2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

They’re starting Reaves at the 2 and Walker is going to come off the bench with Russ to blitz the **** out of other teams’ benches in open court?

 

if that's true, i'd assume at least bridges is on his way out, too, but to where. no way phx gets durant for ayton and picks. no way utah trades mitchell for ayton straight up.

mitchell to bkn makes a lot of sense, though.

edit: didn't know opj's wife was from toronto. that does change things. people forget porter has signed a big contract already, and that 3-4 million difference may not be worth it if your wife can be home (and you already have 60 in the bank). i get it.

 

You guys are jinxing all this Kyrie talk.

I guess I did, too. I said he's coming and book it.



I'm probably in the minority, but I wouldn't mind Hield depending on the pieces going out. He's better and younger than Gordon.

He's a high-volume shooter thet can actively space the floor and has the gravity to create space for others.

Similar to Green, you always had to have a defender stick with him. I think he'd be utilized very well under Ham. Defensively, he's a concern, but we need shooting badly with this roster.

 

yeah, the way people are talking is as if it's done. i agree it makes sense for both sides to work something out, but weird stuff happens all the time. i feel more confident about kyrie for russ and stuff than i did when we were in the paul george indy situation, though.

mostly because teams really don't want kyrie very much right now (for good reason, imo).

to get hield, we need to send out 19 million or so, right? i don't think i like what that would mean in terms of who had to go out.

gordon's gettable with THT/nunn i think, but it's not great. i think with our injury issues, we might need more bodies. houston better be giving me something nice on top of it, like a first rounder.

gordon's contract is non-guaranteed after next year, i think, so this would fit with what it seems like we're doing (clearing the books after this season).

 

If Houston gave us compensation, I'd probably be more inclined to do it.

Indiana would likely ask for a pick.

 

lotta scratch for garland. that's who we would have drafted had we not moved for AD.

wonder how the pels feel about trading that pick for jaxson hayes.

 

He went to Etiwanda High (Rancho area in Southern California, Inland Empire.)

He's 6'7" with a 6-11 wingsoan. Shot okay from three? Think 35 percent.

 

Rob is freakin lost. Last time he brought all these washed up dinosaurs, now... he did a 180. I don't have much faith in him, i'll admit...

 

Okay, I’ll stop putting those who excel at the highest level of their craft above those who don’t. That makes a ton of sense.
You can claim that guys like CP3 and Paul George are better than Kyrie, but that’s your OPINION, and it’s based on your preference. Those guys have never been a part of winning anything that matters.

 

He has to wait until the KD thing is done. Don't be surprised the Kyrie trade happens right after KD is dealt.

 

I think this is why Rob Overcorrection Pelinka went super young with the roster this year. With the hole he put himself in because of the Westbrick debacle plus the very real Laker Tax, I’m not that upset. He has very little to work with. Now, if he fumbles the Kyrie deal, he’s done.

 

Rob signed cheap and young because the Lakers are broke. Jerry West couldn't have done any better. Likely Rob is focused on the big trades at this point.

 

Charlotte may rescind their QO on Miles Bridges....

Dude is going to be in the doghouse for awhile, but man in a matter of weeks he went from a long term guy getting 100 million or so to someone who might have his 8 million QO pulled and becoming a FA.

Picked a horrible time to get into trouble (putting it mildly)...

 

Not bad and agree with most of this.
As for the PG position, this is what I have:
1. Curry
2. Luka
3. Ja
4. Kyrie
5. Lillard

He is still a top five player at is position, IN MY OPINION
