巧合的是，艾頓是2018年的選秀狀元，唐契奇則是該年的第三順位，沒想到在2025年陰錯陽差地在湖人隊集結，該屆選秀梯隊至今的生涯數據，唐契奇和艾頓分別在得分及籃板球名列第一，而且這兩人都非常擅長擋拆配合，艾頓生涯初期已經證明了他身邊如果有像保羅(Chris Paul)這種頂級控球，足以成為進攻端的一枚活棋。
另一個引起廣泛討論的，就是詹姆士即將迎來生涯第9個狀元隊友，人數高居史上所有球員之冠，不過在這9人中，和詹姆士同隊時正值生涯巔峰的其實只有厄文(Kyrie Irving)、戴維斯(Anthony Davis)及艾頓，其他像是歐尼爾(Shaquille O'Neal)、羅斯(Derrick Rose)、霍華德(Dwight Howard)等人，都是在明顯退化階段才成為詹姆士隊友。

即便如此，這個環節還是成為不認同詹姆士成為GOAT的主要攻擊目標之一，畢竟對比喬丹(Michael Jordan)生涯僅擁有過布朗(Kwame Brown)這一個後來完全養成失敗的狀元隊友，詹姆士生涯無疑得到壓倒性的狀元加持。喬丹在公牛隊六連霸時期，甚至只有3個隊友是在前五順位被選進，其中一個是1987年第5順位的皮本(Scottie Pippen)。
無論如何，湖人隊終於為唐契奇找來一個優質的擋拆長人，而且他們和瑞佛斯(Austin Reaves)剛好都是26、27歲，如果賽季進展一切順利，有望成為湖人長期倚賴的核心組合。

Chicago Bulls, coach Billy Donovan agree to contract extension, per report
Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has agreed to a contract extension with the franchise, ESPN reported Sunday, July 27. Donovan, who has been the Bulls' coach since 2020-21, is 195-205 in his five seasons with Chicago and is entering his 11th season as NBA coach, spending his first five seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Bulls were 39-43 last season and finished in ninth place in the Eastern Conference. They lost to the Miami Heat in the play-in game. Chicago has been to the playoffs once under Donovan – a first-round loss to Milwaukee after going 46-36 in 2021-22. Donovan won two NCAA men's basketball national titles at Florida in 2006 and 2007 and played in a Final Four in 2014. He took the Oklahoma City job in 2015 and has been in the NBA since. Why did Billy Donovan get a contract extension? The Bulls like stability, and Donovan provides that with his coaching and relationships with players, front office and ownership. Donovan enjoys coaching in the NBA and living in Chicago. The two sides have been working on extension for months, and at the trade deadline in February, Donovan told reporters, "I want to be part of building something." The New York Knicks requested permission to speak with Donovan about their previously open head coaching position but were denied. Which direction are the Bulls headed? As the Eastern Conference improves with teams such as the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic moving toward deep playoff runs alongside Cleveland, New York, Indiana, Milwaukee and Boston, the Bulls seem stuck in neutral. They were 39-43 in 2023-24 and 40-42 in 2022-23. They have tried to make playoff runs with DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Nik Vucevic, Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball. Injuries, especially Ball missing two seasons, derailed Chicago's plans, and only Vucevic remains on the roster. Chicago has young talent it is trying to develop, including Matas Buzelis, the No. 11 pick in the 2024 draft, and Noa Essengue, the No. 12 pick in the 2025 draft. They are also working to bring back restricted free agent Josh Giddey on a long-term deal.

Current 2025-26 Philadelphia 76ers depth chart after offseason moves
The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to move on from a miserable 2024-25 season in which they finished 24-58 in a year where contending for a title was the expectation. Instead, injuries decimated the roster and affected the team's star trio the most. Joel Embiid was limited to only 19 games. Paul George played 41. Tyrese Maxey played "only" 52. It wasn't just the stars either as Jared McCain was limited to 23 games in his rookie season and other important pieces missed time as well. It was an overall just tough year for the Sixers. As the attention now turns to 2025-26, the Sixers made moves around the margins in an effort to improve the supporting cast. Assuming they re-sign restricted free agent Quentin Grimes--which is the expectation--here is how the depth chart looks for Philadelphia at the moment: Point guard Starter: Tyrese Maxey Depth: Kyle Lowry, Hunter Sallis (two-way deal) Maxey is coming off a season where his shooting percentages (43.7% overall and 33.7% from deep) are down from his career norms. Likely due to the fact that defenses loaded up on him to slow down Philadelphia's offensive attack. Assuming the Sixers will have a clean bill of health in 2025-26, Maxey should get back to his All-Star level for Philadelphia. As far as the depth is concerned, Lowry is back after he played only 35 games in the 2024-25 season. One could assume that this season, his 20th in a Hall of Fame career, could be the final one for him and he could take on more of a mentor role. The rookie Sallis is likely to spend time in the G League playing for the Delaware Blue Coats. McCain can play some minutes here as well. Shooting guard Starter: Jared McCain Depth: VJ Edgecombe, Eric Gordon, Sallis McCain was on his way to being in the Rookie of the Year race as he averaged 15.3 points, 2.6 assists, and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 38.3% from deep before having to undergo surgery in December to repair a laterally torn meniscus in his left knee. As he prepares for his second season, one can assume he will be the starter due to his shooting ability. Edgecombe, the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, is somebody who could eventually take over the starting role, has to improve as a 3-point shooter. It was a tough go at it in the summer league, but he showed off his elite NBA-level athleticism and was able to produce at a high level on the offensive end. Gordon is back to fire up his usual assortment of 3-pointers. Small forward Starter: Quentin Grimes (assuming he returns) Depth: Kelly Oubre Jr., Justin Edwards Grimes, who remains unsigned, played well for the Sixers after the trade acquisition from the Dallas Mavericks. He averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists while shooting 46.9% overall and 37.3% from deep in 28 games. He is currently a restricted free agent and is widely believed to return to Philadelphia. His shooting ability will be important for the Sixers on the offensive end. Oubre is set to return and give the Sixers a jack of all trades. He can score in isolation, can move off the ball, and make an impact on the defensive end as well as on the glass. He is going to be a key piece, and also could be a tradeable asset. Edwards is entering his second season and will give Philadelphia a 3-and-D option for the bench unit. Power forward Starter: Paul George Depth: Trendon Watford, Jabari Walker (two-way deal) All eyes will be on George entering the 2025-26 season. Coming off a disappointing first season in Philadelphia in which his offensive numbers were down across the board, the 9-time All-Star was battling injuries while adjusting to a new system and situation. He then had offseason surgery on his left knee so it will be interesting to see how he looks when the new season begins. Watford and Walker are two players who are expected to give Philadelphia some good production off the bench. Watford is somebody who can give the Sixers a ton of versatility as somebody who can make plays with his passing and an overall versatile player from the big man spot. Walker, a 3-year big man, is on a steal of a two-way deal in Philadelphia. He should be on a standard deal very soon. Center Starter: Joel Embiid Depth: Andre Drummond, Adem Bona, Johni Broome, Dominick Barlow (two-way deal) Everything begins and ends with Embiid. The health and status of the big fella is going to decide how far Philadelphia goes and that was obvious when he played only 19 games in 2024-25 and the Sixers struggled. He averaged 23.8 points in those 19 games, but shot only 44.4% from the floor, 29.9% from deep, and averaged only 7.8 free throw attempts. Those are not Embiid-like numbers. He has to be 100% healthy for Philadelphia to have a chance at contention. As for the depth, Drummond was limited to only 40 games due to a bothersome left toe injury and his numbers were down a bit. A healthy Drummond can make a difference for Philadelphia. However, the Sixers should probably do their best to give time to Bona, Broome, and Barlow as Philadelphia begins looking ahead to the future.
