Fan site, not reputable or so I'm told.

As reputable as most of the rumors posted lol.

Michael Cooper. Thanks for the reminder. Fucking Showtime.

Maybe THT can earn a "WalMart Coop" nickname. lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'd like to see him brought along similar to Michael Cooper with the Showtime Lakers. He was also athletic with a little offense. Earned his playing time being a defensive stopper and added offense over the years.

THT could probably be developed the same way. I doubt he'd get to Cooper's level, but he can be pretty good as a role playerdoing that.

I think he's 1 of the players Ham can really influence. Ham only played in the League as long as he did because of his hard work, hustle and defense.

If we keep THT. Because, I think he could get dealt.

I think the same thing.

No kidding, lol. That trade would have to be a done deal to consider bringing in Bev. This would be assuming that Utah has interest in THT, the only way the Lakers can even start talks. So....unlikely.

THT is not good.

They alreary have 2 versions of him that can actually score , Clarkson and Beasley.

If you guys don't get Kyrie, or some kinda upgrade, the Pelinka era should come to a end.

Your front office leaks like a sieve.

It's hard to manage expectations when every deal they are seeking is leaked to the media.

This is what negotiating in public gets you when you think you have leverage and you absolutely do not.

He should have given up the picks instead of trying to be cute.

Nobody thought Brooklyn would actually choose violence, by considering the nuclear option of just bringing him back.

It's not over.

Could just be a tactic to get the Lakers to go all in.

But, the divide in talent between Westbrook and Irving is so huge it's retarded to haggle like you have another viable option.

THT and a future 2nd for Bev? But, we'd have to move RW for sure.

Bev would have RW crying daily. Probably beat his ass a time or 2 also.

That Western Conference dude said the same thing I posted earlier about him.

These teams need to hire me and start paying me if they're going to be quoting me.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He’s unplayable in the playoffs outside of late game offense/defense switches with time outs. I’d be good if he was a 33% 3 point shooter that took 5-6 a game. The defense doesn’t cover him. Teams take their best help defender and put them on Thybulle so that guy can roam and play havoc helping on the ball or at the rim.

He made 35.7% his rookie season. Maybe, he can recapture that with some more work shooting 500-600 treys a day.

Dude on silverscreen was on SI's Fan Nation. We used to argue topics in throwdowns all the time.

LOL.

He has potential on offense also, but he needs to work on his 3-point shooting.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yep.

You said it.

Still doesn't mean it is true but it seems likely. When I say untouchable I think there are always exceptions

His focus has been even more on defense the last two years (marked improvement in steals and blocks), so that exertion could be affecting that shooting touch? Don't watch enough Sixers to be more specific...

Me neither.

Not like he shoots a lot of them either, barely 2 a game.

The fact that you'd need to add anything when trading a 21 year old for a guy 13 years his Senior tells me all I need to know about THT.

Especially for a 34 year old that's chronically broken.

We aren't talking Barnes for Durant.

This is Pat Bev.

How desperate... Lmfao

But, he'd still be a better fit than Westbrook.

 

[DJ Fieri]

My newb/rookie status is over. Finally figured out when I propose a fantasy trade and I'm not all in on it just include one of these mofos.....

Dude, did you see the Barrett vs Hero chatter?

Most like Barrett by a large margin.

Trading away the only thing they have gotten right in 15 years or more seems like a very Knicks thing to do.

How could Conley help the Cavs out? He's not taking Garland's spot. And didn't the Cavs just get Rubio?
