A loss is a loss but that bodes well for us.

JJames and AD are laying lights out right now.

Refusing to come out in the 4th, then being unable to close out the game because they were spent was a bad sequence. You can tell when Lebron is tired; he holds the ball and takes bad threes. As soon as he started that about mid-4th, I knew that lead was in trouble.

If he wants to stay on the floor and rest some possessions, give up the ball to a teammate and let them initiate the offense. Or, come out when the coach subs for you lol.

Trade Nunn, Bev and a few 2nd rounders to Indy for Hield. Nobody beating down their door for him.

They can buy out or waive Bev and use Nunn.....helps their free fall. They get some draft picks....

 

[DJ]

Mathurin needs to start on the reg!!!! The Pacers need to trade Hield!!!!!

Just thinking what's best for them Pacers!!!!

LOL.

 

[DJ]

The Lakers whipped the Nuggets asses!!!!

 

[DJ]

AD hurt but Bryant, Reaves and Schroder stepped up big time.

Lakers bench was on fire last night while Denver's sucked.

Somebody in the NBA threads said we have the worst bench in the League.

I think the lakers beat writer also might’ve said it lol

 

[The Q]

The lakers need to add like an Eric Gordon (or hield) and a wing

Yo can get the former with just the nunn and and bev deals

Trading Russ with the other first and Christie and maybe some 2s…still not sure what you’re getting.

Most available guy would probably be hayward, and he’s a really fun fit when healthy. But that has risks.

The only other teams that might be tanking and have a big wing to deal would be wash with Barton (but that requires adding extra contracts from wash) or Josh Richardson form SA (which would not, in theory)

Finding a match isn’t perfect

 

[DJ]

Still putting in work.

"James, who turns 38 later this month, became the oldest player since Michael Jordan in 2002 to score 30 or more in three straight games, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information research."

If AD misses time......Bryant is the big we need to step up.

A Kuzma trade may be in the works. Nunn, Beverley, and a Second to the Wiz for Kuzma. Kuzma and Walker along with AD and Reaves and that is dynamite young team.

 

[DJ]

AD out at least a month with a broken foot.

Could be longer.

The Wizards can get more than that for Kuz.

 

[The Q]

The reality is you guys are still better off buying now considering how weak the fa market is

Your future cap space isn’t worth much unless you’re getting kyrie

But then you have zero depth anyway

 

[DJ]

Another win.....11-6 after starting 2-10.

5 starters were in double digits and Bryant had 16 and 10 to partially offset what AD gave us.

 

[DJ]

Made 41% of our treys.

 

[DJ]

Christie has had a couple good games in a row now off the bench.

Christie has had a couple good games in a row now off the bench.

He was a good pick.

I had a first round grade on him.
