"The flagrant 2 called on Carmelo Anthony on Sunday stands as called," a league spokesman said on Wednesday. "We reviewed it, the same as we review all plays of this nature, and agree with the on-court officials that the foul met the criteria of hard contact above the shoulders with high potential for injury. While attempting to draw a foul, Anthony extended his elbow into his opponent's face, which is dangerous and reckless in nature."

Celtics have been great. Won 10 in a row now after getting beaten in the first two. They could win the East and I will not be surprised if they make a big trade before the end of season.

Now thinking about that they don't really have a way to match salaries of any of the top players.
 
Marjanovich is what we all hope Meyers Leonard can become in a few years.

Yes I look forward to revisiting that trade thread after the draft and IT actually plays, but as I said at the time "Boston easily got the best player in the trade, so they got the better deal". Surprised so many disagreed.
 
I wonder if MIL makes Jabari Parker available. He might come back around all star break, and his value is probably as low as it will ever get after his second ACL. I (and others) were writing him off last year after he went down again, but he could be a great buy low candidate.

I'd give em Zach and take on a bad contract.

A (healthy) Parker is exactly what we need. Scoring forward who can handle and shoot. He'd look good next to Noah.

I love Zach's potential but I would do this too (provided Parker's knee checked out in physical) but MIL has no bad contracts. I love that team and am starting to hate that team.

I think they'd want to get rid of Delly or Henson.
 
Adrian Wojnarowski on ESPN:
One player whose future is very unlikely to continue with the Lakers is Julius Randle.

should the Blazers be all over it

We should merge teams with Pelicans. Our frontcourt is not good enough, their backcourt is awful. Have Lillard and CJ in the backcourt with Davis and Cousins in the frontcourt = domination even if you have to make compromises at SF.

I had exactly the same thought - including that we STILL wouldn't have a decent SF.

Irving has been a revelation in Boston. What's most amazing is how good their defense is - they traded their good defenders and got BETTER. Danny Ainge's best decision will always be hiring Brad Stevens.

I really like Randle. He's on the verge of breaking out, but they're totally handcuffing him in LA, and he seemingly isn't a part of their future because of his caphold. I'll even take on Deng as a salary dump if they were willing to take on Meyers' contract.

Deng + Randle for Meyers + Ed + Layman works. This would essentially open up 20 mil of capspace this summer for them.

If Randle is on the verge of breaking out why would the Lakers accept a bunch of mediocre players back? Then again, Are Meyers and Layman even considered mediocre?

Acquiring KG and Ray Ray worked out pretty well for him.

Don't make any difference. That trade has bad KARMA written all over it. Something will happen to that team in the end.

I'm telling you...... BAD JU JU all over the place. Ainge will pay in the end.

Fuck no. Yeah, let's help the Lakers land LeBron James and get rewarded for it with Julius Randle...
