Listening to Woj talk about the Knicks on the jump with all these deep breaths he is taking, sounds like he is so over the any Knick related.
I mean most people are. I liked the eddy curry and marbury era of the knicks where no one cared about them and let them rot in peace.
 
KCP and Caruso for Morris?

:rofl:
Yes, if....
1. Pelinka already knows Collison is coming. Hence why he rejected Rose for Caruso. Doing this, also drives up Caruso's trade value.
2. Knowing Collison is signing with Lakers, Pelinka then uses Caruso to get his man Morris.

3. Essentially, Lakers sacrifice a young asset and sacrifice a shooter to get Morris and Collison.

**if NY will take Rondo, I'd replace Caruso with Rondo and ship KCP and Rondo instead
 
kcp is our best shooter and caruso our dirty hustle guy off the bench.

thats hustling backwards and ****ing up chemistry

let the clippers get more new guys and let them **** up their already shaky chemistry due to koala and george hardly playing together
I can see this side of the coin as well.

But here's what I'm thinking....

Cook and Daniels are supposedly 3pt shooters deluxe. But they been riding the pine all year thus affecting their efficiency and percentages due to lack of continuity.

But there's gotta be a reason we signed them right? Other than use them as trade bait, but who wants them?

Imo, Cook and Daniel's are here for insurance just in case we have to let a dude like KCP go in order to improve the squad in positions we're lacking, like backup SF.

So Rob rejected a trade for a guy y’all need and been rumored to trade for? Make it make sense

If Collison, a PG and playmaker, has already told Bron he's coming, then no need for Rose, who plays the same position as Collison.

Caruso is then moved in order for LAL to fill their other dire need - wing defender 3&D specialist
 
As much as Lakers fans love him, I can see this happening especially if Pelinka has decided to keep Kuz.

Caruso is the only other true asset the Lakers have to trade if they want to improve their wing depth.

I'm not for or against the Morris acquisition, but Boogie, Kuzma and Bradley works financially (or Boogie, Kuzma, Cook and Daniels).

I wouldn't fret over THT.

I'm against this, this is a lateral move at best & it could weaken our team next year also. Morris is basically a little more consistent Kuzma, & he's a real black hole. He is a clear upgrade on defense but he ain't exactly a stopper.

and again considering our lack of young talent and assets going forward i'm not willing to throw in THT.

We've seen this story too may times of Laker picks being shipped out and becoming really good young pieces.

When it's to get Lebron or AD, sure **** them kids. when it's thrown in for one year rentals of aging role players, Nah i'm done with that.
 
i just wanna make sure i'm clear on what's happening here.

am i being told that the lakers rejected a trade sending alex caruso and a 2nd round pick for derrick rose because they think darren collison, who retired from the nba to become a latter day saint, is going to come in and seamlessly fill their void at point guard? and then because they think they can use alex caruso to get a quality wing player?

cook and daniels couldnt guard a **** if they were both cups
 
Dolan won’t do bizz with the Clips due to the litigation they going thru for the Inglewood lot

I hope....

I completely forgot about that, if there was one owner who would let his personal gripes interfere with his basketball team it would be Dolan :lol:
 
I haven’t seen caruso hit a shot in weeks
bruh i was in the building last season when alex iverson dropped 32 points on the clippers

had 10 boards and 5 assists as well

no bron
no zo
no kuz
no ingram

Would you trade KCP and Caruso for Morris if Collison already told Pelinka he's coming?

Lakers trade for Morris, sign Collison in 2 weeks, and still manage to keep Kuzma whose rebounding and defense have improved dramatically the last 2 games.

Maybe there's a competitive purpose to the delay of Collison's announcement til after the trade deadline. Kinda like the game Kawhi played with his announcement so it hampers your competitor.

Oh yeah, Lakers are scheming for sure lol


I guess....... but again i'm not big on Morris at all and KCP has been our third most consistent starter and has been playing his role perfectly. Caruso is also a good fit for this team and does great defending guards
 
also we not getting morris unless they give up kuzma. the other guys are to just match salary
 
I like Caruso lol
His bald *** head gonna make some big plays on defense in the playoffs :lol
 
how does a montrezz for morris work? salary wise?

didnt the clippers trade deandre to the knicks last season?
