2020-21 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

Lebron is the offense so when he sits , things go stagnant because there isn't a offensive system in place.

Of course it is also and partly a roster pb but there isn't a player available out there who will resolve this issue.

The Morris addition will help as he's better at creating shots for himself than the majority of the roster

Lebron will play 42+ minutes in the WCF/NBA Finals if we get there anyways.

As for the catch and shoot thing I strongly disagree , Green hasn't hit a shot in the playoffs for 3 seasons , KCP has little playoffs experience ... it's a huge weakness of ours , which is barely talked about.

 

then do waiters, at least hes on the better side of 30, Crawford been done 4 yrs now, hes a gleague ver of lou will the last 2yrs he managed to get with a team, PER between 10-11, at that rate you could probably get the same value/production out of the rookie tucker

 

Would prefer Lance. Vogel and Bron can get his best. Better perimeter defender, can create some, and shoots same percentage as Kuz.

Caruso
KCP
Lance
Kief
Dwight

Second unit for playoffs. Limiting Rondo and Kuz will be tough, but against Houston and Clips they are just too terrible on defense. Kuzma’s lack of rebounding has been apparent these last two weeks.

Not sure how Vogel gets to a 9 man rotation that includes Rondo and Kuzma. KCP, Kief and Dwight for sure. Then?? Lance can do what Kuz, Rondo, and Caruso do, to some extents. Crazy, but...

 

4 years? He did this less than 12 months ago


Tucker isn't NBA ready. Let's not kid ourselves.

Age isn't the issue with Waiters. Between the ears, it's frightening and could damage chemistry and the locker room. I'd rather sign someone 30 years older than a cancer.

 

I’ll be glad when this part of the season is over. Tired of parsing over a dump bin of players nobody wanted to try and pick the one least disliked, while at the same time trying to convince yourself they will make or break winning the championship. The bottom line is the Lakers are at a talent deficit against the Bucks and clips, and there is no one to add at this time to change that. The only way we win a championship is by the leadership of LeBron, the experience of our roster, and some luck in the right spots.

 

I agree that there isn't a player available who can solve that nor was the at the deadline. Our only shot was Rose until he said he didn't want to be traded.

BUT I think there are a couple guys available that can buy Bron some extra rest on the bench during these final 6 weeks and prevent leads from disappearing and he having to come back in when a should be blowout ended up being a close game because our bench can't hold on to a lead. That has value cause he'll have more in the tank in the playoffs.

30% career playoff 3 pt shooter and one of the worst defenders in the league in his prime, let alone today

He is cooked and a huge negative

Don't spread trash narratives off of watching 1 highlight game when the guy can chuck up as many shots as he likes on a bad team. He shot under 40% that season and 33% from 3 with awful defense, why don't you show those low lights?

I'll take Dion to replace Rondo or give the minutes to Cook and AC

 

you really using 1gm to guage Crawford abilities?

 

Did Crawford piss in yalls oatmeal? Kill your dog? Or F your mom or sister?

I genuinely don't get the aggressive disdain from a few here.

And @nzahir trash narrative? That's rather extreme. By posting numbers of someone's last game they played only 11 months ago? I'm not manipulating facts. I'm not even a Crawford truther. I hate Waiters and JR for this team. I'd rather give that spot back to Boogie just so Bron can sit next to him on the bench and he can travel with the team.

The March 1st buyout market was weak. China keeping possible options over there due to concerns over spreading the virus makes the pool even weaker. If there's a guy available, there's a reason. We're not going to get someone without serious blemishes. Hell, we're looking at two guys who haven't played or were banished from their team, just for reference sake.

Just for the sake of facts... Crawford's last 4 games played:
51 points, 60% fg, 54% 3pt fg
27 points, 53% fg, 50% 3pt fg
28 points, 43%, 44%
19 points, 70%, 50%

He is still microwavable offense. Sure he can't play D, but having rim protectors will help. We have current rotationers who don't play D (Rondo) and we have current rotationers who can't shoot 3s (Caruso).

It's March, if you think Rondo's minutes are getting replaced by anyone, you're clearing telling yourself that to sleep at night.

If we were going to give minutes to players already on the roster, they would've done that by now and we wouldn't be auditioning guards.

 

No, I'm using the most recent game he's played. Not as though I'm referencing his 22 point game that January or some random game to make a point... this is literally the last NBA game he played. Players who have been done for 4 years don't do that 11 months ago.

I'm not looking for a starter. I'm looking for a 12 minute a game scorer for the next 6 weeks.

 

1 or 4 gm doesn't reflect his abilities overall...Caruso 25gm or whatever stretch of blistering shooting he had to end last season clearly didn't translate to this season...there's not much of difference between the current candidates for this last roster spot they're all washed one way or another

 

I gave you a guys whole career of playoff and reg season numbers and you want me to use 1 or 4 games when he was on the suns?

Rondo's min will get reduced at a minimum in the playoffs due to AC getting more time and Lebron playing more

Vogel knows AC is much better

Cook likely wont get the time he should, but he is better than Rondo is

You think we are bringing Dion here to knock out DG or KCP lol? They are here to take minutes away from Rondo and even Kuzma

 

Two years ago today, J.R. Smith got suspended for throwing a bowl of soup at Cavs assistant Damon Jones
So big f***ing Nooooo to J.R

 

All these guys are the equivalent of a turd sandwich.

 

Is Allen Crabbe that bad now?

 

I was curious too. It seems like an injury plague with him.

Date Description
02/23/2020 Personal
01/25/2020 Left Knee
01/18/2020 Illness
12/02/2019 Right Knee
10/23/2019 Knee
03/15/2019 Knee
12/13/2018 Knee
10/11/2018 Ankle
04/03/2018 Illness
03/15/2018 Illness
12/15/2017 Sore Left Knee
11/26/2017 Sore Lower Back


My guess is that he's just too injury prone to rely on. Considering the majority of his most recent injuries involve his knee, it's probably the culprit.

 

Yeah, he did my mom. She is over 95 years old and he totally did her disgusting.

But I would take him still, she did, so I can too!!!

 

So, when we signing Dion? Lol.
