    Is that this years pick? The team leading the west, so a 25-30 range first?

    His value to this team is more than that in my opinion.

    Ahh okay. I’m with ya then. I highly doubt the team is anything like it is now with the huge payroll they have and aging stars. Likely in a complete rebuild like us by that time and in the lottery. I would make that trade for that pick and salary filler.

    Watched the Pels play last night. People better take that team seriously. Zion looks great and CJ is playing as well as I have ever seen with reduced minutes. They have him down to like 32 mins a game. Even free throws are back close to 80%.

    I might need to eat crow on Zion. I really thought he would be out of the league in another year or two. He seems to have turned things around.

    Looks to me like he has lost a bunch of weight. He's tearing it up right now!

    I didn’t think he could do it. I felt strongly his path was going to the route of Oliver Miller/Swanigan.

    But with a guy like Balmer calling the shots, you never know. He can just pay the next round of high powered FA's to come to LAC. They may not have to rebuild the old fashioned way.

    NOP and LAC in the WCF? Bet on it.

    I'd trade them anything to get Baby Sabonis to Portland, where he rightfully belongs.

    KP held on way too long. All he got was seconds. This is my fear if we hold on to Malcolm.

    I mean, guys, it makes PERFECT sense that everyone else is making trades and we're standing pat, because they're all flawed and we're perfect already.

    Some trades make sense, and then there are others...



    Why would the seemingly-tanking Raptors give up a first for Olynyk?
