2021-2022 NBA Season

I hate that Dolphins lawsuit, it forced Brady back into the league lol.

Oh I think he was going to play anyway, just for the Dolphins

He was taking a front office position there, right?

 

[The Q]

Their depth is a strength, and I think their bigs (Zubac and Hartenstein) are at least sufficient. Covington and Hartenstein are FAs, and Hartenstein could be offered more elsewhere (non-Bird, limited raise available from the Clips, just like Monk with the Lakers). Hartenstein isn't necessarily a hot commodity, but he's worth more than his $1.7M in free agency most likely. Rodney Hood is likely gone though. Offseason needs are a backup PG and potentially a backup C in my opinion.

Pg is an mle level need

Backup c they can probably fill a bit cheaper

Another good place for Corey Joseph to land

If they don’t want hayward they probably also don’t want brogdon.

I think lack of interest with Hayward would have more to do with his injuries. They already have a 1 injury prone star to worry about and Lebron is can probably only be counted on for about 65ish games.

And any Russ trade is likely gonna involve picks unless their gm is brain dead

I think that goes without saying. But it would depend as well on what they are taking back. If it's the Charlotte or Indy trades as proposed, they should definitely be involving picks.

One like the proposed Wall trade from last year...no.

I care about the MVP because I’m a sports fan and it’s a big deal. I don’t care about what you have to say. You’re an ass clown.

Stay classy Joel you flopping whore…

You’re just mad because the Pacers have never had a 5 that can actually play him.

I miss this LeBron, way back when his brand wasn’t bigger than the game itself:

Ok Skip Bayless.

And Pelinka is close to being brain dead. He keeps his job because he is one of Jeannie Buss's friends. That's about the extent of his involvement.

Business is booming as AB like to say

That can't be true because the NBA is too woke and they suck China's dick and everyone hates LeBron and the players run the league and...

 

[msgkings322]

But thanks for the picks though

Yes you guys really need those

 

[thunderc]

He was taking a front office position there, right?

That’s what they were saying but it sounds like the plan was for him to come back and play at some point.

 

[The Q]

Yeah

But they thought people would get upset if they actually hired the best candidates

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Well LeBron isn’t actually playing right now, so there’s that. Those that think the league’s ratings will suffer when he retires are misinformed.

There does seem to be enough other talent now to keep it going...good!

I miss this LeBron, way back when his brand wasn’t bigger than the game itself:

Lets all just remember, he was always bigger than Indiana. Pacer fans have nightmares about Lebron and never recovered, as I see you haven't.

Has absolutely nothing to do with the Pacers. Case in point, I’d rather see him on our division rival Cavs as opposed to him continuing to sell himself out in LA.

I don't mind him really. That Westbrook trade was worth taking a shot on.

The problem with Pelinka is that his previous job as agent hasn't exactly enamored him with other GMs and owners. Negotiations can start off negatively just because he is involved.

 

[trojanfan12]

Then the problem is with them, not him.

End of the day, what they think of him doesn't matter if they are doing their ultimate job which is to do what it best for their team. If they're trying to make a deal and a deal with the Lakers is their offer...they aren't going to not make the deal because they don't like Pelinka.

I think alot of that is bullshit anyway. They know how the game is played and they know the GM and agent are always at cross purposes. They may not send him a Christmas card every year, but that's not going to stop them from doing business with the Lakers.
