KCP is a solid defender. It doesn't always show on metrics though. They miss him and Caruso badly on that end.
They could have had Caruso, DeMar DeRozan, and Lonzo Ball but chose to go RW with the excuse they couldn't sign Caruso without increasing the Luxury tax. I say bullshit. Somebody did not want to play with one or all three of those guys and now they are making the Lakers look pretty stupid by being the big three in Chicago. Another guy they should have retained and who is also making the Lakers really stupid is Trezl because he is def having an All-Star year in Washington along with Kuzma!

ESPN is reporting that Lillard is being removed from any discussions that include him in potential Ben Simmons trade with the TrailBlazers. WTH? How can let it be known that they want to move Lillard and then tell the Sixers they don' want to move him for any Ben Simmons potential trades? Maybe that is why Lillard wants out of looeyville.

Do you actually think Pelinka is to blame?
Im sure a certain King was making sure this deal happened

Yes. Jerry West wouldn't pull the trigger on a trade if he thought it was a bad trade. Pelinka is weak and stupid, if you can't stand up to your star even if he wants a trade, you are too weak to be GM. They only one that can override Pelinka is Jeannie, she's the one that has to pay for all this shit.

Because Simmons is not someone you count on to build around like Lillard.

Or could be Lebron who seems to be more like a fan when it comes to moves.....he likes name over fit.

Everyone likes to blame Lebron, but he's not the GM nor owns the team. If Pelinka is too weak to stand up to his stars then he doesn't dserve to be GM.

With all due respect. Im not saying it is right but Lebron is pulling the strings in LA. There are only a handful of GM's left with old school mentality.

LeBron wanted Westbrook. Remember all the fan fare when he was signed.

It isnt working out. Both Westbrook and LeBron need to have the ball.

It also doesn't help that Anthony Davis is the most over rated basketball player in the last 20 years

Zero question Lebron is the GM in LA.

LEbron as the GM at age 30

you deal with

LeBron as the GM at age 37?

not so much.

He is going to beg Dan G. to come back to the Cavs sooner or later. lol

LeBron is dreaming of taking Okoro's job and playing with Garland, Allen, Mobley, Markkenen, and having Love, Rubio etc. coming off the bench.
