2021 NBA regular season thread

Well, the Nets are inquiring regarding Love and McGee.....I'm just speculating since it's being discussed.

Yeah.

I am not sure their front office people know what they are doing.

Trading for Love and establishing a big 4 would basically prove that.

Sean Marks has been pretty good since he's been there.

Love fits fine with Kyrie.

He just isn’t reliable and he is the opposite of what Nee Jersey needs.

Joe Harris is a great fit.

His D would hurt, but they could use his rebounding. More shooting with harden never a bad thing. agree harris a great fit with them.

 

[dtgold88]

Not sure what the Wizards think they are going to do with Drummond, but I would be okay with turning Russ into those 2 players.

I don't blame you.....I guess depends what one sees as Garland's ceiling. Of course, what the Cavs see would determine whether they'd entertain that deal. and, of course, how far they thought Westbrook could get us. Lineup of Westbrook, Sexton, Okoro, Love/Nance and Allen would be intriguing. worth making if they thought it got them into group with Cs, Philly, Nets, etc. but not sure it does.

 

[dtgold88]

Nance is out, he was going to be doing his best against Lebron. I don’t expect much, probably a comfortable win for LA

You hoodwinked me, @DJ . Spread should be at least 15 without Nance. Kidding, of course. still in.

 

[dtgold88]

Really liked him a lot when he played for the Lakers.....

His dad is my all time favorite Cavalier. Jr will one day be under consideration, I think.

Harris is a solid defender and a better shooter.

They need to find a rim protector to erase some of the mistakes that are going to get made on the perimeter.

Dealing Harris and DJ for Love would make their defense significantly worse.

The spread is -10.5. LOL.

That's what I used.

My favorite Cav is Kyrie. I mean it's a tie between Daugherty & Price.

My bad...wasn't aware they were saying Harris/DJ for Love. Thinking just a hypothetical of adding Love. agree...better off as is than making that trade.

McGee makes sense. Love makes no sense..they have to match salaries and they have little to no draft capital

McGee helps their defense a bit too. Gives them a rim protector at least.

Love just brings more offense (which they don't need) and would actually make them even worse defensively.

So, here's hoping they trade for Love. lol

i'm aware. I'm in. what the heck?

Those 2 are definitely among my favorites. Given the choice, so wish those 80s teams could have won a title over the team that did.

 

[bksballer89]

Looking forward to seeing him in a heat Jersey

They had one big problem. The roadblock that was Air Jordan.

Their FO seems like it's being run by one of those fans that thinks all you have to do is get a bunch of stars on your team and start collecting rings.

Kind of.

He is a complete liability in pick and roll. That would be exploited.

If McGee is added cheaply as a backup, then sure. He provides big depth.

But also remember, the Lakers really hit next level in the playoffs last season when they started benching McGee.

This. What the hell are they trading for Love

Kyrie? Lol

Yeah, he's more of a situational player. But he's still better defensively that just about anyone else they have. lol

I guess if you're going all in for 145 to 140 scores you do it lol
