something about them not being able to offer 120% of his previous salary since he had signed for the mid level.
Oof, no don’t do that trade then lol
how long are we gonna celebrateaddict4sneakers ' birthday?
You’re looking for the turkey plug while I found the fountain of youth
Late to the conversation but if Atlanta is smart, they would pitch Trae to SA and ask for their picks back. I've seen several places that the reason why Brooklyn won't do a hard reset is bc they don't have any of their own picks until 2028; SA owns Atl's for the next 3 years, all unprotected. Get back your picks for Trae and tank for the next couple years is a better idea to me than to try to make it work with Trae when everybody knows it's just not working out. But I doubt Atlanta even entertains this, they're gonna end up in a Bradley Beal situation.
I like Trae a lot, he's very disrespected, but he's not a No. 1 option. I think pairing him with Wemby would be great for the sport. They would work very well with each other, and again, I don't think SA has to give up anything besides giving Atlanta their picks back.
They aren’t giving Atlanta those picks back. Too valuable. Gonna have to settle for something else.
The problem is that even if Bron wasn’t there, how much of DLo’s career has shown that him being your primary facilitator will lead to winning basketball?He’d be great after Bron retires and he gets to run the show. So from that perspective, sure.
But until then, when it’s time to win a title, it’s going to be the Bron show and D’Lo will struggle if you ask him to play like a traditional, true 2 guard. Watching somebody else on the ball going to work consistently.
That Brooklyn game was a perfect example of that. 2nd half looked like the Denver series all over again.
Something to keep in mind if they trade for Dejounte. He’s also not somebody who is going to perform well playing Bron Ball
This is also a fair point. He’s not dynamic enough to primarily run the show for a title team
I haven’t watched the Hawks at all. Is Dejounte that much of an upgrade specifically for the Lakers? Is Lebron going to let him do his thing? When the playoffs comes around I don’t see Lebron getting off ball.
This feels like desperation.
Also insanity how the Lakers view Reaves. Seems like the league views him similarly.
White privilege is REAL
Ok if Reaves ain’t as good as many think he is then where are these so called better moves …. Who gonna trade you a better piece than Murray for whatever “assets” you have
Then I feel bad for Trae then bc if BKN ain't moving Mikal bc they don't own their own picks then I know dam well the Hawks finna do the same. Again, another Beal situation where by the time they move on, they're gonna get back low value.
