[Mecca of the “B” Team]

tlance was the one posting "how will they get food?".

He's also been the one talking about players leaving the venue, etc. without knowing what the NBA's plans were for that.

Yeah, I said all that too...

Before he did.

Like @dtgold88 stated, my stance softened once I was shown my worries were unfounded.

I'm done with it now.

I was wrong about the lack of restrictions, which is what started this whole mess.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

lol

Of course they've shown interest in Bradley Beal.

I've shown interest in owning a huge compound down at the beach with homes on it for everyone in my family.

Neither of us have the necessary assets at this time.

Lmfao

This was subject changing bait...lol

Success!

 

[trojanfan12]

Is that really a decision?

Lakers don’t have the assets.

I think writers are getting bored. I saw one yesterday with the Lakers getting Zach Lavine.

They made a couple of solid points as to why the Lakers would want him and why the Bulls might be willing to let him go.

But, unless I missed something, they didn't say what assets they were supposedly going to use to make that happen.

Is Allen Crabbe injured?

I didn't know he was a free agent.

 

[dtgold88]

What do you see happening with the Cavs in free agency?

Not much chance of Drummond opting out.

So, sign and trade Thompson?

I also think the cap situation might bold well for a Love trade.

If it's true that many teams will unexpectedly be in the tax, only way they can get better is by trade.

Offers should be improved.

Other than Drummond exercising his option I don't see them doing much of substance. If they can get him at their price (2-3 years or less) could see them keeping TT. Guess a sign/trade is possible.

Don't have to ask me twice to get off of any of the stuff going on right now. I've had my fill.

Except for the murder hornets...those are pretty cool.

The grandson that was born Sunday was actually due June 1st. My daughter and I were joking about it saying maybe she should stop watching the news. With all that's going on, we wouldn't want to come out either. lol

 

[dtgold88]

I have always been quite sure they had a plan for all of these angles. Just because they have a plan doesn’t mean it is foolproof.

There will be probably near a thousand people, maybe more involved in these plans requiring interactions with each other. If they can all be kept in the bubble and tested at adequate intervals, then great.

The more people involved, the greater possibility for error.

correct....and that's the case if they do it at a remote campus as well.

If your fear is they leave, the less there is to do the better chance they'd want to get out.

Would have to be a salary dump, unless the bulls just Loved Kuzna.

But......

Lavine is a Showtime kinda player.

I would hate it, obviously.

But, depending on what the do with Otto Porter, Levine might be the odd man out if they keep Satoransky.

Coby White looks like he has a chance to be special and I don't see them sharing a backcourt.

Dude, Murder Hornets are TERRIFYING.

Congrats on the newest Trojansfan.

It's awesome to hear some happy news for a change.

I was able to avoid the News for 5 while days.

It was a nice break...lol

LeBron's jealous of Coby's hair.

Murder hornets are ruse created by those tricky damn democrats. Ooppss, wrong thread.

Yeah, their reasoning for the Lakers interest was spot on. They basically said he would be a perfect fit with Lebron and AD.

But yeah, unless the Bulls love Kuzma and see Lavine as an "extra part" or something...I don't see it happening unless they want to try to get him as an FA after next season.

They'd have to really love Kuzma too. Because I don't think it would be too difficult to beat any offer the Lakers made.

TT would be an expensive backup.

Clippers are in a even tougher spot with Trezl's price tag.

Thanks. Can't wait to get out there and meet him.

Not worried about murder hornets. I keep praying mantises around my yard.

Obviously, a guy like Beal would be first choice.

But, I could see it with Lavine.

His style fits and he wouldn't just go guns a blazing with the Lakers.

The Bulls have Markannen.

So, Kuz would be a back up until Porter comes of the book or gets traded.

He has another season at a whopping 28 mil.

But, this is all make believe brought on by boredom anyway...

So, maybe.

Guys eligible to sign starting the 22nd.

Current NBA free agents by position

One of the Heat writers said the Heat may sign Cousins

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

One of the Heat writers said the Heat may sign Cousins

Saw the rumor a few places....



Free-agent center DeMarcus Cousins (knee) has engaged in contract discussions with the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat. It appears Cousins has fully recovered from his left ACL injury. He was not close to playing in February, but he might be ready to play by the end of July. The Heat currently have a full roster and would need to cut someone in order to sign Cousins. The Lakers signed Cousins in July of 2019 but decided to part ways with him in February. It's unclear how close either team is to signing Cousins at the moment.

[wildturkey]

Given Boogie's recent history, he'd be better served waiting until the new season in December. There's little point in coming back right now.

Warriors got a MLE available for him again. This time around he’ll have a bigger role with KD gone.
