    The Robinson White and Washington idea I posted above, is a better team IMO.

    Your idea is awesome, but unlikely. I like your idea better, but would use some different ideas as back up plans.

    Gianiss to Portland is a good trade for both teams.

    We’d have to get creative to get him.

    hear me out, this may sound crazy, but if we can't get Giannis, it may make sense to trade Austin for KD. Reasoning:

    - Fit with Luka is much better
    - Still playing at a high level with 2 Years left on his contract so not locking ourselves to a huge long contract
    - Houston are desperate to get rid of him.
    - Houston need a point guard
    - Austin is much younger and fits their timeline much better
    - KD is a snake but probably worth it from a basketball standpoint

    this would be valid especially If Lebron leaves. I don't think KD's ego could handle playing with Lebron.

    You dont need to preface the post with "this may sound crazy" just becajse the sassy attitudes here about AR. KD is my least favorite superstar of all time but it does make sense. KD is a better fit offensively, and even defensively at his ripe older age. He's more catch and shoot. It absolutely makes sense. Better fit with Luka, and it fits Lebrons timeline, if that makes sense. A downside of this is it send Rui to the each, but thats okay. Lakers definitely would have to get another poa defender to go along with Smart though, and a rim protecting big.

    I turned the game off after that b******* call on Shai. Marcus has his feet set and they call a foul for Shai. It’s b*******. We get no f***ing calls. So f*** the nba if they’re just going to fix it for OKC yeah I said it fixed. This isn’t basketball I watched with the 2002 Lakers. If they called basketball like they call today in the Lakers 2000 2002 championships the Lakers wouldn’t have won anything.

    Before we talk about trades to make this team better and this free agent signings. Let’s make sure we get our superstar point guard back Luka Doncic.

    I see what your saying but it’s tough when Ajay Mitchell is getting calls like he’s James Harden in his MVP years with the Rockets.

    God I hate this OKC team - Denver kicked teh Lakers a**** but you had to tip their hat to them. This OKC team OTOH - get away with all the hand checking in the world and they are floptastic

    And f*** Caruso - total flop on Lebron setting a screen and got a tech thinking that Shai was somehow wronged on that flagrant one

    OKC is the most entitled team. It’s not a good look for the NBA small market America. See how many jerseys that sales you. Shais a boring superstar. All the cliches. More cliches then Russell Wilson.

    Silver you dumb f***. You put in a second apron cripling teams. Now OKC can just win since they have the 3 players and have drafted everybody. And then they’ll get the number 1 pick from the Clippers and Draft AJ Debanste. What a f***ing disaster.

    they are so f***ing deep. They got bench guys getting superstar calls. Holmgren throwing people around and you sneeze on him and it’s a foul.

    that’s how you do LeBron? That’s how you do your legends? That’s how you do your Lakers???

    Luka please don’t come back.

    let this league endure OKC and Detroit in the finals.

    f*** Steve Ballmer for bending over from Presti and taking it.

    Here’s Shai here’s 6 first round draft picks. Cason Wallace Jalen Williams and Daryn Peterson.

    You dumb f***!!!!!! For Kawhi and Paul George. You really thought you were overtaking the Lakers???

    you should’ve kept Shai maybe you’d have a championship now and you can be the mighty ducks. You’re a f***ing idiot go bob for apples in your toilets.

    You gave OKC 5 championships.

    Boy I’m pissed. I don’t know how you fix this. Just keep drafting great talent in the draft.

    and maybe that 2031 pick can become something. Go get Gianiss and maybe Luka can become Elgin Baylor.

    but hey at least Jeanie gave $800 to Spencer Pratt. Hope that works out. Thanks Jeanie.

    I’m glad we huddled around the Refs. Make them think about it.

    Give Austin the Contract already. At least he’s fighting. I love his fight. He cares. And go at the refs and the NBA for this b*******.
