Pretty sure Heyward ends up in Boston. It makes the most sense.

Oh, DJ must be a Republican then.

Absolutely. He's a solid center for one season, after which his cap space is more valuable. Could potentially be traded at the deadline for an asset as well for someone else looking to dump some salary, but only if it works with the Lakers plans.

That's what I was thinking. I think there is a moratorium though that prevents the Lakers from trading him for at least two months or something like that though, but we will be good or should be by Feb

No, he is more main stream and in the middle. He is actually one of the best ones in that shitty whore house

Oh that's cool, that's exactly how I am, I lean a little to the right.

But the Republicans over there are mostly vile and say openly racist things, so I just decided to pretend to be a gay Muslim that likes BBC.

So Kings turned down 2 for 5/10? Probably a good call, the only way you make that trade is if you're convinced Josh Jackson or Lonzo is gonna be a superstar. Better off getting one of Tatum/Isaac/Jackson/Fox/Ball at 5 and having the 10th pick separate to either trade or pick the BPA.

My thoughts exactly. No way you make that trade unless you're getting a superstar.

Shit, you are right....

Here’s why the Lakers gave away D’Angelo Russell to the Nets for almost nothing

A little more than a week after the 2017 Finals came to a close, the NBA has lost its collective mind.

Trade rumors are flying hot and heavy in the wake of the Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics flipping the third and first overall picks, and the Los Angeles Lakers reportedly followed suit on Tuesday by trading Timofey Mozgov and D'Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets for Brook Lopez and the 27th overall pick in the 2017 Draft.

Let's be very clear — this is not a good trade for the Lakers. They tanked Russell's trade value by leaking reports about his work ethic, traded him for practically nothing and went from embracing the hard work of a true rebuild to trying to circumvent the process through free agency.

5/10 to move up to #1 and get Fultz I would definitely consider because I think he's the best in the draft. Getting Fox at 5 is fine, and maybe Jackson or Ball fall to 5th anyway. Bring on draft day.

Those people are not real republicans - the are far too extreme for normal republicans and a disgrace to the human race

Yep, for 1/2 a game.

Ps. That shits a wrap now that Kawhi cut off his braids.
