I don't know anything about Reed but seems like plumlee was attainable for the same price as Bamba. Possible goof there

D'Lo and Reaves are gonna be at a athletic disadvantage nightly. Lonnie gives the team an athletic boost but IDK.

Fixed.This is the way it works man.
Lebron hater:
Trade is good: Rob is awesome. Bron got out the way for once!
Trade is bad: LeGM did it AGAIN. I HATE KLUTCH. He just comes in and takes over!
They don’t even be hiding it

Plumlee been killing it but he's just stat padding in Charlotte. He can run offense similar to Marc Gasol without the shooting which is sort of appealing but can't shoot like Bamba.

Cleveland sitting pretty in the playoffs, is KLove rotting on the bench? I’ve heard this around the last few hours and I can’t see them buying out a rotation player.

Thought he was a decent defender

Not a guarantee but if he's getting healthy DNP i could see a change of scenery happening.

He can block shots, but I wouldn't say he's a good defender. But he can't be any worse than Bryant.

Damn. He was the only productive player on that mess for awhile, crazy.

Haven't watched him much & by all accounts he's never been better than average, BUT he's giving up 47% as the closest defender, compared to the 56% that Bryant was giving up. By sheer size & wingspan Bamba is a MUCH better interior defender given that Bryant was literally one of the worst in the league.
6Ft & closer to the basket Thomas was giving up 70% FG percentage to opponents, Bamba gives up 60%. In comparison here are the numbers of elite rim protectors
Gobert- 56%
Allen - 54%
Mobley - 58%
Lopez - 53%
Adams - 52%
Zubac - 56%
Embiid- 62%
Turner - 58%
So Bamba is essentially middle of the pack in rim protection, but we're upgrading from worst in the league.

If you extend Lonnie for his starting $9.4mil soon, they can move him come off-season.
Lonnie, Beasley, Bamba is $36mil with picks for trade.
And can still do so while retaining DLo and still having the MLE, ability to keep Rui as a RFA. Have Vanderbilt.
