The Cavs could use a shooter

Can’t believe that dude was drafted before Bam and Donovan Mitchell.

Holy Shit @Mecca @WiggyRuss

The Spurs could love Sexton. Wonder what an offer would look like.

Is Sexton, #14 and another 1st enough?

It's probably right there (or better) than the D'Angelo Russell, 2022 and 2024 firsts rumor.

Cowherd just presented an interesting conspiracy theory re: Lebron/the Lakers and Kyrie.

Apparently, the Lakers are now considered the #1 landing spot for Kyrie (I don't see it, but it's what he said). It's also been reported that Lebro is "working behind the scenes to get Kyrie to the Lakers".

Cowherd said that he doesn't think Lebron really wants Kyrie on the Lakers because Kyrie isn't committed to winning. He said that he thinks Lebron is trying to get the Nets to panic and sign Kyrie to long term deal so KD is stuck because he knows a KD/Kyrie Nets isn't a real title threat.

Would be pretty funny if that's true.

He’s a great player that is a nice complement to Garland’s game. Fixes any possible redundancies with Sexton/Garland. I’m rooting for this because if they land Murray, Okoro becomes expendable. Would love to see the Sixers swoop in and add him.

These guys and their hot takes…meanwhile LeBron’s real thoughts are about sparking AD to wanna be the bubble AD more often and trying to stay healthy and extend his career.

I mean, Lebron can be pretty calculating...but yeah, that seems farfetched at best. lol

Yeah, you're right. That leaves Okoro in lala land. They need perimeter shooting and unless he greatly improves they won't need him with Murray's defensive ability. Markkannen isn't a great shooter either though so not ideal but that defensive lineup would be pretty insane

 

[The Q]

It is too late for Portland. Their window has closed.

Just don’t see how they can get out of the first round in the West.

OG man, that would make them really interesting

Okoro is improving

Man I dig him.

I get moving him for a levert type move, but I’m not sure who that vet add would be

Otherwise just keep building

Ohh I do too and they wouldn't move him this year. They will give him this year at least

 

[bksballer89]

I wouldn't hate this but would prefer this with a team option after the 2nd year

I get it

It also keeps your mle to keep Martin

Zach Lowe could just give me a handjob and I would enjoy it less than his trade idea

View attachment 300007

So…

What I gather from this is that you would like a hand job from Zach Lowe.

Whatever works for you man! Get it where you can.

If I could choose between a LoweJob and this trade, I would take the trade. I would like to believe that Low would drop all kinds of fascinating basketball tidbits while jacking me off though.

It would be funny.

But the Lakers have to get through the West before the Nets are even a consideration.

And they need to play much better basketball to even think about doing that.

So maybe he shouldn’t be worried about ruining 1 of the East title threats?

What if you could have both?

I'll allow it

Agree. Which is part of why I think it's funny.

Now, if Lebron believes that adding Kyrie can help the Lakers win a title or if Kyrie was doing this with a Western Conference team...I have no doubt he'd be working behind the scenes to get Kyrie to the Lakers or get the other team to panic.

But as I said earlier, trying to get the Nets to panic seems farfetched.
