2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

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 would be more valuable now with AD out. However, with AD and Lebron healthy, Kuzma becomes a 3rd or 4th option that won't be able to make a big impact, much like when he was with the team. Tough place to spend $25M+ moving forward.

Reread tHoop rules.

No math.

If it requires DJ to take off his socks, all bets are off.

Fuck you.....LOL.

I am actually good at stats and basic math.....fuck Algebra......you never use that shit in real life. Unless, you are a nerd.

He only makes 13 mill and he has a player option for next season and then he's a FA.

Every problem in life can be solved by turning it into an algebra problem!

gotcha.....I do EP for mostly high level clients at a firm- we have almost 10 attorneys that do just EP- pretty sizeable department for that type of law.

Euro patents?

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.

Magic should push for Christie

Maybe even toss in a 2 for that

Bev, Christie and a 2nd rounder?

I was thinking lakers get a 2. Magic have a bunch of them.

Even if it’s a later 2. They find gems

Also could probably do nunn Jones and Christie for Ross in some form. I think that works salary wise.

Why do the Magic want that garbage though? There are a bunch of teams that are looking for a bench shooter that would part with more.

The Magic have bee trying to trade Ross since last trade deadline and haven't found a taker.

Because they were asking for a first round pick for a role player.

Because They’ve (allegedly) been asking for a first

Yeah that's trash. A team can do better than that, depends on the market but I'm sure a ton of teams can offer better.

This guy has a very high opinion of himself. Newsflash bro! You’re just a volume scorer who has never and will never win anything. You dont play team ball. You don’t make anyone better. You dominate a high percentage of the salary cap making you a defacto top player on a squad when the truth is that any team with you on the roster that will actually compete for a championship needs to have you no better than the third option.

I agree.

He's not picking up that player option. He's going to get over $20M annually easy.

I would be hesitant to move Christie for an expiring contract (Ross). I'd rather see what Christie can become. Plus, Jones isn't very expendable with AD out, barring other moves.

I agree. I said that a year ago!

What a sloppy game for MIL and they are still pulling out the victory. This is who I thought LaVine was years ago, a trigger happy scorer- he has been that exact guy today. He’s gotta be better. Couple in the fact that playoff DeMar is back, all of a sudden that great regular season player is gone.
