Thoughts?

He’s only 31…I thought he was 5 years older…lol

8ppg shooting 41% from the field 36% from 3.

Id do it for trash ass Pat Bev.

Dude is cooked.

Lakers have long had interest in Terrence Ross?

Terrence Ross has long garnered interest from the Los Angeles Lakers, sources said. New York was in pursuit of Ross in previous years, as well. Yet, while Orlando has rebuffed offers below a first-…

What for though? Magic would want more than just PatBev. He'd be a fine player around Lebron, but he's the kind of player they should have pursued the last 2 years. It's too late now unless they'd somehow do PatBev straight up. 1st round pick, no way. Maybe a 2nd.

Still a long way to go yet, but it seems that team has been in somewhat of a disarray mode lately.

At what point do the Pistons fire Casey. I know they lost Cade, but they shouldn't be this god awful. Especially since Casey is supposed to be a young player developing coach. Not seeing development, just losses. It is past time to move on. #FireCasey

HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED HIM AND HIS GOD AWFUL ROTATIONS

I posted something a few days ago where it would be totally Lakers-like to to trade Kuzma away in a deal with a first round pick- and then trade a first round pick to get him back.

He would be helpful though. He might even be worth an unprotected pick assuming they plan on paying him handsomely and resigning him- which I am sure they would.

Hes a solid shooter power forward that can rebound and get to the rim. Hes turned himself into an above average starter if you ask me. Id rather have him then Hield----- Turner is debatable since Turner plays some damn good defense and is athletic.

Kuzma has developed into a good player.

But he is not a good fit with LeBron.

Part of the reason he has become the guy that he is is because he has been given the opportunity to create a lot in Washington. He never gets that playing next to LeBron in LA.

I am not sure there is much the Lakers can do to salvage the last years of LeBron, but I am sure a Kuzma trade is not the answer.

A quiet Dodgers offseason speaks loudly to the top priority for the next year: Shohei Ohtani

Small, one-year deals. No major shortstop addition. And a dip under the luxury tax? It all adds up to one major goal for the Dodgers.

Ohtani next offseason!!!!

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Baseball is just trash anymore with these deals.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Walker making just a shade under 40% on his 3's and Reaves is at 39%.

Not saying we couldn't use another shooter but I was right about those 2.

Can they start shooting about 20 a game, each?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Not gonna lie, I am not necessarily happy about this season but it could have been a lot worse if James had sustained a serious injury at his age and RW wasn't happy about his role on the bench.

We are currently only 3.5 games out of the 6 seed and there are a couple teams currently in the playin who can definitely fall out. So the playin is definitely possible if we can't finish in the top 6.

Still hoping Pelinka pulls off a trade to try and show he is at least trying to make us better.

Portland in the OKC tonight for round 2! Giddey out again.

It was a simple math based question. I think I’m on to something!

We don't even shoot 40 a game.

Been like 28-32 a game since we started shooting better after starting at 21%.

OKC and the points.

Only 4 tonight lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers need to beat the Kings tonight.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ayton needs to be careful.

If it came down to it.....I'd take Williams if they got into it.

Reread tHoop rules.

No math.

If he's as cheap as a 2nd rounder it's worth exploring (if the AD injury is going to lock down those future firsts). I would think they're aiming higher with Bev's salary otherwise?
