I feel like Dallas is going to make a run this year

First☝️

I’m too early bruh I’ll come back later 😴
