I forgot there’s a game on Sunday

Going to get away from that New Orleans food and get all skinny again.

Trading beignets for poutine

 

[shopson67]

Wait

Wtf?

Mark Williams is good. The fuck is Charlotte doing?

Why are all these GMs just giving us their good players?

I wonder if the Lakers will trade Kleber and a 2nd rounder for additional help.

Also, if they traded him in a straight salary dump, that would put the team under the 1st tax apron, allowing them to sign whatever buyout player they want. Currently, they aren't allowed to sign any bought out player who has a current salary over 12.8 mil

 

[shopson67]

And they opened up a roster spot too for a potential buy out

...and they still have a second to work with, as well as that Kleber contract that would get them under the first apron if dumped.

Does Bruce Brown get bought out? Schroder?

Pales in comparison to the Lakers game Saturday for me. Could (should?) be Luka and Mark making their debuts, now nationally televised.

Lost in all this trade news is the biggest story in the NBA right now

The Wizards have won 3 straight

The whole league just got put on notice

Since bottom four all have the same lottery odds for top 4 slots, they're safe.

Cant get Schroder because of the first apron sadly

Both he and Brown would be, would after need to dump Kleber with that 2nd to get under the first apron.

Chris Hayes saying the Pels might not be done and that Zion is a "hot commodity"

Interesting to see who has the matching assets to make this interesting.

 

[tlance]

I don’t know what Charlotte is doing. Mark Williams was really good

Good get for the Lakers in talent.

But he is also rated as one of the worst defensive bigs in the entire league and obviously has had a lot of injuries.

That has to change for this to work as the best big on a good team.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Mark fucking Williams????

Rob is going to get Exec of the year.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

The league conspiracy widens

Conspiracy? LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LFG!!!!

Nico Harrison had 3 clear options before he did what he did.

1) Don’t trade Luka

2) Let the rest of the nba know Luka is available

3) If you did only want to trade with the Lakers then how about you not take the first offer? Tell them to add the 2031 pick as well and shit throw dalton in there for good measure since he was available

I do not understand in the slightest how the Lakers only sent one first round pick their way.

Not going to complain of course.
