6 in 75 Mailbag! (Western Conference 12.15.25)

6 in 75 Mailbag! (Western Conference 12.15.25)

Nate and Danny tackle Western Conference mailbag questions from the Dallas Mavericks through the LA Lakers, digging into star-trade calculus, emerging young players, and which contenders really scare OKC and Denver.

Dallas Mavericks — 0:55

Is Max Christie’s 65% true shooting for real, and if/when his shooting regresses, can he still be a starter on a championship team?

How should Dallas value and time a potential Anthony Davis trade—what kind of package is “enough,” how much does the extension/player option risk matter, and is it better to move him now or wait?

Given their place in the standings and draft-lottery odds, how low can Dallas realistically fall in the West, and how much does that affect the urgency to trade Davis?

Would a Trae Young–for–Anthony Davis swap make sense for either the Mavericks or the Hawks in terms of fit and direction?

How does the Derek Lively–Cason Wallace–Dāvis Bertāns draft-night trade look 2.5 years later for both Dallas and OKC, and which side would you rather be on now?

Denver Nuggets — 17:57

How has Peyton Watson grown offensively, and is he finally ready to be a reliable playoff-rotation player?

Why is Zeke Nnaji still getting minutes over DaRon Holmes—are the Nuggets trying to pump up Nnaji’s trade value, or do they genuinely see him as the better fit?

What are Denver’s best and worst potential playoff matchups in the first two rounds (with OKC assumed as the 1-seed and off the board)?

Golden State Warriors — 28:40

As in so many recent seasons, the Warriors hit mid-December around .500—what’s the single biggest factor that can actually turn their season around?

Is there any realistic “retool” path where Golden State trades some of the youth to become a legitimate threat again in games where Steph drops 40+ (e.g., moving Pods/Kuminga plus picks for a real starter)?

Is the fan criticism of Brandin Podziemski this year justified—how good is he actually and what are his limitations?

How much faith should we have in the Warriors’ front office to build another contender post-Steph based on their track record?

What’s the most likely resolution with Jonathan Kuminga—do the Warriors still see him as a core piece, or is he basically just flotsam matching salary at this point?

With Steph still playing at an elite level but the team stuck in the middle, are the Warriors really in an intractable “can’t blow it up / can’t contend” quandary, or is the path forward actually straightforward?

Houston Rockets — 44:17

If Giannis becomes available, should the Rockets not go after him this season because of OKC’s dominance and instead wait to add another star later, or is this exactly the kind of opportunity you must seize?

How much better would Giannis actually make Houston in the next 2–3 years compared with just riding out growth with Alperen Şengün and the current core—and is a Şengün-for-Giannis framework ever worth it?

Is a core trio of Amen Thompson–Şengün–Giannis really viable given their combined limitations, and if so, who becomes the odd man out long-term?

Is Reed Sheppard being misused when he’s just parked in the corner while others run the offense—are the Rockets wasting his on-ball skills by treating him like a pure 3-and-D guard?

Including possible trades, who is the bigger playoff threat to the Thunder this year: the Spurs or the Rockets?

LA Clippers — 53:52

Do the Clippers’ struggles this season help them at all when the league decides Kawhi Leonard’s punishment, or is that totally irrelevant to discipline?

How much of the Clippers’ disaster season is real underlying weakness versus bad clutch luck and opponent shooting luck (teams bombing threes against them)?

What is the most likely course of action for the Clippers at the trade deadline—could they or should they do any kind of “firesale” given they owe so many picks?

In hindsight, did the Clippers have the worst offseason—essentially gifting Miami an All-Star-caliber Norman Powell while signing a washed Brook Lopez—and how badly did that set them back?

What are the realistic odds the Clippers can claw back to the 10th seed and at least mildly salvage their season?

LA Lakers — 1:04:21

The Lakers’ record is great but their net rating is mediocre—what are their biggest weaknesses or needs, and do they actually play well enough consistently to reach the West finals or NBA Finals?

In the MVP discussion, did you underrate Luka Doncic compared with Giannis—if you swapped their team contexts (Luka on the Bucks, Giannis on the Lakers/Mavs), how would that affect their cases, especially when you account for defense?

With LeBron driving less and spending more time on the perimeter, would the Lakers’ offense be better if they used him more in the post/elbow or as a handoff hub instead of having him just initiate from outside?

Kawhi Leonard Scandal; LAL Season Outlook with Jovan Buha

It’s even more of an LA-focused podcast than we thought, as Pablo Torre drops the bombshell that Kawhi Leonard was allegedly the beneficiary of salary cap circumvention via a no-show job with a Clippers sponsor.Then, Jovan Buha of Buha’s Block joins to discuss what went right and ultimately wrong for the Lakers last season, whether skinny Luka can regain his form along with Marcus Smart and Deandre Ayton, whether JJ Redick’s coaching is a strength, and if LeBron will be a distraction.  We lay out the Lakers’ strengths and weaknesses and give our predictions for their season.
