    I like all your posts but I can’t agree with this one. Brother Reaves is special Gianiss is 31 Reaves is 26. We gotta stop with the we gotta win one now. I don’t want to do another 2020 I wanna 4 championships I want to Win 3 let’s see what this Luka Ayton Reaves core will be when they are 29 and OKC has to make a trade to get off that money. You don’t think cheap Clay Bennett is going to keep paying those guys do you?????

    that’s why I bought up Melo Brotha. Remember in 2011 he didn’t want to wait.

    Hear what I’m saying. Don’t get misled on a bad season by Herb Jones. Everybody sucks on New Orleans they are 3-18

    I remember when Trevor Ariza was saying get me out of New York telling me he wants to come back to Cali. All I saw was the size and length I saw at Westchester high.


    Herb Jones I identified as most important player Lakers needed to acquire. I was right about Ayton. Look how he’s playing. I said we had to acquire him.

    Herb is exactly what we need. Long Length 3-D defense. f***ing defense.

    Here are facts. Luka can’t guard for s*** Reaves can’t guard for s*** Lebron can’t guard for s***.

    All we’re gonna do is get Ayton a lot of fouls.

    you got Shai Edwards Booker Durant we have to get this wing solved or we’ll be beat quicker then you can say Miami.

    Herbert Jones is young athletic wing and he can catch and shoot the ball When Luka dishes. Herb Jones does not need the ball.

    You add Herb Jones with Luka get the f*** outa here. Like I said 3 championships. Now we got our defender.

    New Orleans I’ll give you the 2028 first round unprotected pick and Knect. One thing we are missing since Max Christie left is perimeter defense. We need this. Get him before Golden State gets him.

    i'd do this with kleber as the salary filler, but my guess is NO gets similar offers and chooses those over ours.

    Soft launch of a trade demand and non contact leg injury the same day



    Team's calling it a calf strain.

    I wouldn't include Thiero in the trade though. The kid has high upside imo. I don't have any data to really support this, but just a gut feeling about the kid.

    If I was the Bucks I would go with the ATL trade.
    You get NO pick, Young who you can trade again, a bunch of ATL.picks which could be valuable if Gianni's blows out his Achilles (oh sorry calf injury), and someone like rishacherre(sp?)

    Is 2031 1st (unprotected), 2028 swap, 2030 swap, 2032 swap, and Rui enough for Herb? Rui is a healthy power forward, just saying.

    Anyone who suggests we should get Paul should probably get a long suspension or be permanent-banned.

    that's way too much for Herb - he's hasn't been good in 2 years. I'd give the unprotected fist and keep Rui, throw in knecht, and one swap

    Yeah. This is my thought. We may be able to buy low here

    Why??? We’ve dealt with them before. We have a good trade relationship with them. Say what you say about Davis but we gave them a boatload of draft picks Ingram Ball and Hart and those players were all good players. It was fair.

    not Luka at all. Their gonna get a nice package a 1st round draft pick young players.

    better then Golden states package their pick 1st rounder and a young player who?? Kaminga they ain’t getting Pudzunzki.


    Jones value is pretty low now but I’d pounce on him.

    No no you’re missing my point. You have to keep Thiero with Jones. I need to have two perimeter dogs to sick on scorers. I want to build my baby Knicks OG and Bridges over here.

    So it’s imperative to have Thiero and Jones.

    I wanna know why there are so many calf strains in this league. Is this because how guys are training? I want to know how they’re training.

    The only way Chris Paul would make any sense here if he had scouting decoy advice on OKC Shai tendencies. He did help mentor them in 2020 in the bubble. Stickly a Jared Dudley role here.
