2022 NBA Offseason thread

They should do it. Mitchell isn't a franchise guy, but he is a pretty darn good player. Even with the picks, you should have to give up more than salary filler and Obi Toppin. Cut a couple of the picks off of Utah's ridiculous asking price (isn't it like 5 picks?), add Barrett and that's a fair offer.

I really think the Lakers should run it back with what they got. Give corner 3Russ a chance.

I think he has been here before and is just dumbing it down from his previous acct.

Windy on Dan Patrick says that he thinks the Lakers will make a significant trade involving Westbrook. He just doesn't know if it will be before or during the season. Says that they are willing to trade both 1st round picks, but not for a package that just moves them from a projected 9th seed to a projected 7th seed. Basically, they aren't giving up both picks just to move Westbrook.

Why are you so loud?

Why are you so loud?

He can't figure out how to take the caps lock off or he has anger management issues.

Enjoy the Pat Bev nonsense if you trade for him.

Outside of that bitch move of pushing CP3 in the back, I loved his time with the Clips.

He just needs to tone it down and worry about staying on the court.

He misses a ton of games every year.

I was watching Fat Windhorst and Bontemps on the hoop collective and Timmy came up with a deal that I would have mixed emotions about if I were a Lakers fan.

Russ, THT and both 1sts for Clarkson, Bogdo and Conley.

For one, that's too many guards and they all have a ton of mileage.

You don't need 3 more guards with Christie, Brown, Nunn, Reaves and Pippen on a 2 way.

Plus, do you even have the roster spots?

Most importantly, that price is steeeeeeeeeeep for a trade that doesn't make you a contender.

Bogdanovic would be a good get.

Why not just keep Russ and trade a 1st each for Bogdo and Buddy in separate deals?

The Lakers still have one roster spot open, so a 2 for 3 could work (as would a Pacers deal of Russ and picks for 2 players). As you noted though, that's pretty steep for more depth than they really need.

I would include him. Mitchell is a far better player than Barrett and I am not paying Barrett anywhere close to max money. If it means only give up a couple 1st's include him. They can try to build around Mitchell which won't work but paying Barrett max money is just digging themselves into a bigger hole.

Maybe a change for better will help him evolve.

"Russ, THT and both 1sts for Clarkson, Bogdo and Conley."

Do it in a second, all 3 can shoot.

 

[shopson67]

Espn/tnt should be disgusted now that Brooklyn only on their networks a total of 11 times

Easy fix, just drop a few Heat games.

 

[shopson67]

I don’t see that happening, Russ will mess up some peoples worlds lol

I don't see the value anyway, might as well buy him out.

 

[shopson67]

You got the kind of assets to pull off that acquisition though? My package is pretty impressive

Well, to start I'm single....

 

[shopson67]

Thunder already have dibs

Have to get in line, lol.

 

[shopson67]

It would be a fight every day during practice.

Simple fix: sell tickets to practice too! Or via stream?

Mitchell, Brunson, Randle isn’t a Big 3 that will make waves. But… if they can shed the salary around that group over time they may have room to add a legit max guy and then they have something. But it’s the Knicks so somewhere along that way they’ll fuck it up.
