AD has gotten hurt 3 outta the last 4 seasons before January, Bron stay having bad luck or just old man injuries now.
They just aren't reliable throughout the season.

We’ve discussed this a million times, but lighten the load and demand on AD/Bron -> they will have a better chance of being healthy in April/May/June
When you start 2-10, stars have to rush back from injuries or play playoff level ball, just to make the playoffs. That takes a toll.

I've looked at the players slotted to make between $22-28M, but hard to construct a reasonable trade.
I think the more realistic option is to decline Bamba's option, and re-sign him for a lower amount. Then with Beasley either shop him (with or without #17 pick) or decline his option altogether.

With the new CBA, I think the lakers would prefer to keep the 17th pick.
I feel bad for Troy Brown Jr. He could play better than Lonnie & Dlo have in this series

This team next year as currently constructed w/ slight improvements is a top 4 seed in the west.There should be opportunities for load management since it shouldn’t be any 2-10 starts or you superstars playing balls to the wall to catch up.Don’t see how the window is closed,have you guys even seen the landscape of the west?
Denver

Sac
Are the biggest threats,everybody else is facing big question marks
Ja’s potential suspension
Kawhi’s knees are shot
Mavs suck
Can Zion & BI stay healthy?
Is GSW done?
Minny is unserious
Is OKC ready?

I’m hella interested to see the effort tonight.
It would not shock me at all if they rolled over. But coach Ham has had them playing hard all season. I want to see how hard they go tonight.

If AD and Bron play the amount of games together in the regular season they have been the last few seasons, no matter what the supporting cast is they'll be in the bottom/half play in area again.
This was an abnormally bad year overall for the West.

4 different lineups in 4 games.
Everyone knows that’s the key to success.

If he scores 0 and they win. Or scores 30 and they win.
Doesn’t matter.
I wouldn’t relegate him to 10 minutes though. Moving him to the second unit still requires trying as hard as possible to get him points. In the same way Denver does for everybody not named Aaron Gordon.
Either Dennis has to pick up the scoring slack or DLo does. Gotta give everybody in the rotation the chances to have some mark on the game.
The prospect of them winning 4 games is a pretty much perfect performance from everybody. And outside Rui, they haven’t gotten it from anybody. everybody has had faults. Need to tighten it up across the board.
