Or Goga? As in Goga Bitadze.​

Lmao

You already KNOW how it's going to work....lol

You can pray to baby Jesus, Allah, Jehova, Ram, Yahweh and HaShem and it still won't help Russ shooting corner 3's.

I admire Ham's enthusiasm.

But, he isn't turning Westbrook into Mikal Bridges.

You'd have better luck praying for the Titan God Cronos to rewind time and erase the fact that Rob made that dumbass trade to begin with.

Imagine if he just ignored Lebron's call...lol

Shit, Marvels Thanos might be a safer bet too.

Oh I know....LOL.

 

[shopson67]

You want RANDLE?

Apparently nobody else does.

So, that could probably happen in a 3 team deal.

Also, guess you were right about THT too.

For reasons I can't fathom, the Pacers wanted him.

I think it's more they wanted to rid themselves of Theis contract.

But, it still counts....lol



Michael Scotto: It seems like the best trade the Lakers can make if they want to move Russell Westbrook and try to win this season is with Indiana for Myles Turner and Buddy Hield. One note that’s interesting is before the Lakers traded Talen Horton-Tucker to Utah in the Patrick Beverley trade, the Pacers were trying to get Horton-Tucker, I’m told. Essentially, Indiana was hoping to get Westbrook’s expiring contract, the Lakers’ two first-round picks in 2027 and 2029, along with Horton-Tucker for Turner, Hield and they wanted to make LA take Daniel Theis, who has some years looking ahead on his contract. Theis is more of a fit on a playoff-caliber team as we saw with the Celtics previously. The Lakers weren’t trying to essentially part with THT for Theis in that expanded trade package discussion after already having reservations about moving two first-round picks to get off Westbrook’s contract. In talking with people around the league, anybody that’s taking on Westbrook wants both of those first-round picks.

I wouldn't PURSUE Randle, but if trying to get more value out of those 2 firsts and Westbrook, he would be solid value. He had a poor year last year, but was solid the year prior. He needs a fresh start IMO.

I'm glad THT netted Bev instead of Theis, lol.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

...on a team without much around him. That will be different with the Clips provided everyone's healthy.

Yep.

I just want the dimes.

Scoring would be a unnecessary bonus with the amount of offensive players on the roster.

I'd much rather see Powell, Reggie and Kennard taking perimeter J's than John.

We need him to get the others easy shots.

It's cool that George and Kawhi can create.

But, they are not LeBron James.

That is my only knock against the way Lue coaches this team.

He depends on them to create for others way to much.

Oh, I agree.


I think @trojanfan12 and I talked about a Randle reunion a month or so ago.

The only con that I can come up with is it takes you out of the Kyrie race this summer.

 

[Shanemansj13]

My bad.

I thought he and Edwards were bigger.

In 2019 the NBA went back and made teams list a players true height.

Several Dudes shrunk, LeBron grew...probably Gianni too.

Lebron and KD got taller? Lol

The Pacers trade would as well.

Yeah, AD will be playing C in the 4th of tight games.

Not even going to front.

I know absolutely nothing about this kid.

The Pacers probably want to trade Turner and Theis and go with Smith/Goga duo at C to embrace the tank for the Frenchman. As do other teams.

I would think that a guy like Garnett probably did as well.

Also, it feels like Davis should be taller than Howard.

But, I guess he isn't since everyone got re measured in 2019.

It's not just a 1 man draft.

Wembenbannarama is the pre-injury Zion of the draft.

Just some shit we have never really seen before at that size.

But, Scoot Henderson is the Ja Morant.

Pretty sure Memphis feels good about the way it worked out.

Everyone wanted Lebron.

But, Riley probably isn't to bummed he ended up with Wade
( and eventually 3 of the top 5 in that draft class ).

That’s damn sure a good race to lose

 

[DJ Fieri]

Oh....I know but I think it Utah, SA and Indy are all tanking to get the French guy.

Get da fuck outta here. Nash won those back to back MVP's in '05 & '06.

The Suns record in '05, 62-20 (best in the WC) / record in '06, 54-28 (best in the WC).

The Lakers record in '05, 34-48 (finished 4th in division & missed playoffs) / record in '06, 45-37 (finished 3rd in division).

Everyone want him.

OKC has 3 other string bean near , and actual , 7 footers.

Two they drafted a few months ago.

They would still take Frenchie.

That Dude is going to be the ultimate fools.good.

He will likely be on his best behaviour, contract year.

But, he's the Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry of the NBA.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL and a dream while you're dating.

An absolute nightmare, dressed like a day dream , when you wife them.

That's Kyrie.

Shout out to T Swift.

 

[Retroram52]

Russ and the Lakers working on an extension. Good luck.

He would look good in a Lakers uni for 3-4 more years

I know Shanemansj13 is using satire here to remind everyone just how insane this mess with Westbrook has become. But to join and remind everyone just how bad Westbrook was last year here is the famous 4 min vid about Russ doing stupid shit. I should send a copy to Jeannie Buss who stuck her foot in her mouth trying to spin Westbrook possibly staying would be a good thing for the Lakers. LOL!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Kobe finessed the League....LOL.
