Sure, but is Carter/Reaves better on the roster than Caruso/Vincent?
Fair point. It’s probably a dead heat from that perspective. The best defender in the group of 4 is Caruso. It depends on what you value most around LeBron/AD.

I think a first round pick and a young player isn’t too shabby for a 36% from 3, 3 and D player.
I guess the disconnect comes from the fact that I am not as high on Springer as you are.

Kid got drafted in 2021-22 and has only played 31 NBA games?

Was he injured or just banished to the G League?

Yeah....he said Springer and the 1st is the nuts and bolts of the deal....

You had Harris going to the Bulls and LaVine the Sixers....you even posted it from the trade site you use.

LOL.
In June…before I saw what Maxey take another leap. I assumed they needed to do something to show Embiid they were serious post Harden. Things change quickly. It’s weird that you remember shit from June and July but conveniently forget the numerous anti LaVine posts I’ve made over the last 6 weeks he was being linked to the Sixers. I guess that stuff can happen when a person is touched.

The concern I would have is using Reaves as the starting PG. All the other PGs on the roster are potentially tied up in this mock trade.

I don't know. Laker fans love Caruso. If I could get Carter in the deal without giving up Reaves, I think that's the better path. There will be other interest in Caruso, so I doubt he would be available in such a deal.

Without there being competing interest in LaVine (maybe the Sixers?), the Lakers should push to keep as much draft capital and key rotation players out of the deal (or just avoid it altogether preferably).
Yeah, it’s kinda similar to the Harden situation, sans the strippers, quitting and overall slothness.

So, why bid against yourself?

With that being said….

Be careful that they don’t sneak a PJ Tucker sized poo poo platter into the deal.

Clippers stay losing.

The insults here are getting a bit much.
I think you’re being exclusionary with this perspective. How else is @DJ, a guy who doesn’t know shit about sports, allowed to participate if he can’t engage this way?

Can’t see that being nearly enough.

The team I saw connected to Johnson was the Warriors.

Says the guy is calling people Cletus and gay when he wants another guy to suck his dick and tickle his nuts.

Oddly, the more distasteful posts are coming from a school teacher.

Harden, Maxey, Melton, Pat Bev…there hasn’t been minutes for him. When he’s gotten minutes he’s shown that his offense is a work in progress but that he’s already a plus NBA level defender both on ball and off ball. He needs time to develop his offensive upside.
