WHEN SOMEONE CALLS THAT ACCOUNT A ALT CLEARLY THAT PERSON HAS SOME HEATED HISTORY WITH GEEK

Are you a Minnesota sports fan?

Things are about to get interesting.

Why did you just eat at Taco Bell?

I really don't want GH.....but damn if we got Rozier along with GH? For RW and the 2 1st rounders?

James, AD and Rozier is a nice trio. I like Hield but Rozier is a scorer, defender and has Bev's mindset. Might be better than getting Irving. Fucks our cap space next summer.....but Rozier might be a better player than we could get next summer.

Why would the Hornets trade Rozier?

After Bridges decided to get his OJ on, I'm starting to wonder if they will even trade Gordon.

The Bees need a Center.

I could see you splitting the difference in a trade with Indy.

Indy gets Westbrook and a pick from Lakers.

Bees get Turner and sends Indy another 1st.

Lakers get Buddy and Kelly Oubre.

Hayward makes too much.

Sucks for Chet I know he is somewhere right now emotional. I am a glad this happened AFTER he went 2nd overall and inked a 4 year 45 million dollar fully guaranteed deal. If this injury would have happened at Gonzaga and he was going to miss the 2022-23 season he would have probably have to come back for his sophomore season but even then I doubt he would have went top 5 teams would have been too scared of his injury history.

Embiid still got picked early.

Hmmmmmmmm.......that's not bad.

Oubre isn't a shooter but he could be a scorer as a reserve and Hield is the gunner we need.....

I could even see us adding a 2nd to the Hornets.

Lmao

1. Former Clipper/ Newest Laker

2. Current Clipper

3. Current Clipper

4. Sloth make it rain James.

5. Current Laker King.

Doesn't hurt that both of those current Clippers were Lakers FA targets that ultimately gave them the cold shoulder, lol.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Good news.

But, no need to rush him.

Chet Holmgren expected to be ready for 2023-24 season, long-term prognosis very positive

Clemente Almanza: Sam Presti said the expectation is that Chet Holmgren will be ready by the 2023-24 season

Eh....

But, that's on Lakers management.

You can't count your chickens before they hatch by saying " Well, we will just get them for free in the Summer ".

But, its not like it didn't work out for you in the longrun.

Yeah, those two guys: no rings since dodging the Lakers (and a lot of time lost to injury). Maybe the Lakers did the dodging....

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Hmmmmmmmm.......that's not bad.

Oubre isn't a shooter but he could be a scorer as a reserve and Hield is the gunner we need.....

.....and Oubre is expiring.

Plus, you keep one of your 1st.

Buddy mucks up your cap for the Summer.

But, if it all goes to shit in Brooklyn...

Send out that 1st with Buddy in a sign and trade for Kyrie or another star on the block.

Despite the current state of the Lakers, you won a ring during that time.

Who gives a shit about going to the conference finals or being better than your team if it didn't contribute to winning it all?

The hornets have spent their last 2 firsts on centers

Might as well let them run since without bridges you aren’t making the offs

if we get Oubre.....we wouldn't need Melo. Even though he's a better shooter.....Oubre is younger and could give us more on the 2nd team.

Melo should go to the Knicks.

 

[shopson67]

Technically, Randle did play his rookie season.

I wanted him to go to Brooklyn.

Don't think they are interested.

Like 13 minutes...lol

But, yeah.

Nah, the Nets filled out their roster and KD and Irving decided to work it out.

He started with the Knicks.....would be a nice end to his career and they could use him off the bench. Especially, if they deal a bunch of guys for Mitchell.
