Bronny could develop.....but Bryce is the heir apparent to King James. Kid can ball.

IMO.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Good luck

Wow talk about a ton of pressure. Not more than Lebron had when he was a kid but damn, that's too much to live up to for both those youngsters.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Wow. Seems like Fournier has been around forever. I would've guessed that he was much older than Hield.

I think Buddy was in his 20's on draft night.

I think Buddy was in his 20's on draft night.

Might’ve even been close to 23

He was 23 turning 24 that December

Eventually Ainge will come down on his asking price if he truly wants to move Mitchell.

Yup.

Jazz want four unprotected draft picks for Donovan Mitchell

The Post has reported the Jazz are after four unprotected picks and the Knicks are looking to just give two with three conditional picks. Not having Barrett in the deal would not seem to be deal-b…

Fournier was 20 when he debuted in the League.

To lazy to look.

But, wasn't there some debate about his age?

Seems like I remember something about them believing he fudged his age or that there was a question about his Bahamian birth records.

Buddy Hield is 26, not 25, as Kings guard reveals age incorrectly listed

Buddy Hield celebrated his birthday Monday night in Minnesota. While the game never was in doubt — the Timberwolves won by 27 — the Kings guard’s actual age became a topic of discussion. Prior to taking the floor, Hield told the Kings broadcast team of Grant Napear and Doug Christie that he...

Yep.

That's it.

Weird how that happened.

Not his fault.

Lmfao if the kings did their research using Wikipedia... Lol




“That’s their fault, not my fault,” Hield said when asked why everywhere, including the NBA’s website, has him listed as 25. “The first time I saw it on Wikipedia, my mom said, ‘Why do they have your age wrong?’ I said, ‘I have no idea.’ ”

“I came over with a passport,” Hield said. “My passport has 1992 on it. My driver's license has 1992 on it. I just think people got their information from Wikipedia or wherever, and they just went with it. They just got it wrong.

That's ancient for a rookie in this 1 and done era of basketball.

Yeah you got guys getting their rookie extensions at the age he’s getting drafted

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Good luck

Ewwww.

I'm just not a RJ fan.

20 ppg, 6 and 3 is good for a 3rd year guy.

But, it's 20 pts on 17 shots.

He's a 40/35/71 % guy.

He can improve, being so young.

Still .....Pass for 30 mil a year.

Why not just keep Mitchell at that price if you aren't getting a ton of picks?

 

[shopson67]

The only fathomable value Russ would have is going to a team who would be looking to get even further under the cap SU. But his salary is so huge that it makes it hard for teams to make it work.

Like the Knicks I'm sure would do Fournier and Randle for Russ since Randle fully appears to be a disaster there.

NBA Trade Machine - ESPN

Firsts to Utah from Knicks and Lakers. Are the Knicks truly looking to dump Randle? There was some talk about Reddish previously.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Jeanie said Kobe and Mat Barnes played together. So, Russ and Pat Bev can too....lmao

.....Westbrook was the Lakers best player?

Bitch please!!

I can't WAIT to watch this shit show.

It is always fascinating to learn the perspective of someone who has as much insight into an organization as Buss. Her comments about Russell Westbrook, however, were particularly surprising (via The Athletic): “All I can say is that, from my point of view, (Westbrook) was our best player last year. He played pretty much every single game, showed up, worked hard.

Believe it when I see it.

Ham has also said he wants to make RW a defender and a "corner 3 guy." LOL.

Looks like you guys are going after Cam Reddish.

I'm really starting to wonder if the Indy deal is actually something the Pacers are willing to do.

Because, Pat Bev and Reddish help.

But, not enough to put you top 5 if the other teams in the west are relatively healthy.

You guys have to get a shooter.

If you are giving up two 1sts, Reddish and Bogdo is not as good as Turner and Heild.

Lakers interested in Cam Reddish

Jazz president Danny Ainge likes Barrett but he has prioritized gaining four unprotected first-round picks for Mitchell, a three-time All-Star. That may not be possible unless a third team such as …

I saw that Mecca and I thought: "Have you lost your flippin' mind??!!" I was so hyped by that statement I was going to send Jeannie a copy of that vid of Westbrook's 15 minutes of mistakes from last year on Youtube.
