@shopson67

Why would the Rox do this?

Reaves is obviously more mature.

But, he isn’t better than Porter Jr, who they have at 20 mil next year.

This is the real threat to the Lakers.

They can have max space.

But, what fool would give it to Reaves?

Rockets to target Austin Reaves, Dillon Brooks, Brook Lopez and Cameron Johnson

Outside of Harden, other high-ranking targets for Houston include Brook Lopez, Dillon Brooks and restricted free agents Cam Johnson and Austin Reaves, league sources said.

Lmao

Well, @DJ @Shanemansj13 @shopson67

Guess this is the play he’s angling for.

Lakers have had internal discussions about a potential Trae Young trade

It’s unclear if LeBron’s comments are merely a power move to force the Lakers’ hand into building a better roster — something he has been hesitant to do in recent seasons. For what it’s worth, Kyri…

@Stakesarehigh

Houston gonna offer Reaves the bag.

Told Yall.


It’s unclear if LeBron’s comments are merely a power move to force the Lakers’ hand into building a better roster — something he has been hesitant to do in recent seasons. For what it’s worth, Kyrie Irving and Trae Young, two All-Star-level point guards, were both sitting courtside in Los Angeles for the second time this postseason. Young, like James and Davis, is a Klutch client. The Lakers have had internal discussions about what a hypothetical trade offer for Young could look like this summer,according to multiple league sources not authorized to speak publicly.

Saw that earlier this week on NBA Live.

Ok lets try to make it this hypothetical offer as realistic as possible....

Sign-and-trade Reaves ($18-20M/yr) and Rui ($10-12M/yr), '23 1st, '26 1st & '28 1st and swaps.

Not very realistic. Even if you throw in Vandy. You give up all your depth and I don't think that is a very good package for ATL and LA is highly dependent on 3 guys, one of them will be 39 in December

You can't trade 2 sign and trade players....sign and traded player has to be solo.

 

[trojanfight]

I know.

I see the content everywhere.

But, guess what?

The bad calls went both ways.

You spamming us with this wont change the outcome and likely won’t change anyone’s opinion.

It’s a message board and you have Just as much right as the rest of us to post what you want.

I was you just a few short weeks ago.

But, at the request of others, I toned it down.

I can’t tell you what to do.

But, if you are going to do this don’t tell it slant.

Calls, and non calls, went your way to.

You lost to a better team.


Through three Western Conference Finals games, only one has included a Last Two Minute Report with admitted missed calls from the NBA. Game 1 had a clean Last Two Minute Report, and Game 3 was not close enough to produce one, but the NBA did admit several missed calls in Game 2 of this series.

According to the NBA, there were four missed calls in the final two minutes of Game 2, three of which disadvantaged the Nuggets, and one that disadvantaged the Lakers.

Guess we gotta agree to disagree. While their might have been some minimal amount of Denver missed calls it was no where near equal. The flagrant in Denver was bs. Every goaltend call went their way. They got home calls at home and in LA. Had it been Denver on the other end of things they wouldn’t have had anything to complain about. And sorry a 3 second call isn’t the same where you foul a guy and get a 5 point swing because of it. And that happened over and over.

Plus, they don’t need all those wings.

They are already trying to rid themselves of Collins.

Also, they extended Bogdon at the end of the year.

Don’t need Reaves.

Even less options for LA. Not possible

Yep literally no way. Jokic to LA this offseason bc they were laughing together

TF, say all of that is true….

You lost because Davis has the heart of a cowardly lion or the motor of a vespa with a dead battery.

Even if those things went your way, would that have prevented D’Lo from being a complete no show?

You lost.

Shaking your fist at the clouds not gonna change that.

Lmfao

They need to target a guy on a team that wants to reset the franchise.

Maybe Beal or Lavine if those teams start over.

But, you gotta think guys like Trae, Dame will have suitors that can easily outbid the Lakers.

It’s not like Trae can say…I’m only willing to go to the Lakers.

Little thin haired fucker is under contract until 2026-27.

He has no leverage, the Lakers have fuck all in tradable players that others will want, except Davis.

 

[DJ]

The Rockets have a bunch of guards I thought .....

Why go after Reaves'?

maybe so but even still it was a 2 point game. The 1 goaltend called correctly is a tie game.

What happened the other day?

Roid rage, Dementia, just feeling gangsta?

Lol your not knowing what day it is passing out before 10 pm nightly is rich saying this lol
