lol

I mean, I know the Lakers are interested, but "C'mon Man"

Close Friend of Top Free Agent Posts Lakers-Themed Photoshop

The interest between the Los Angeles Lakers and a top free agent could be mutual.

CP3 and Bron are friends, not sure about drama? But when you have Lebron, possibly the best player ever on your team...all attention is on you but according to him it isnt about that. He doesnt want to be a ring chaser. He wants to be a 1 or 2 on a championship team it sounds like

You obviously have your opinion, CP3 is not going to be dictated to at this point in his career. I don’t blame him.

The Mavericks are looking all over for a secondary playmaking presence behind Luka Doncic; they’re chasing Indiana’s Victor Oladipo, Brooklyn’s Spencer Dinwiddie, and Chicago’s Zach LaVine. – via nbadraft.theringer.com

LOL he does know divisions doesn't matter in the nba ? so I don't see the purpose of that.

Crazy . Raptors got Kawhi and Green for Derozan.
Now its Green and Kuzma for Derozan

He gave up more than that.

Poetl and a 1st were not insignificant assets.

Also, Kawhi was at a low point in value because of his lost season in SA.

Very good trade, no doubt. But still.

those make sense for the Mavs.

I really like Dinwiddie there.

Yeah, cannot forget about Poetl, who was a top 10 pick.

I agree. I really don't see the purpose of modifying divisions at this point. Now, if they were going out west, that'd be something to potentially consider.

Actually If the Raptors were playing in Tampa this year it would make sense when it comes to travel.

Not really, if you're staying within conference, you're playing out of division opponents two/three times. In-division opponents you play 4 times. The difference shouldn't be substantial.

I talk a lot of shit about Russ but last year I thought he played incredibly well for the Rockets and he was the best player on the floor a lot of nights. He should want out after what’s going on over there.

Never gonna happen as I'm sure near bottom of his list, but I'd love to have him here.

I mean, 2 years left so if we acquired him he can either play or quit if Cavs played hardball but thinking reason never gonna happen is I doubt they'd deal the #5 and while maybe they'd want Love (doubtful) possible he might be the only guy who could make Russ want to play as they are buds.

As I said, just a pipe dream, but would be excited to watch a team with Sexton, Westbrook, Nance, Love and TT or Drummond with a defensive minded wing with the 5 pick.

agree seems like NY might be the likely choice...though not often we see the likely choice happen. Like when he went to Houston.

 

[dtgold88]

This would be interesting. I'm kind of on the fence about it though.

On the one hand, he would be the playmaker that the Lakers need to take some of the burden off Lebron and could very well step into that 3rd star role.

On the other hand, he's a 28% 3 point shooter for his career. So, he doesn't do anything to address that need. I'd have to look, but at that percentage, he might actually be the Lakers worst 3 point shooter.

Not sure I get this one either....sure I'd prefer Derozan over Kuzma and Green but not for your team for the reason you gave (shooting). If I'm making a spalsh move I would think there's a better player/fit for them.

Report: Cavs Have Discussed Deal to Send Kevin Love to Warriors

A new report indicates that the Cleveland Cavaliers have discussed the possibility of a three-way trade that would send Cavaliers forward Kevin Love to the Golden State Warriors.

And the Cavs wouldn't get Draymond

Spurs updating an old school look. Sharp.

Hard to care from our standpoint without knowing who we'd get. Be interesting IF it went down if GS essentially moved Green for Love, a guy supposedly no one would trade for....then again, doesn't say much for him if all we got was a shorter bad contract.

yeah I think trading Wiggins Poole and paschall for love makes more sense

We know not to expect much of anything in return...the most important thing is getting him off the books long-term.

Probably. Doesn't do much for me, as essentially Love for Wiggins (again). But since he's younger have to think more upside for Wiggins and still a chance he can become the guy many thought he would coming out. Love's best days are clearly behind him.

I'm sure GS would want more than Love for Wiggins. In this deal it looks like Love is replacing Green, if I had to guess. They keep Wiggins...the Cavs take salary from that 3rd team that acquire Draymond.

I'm with you...I don't want Wiggins. I would keep Love over acquiring Wiggins in a heartbeat.

you inflate his value and then cash out.

like Harrison Barnes.
