2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

You could trade Ingram, Ball a pick and filler for Beal.

Sign Vuvecic outright.

The Magic drafted Bamba.

So, Vuvecic's future in Orlando is up in the air.

Because there are other quality free agent Centers available, * Boogie, Jordan, Mcgee, Kanter*, I don't think it will take the max to land Vuvecic.

All of those guys have warts.

But, all would work depending on their price tags.

Agree.

Short of getting AD or KD, I think Vucevic and Beal might be the best way to go.

Lineup of Lebron, Beal, Vucevic, Kuzma and maybe Rondo...I could go with that. Defense might be suspect, but they'd be able to score. The Warriors breaking up after this season or next seems inevitable. So that lineup could make them contenders, imo. Especially if they land a couple of defensive guys.

I wonder if they could trade Ingram, Hart and filler and keep Lonzo for his defense and passing (with the hope that he at least develops an average shot)?

Honestly, I'd rather have Hart.

Especially if we are talking about the Wiz.

Fuck they gonna do with Wall and Lonzo?

Lebron drug Tristan, Hood to the finals.

What could he do with a legit shooter in Beal and a low post scoring threat?

Wall loves to score, Lonzo loves to pass. Sounds like a good match. lol

I love Hart and certainly wouldn't hate keeping him. I just think Lonzo has more overall skills, even though he can't shoot. I think Hart is as good as he's going to be. I don't think Lozo is (at least I hope not).

Sooooooo....

Ingram channeling his inner Mamba today, while Lonzo channeling that game Kobe refused to shoot?

Wtf?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Dude.....

Andrew Wiggins out there looking like a Max player.

That's all you need to see to know shit is going sidewayz.

Wtf?

I'm at work. I'll have to watch the game when I get home.

Doesn't Lonzo always refuse to shoot? lol

 

[tducey]

Beal would be a good pickup for the Lakers. Him and Lebron would be good together.

1 shot in the 1st half and they were down 20.

At least try...lol

You can't let Wiggings go for over 20 in the 1st half.

Dude has 28 points halfway thru the 3rd.

But, the biggest draw dropping moment, for me, was Luke playing McGee and Chandler together!

Don't even bother watching...lol

The Kings are much further along than anyone gave them credit for.

You have some serious talent on your roster.

Being a lottery team for over a decade it was only a matter of time before they hit on some picks and those talented players made the team better. We still don't know how good some of their guys can become, and that'll help determine how far this team will be able to go. If the Kings ever want to win a title they'll have to make some kind of big trade/signing that takes them to the next level, whether it's getting a superstar player to come on board or a very solid player who fits their biggest need perfectly. It's just nice to see them trending upwards as a franchise instead of being stuck at rock bottom.

It's going to be interesting to see what you guys do with Trill.

What number would you be comfortable with?

 

[bksballer89]

Another one of those days for Lonzo lol.

Currently 0 points on only 4 attempted shots lol. There's less than 8 minutes in the 4th. No Lebron, Kuz, or Rondo and dude is attempting 4 shots

@Mecca

 

[bksballer89]

Ingram isn't doing much to help his stock either. Another shitty shooting night for him. Going to be his 3rd straight game under 40%.

Have no idea how the Pelicans can make a trade with the Lakers for AD. Ball and Ingram simply are not good enough

Beasley and Lance were the only guys trying.

I honestly don't know what was worse....

Lonzo refusing to shoot or Ingram refusing to STOP shooting...lol

AD tis a dream...lol

I think he'd be best fit as the backup center going forward with Bagley taking his spot, so $10-12 million per year for 4 years is the range I'd wanna go with. Very talented player and fits the teams play style, but he can't block shots or rebound at a consistent rate worthy of starting.

@CitySushi @WiggyRuss @msgkings322 @Mecca

this is pretty much exactly what i said th day of the deal-- the Cavs were just messing with the Warriors.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I think they trade Ingram and Ball at the deadline or next offseason.

I think they trade Ingram and Ball at the deadline or next offseason.

if you trade Lonzo anytime soon you will be taking a BIGTIME hair cut on what his value once was.

zero points today in a game where LeBron and Rondo did not play.

YIKES.

Tatum goes 1 pick later, Fox 3 picks later. Just YIKES.

Neither Wiggins nor Ingram are likely to ever live up to their draft potential- but Id take Wiggins every time over Ingram.

Thank GOODNESS for the Lakers that they nailed those late picks with Kuzma and Hart or it would be a disaster.
