[The Q]

Unless Russ is dealt, he would hardly see the court.

I obviously have that happening as well since I’ve been pushing it since the gobert trade lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bog is wasting away in the Motor City.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yes we know. The Pistons should give the Lakers Bojan for a bag of Check Mix

Who said that?

It all depends on asking prices of the trade partners. Some very differing opinions depending on what side you're on. Laker supposedly back in talks with the Spurs (Spurs are below the salary floor), but want picks upon picks for each potential target.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

They're right for getting what ever they can. Just likely pushes the Lakers in another direction...

Trading him for anything less than a first isn't likely

Or a young piece

 

[DJ Fieri]

All 9 of us Clippers fans got us that high on the list?

Clipper Darrell is intense!!!!

No one I'm poking fun

Laker fans are easy targets for ridicule, that's all.

I mean... he signed an extension. Seems like he's fine

Shame that you can't come up with something original.

They supposedly want an unprotected first AND a young piece for a 33 year old player. Push for what you can, maybe another contender with more appropriate trade assets can meet that. Lakers likely missed their chance when he was traded to the Pistons.

Anyone that trades for him is going to want control past this season, and no reason for him not to get his money.

Like I said everything I've heard is they want him as a veteran presence around the youngins unless they get a deal that blows them away.

The Pistons are going to change the roster makeup sooner than later and I don't think they're married to any players other than Duren Ivey and Cade....but again...Bojan seems to be a piece they'd moreso keep than not.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Who was it that said after the Mitchell trade that Mobley doesn’t assert himself as it is and that this could quell the rate of his progress? Was that you @WiggyRuss or was that you @dtgold88 ? I can’t remember. Either way gentlemen…great call.

I def. did.........I am not so much worried about it yet---- he is only 21......but its gonna be tough to develop this offensive game when you have Allen getting a bunch of put backs- and Garland and Mitchell dominating the ball......Love and LeVert and Osman need some shots and are some legit bench scorers.

Not a lot of shots for him. 14, 9 and 3 with great defense is pretty solid for 21 years old--- but at some point he is going to have to get more aggressie and the Cavs are going to have to work harder to get him the ball.


I honestly think that getting Rubio will help Mobley a solid amount.

I am excited for Rubio's return since I think he will get more use out of Allen and Mobley.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

It's just the usual

Laker rumors are them offering 2 players detroit doesn't want for a protected first rounder 5 years from now.

Sweet. The Lakers pick doesn't fit Detroits timeline.

 

[trojanfan12]

I think he means that in the sense that he could really help a contender and possibly get himself a ring before he retires.

On the other hand, he signed an extension, so he obviously doesn't hate being there.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Does Draymond count as a fan for the Warriors?

Luka is the worst.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Lakers flipping nunn into Corey Joseph at backup Pg would be a huge upgrade

Lakers flipping Nunn into another Nun, Mother Teresa, would be a huge upgrade.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Bog is wasting away in the Motor City.

He signed an extension.

So, I'm guessing he's good.

Have not heard a peep about him wanting to leave.

Which wouldn't matter because, again, he signed an extension.

Clearly, securing the bag was his #1 priority.

Mother Teresa can’t go left.
