OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JUNE 2024

[Rastapopoulos]

I'd trade Billups for Monty.

Would Ayton like this, though?

 

[julius]

Pass,..it's his toxic relationship with DeAndre that lead him to be traded here. Doubt that'd go over well here.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

that is the main selling point then we can get rid of Ayton -- maybe ship him to the Pistons and the Pistons might want to bring Billups too -- LOL

Billups and Ayton for Monty, Duren, and 5. Done and done!

I don't much care for Duren, so:



Isaiah Stewart would be our baddest motherfucker since Maurice Lucas.

There's a school of thought where Ayton is traded, in which case it wouldn't matter.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I do not dislike Ayton but I think he has little to no heart and only cares about what HE can get and this is why i said he was gone once his contract is up on another thread. The Blazers might not come out and say it but MY belief is that they are already looking to get off him IF they can . Even if the rumor of they are looking to trade up to get the other center is BS I think that is telling us even they are at best tepid on Ayton as the future center and this is what we should take from that rumor.

 

[B-Roy]

Does DeAndre Ayton have any value? Really?

[Tony Allen] “Westbrook was so predictable. When the play was for somebody else, he wouldn’t give it his all. When the play was for him, you could tell…he going 100 miles per hour and pushing the ball.”

Thunder supposedly chatting with Bulls about a Patrick Williams trade. He's on a 13m expiring contract. Gordon Hayward might need a new team to sign with.

I saw today that Denver might be interested in Hayward. I wonder if they might shop Porter jr around to see what his value is?

At $35M, with his injury history and 17/7 production, that might be a tough contract to move.

Danny Hurley about to become Lakers head coach

That's a solid hire.

It’s aiight

‘What happened with your last two coaches?’

‘oh them? Don’t worry about them. Let’s talk about the future!’

Danny Hurley about to become Lakers head coach

Because hiring a notoriously disciplinarian coach for a team headlined by a 39-year-old notorious coach-killer is a GREAT idea

Boy, JJ Redick has got to feel catfished.

Good news: maybe his ex-assistant coach will be free to be our new coach?

?

That was my first thought. I guess he could adapt but it could be a rocky first year.

 

[Samuel]

Boy, JJ Redick has got to feel catfished.

I’m guessing he walked away. Redick is too young and has too much career ahead of him to go to a coach-killing franchise like LA. The Phil/Pat administrations were eons ago at this point.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Boy, JJ Redick has got to feel catfished.

 

[kjironman1]

Ha Ha Ha! Too funny.

Money talks and bullshit walks.

He's not on a contract anymore. He's a RFA.

 

[Whyachi]

He's not on a contract anymore. He's a RFA.

that's what i thought, Hayward needs a new home. Escpecially if OKC lands P-Will

 

[Driew]

Some good advice from Tatum on expectations as a young player like Scoot.

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[Pinwheel1]

If Utah wanted to move him they would get a lot more from another team than the Lakers. (i.e OKC)

Hard to argue that Markannen wouldn't be a good fit with the Lakers. Reaves (and salary flotsam), the 17th pick, 29 1st unprotected, 31 unprotected, and intervening swaps. While OKC could beat it (unprotected future Lakers picks are likely more valuable at this juncture than OKC's), I am not sure they'd want to... regardless, I'm not sure he is available, and Danny Ainge would try to fleece them if he was.
