Team hasnt yet announced Melo or Giles. Guessing one more transaction might be in thw works.

kanter deal also not yet announced, which happens when you have multiple teams involved. this may play into the Melo and Giles situations.

oh then maybe it came across before the moratorium. Too much going on to keep tracking it all. I only work 70 hours/week so I don’t keep up on everything.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I don’t remember breakfast, let alone two days ago. Why could Kanter deal be announced as official but not RoCo? Draft picks?

I think it had to do with the fact that Ariza was bring redirected multiple places with S&T's involved.

Kind of odd. The guy isn't anything special, but I find it hard to believe nobody offered a multi-year deal.

Because of limited Cap Space, a lot of players signe 1-year deals or 2-year deals where the 2nd is a player option. Next year, more teams are expected to have cap space so more money to be spent on players.

S'all good. We are all just speculating.

no. Some folks here know everything.

(wasn’t talking about this particular exchange.)

I missed that announcement from the home team, tho.

Can you tell me why do we need to play? Why not save money and just give the Lakers another trophy.

I don't think a McGee for Gasol exchange is all that beneficial to LA. Nor the Bradley for Matthews exchange.

The Schroeder for Danny Green one ya, and the Harrell addition will help em. But they're not gonna be totally unbeatable in my estimation.

I see you and HCP have been spending time together.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Lakers finally sign their 2007 second round pick

 

[Rastapopoulos]

That's a great pickup for the Raptors. I already liked Baynes when he was just a bruiser but now he can shoot threes.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Gasol is beyond washed up.

BS teams helping Lakers -- more rigged than the 2020 election

The Lakers are not even on the same level as the KD-Warriors and LeBron is only getting older on a shortened off-season.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Gasol is beyond washed up.

Shot sub 40% in 20 mpg for the Raptors in the playoffs.

 

[B-Roy]

Hassan is going to have to take the minimum, isn’t he,

I'm not so sure about that. People just remember that Green missed a bunch of threes in the playoffs, but he was also an amazing +8 in on only 25mpg, and he's a far better defender than Schröder.

I also think Harrell is trash, and switching Dwight Howard for him is going to make Jokic very happy.

Schroder with CP next to him was disciplined and lethal in the playoffs. Should be similar next to Bron. Think their team defense will more than make up for whatever deficiencies he has on that end.

Harrell opens up things they didn't have before though as a P&R threat. But ya, losing Howard might hurt their D.

Surprisingly, I think losing Rondo might hurt them more than we think in the playoffs.

 

[TBpup]

Good for the former Duck!!

 

[B-Roy]

Running out of options for Hassan...

 

[Scalma]

Reggie Jackson would actually fit this offense. We were the most pick and roll heavy team in the league and Jackson was top 20 last season in P&R freq, so he has plenty of experience in those situations. His points per possession was tied with Conley and DeAngelo Russell, two plus P&R ballhandlers. The other two free agents that graded out pretty well were Barea and..Napier.

Also Jackson hates Westbrook. That’s a bonus in my eyes.

 

[Hoopguru]

He just waiting to decide where he wants to chase a ring.
