    September 2025

    Ben Simmons, now a free agent, is considering retirement as doubts over his NBA career deepen. His longtime agent Bernie Lee ended their partnership, while executives and scouts suggest there’s little appetite among teams to take a chance on him anymore.

    The Lakers and Celtics have built similar records through very different profiles, with Boston dominating on overall point differential and Los Angeles excelling in clutch situations.

    September 2025

    Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is working to add a post-up and midrange game, inspired by Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, aiming for more consistency in big games. Despite back-to-back Western Conference Finals runs, he remains inconsistent in playoff scoring. Edwards has studied Jordan and Bryant tapes, seeking to integrate fadeaways and mid-post scoring into his arsenal. His 27.6 points per game dipped in the postseason, with poor midrange accuracy. Developing new dimensions could elevate him from All-Star to genuine franchise superstar.
