That bulls pick could be too 40

One pick is the worse if wash/lal in 2028 and the other 2029

That’s probably why they got 3 picks. Two are way down the road

What do you think the Jazz are gonna do with Sexton?

What do you think the Jazz are gonna do with Sexton?

Hang onto him for now. They have too many other pieces to trade

Including clarkson, who plays a similar role

@thunderc 80 point first quarter in Griz/Kings lol

Dude…Davis?

That’s like 10………THOUSAND steps to far.

But, it was a good deal for the Lakers.

Davis is finished - I don't think he will ever play that consistently again -

 

[True Lakers Fan]

The way Rob did it was pretty smart too, imo.

He moved Nunn, one of the 2nd round picks is from the Bulls and another is a pick swap. If I remember correctly, 2 of them are a few years from now.

2029

Kings went 12/13 on 3s in the first quarter. Made their first 10. Crazy

If you added this to the Rui trade instead of Nunn, you probably would have gotten it done for two picks…lol

But then they'd still have Nunn and DJ probably needs the roughage.

Lakers can't go wrong - He may end up being more productive than Davis who seems to be unable to stay on the court more than a few games

They are whipping the Grizzlies ASS.

Sac had a real nice squad. Great PG. Great C. Shooters everywhere. Every-where lol

No Ja but still. That team can score. Triple double for Sabonis, etc.

Strong bench too.

Very impressed.

It's fun when they are good I hope it sticks

No Ja or Adams.

But, you play who ever is in front of you,

Lyles has been very good for them.

Sabonis is a STUD.

They are solidly two deep at every position.

Solid, not spectacular except at the 4.

Cant go wrong with Barnes/Murray.

Huerter /Fox pretty good too.

Sabonis/Holmes

Fox/Mitchell

Add in Lyles and Davis and they are a pretty fun bunch.

They were fun when they were that Webber led team. But he wasn't really the alpha it was a group effort. Fun team, Vlade, Peja, Bibby, Pollard

Poetl is a much better version of D12 in the bubble (stylistically).

Poetl is good.

And I think because of Bryant’s shooting ability, they might even be able to be on the court at the same time for short stretches in certain matchups?

Maybe not.

Still though, adding Poetl and Richardson on the wing would be two quality regulars who fit. McDermott another guy with length who can shoot.

It isn’t a Hield and Turner type splash, but the Spurs deal would make the Lakers relevant in the West assuming AD and LeBron are healthy for the playoffs.

I mean…

Not impossible, I guess if AD gets hurt again.

But AD was playing at an MVP level before his latest injury. There is no replacing that. Rui Hachimura is a solid player, but he is a role player.

If he is more productive that AD?

Stick a fork in the Lakers. Season over.

I have always treated them as an after thought figuring they would fade.

Still think they are a first round matchup a veteran team like GS or either LA team would want.

But it is time to start taking them seriously.
