this is where i disagree with svtzr. he's right that the tax is big and designed to stop this stuff, but being the lakers is sort of about being...
i think so. the defensive slippage is very real, though. he's still a plus defender due to his size and incredible hoop iq, but it's nowhere...
i think the only consensus from the summer reporting is that, at minimum, indy wanted both picks, unprotected. the question is whether they were...
lebron's prime is over. it was really over last year, but people were too excited about his big scoring nights to realize it. we got a ring out...
he's moved one for schroder (good move, imo) and one for russ (we shouldn't have done that), right? we don't have the space to chase a third...
[IMG] i could see scenarios in which it made sense...
shoulder fracture, so decent chance? though i thought i saw it as week-to-week? anyway, he's injury prone but kawhi is a foundational piece.
i agree. but the vibes are 95/5 negative on ice cream around here.
i mean, we clearly need more than lebron and AD to win. but nobody's offering us what we need for russ. so here we are.

i'm really not trying to be a jerk, but i don't see why people are expecting a return from russ. as i said in the other thread, letting him walk...
yeah, if lebron is this guy, we don't need to be making deals sacrificing any future.
wall missed the entire 19-20 season and played 32 games the season prior. he was clearly the worse contract and thus required the pick. we...
yeah, again, vogel over here counting his money and chuckling. "oh, why don't you run plays in the 4th" lol?
yeah, but what if what we get is to sign two solid rotation players in FA next summer whilst holding onto our future picks and our favorite...
i'm confused. what's the deal offered that involved assets coming in for russ? i've seen assets going out with russ. i've made no secret that...
just set up for "teams preparing to offer austin reaves poison pill 4/80 million". followed by the lakers signing him at near the mle, followed...
they've been the worst-run franchise in the nba since their brief heyday. the knicks are always looming in that competition, but the kings keep...
