Could Brandon Boston Jr. Be NY’s Hidden Gem?

Knicks fans, what do you think about the buzz around Brandon Boston Jr.? The 6'7" ex-Pelican has been flying under the radar, but his numbers as a starter last season (13.4 pts, 4.8 rebs, 4.6 asts) show real upside. With his catch-and-shoot game (41%!) and size, he could be a sneaky depth move, especially if we need insurance behind McBride or Clarkson. Is he the next Landry Shamet-type spark off the bench? #Sports #Basketball #KnicksNation

Jordan Walsh’s big shot at Celtics rotation

Jordan Walsh is finally getting his chance to prove himself with the Celtics, and this season could define his future in Boston. After two quiet years, the 21-year-old wing impressed at Summer League, showing off improved shooting and defense. With the roster thinner than before, Walsh is in line for real minutes—if he can knock down threes and hold his own physically. The team’s coaches say the opportunity is his for the taking. Will Walsh step up and become a key part of the rotation, or will this be his last shot in green? What do you think he needs to focus on most? #Sports #Basketball #Celtics

Knicks youth movement could shake up the rotation

The Knicks are finally opening the door for their young talent to get real minutes, and that could mean big things for players like Pacome Dadiet. With Mike Brown stepping in, the days of rookies riding the bench might be over. Dadiet, who barely saw the court last season, has been turning heads in the Summer League and looks much more confident. It’s not just him—Tyler Kolek, Ariel Hukporti, Kevin McCullar Jr., and MarJon Beauchamp are all in the mix, too. Could this new approach bring fresh energy to the Knicks’ lineup? What do you think about giving the young guys a real shot this year? #Sports #Basketball #Knicks

Dubs Pass on Vooch, Eye Lonzo Instead?

Looks like the Warriors’ front office isn’t chasing Vooch after all! According to NBA insider Jack Fischer, the Dubs were more interested in landing Lonzo Ball from the Bulls in a potential Kuminga trade, but with Lonzo heading to Cleveland, that ship has sailed. Kuminga’s camp even tried to cook up a sign-and-trade involving Josh Giddey, but it never materialized. So, for now, it seems like Vucevic-to-Golden State is off the table. What do you think—did the Warriors dodge a bullet or miss out? #Sports #Basketball #DubNation

Lakers Snag Warriors’ Summer League Star

Wow, the LakeShow just pulled a fast one on Dub Nation! Chris Manon, who was the Warriors’ breakout guard in Vegas, is now heading to LA on a two-way deal. Manon led the Warriors in points, rebounds, and blocks during Summer League, even dropping a game-high +21 against the Cavs. With the Lakers also picking up Marcus Smart, could this shake up the Pacific rivalry even more? Warriors fans, are we going to regret letting Manon slip away? #Sports #Basketball #Lakers

Celtics’ roster shakeup could get even wilder

Boston fans, the Celtics’ offseason just got even more dramatic. After trading away two starters to dodge luxury tax penalties, the team is still $20 million over the dreaded second apron. Now, there’s talk that Sam Hauser—one of the most reliable shooters off the bench—might be next on the trade block, even though he just signed a $45 million extension. With Jayson Tatum out most of next season, losing Hauser could seriously impact the team’s depth and shooting. How do you feel about the possibility of more big changes? Who would you keep or let go? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #Basketball #Celtics

Detroit Pistons shake up roster with Colby Jones

Detroit’s basketball scene just got a fresh twist—Colby Jones, a former second-round pick, is joining the Pistons on a two-way deal. After bouncing between teams and finally showing real promise with the Wizards last season (averaging 9 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds), Jones now has a shot to prove himself in Detroit. For a team hungry for new energy and depth, this move could be a game-changer. What do you think—can Jones carve out a bigger role here, or is this just another roster shuffle? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Basketball #DetroitPistons

Atlanta Dream’s Allisha Gray: Family, HBCUs & Hoops

Allisha Gray isn’t just lighting up the court for the Atlanta Dream—her story is a celebration of family, HBCU pride, and homegrown talent. Her sister Ashley is making waves at Alabama State, and their dad is a West Virginia State alum, so basketball and HBCU roots run deep in the Gray family. Allisha’s All-Star moment was even sweeter with her family cheering her on in Indianapolis. She says playing in Atlanta means more time with loved ones (and those unbeatable home-cooked meals). How much does family support shape an athlete’s journey? Let’s talk about it! #Sports #Basketball #AtlantaDream

UW star staying with the Blazers!

Portland just locked in some serious defensive firepower for next season! Matisse Thybulle, our homegrown UW Husky star, just exercised his $11.5 million option to stay with the Trail Blazers through 2025-26. Even though injuries limited him to just 15 games this past season, he still put up career-high numbers when he was on the court - 7.5 points and 2.2 steals per game. The Eastside Catholic product has been a fan favorite since joining Portland, and with a full season to get healthy, he could be the defensive anchor this team needs. Having a local hero who can actually play at this level feels pretty special. Are you excited to see what he can do with a healthy season ahead? #Sports #Basketball #TrailBlazers
