I agree Shopson. DRuss is way better and younger. Hield is on the downside of his career. DRuss is getting better. We don't need to make a trade for anyone. We have a very good roster now and we can def contend for the O'Brien trophy!!
I agree

No need for any more trades. We don’t need Caruso or DeRozen, or LaVine, or any other rumored player.

Guys are getting healthy so that Ham can figure out his rotations. The defense will improve even more once Vincent is back, to go along with Vanderbilt and Reddish.

I can still see moving DLO, just not for Hield. Lakers would need a PG in return, preferably one that can defend. Depends on how the next few months go and what the team wants to do with/for DLO moving forward with only a player option remaining beyond this season.

Russell is very quietly having a good season.

16.6ppg, 6.3apg and 3rpg while shooting 48.3% and 40.5% on 3's.

But, I would trade him, Hach, a 1st and a few 2nd rounders for a really good #3 option.

Lost to Dallas without Irving?

Fucking Exum had 26 and hit a 3 to win it at the buzzer.

Not at the buzzer, but late in the 4th sure. Lakers refused to guard 3 pt shooters all night long and they missed what seemed like at least a dozen layups/bunnies.

They collectively took the game off. Lazy-ass bastards

Last night's game would've been a double digit victory had they put Rui and Reddish (or at least Christie) in earlier in the 4th for Wood and DLo. Ham tried to ride out that shrinking lead without subbing (other than AD), almost gave away the game.

Deficit is down to 7 at the half.

Bron has 18 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds. The most assists he has ever had in a half of basketball.

Hach is inconsistent though....he will have a 18-20 point game followed by a game of 6-8 points....
His minutes also fluctuate too.

It’s not like Ham plays him the same minutes every game, so you can expect him to get 18-20 when he plays 11-15 mins vs 25+

He just is not that good IMO but he and several others are on tradeable contracts.
