Oh well, kid better grow some thick skin.

Lakers got better.

He can be in his feelings in the G League.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Then they deserve all the pain coming to them

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Feel bad that he is getting worked over by the media.

But, if this is true, I pray he picks you.

I think it's bs. I've always liked Russ the person. And I've never heard him being accused of being bad on that level.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

The latter by far

 

[shopson67]

Not quite worth giving up ALL their available picks, on top of players.

But that's just my opinion. And I sure as fuck aint a GM.

I don't have any idea what picks it would require.

 

[The Q]

Why give up assets for a neutral trade?

Seriously, just keep Reggie.

Lowry does not move the needle.

Because those dudes (wall and Jackson) are way underwater

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

We got trades.

So, not going to try and light fire to the thread.

But, GMAFB…..he didn’t touch him.

….and off the books next year.

….and off the books next year.

So you waste one year and can only add a pg for 6m via fa

Kinda makes sense. Although I’m quite surprised Ham didn’t play Bryant and AD together

Me too, ShaqDaddy

Why Ham didn't play those 2 together so AD could move back to PF was puzzling, especially considering it would've given them 2 legit shot blockers on the floor for defensive purposes, and Bryant was playing great at the time.

That F-Up is all on Ham and his poor management of the rotation.

Should've had Schroder, Beverly, LJ, AD and Bryant as the starting 5 with RW, Hachi, Reaves, Walker, Wenlen in some combo with the starting 5 off the bench.

I have some info on this from his years in OKC. He seems to be one of the best family guys in the league. His wife really got involved in the community and even opened a clothing store. He did a thanksgiving dinner every year, much like everything with him though there are always conflicts. One of the things he was criticized for here was every now and then he would run around getting the crowd going and he would say “ you all get the fuck up”. Obviously there were families with kids in the crowd. I have to think the Thunder tried to get him to stop that but who knows, he pretty much did what he wanted. Overall I’d say he is about the last guy in the league you would ever see get in any real trouble .

Dude….

The Clippers are blowing this shit up after this year.

Why attach assets to try and move Lowry?

No.

Just fail with what you already have, don’t waste more assets on a deal that won’t help you win?

Yeesh, forgot about that. Bringing family vibes to the roster?

Straight up flop.

Increasing chances Eric Gordon is traded today

Brian T. Smith: Increasing likelihood that Rockets trade Eric Gordon today. Not finalized but recent movement to move on from longtime Rocket veteran.

Need AD's defense at the rim. Bryant doesn't play much D, certainly not as much as I expected from him. Bryant was also too reluctant to space the floor, given his relative success from 3.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Fuck it, fine.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Bazley to the Suns.

 

[shopson67]

Fuck it, fine.

Good things come to those who wait...as long as you like Bones that is.
