If they’re smart they ask for Preston since they may have a hole at pg after this year…

 

[Mecca]

Of course not.....You have never had Big Red chasing you around the forum.

Shhhhh…..people here don’t know about that….lol

Ugh, yeah…done.

Just not T Mann.

Okay, gotta turn in. Be up at 4am or so to get ready for work.

Not quite eating dinner at 4:30-5pm and in bed by 6:30 yet but it's about 5-6 years away probably. God, it sucks getting old.

minny trade deadline will be fascinating since they’re in such a weird spot.

Orlando got something over Boston this year.

Felt great about going with Orlando +7.5 on my parlay

This would be the 3rd win this Season, no?

I saw D’Lo to the Clippers chatter in another story and quickly closed the window.

No.

Well, unless they took Reggie and Mook.

Still…

…No, just no.

Make it simple and get Conley.

Yep and Boston one win was a struggle

 

[Mecca]

I really like Carter Jr. too.

Orlando has some interesting youngsters with Bol, Bamba, Carter, Wagner, Issacs, Banchero.

Lots of length.

the hard part for the clippers is that only jackson is expiring, right?

Need to find someone else to take someone like Cov or Morris and send the Jazz someone not expiring....like Gallo

 

[Mecca]

Shit, I forgot Harris and Ross were still on the team…lol

This is what @The Q was talking about when he said the Lakers will operate as an over the cap team.

This is a really good breakdown by Keith.

If they can get Rui @ a low starting salary, they can still add a decent player.

Lakers Make Low-Risk Gamble On Rui Hachimura

The Lakers have acquired Rui Hachimura from the Wizards in exchange for Kendrick Nunn & picks. What does this mean financially for each team?

right- but would you rather have 23 million in cap room- or trade for Turner and Hield with RW? Turner alone is going to be a 20M a year player I would think.

They could reroute RoCo.

Many teams want a 3 and D guy on a manageable deal.

Send him to Phoenix for Crowders expiring for example…

No question, the Indy trade.

But, ALLEGEDLY, that is off the table now.

and that becomes a 4 team as danny moves crowder somewhere...maybe a Collins DEAL!!!!!

right-

I am just saying- you could either use your 23M in cap room- or RW's 45 million expiring contract.

Seeing how the Lakers have operated of late- I bet they use the 23M in cap room and save the $---- where the 45M- could be dealt for players- and then even re-dealt again eventually- if you wanted to spend money and had confidence in your front office.

They are fools if they do.

Even the Spurs trade addresses both areas of weakness.
