The Official NBA Season Thread: USA Setting Up for a SFA

[dacomeup]

Regarding specifically Siakam:

Not give up Mathurin or Walker

Kings= don't give up Murray

If you can get him with other pieces you do it... I said the same thing a few posts ago regarding what the Kings fit with Siakam

What I want them (Indy and Sac) to do is to keep on doing what they've been doing, it's working. Both are building pretty decently, ironically they traded with each other... don't force a trade

Are Mathurin and Walker the same level of prospects at Murray?

Never thought he was funny

[Mister Meaner]

Between Knicks fans & the Cowboys, kid fwiw has had it ruff. Look at the struggle in that smile and the emptiness in his eyes.

Are Mathurin and Walker the same level of prospects at Murray?

Who knows? But is it a stretch to say yes, I don’t think so

On the flip side is siakam taking them to even a conference finals… And you’re gonna pay him a max …

Again if you get him without dumping your lottery picks, sure

Nahhh this gotta be cap. He a NBA player playing in college. Bro is literally a Laker that decided to get an education first.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Bron said his son could be a Laker right now and bronny has missed his last 14 shots.

DISSENSION created

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Already seen this brewing for bronny, nasty world

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

What his stats looking like out there

 

[addict4sneakers]

Martin Luther the king day. Games at 12

This sixers line seems like embiid is back at -7.5 hmmm

I rather him sit this one and play tomorrow vs nuggets

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Grayson Allen had 20 on 6 shot attempts .. got Damb

Scoot got off 31 shots? Christ

Think I made my feelings about LaVine clear over the years, but he's the perfect guard to fit around AD and Bron. But I understand not wanting to carry a third max contract on the roster, especially with the years remaining and his injury history.

 

[B Sox]

LaVine showed glimpses of what he COULD be as more of a role guy on Team USA when he was behind KD/Tatum/Jrue in the pecking order. Was hitting open 3s and actually trying on defense.

Would think if there’s anybody else that could kind of force him into that it would be Bron and AD, but who knows.

If they can turn Reaves and pieces into either Murray and Bogdan or Lavine/DeRozan and Caruso you gotta do it

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

If the Bulls are actively giving him away (which it seems like they are), it'd be stupid considering the Lakers situation to not even try (which I think they are it's all a smokescreen to get/give value).

I understand the ramifications in the new CBA and remember the last year and a half of Rust, but that ain't this. Lavine is a completely different player who fits like a glove.


Their are better trades out there but with DLo and AR value dropping it seems pretty simple to me.

 

[pmatic]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Reaves is still a good value on his contract. He just gave hope that he'd well outperform it

He is still either a starter level or very good bench player, either way rotation player on a Playoff team

No point in the Bulls keeping Lavine on his contract, I don't think many teams are fighting over to acquire him. No brainer for Chicago if Reaves is on the table

Ratsull is expiring next year....

 

[pmatic]

Embiid will never hear the end of the ducking allegations if he plays tonight and rests tomorrow. Dumb scheduling by the league.

 

[frshstunna]

Already seen this brewing for bronny, nasty world

Hope they can just let yo develop for a couple years instead of forcing him to the league…Never thought he was a one n done type, and he’s gon need a lil extra time after being out for a while

 

[ballinsam23]

Feel like the Lakers need to maximize w.e years they have left with AD and Lebron. Just make the Lavine trade.

Figure it out after Bron retires.
