After surpassing expectations and making the NBA Finals in 2026, the core of the team have returned for training camp looking closer than they did before having a break.

Are they messing with each other or do I detect a hint of beef? An obscure and interesting joust to say the least.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Let the interpretations begin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Welcome to the Thread.
