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

Knicks getting him would be great. Maybe, maybe KD can find his way to Miami then? Ayton leaves Phoenix. We snag Kyrie and weaken the Suns.

 

Brooklyn is posturing.

When KD requested the trade, he requested it through ownership.

There hasn't been any indication he wants to stay and work it out in Brooklyn and unless we get him on record saying otherwise, there's no concern on my part, yet.

The thing I'm waiting to see is if LBJ will use his contract as leverage to force a Kyrie trade if this deal isn't consummated when he's eligible for extension.

Get the popcorn.

 

Give Brooklyn Spida & 2-3 of those Jazz FRP via Memphis for KD. IDC. Just need kd to go so kyrie can be traded to la asap.

 

At this point, the sooner Lebron is a non-Laker the better it is for the Lakers. I'm pretty much done with that f***ing clown.

 

They could throw in bam/herro picks for spyda maybe 3 way trade sends spyda bk/KD mia

 

Hypothetical scenario here - If Lebron says he will agree to sign a 2 year extension only if the Kyrie trade goes through (or else he threatens to walk as a free agent in 2023)… do you do the deal then with 2 first round picks?

The thing about that is, Kyrie will likely sign a extension too and hopefully Rob will align AD/Lebron/Kyrie’s contracts to all come off the books in 2025.

I also wonder if the Nets would be amicable and we can somehow get both Royce O’Neal and Seth Curry while THT gets sent out to match salaries if we do agree to give up both picks. Royce is on a smaller contract than Joe Harris, but he’s a decent defender. We get more depth this way too… it makes it easier to digest giving up the 2 picks.


The downside to that is if AD/Lebron/Kyrie do all come off the books in 2025, that basically means the Lakers will most likely be in rebuild mode and be ridiculously bad (unless we manage to sign some big time free agents with that cap space in 2025). It will be the Max Christie era moving forward…. So there’s a good chance 2027 and 2029 picks be high lottery.

 

McMenamin is saying if Kyrie deal falls through Pacers are a potential trade partner. Other than Hield who else is interesting? Turner would be but do we really need 3 centers with AD on the roster? Would be redundant.

 

is this Irving trade to La legit or more clickbait?

 

stop doing things Lebron wants

 

That isn’t promising, Indy is the one who turned Pelinka in for tampering and cost the Lakers a half million dollar fine. There is no love loss between Pelinka and Pritchard, I feel that Indy would have to win any trade they make with the Lakers.

 

Hmm what to make of this?

this is the dumbest sh** ever

 

I keep up with the NBA pretty well, so I decided to try and make a 4-team trade where almost everyone is happy....

Use to you couldn't write and article without a named source in it. An unnamed source could be a 2nd (protected) in the article if need be....

Now, everyone doesn't care if the unnamed source (why can't the person be named???) is central to the headline or not...

 

Happy horse s*** is what I make of it. Click bait.

 

If the Turner deal is on the table we should just pull the trigger on it and be done with the Nets.

 

my belief is that all other moves are redundant if we dont do the Kyrie trade. That is the only trade on the table that can turn us back into contenders, and even so we need a lot of things to go right for that to happen like getting another 1-2 shooters, and everyone staying healthy.

Anything else is just treading water so that Turner/Hield trade is a waste of time, and the only thing that trade will save us is having to endure another painful season watching Russ.

 

a lot of credible reporters stated that Kyrie wants to play for the Lakers. New York news are trash. I rather hear it from a legit source
