Lol, they have Alexander-Walker who is a potential all star caliber talent riding the bench, and they were about to give 90M to Tim Hardaway...i can actually see that being true.
I don't really like Derozan for the Bulls, i can see why they traded for him, but moving another future 1st for a guy that's kinda redundant with LaVine i don't know, also nobody plays defense there aside for Lonzo, they need a strong 3&D at the 4 badly.
True i totally forgot that. So maybe Collins is waiting for Morey to dump Simmons and Tobias Harris...lol
Lakers are signing everyone Suns will still be good meanwhile Portland has signed *checks notes Norman Powell, Cody Zeller, Tony Snell, and Ben McLemore they’re still not even better than injured Denver, a team that got swept with ease by PHX…I doubt they could even beat the Mavs in a playoff series unless they’re about to pull a trade out their ass for a major upgrade, Dame, don’t even waste your time…get that list of destinations ready and go ahead and demand a trade
Oh my god this is amazing. Dwight, Melo, Russ, Nunn all on the Lakers. This offseason is just the gift that keeps giving. Lakers went from a big 2 to a big 0.5. 1 LeBron + 1 AD - 1 Russ - 0.5 Nunn Good thing they traded Kuz cause then they'd be a full 0.
Is Nunn that bad? I would consider Melo a -0.5 so maybe they should be at full 0. What about Ariza and Dwert? Are they + or -?
One of my best friends is a Heat fan and he was laughing his ass off when I showed him the tweet. The thing with Ariza and Dwight are, yes they're bad but just being bad makes you a 0 at worse. To be a negative you have to actively hurt your team. When Dwight and Ariza suck they just play defense and maybe miss 5 shots put together. Off game Nunn is still gonna put up 15 shots and go 2/15 with 5 turnovers and dribbling down half the shot clock every few possessions. If you're bad and you know you're bad it's cool. If you're bad and think you're the best player on the court you're trash. Now Russ is that x10.
Bill Oram/The Athletic: The Lakers' moves have slammed the door shut on any possible return for Dennis Schröder. I had wondered if the Lakers letting Alex Caruso walk might have signaled that they would work something out to bring Schröder back on a short-term deal in a sixth man role. Obviously, that would have required a certain level of sacrifice from Schröder, who would be taking a demotion and a short-term deal to try to rehab his value. But nothing available is going to get him close to that four-year, $84 million contract extension he turned down midseason. So maybe a return from Schröder was far-fetched once the Lakers landed Russell Westbrook, but I could have at least talked myself into it. Now that decision on the extension looks like an all-time blunder for Schröder, whose options are dwindling as only the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder still have cap space. Otherwise, Schröder could maybe hope to latch on for the midlevel exception somewhere. That’s a long way from the $100 million deal he was looking for. Schröder wanted to roll the dice in free agency, and this is what that risk can look like
