    If Philadelphia is shutting it down, can we has a Maxey? Is Maxey's defense good enough for Ime?

    Silver is rather annoying with the transparent favoritism of the Lakers market. He obviously has to have LA relevant for his ratings, but I think he's missing the big picture of why ratings are dipping to begin with.

    Seems like a stupid rumor.

    It would have to be a 5 for 1 trade, where the only player of any use the 76ers got was Austin Reaves. Plus the Lakers basically have no picks to trade.


    You've possibly been caught out by a bad pump fake.
    I mean, like worse than Alpy's 3 point pump fake.

    Yeah - let's see shall we?

    Absurd as the Doncic trade was, at least the Lakers sent out a 9 time all star, a young 3nD talent, a 1st rd pick and a 2nd rnd pick.
    Now they ain't got squat to send, and can barely match the salary...

    Maybe they can send out a certain 21x all-star plus all the picks they can for Embiid?
    Not saying it makes enough sense to happen, but that would be hilarious.

    They don't have picks to send apart from a single 2nd rounder.

    But you're right - MoRRey would still take that deal for his chance to finally snare LeBron. In fact he'd probably send some firsts in return.

    Any GM that trades for Embid needs to be fired on the spot.
