It's a Pistons move though.......LOL.

I think the new regime has a grand scheme they just are banking too much on this year's lotto imo. Definitely sucked with covid probably keeping them from getting one of the 3 or 4 solid rookies so they did the same shit and grabbed a raw rookie so they could keep tanking.

Sekou looks to be a bust.

That said Blake is making himself untradeable with his play. Rose is almost sure to get dealt though and that should net something from a contender.

Made me feel better that they did try offering Wood but they were apart on money. 4 million isn't a lot but there was a cap reason behind the move.

Winning cures a lot of ills.

I honestly don't care what his numbers are as they don't mean anything until this team gets past the second round in the playoffs.

His scoring numbers are really down this season....

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Hey, relax.....I'm having some fun this AM. Knew Stakes would come from out behind the bushes.....

Everybody is so serious in here.....LOL.

Its all good I just hate Kyrie and Blake is seriously pissing me off. He's pretty unlikable anymore.

Late 1st rounder for Rose?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Lol at this

"

Blake Griffin​

Trade Value: Anything (granola bar works)

The deterioration of Blake Griffin’s body was expected and noticeable each year."

Would think so

Especially if a team loses a PG to injury.

Expensive granola bar....

Can I offer you Alex Caruso, Wesley Matthews and a 2nd rounder for Rose?

Caruso and Matthews are expiring.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Yep

He is basically a stop sign on defense now.

Lakers don’t need him

4 points per game?
Eh, Harris and Curry have essentially made that up on more efficient shooting.

Will it hold? Maybe.
Curry gives us that 3pt gravity that we haven't had since Redick.

I still want to see us hold teams to under 100 points on a nightly basis, but in this day and age, that's really hard to do.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I've joked about this but I'm surprised that a crazed fan or in OKC with Melo the owners haven't had a guy killed. Like Melo was a huge tax hit had they not managed to move him. It was the Rockets or death i think that year.

Blake may find himself accidentally thrown down a flight of stairs when he picks that option up

I thought that was a huge pickup for the Sixers at the time of the trade-Curry for Richardson. Still a head scratcher. Curry is an amazing floor spacer for Doncic and he is doing great in Philly now, that was a mistake

Has Richardson been hurt or in the Covid protocol?
He's only played 8 games and his numbers.... aren't that good.

I'll wait to give him a 20 game stretch, but it's definitely helped the Sixers.

Ooh.

That would be awful for the Lakers.

You all underestimate the impact of players like Danny Green and Wes Matthews

They can defend.

Caruso is solid also, and a great fit with LeBron.

Derick Rose is a ball dominant player. He would help the Laker depth if they could land him, but not at the expense of 2 quality rotation pieces. Rose is not nearly as good a fit.

I was wondering if he'd decline that to sign with a contender.....he's worth 110 million.

I think Rose would be nice off the bench as a scorer and PG with the 2nd unit.

And when he plays with the 1st unit......James is the de facto PG.

Not sure. I’m not saying Richardson is some slapdick but it was vital for the Sixers to get a sharpshooter since Redick lost. I thought he was so underrated on Dallas too. When I initially saw the trade I didn’t get ot for Dallas but like you said, we will see how it plays out
