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

I thought Gabe was OK myself, I prefer to hold on to him, over Kleber, if it came down to it. He's a good locker room guy too, they say he works with the young bucks, positive ,encouraging ,uncle type.

 

Obvious move is official. Next comes the less obvious move, what to do about Goodwin or a trade. Hope it turns out well.

 

Goodwin is likely gone. I'd like to keep him, but that seems to be the clearest path to getting this signing done under the rules that the CBA allow with respect to the bi-annual.

 

^Vash from LG

 

Considering our multiple “pressing” needs heading into the draft …. and the arguably great moves so far with 2 trades UP in the 2nd round to get Adou Thiero the best athlete in this draft and a 2 way capable defensive dynamo who should have been a first rounder were it not for the hyper extended knee, NOT overpaying for coming off rehab and declining due simply to age DFS …. and replacing HIM with Deandre Ayton and Jake LaRavia and now landing Marcus Smart as well like Ayton off buyouts with so far only Shake Milton lost ….. WHICH will ignore all of the above situations and bring the MOST wrath down on Rob’s head …. LG for sure and here as well to a lesser degree? In a vacuum? Losing Jordan Goodwin to waivers too, or having to sweeten a trade pot of expirings with Dalton Knecht?

The next trade could be even be “good” one for our needs but them damn “margins” again and failure to hang on to young talent with Jordan or Dalton? Can’t ship his a** out soon enough!?

AmIrite?

 

MOAR time to evaluate the progress as well of everyone still on the roster … on the BUBBLE.

 

Great news

Gives Rob more time to work on deals

 

This is a really good post. Sums up the off-season. FWIW, Rob has worked the damn margins beautifully. We still have the flexbility, too, with those expirings. For example. if Smart goes down or something happens with the roster, we can address those things or weaknesses by the trade deadline. It allows us to see how this team his from the Oct to Feb and make a determination on what we need moving forward for the PO push.

I want to be greedy, though. I want one of these draft picks to hit. We missed on JHS & Maxwell Lewis. We need Theiro to work and I'd love if we landed a gem on a two-way. We have to keep winning on these damn margins. LOL.

You know the only things that concerns me @LTLakerFan is it might be Wemby's league in 2 years.

 

It's not Pelinka it's Luka
He didn't want to get anyone for LeBron

 

Damn, is it that bad?

We don't want Bront LeHurt emotionally
