Hopefully it's a good thing all is quiet on thr Diallo front. Getting him back cheaply would be nice.
I like the Kelly signing for the Pistons. He balled out with the Rockets......he can score, rebound, and pass.....

How many 3's has Allen ever made? Asking for a friend.

Outdated center and all.

Was hoping closer to what Plumlee made but at least it's a signing with a clear direction of what they want to be and do. It's a little painful to think Wood is only a few mil more though. But...had they kept Wood maybe they win a few more games and don't get Cade.

not necessarily.

So right now the lux tax line is 136 million. That will only continue to go up- especially after Covid stagnation.

Allen just signed to 20M- which is not bad at all. Its pretty much the going rate for a solid player. Love is off the books in 2 years- right when they have to extend Garland- you basically just switch the deals (if Garland wants and deserves a "max"- which i certainly hope he does.

Mobley and Okoro are not extension eligible for years of course. Even when they are- they are still limited to contracts that are only 25% of the cap if they are "max" guys.

Now- who knows what Sexton gets- and if he stays--- 136 million right now is over 5 "max contracts". If they are willing to pay the tax- that goes even higher- which- i mean- Dan G. is worth 35 billion i dont think he will mind.

I worry about much more if the guys will be worth paying- than if they will have the space to pay- especially young guyso n their 1st post-rookie K's.
It's always a good thing if you have too many guys you can't pay, like you said I hope the issue isn't...are these guys really worth paying? For me all that could depend on Mobley, they either build this into something special or it fails and they fall into another rebuild. They need a star to build anything special.

They really don't need Allen to shoot 3's...Mobley will be that guy hopefully. He has a sweet stroke, that being said, Allen has improved his jumpshot. He has a mid-range shot he just needs to be more consistent.

You can get by with one guy on the floor who doesn't shoot 3's much. He does just enough to keep defenses honest

right....and when your core 5 is 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 years old --- you arent going to win much anyway. Id expect them to have a back end lotto pick this year---- all though in the new lotto weird things can happen.....

I was really encouraged by Okoro by the end of the year. in January of last year he was averaging 9 points a game.

By May he was at almost 17 points a game. They def. dont need 17 points a game out of him. we all know his defense is going to carry him- but if he develops into a solid offensive player he can be a really nice wing player for them.

Again- like Sexton- they really drafted a good kid with a good head on his shoulders that wants to work in Okoro. Guy is 20 years old.

I cant even imagine what I was doing at 20. lol.......I both look back at it with reverence and i cringe. lol.

Yeah and his numbers seem good from mid-range to 3 he just rarely takes those shots. It will take time bc I saw that he does hesitate sometimes but when he does pull the trigger he looks smooth. Either way he is a good enough defender, paint protector and finisher like Gobert he won't be needed to do a whole lot. He adds a good mid-range and it puts defenders in an uncomfortable situation with his length and athleticism.

Meh, not being a threat from 3, doesn't necessarily make a center outdated. There's more to it. For example, there's being athletic enough/quick enough to defend the pick and roll and to defend out to the 3 point line. Those are things that it looks like Allen can do.

Where it could become an issue is if it turns out that Mobley can't hit the 3 because that makes it very difficult to play them together due to spacing issues. But, if Mobley becomes the 3 point threat that many believe he will, that can work well. Especially if Allen develops a strong inside game and has or develops the ability to play facing the basket.

Just calling out Wiggy on his double standard bullshit. According to him, centers need to be able to hit the 3.

The roster as constructed revolves around Lebron. Countless times we've always mentioned Lebron being load managed, yet he always averages around 38-40 MPG.
Yeah maybe at the end of the year if they have a seed wrapped up, otherwise Lebron is playing. He doesn't do that Kawhi bs

Ace in the hole isn't worth much when the other guy has a flush
With what the Lakers already signed, they don't need Schroeder. I think that dude is gone. I don't think the Lakers even wanted him. Him and Kuzma messed up the chemistry feuding.

and as much as it galls me to admit it, he's the proverbial glue that holds the whole thing together...
