Time to pick up an AR jersey.
Now that he is locked it will be viable for at least 2 years (we all know things might change after 2 years).

Powell back to the Mavs.
He always gives us fits. Would have been nice.

i don’t think Ham is going to start Hayes but it would be a similar identity to the 2020 team w/ McGee if he does.

I’m assuming at some point in the last week Ham sat down with Rob
And it went something like this
Rob: alright it’s time to think about the off-season. What are you thinking Darvin?
Ham: Dennis
Rob: yeah it’s a possibility. What role are you thinking?
Ham: Starting
Rob: I don’t think that’s the direction we’re going, but he may come back in a similar role as he had last year.
Ham: Alright. So we’re giving him $20mil
Rob: No. maybe part of the MLE. Like $5mil
Ham: can we pay him under the table?
Rob: No.
Ham: How about part ownership?
Rob: Alright, we’re not bringing him back.
Ham: Can he be a coach?

If we would have paid Russ 4 mil a season from the start we would have been in a great position.

even if you had for him cheap his fit with LeBron is just so bad
I know you could use him as the off-the-bench playmaker but I still feel like Westbrook Ball (when he dominates your offense) is not something you'd want in a contender. It works when the roster is left with spare parts and he can still put up serious numbers keeping you in it but the more nuanced things of team winning ball I don't think he's ever gotten a handle for yet.

Successful offseason in 2 days, yeah?
Say it now because I don't want to hear nobody if we have a rough start or even a mediocre start and people are like "See, this is why I said blah, blah, blah months ago."(looking at you, C CP1708 )
Say it now, not later (still looking at you).
You good or you hate it?
I love it.
Rob has done much better since the deadline.
The roster is deeper, with plenty of tradeable pieces. No real overpays (maybe Vincent)
But........
Everything. And I do mean everything, is reliant on a 40 year old man and a brittle second star.
If they play 65-70 games each, we could have a decent season standings wise and hopefully not be a damn play-in team. Get a full week off before the playoffs.
I hope they add Beasley back because a sniper could be useful for those hot streak stretches. Then if/when he goes cold you simply sit him.
If someone wants out in Jan......a Giannis, or an Embiid, or Luka, etc, we have enough parts to be involved even if it's just to drive up the price on someone else. (Or if only Dame had interest in us now....)
We are fairly young tho outside of the two main guys, I like that for 6-7 months. Hopefully helps a lot.
Certainly better than Russ, Bev etc last year. But not sure we're a Top 2-3 team out West just yet. 4-5-6 possible tho. Health willing.

Russ was still getting benched in the 4th with the clippers and his stats were mostly the same. He didn't really play better until PG got hurt

Should be top three in the regular season, if moderately healthy. Go toe to toe with Denver again in the WCFs.

I think the Lakers are very clearly in the top 3 in the west with PHX and DEN.
Mem, GS, Sac, LAC 4-7
Min, okc, Dal, NOLA in the next tier

Only thing I see there is buddy Hield and Pelinkas love for him. Say mid season D’lo min decrease bc Vincent and Reaves killing it and jhs is better than expected and team lacks shooting. I can see that as a very very remote chance but even then. Impossible to predict who is available at that time
Hopefully not.
