What if the Wizards threw in Bertens?

He makes 16 mill, salaries don't match.

This post is simply inaccurate

No it isn't.

Bummer. I thought you guys would have had it with that one.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I disagree.

I think it's enough to get them to say "And?".

If the answer is "That's it".

Then they laugh and hang up.

What if....and don't get too excited because this isn't a sure thing..wait....for...it





A second round pick!!!

Bam

Bradley Beal welcome to LA!!!!

I am pretty sure you are joking.

That would take the Lakers way over the cap and unbalance the trade first off.

Secondly that is still a big hell no.

You can’t package players like Schroeder and Kuzma to return a star player unless you are also giving major draft assets that the Lakers don’t have.

Kidding aside. Kuzma and Schroder are young enough and good enough to get a convo started. But the Lakers would have to add in at least 1 more player (KCP, THT, etc.) and they'd have to throw in at least 1 first round pick.

And even with that, I think there are several other teams that could/would beat that offer. Don't know how many more times the Lakers could get away with a guy playing the "I won't re-sign anywhere else" card or if Beal would even be willing to do that. My guess is that he wouldn't.

Plus, Westbrook and Beal seem to be playing well together. Maybe Beal wants to see what they can do going forward?

Does anyone know this player, knick signing, Luca Vildoza?

4 yr 13 mill

I've heard of him. He's from Argentina. He's 8 feet tall, can handle the ball like AI & has a sweet 3 point shot. He's also Manu Ginobili's nephew.

 

[Wamu]

Heard something about it, but wouldn't have a clue about the particulars...

Read comment # 13,889 for my breakdown of Luca Vildoza's skillz.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Seems odd the Knicks would sign him for 4 years

 

[Wamu]

Holy shit!!!!!!!!! Zion out indefinitely, finger.

 

[Black Adam]

Holy shit!!!!!!!!! Zion out indefinitely, finger.

Seriously...?

Not good...

That isn’t even in the ballpark man.

The problem is that if the Wizards did trade Beal (less likely now), they would be rebuilding.

Kuzma and Schroeder are not the types of players rebuilders seek. You want draft assets, young cost controlled players with upside. That is not Kuzma and Schroeder.

Most teams in the league could offer a better package for a rebuilder.

Yeah, I would be surprised if they traded Beal at this point.

They always wait until the star is a negative trade asset before they try to deal him.

Then Kuzma and Schroder would be perfect. lol

Yep. Broken ring finger. And you're right, it's not good. Never like to see any players get injured.

Sure.

For LeBron’s age 40’season.

Zion out indefinitely; Pels blame league for injury

Pelicans VP David Griffin called Zion Williamson's injury "avoidable," saying his franchise superstar was injured because of the way he is officiated in the paint.

Me neither and he's exciting to watch, but the Pelicans season is over in a few more games anyway
