I do

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

He definitely won it. Not contenders but a solid playoff team but it all depends on these role players and how DLo plays

They are as much a contender in the West as anybody outside of Denver.

Harden has to know better when you play the Celtics in the Garden. The flop is coming. Keep your elbows down cause they’re taught to be bitches. That’s Celtics basketball

 

[DJ Fieri]

WTF is going on in here

Trade!!!!!

...and a solid core of young players to build around for the future. Rui, Vanderbilt, Beasley, Christie, Russell (if they retain him)...

 

[WiggyRuss]

Conley a good fit in Minny too

Twolves were sick of Russell's act---- its interesting. I think its a good move for the Lakers since now they have contracts and Bird Rights they might move- while it was clear they were not going to use RW's Bird Rights.

If they bring back Russell they have no cap room is what it comes down to.

He'll be good for that young team.

Yep.

I like the add of Beasley and Vanderbilt more than Russell to be honest.

I think the role players should help since the guys they are taking minutes from were giving below replacement level value.

With the wide open West, the Lakers have at least given themselves a puncher's chance- IF Davis is healthy, if LeBron is healthy, and they both stay healthy for the playoffs.

They won't either way. Beasley and Rui will soak that up.

Bro, and he kept a pick.

Still not done.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So we added Russell, Habachi, Beasley and Vanderbilt for not much.

LOL.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

THANK FUCK!!!!

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yeah flop on that elbow in your grill, Grant, you fat fuck.

 

[shopson67]

Ok, standing o for Pelinka. Now, get back on the phones with that Bev/Walker/1st package.

right- no one in the West is that good.

The Grizz could take a jump if they make a move.

Honestly- if I was to put my money on anyone in the West right now- with a gun to my head- I would prob. take Golden State if they are healthy in the playoffs.

Nuggets are def. interesting- its wide open, and they are due- and Porter and Murray are healthy and both are just getting more acclimated after injuries.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Still not done.

Nah, we can use that for somebody else.

With the way these trades are going for the Lakers, you’re likely to Beal for that.

 

[WiggyRuss]

They won't either way. Beasley and Rui will soak that up.

are those two somewhat duplicative? I am not sure who I would want long term.

If healthy - with Davis, Bryant, Beasley and Hachimura, they at least have actual NBA depth in the front court.
