Trade Deadline: Feb 9 @ 3:00 p.m ET

Wait, the Lakers are purposely making rotation time for Gabriel??

 

[UKBlazer]

Eric and Torey are raging about it.

We traded for another guard who can't shoot while we need size

He's a 6'5 guard and a good-to-great defender.

He's even more averse to shooting than Hart though, and wont be a starter.

julius...what's with the avatar? is that supposed to be Tucker in the sheet?

Yeah, but that's kinda the problem. Look at all these dudes who are 6'6 or under.

Sharpe 6'6
Simons 6'3
Dame 6'2
Little 6'5
Winslow 6'6
Keon 6'5
GPII 6'3

It's kind of hilarious at this point.

 

[Kell]

Now let’s see Jalen Smith come here for Nasir

Who will start at the 3 then?

 

[calvin natt]

Nuggets getting Bryant is a steal. Perfect backup C. He’s been solid.

 

[DDolla]

Watch out West Teams, Dame finally got some help in Reddish and Thybulle

That would be fucking badass.

Don't post great ideas like this, it only sets us up for soul crushing disappointment.

I want to be abusive but I don't want to put Sly in a bad position. So that's my response to this and most of your posts.

We need to be bigger at the guard spots imo, so i'd say it's in improvement in that regard. We just have to be careful about having too many people who can't make a bucket on the floor at any one time!

We got bigger at the guard spots but we didn't get bigger/more mobile in the post. Still got problems but it would be unrealistic to think we could fix all of them, given how flawed the roster was/still is.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Interesting that so far out moves have been fairly low risk with Josh who we knew we were going to lose anyway and other players we acquired and/or picks. I will be curious if/when with who we currently have that we are willing to give up and who that is vs who we are shipping out. May give some insight on the direction they want to go with the team.

But we also can't seem to rebound.

Just tuned in. Toxic negativity. Deadline is still 2 yrs away.

Yes, it's Tucker Carlson. He's a POS.

 

[blazerkor]

I mean sure the 2025 deadline. I'm sure you meant hours. I really hope we add some athletic size in the post between now and then we really need it.

 

[Blazinaway]

LOL, was just coming here to post that - Smith having an off year in Indy and not playing much - fairly cheap contract so give him a shot for one of our 6'5 ish guys

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Who will start at the 3 then?

Canzano made a good point yesterday could be Sharpe and that’s why he’s skipping dunk contest

 

[illmatic99]

We got better today and have an asset we did not have earlier in the pick. I really dont understand all the doom and gloom.

 

[blazerkor]

While I agree with you, that might spark political shit in here that I don't want to read. I guess we'll see. Actually as a mod, if anyone says anything political about it you can just move that to the OT forum... that's kind of brilliant. You might even want to move this there.

He isn't a democrat....

 

[Chris Craig]

And Reddish is 6'5

Jeez what the hell.

 

[julius]

I kinda htink these trades (Matisse and Reddish) make it more likely that the team includes Winslow, Keon AND Little with Nurk (not all 3, just includes them as assets).

But who for, I dont know.

Oh, I'm not doom and gloom today. We got better, I do hope we can fix our issues in the post but I'm not holding my breath or going to rant if we can't.

John Collins fits salary wise but not sure i want him as our C

I didn't say anything political, I just said it was Tucker and he's a piece of shit. That's not political.

 

[riverman]

And Reddish is 6'5

Jeez what the hell.

Reddish is listed as over 6'7 and he's 23 years old.....Hart was 6'5 and 29 years old

 

[Shaboid]

What are the contracts for the new guys?

 

[Chris Craig]

We maybe got better. We didn't get taller.
