    Denver is going to finals
    I just think they were sick of Malone b******* and now suddenly they can get any possible signing

    I just bet Denver 16-1 next year. They can absolutely win the title.

    For the min?!

    Denver ain't playing around today

    With it drying up, we have to start hitting on these minimum signings and you know... get some centers... and wings... and guards.

    You know Kl99 in a lot of your posts there's insight and you make sense, though wading through ALL of them and your ever changing thoughts by the 5 minute periods is no mean task. Then you post something like above and just fall into the sky is falling mentality around here because all questions of what the FO (player evaluation scouts and Rob) are working on can't be answered on day one or two. Get a grip all of you. If you ALL can just panic unreasonably in knee jerk fashion after us already making the moves we have .... (I am going to assume that through Duffy, Luka and Rob this whole buyout was planned, it didn't just drop 2 days ago into sorry a** Rob's lucky lap) (because if Ayton was the malcontent he seemed to be in Portland [who wouldn't be in that dumpster fire]) .... what would be his incentive to give up ANY of his contract this year?) ..... I've decided to be b**chy back at all of you in snarky fashion using the "Bob Todd" mock right back at you. You guys panic and do this crap every single time before hardly any details are out yet what ALL they're working on. Rob is 3 for 3 with great moves so far. Thiero, Ayton, LaRavia.

    I think he knows one good year with Jokic will lead to a bigger deal down the road, potentially.

    wtf: Nance is absolutely a terrific add for the minimum. Plays good defense, can play the 5 in a pinch, improved jumpshot. Just a kind of guy you want for playoff calibre opponnents

    No offense taken but I’m done waiting. I cannot remember the last time free agency wasn’t a string of embarrassments for the Lakers. At least that’s how it feels. And here we are, in the midst of Hot Center Summer, with every decent team sitting on two quality big men, and we’re reduced to hoping we get that bum Ayton who we will live to regret signing. Day one of free agency, yeah, and we’re already hearing about 2027…

    Surplus center? Does that exist in today's landscape? We see legit teams hoarding centers like they're infinity stones. They have. 2-3 good ones now. Hope we're reading those tea leaves correctly. No clue who it could be where the center is the throw in to a deal that would get rerouted here.

    Eubanks and Nance or no longer options!

    i actually think there's going to be a center bubble of sorts after all this. it's going to burst on teams employing a bunch of them, imo, and on teams that pay a ton for mediocre ones (e.g., poeltl).
