It now appears that everyone lost the nets not giving udoka the job a few years ago

The nets
Now the Celtics
Udoka (wouldn’t have met this chick)


Even nia long….
Again: Winning matters.

Its not in the same category as the Watson debacle.

But, if Ime didn't make the Finals, if he sucked, they could void his deal under the morals clause.

Rosas just got fired for banging a employee in Minny.

They won't because they don't want to and he'd have another job tomorrow.

That shit is between him and his common law wife and God.

He didn't sexually assault her....or 60 other women.

Literally nothing about this makes a

You already have two recent first centers on your roster

You had teams supposedly willing to offer firsts for him….and you do this?

Yeah, the past couple of days has been strange.

The Lakers abruptly cancel a presser which leads to speculation that some kind of deal is imminent.

Everything we've heard was that Danny coveted the Lakers firsts in a Bog deal...

then he trades him in a move that returns no picks?

Update:

By my calculations jazz are saving around 5m

But got nothing of value in return for that savings

Something else gotta be going down
Danny Ainge will just pivot if you don't give him what he wants.

...even if he gets a lesser return.

They got nothing.

This is bonkers.

This is dumb as hell.

Let your two young centers figure it out.

Sign d12 to teach them the finer, proper defensive points they need to know since those young centers are similar styles (bigger rim protectors)

Twice he fucked the Lakers in a non deal.

The other teams must have wanted to unload salary.

Otherwise, why not take the pick from the Suns or Mavs?

Seems pretty certain that the Suns did offer one.

Jazz have to have something else brewing.

Unless the guys coming back are on non guaranteed deals, he now is over the roster limit by 3 contracts.

Wtf?

For Utah?

Absolutely.

But, I like it for Detroit.

They could make the play in for sure.

That seems to be the plan

In that case I’d be trying to package hayes bey and whatever else to land that missing piece

They’re young and cheap but ultimately replaceable for them

Yeah. It’s odd

I’m sure he can but someone out if needed

But not sure why they’d be consolidating players either

Clippers were trying to get Noel from the Knicks.

They should circle back.

Yeah, from what I recall, the Lakers were willing to give up 1 first in a Bog deal. Unless there's another move coming, that would have been better than what he just got.

Heck, that 4 team deal that Shane posted yesterday would have been far better. The Jazz got 2 firsts in that one and wouldn't have had to take Westbrook.

The Lakers are not going to engage in anymore trade scenarios and they will go into the season with Westbrook. They'll attempt to play him but if all falls apart, they'll Wall him.

Ainge took the Detroit deal to bring some of the players he selected while with the Celtics, one of whom being Olynyk. Yep, he screwed the Lakers twice for sure and he was hoping they give him those two Number Ones he wanted.

Because of the Gobert trade and Ainge's demand for alot of draft picks (sometimes unreasonably so), guys like Ainge and the Nets have become uber greedy in getting a huge booty for desired players. Indiana, who back in the summer was willing to move both Turner and Hield for a Number One and maybe a Number Two suddenly started wanting a couple of Number Ones just for Turner. Call it the Ainge/Gobert/Nets effect.

The Lakers decided they were not going get caught-up in being taken to future draft picks hell just because they have/had a near desperate desire to move Westbrook. They then released the condition that no Number Ones unless the return made them a contender.

So the impasse between Ainge and the Lakers took hold and voila, the Lakers are going into the season with Westbrook on their roster.
