2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

i'd rather give up knecht than rui

 

I'm a bit worried about the Rui contract situation. For all the talk about how much we love him, and consider him to be an important piece. It's been crickets on any extension talks. It's just weird, every one points out that Gabe and Kleber are on expiring deals, but so is Rui.

 

So Hayes is back as backup center. Fine with me.

 

When the other team checks 3x to see if the offer is real and you're so dumb you don't realize this and take any of those chances to pull/ revise the offer. Wow

 

Is this a Championship roster? Nope

Maybe we are considering a trade, sending out multiple players for 1 guy.

No way do I see Gabe, Shake or Kleber here. We still need upgrades at a POA defender, wing and 2nd string center.

 

I’d definitely be interested in a discounted Beal

 

I would.

that’s a all in championship type of move. He would be playing the Finney role. And you know you have an elite corner three point shooter.

 

That was a coaches decision. The Coach Williams wanted him gone. Let me ask you a question have they been back since they got rid of him?????

 

With the roster full, I would like to cut Milton, sign Melton (similar names, just noticed lol) and then do some type of trade, ideally with Gabe and one of Vando/DK/Rui that brings a defensive wing and opens the roster spot we like to have

 

Great like I said Jaxson Hayes teammates really like him. He’s well liked in the locker room.

great signing perfect backup.

See I’m not a guy who will give you Cap. Ayton thing has been his motor. This is the perfect guy to be on his a** in practice. Cause he’s gonna always bring that energy. He just doesn’t have the skill. I’m all for Jaxson Hayes being our Dwight Howard. We need that energy off the bench. This signing made more sense than the Horford signing. At this point of Horfords career he’s more below the rim. Set skilled shooter. Hes more in the Ayton Role. Bringing this guy off the bench. Tons and Tons of energy.

that second unit is going to have tons of energy. Work work hard. Bronnie James Gabe Vincent Vando Aou Laruvia And Hayes.

 

Quick Kobe story. This guy knew the game.

so there were all these kids playing Basketball. I’m all about the local kids. Demar was from Compton.

And Kobe said you see that kid over there? He’s the next one. That’s next one. Next great one.

Damn he was right. This is before USC he said Demar Derozan. What is kind of Funny Demar modeled his game after Kobe.

look at some of that old tape from Compton high Demar playing was like Kobe very athletic. Super skilled.

 

Melton's injury history is extensive tho.

 

lillard's done. he'll be 36 when he's able to play again and that'll be coming off a major achilles injury. he won't be able to keep up anymore

i'm fine with bringing hayes back but hopefully its as a 3rd option and there's another big on the way
