Garland is likely to miss time to start the 2025-26 season, sources said. He was first diagnosed with the injury on March 23 in Utah and managed it to end the regular season before reaggravating and playing through the toe in the playoffs.

Cleveland Cavaliers star Darius Garland underwent surgery to repair great toe injury and will be sidelined approximately 4 to 5 months.

As a spurs fan I don’t see them going far with him

they would spend a lot less if they went for KD

spurs already got Wemby, at that point you’ll lose out on more if u trade for KD. Giannis and Wemby will start a new dynasty in which they can both be great. I don’t see Giannis or Wemby leaving so if you want longevity i’d just shoot for Giannis

#

Curry isn’t even considered one of the best of all time for some reason

#

What makes SGA a different contender

#

Need to find highlights of SGA getting cooked though, idk why I have the urge to find it

stuck solar
#

He's on a good pace, but let's not act like he's 22 or anything. He's a player who's just coming into his prime, on a team with a lot of up and coming young players. To compare his leadership to MJ's is absurd, but he's a skilled scorer, a good defender, and a decent playmaker. At the rate he's going, he has a chance to be seen as a Top 10 PG, but top 5 is a hard list to break into. He'll need multiple years of dominance in the regular season, paired with a number of championships. Not saying that the Thunder don't have the potential to get there, but part of the reason that the Thunder are so good right now is because they have not only a number of draft picks (and they have a number of draft picks in recent drafts, they've done a great job of drafting), but also due to the fact that many of their players are on rookie scale contracts. When SGA and JDub and Chet all have extensions that kick in, and they can't afford this bevy of role players at their disposal, they'll have to move some guys and lose some of the players that made their team as good as it was (see the Celtics having to trade Jrue Holiday and potentially KP, Hauser, etc this offseason due to JT and JB's massive contract extensions)

edgy locust
#

He’s Top 5 most points in their first 2 finals games ever

#

Only player in history to average 30+ in last 8 home games all being playoff games

#

He’s Kobe without the Ego

#

And he is a PG he is the primary ball handler

stuck solar
#

Sure but that's such a cherry picked, niche stat. I think a number of people would argue that Chris Paul and Steve Nash are some of the top 10 PGs of all time, and neither even made a finals appearance. The other thing is, while Shai does play the PG position, he doesn't play like a PG. He plays like a scoring combo guard, and while his playmaking is still solid, to say that he'll be "one of the greatest PGs of all time" is an absurd statement

That Hasn’t happened very often

He’s a generational scorer who can facilitate when needed hell he can rebound when needed that gets overlooked because of the double center lineup

#

Generational efficiency

stuck solar
# edgy locust He’s about to be a winner too though

Tbf, before this season, everyone questioned whether he could be that level of winner in the playoffs. Before this, his supporting cast wasn't good enough until last year, but last year, they didn't do too well despite being such a high seed (similar to the Cavs this year). Now obviously he's proving those doubters wrong this year, but part of that was the additions of Hartenstein and Caruso. If he does win the championship this year, he'll be in some ridiculous legacy talks sure, but I personally wanna see him do it for more than just one legendary season. TMac and Harden both had some of the most legendary seasons all time ('02-'03 for Tmac and '18-'19 for Harden), but neither had the playoff success to back it up, and while both are great, no one is saying that they're in the conversations for best SGs of all time (Harden played PG at the time but let's be real, he's a scoring combo guard like SGA), because there are guys like MJ, Kobe, Wade, etc who were consistently good for many seasons, and happened to win a few rings

edgy locust
stuck solar
#

Sure yeah, that's undeniably really good. I just wanna see him do it for a few more years and turn it into another ring or two before we start talking about top 5 all time in terms of PGs, especially considering the top end of the PG talent is Magic and Curry

edgy locust
#

He’s still the primary ball handler though so in my opinion he counts as a PG

#

I know but after them it’s kinda a fall off I don’t credit Stockton very high because a lot of his assists were straight up just feeding Malone

#

Isiah Thomas I’ve always been mixed on

spark hull
#

Prime harden was something else

edgy locust
#

I feel like Russ is up there for his Trip Dubs

edgy locust
stuck solar
#

My top 10 PGs list is
Magic Johnson
Steph Curry (reverse those if you want)
Oscar Robertson
Isiah Thomas
Chris Paul
Jerry West
Steve Nash
John Stockton (switch Nash and Stockton if you prefer)
Jason Kidd
Bob Cousy

Russ is probably 11 honestly, it's just hard to include him due to his inefficient scoring at times and lack of playoff success.

spark hull
edgy locust
#

He’s inefficiency was real but the team he had around him during the MVP time didn’t help

#

His efficiency got better when PG got there and when he had another costar

#

He didn’t feel like he had to do it all

stuck solar
# edgy locust Oscar up there when Russ did what he did better that’s like my only complaint

The only reason I have Oscar up there is because he was able to turn it into a championship. Now you could argue, rightfully so, that he had a (admittedly second season) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to help him, but there's also the argument against Russ that, when playing with KD, or when playing with Lebron, he wasn't able to defer and/or change his playstyle enough to succeed, while that didn't stop Oscar from doing just as well for the Bucks as he had for the Royals, albeit with a reduced offensive load.

#

I do agree that the team sucked after Harden and KD were gone, until they brought in PG, but that was only for one season and they had other Carmelo Anthony shaped problems

edgy locust
#

This is why I credit Shai too he is the dominant force of the Thunder

#

The team is great I know that as a fan but none of them are on his level

stuck solar
edgy locust
#

Well could

stuck solar
#

I think that yeah, SGA is clearly the leader of the Thunder, none of the other guys are or likely will be superstar, MVP level players, but they've done such a good job of surrounding him with talent that helps with that, and they're a very deep team. We've seen with most of the past few champions that being deep can really help win championships. Buzzer beaters from Payton Pritchard for the Celtics last year, the hustle and effort plays from Bruce Brown and Jeff Green for the Nuggets, etc. And both the Thunder and the Pacers are proving that, in the modern NBA, it's becoming less and less about "which team has the better player" and more about "which team doesn't have the weakest link". When Brunson is out there for the Knicks, and he gets targeted because he's a smaller guy who's a mediocre defender at best, that hurts the Knicks. Or when KAT gets switched onto the perimeter, or plays drop coverage. Those are things that teams can and will target. In terms of rotational players, neither the Thunder nor the Pacers really have a lot of bad players, players who you're comfortable with exploiting, or leaving open (save for maybe Hartenstein)

stuck solar
#

yeah what about it

#

tl;dr even though SGA is the leader of the Thunder, and is very good, their success truly stems from great team defense and a lot of great "stay ready" role players who at a moment's notice can come in and be a very impactful player on either end of the floor

#

oh trust me, I'm rooting for the Pacers

#

but Hali needs to step it up if they wanna win this series

#

The Thunder have done a great job of throwing a ton of different bodies and looks at him, making it hard for him to do what he wants to do, not just in terms of creating his own shot, but in terms of having him create shots via teammates such as driving and kicking, etc

this is what I hate about almost all of the foul baiters. Like it's one thing if Dillon Brooks foul baits, but when I see Shai or Embiid, et al. flopping around and exaggerating the hell out of the contact to get foul calls, it's just disappointing

# spark hull Embiid winning over Jokic was robbery

I think Embiid and Jokic were both very good that season, and while I thought Jokic deserved it more, I can't hate too much on Embiid winning it, even if I hate him as a player, because he was very dominant in the regular season that year. I think the main reason Embiid even won though (apart from all the stupid racial stuff that Perkins was yapping about) was because if Jokic won 3 MVPs in a row, it'd put him in some ridiculous legacy talks that they didn't wanna put him in yet because he hadn't won a ring yet and people were questioning that, despite how insanely good Jokic is on offense, if he'd be able to win a ring despite not being a decent rim protector on the other end.

The unfortunate domino effect of that all meant that the next year, when I feel like Luka should've won the MVP (if we're talking about the best player/individual season, if we're saying best player on best team, it should've been Tatum), but they gave Jokic an MVP (he did have a very good season, don't get me wrong, but I don't feel like it was as strong as Luka's on an individual level, and he didn't have the team success as much as Tatum) because he didn't win it the year before. LEADING to this year, where the same problem happens (I feel like Jokic should've won MVP but Shai won it because something something voter fatigue for Jokic. I do think Shai had a really good season, but I feel like on an individual level, Jokic was better, Shai just looked better because he had a great team surrounding him).

He has a good long windows as well, due to the fact that his game isn't based off athleticism, short of a Lary Bird-esque injury, he should be able to play for quite a while coasting on his IQ and skills

He gotta improve on defense

hollow shard
#

He’s shooting so efficiently that if you don’t play tight defense he’s dropping a solid 30 on 60% shooting

#

But tight defense also leads to fouls

That’s the only reason they made it this far

Because they don’t have anyone extraordinary on their team

#

Yeah I mean I think Tyrese is a fantastic player, but he's somewhat inconsistent. And Siakam is very good, like all-star level 2 way player. But he's not quite a super star at the level of most team's best player's

#

But they do have a ton of really good roleplayers

#

Kinda like the Celtics from last year, except with Tyrese and Siakam being a little worse than Tatum and Brown, but their bench being arguably as good if not better than the Celtics bench last year

hollow shard
#

None of these guys on the pacers could even come close to carrying a team by themselves

#

It’s just a well organized and put together roster

#

They have the perfect fit of defense playmaking and shooting

stuck solar

100%. They've got a ton of guys who hustle and play their role well. McConnell having 5 steals last night is a perfect example of that, as well as Turner having 5 blocks
