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

Absolute great trade. I was just at the Lebron game yesterday and now this. I must be dreaming or something. This trade is great for the following reasons:

1. Dlo is a good three-point shooter and Beasley is a great three-point shooter.

2. Dlo is a legit third scorer

3. Dlo not a ball dominant PG. Great fit with LBJ.

4. Vanderbilt is not necessary, but ads value.

5. We only give up one first round pick.

6. The pick is top 4 protected.

7. We get rid of Jones.

8. We open up a roster spot.

9. We get bird-rights on the players we got. We have options. Could be re-signed or uses in a sign and trade.

 

Dlo is 6-4, he could play power forward for this team.

 

Wow we just got a new core, Rui, Jarred, Malik & D-Lo, we got Reaves back soon, still got Walker, Schroder, Brown, TB, Gabriel, Max...

Our bench loses nothing with Russ gone. We exited the cursed Westbrook, 1 below mediocre player and 2 garbage players, all of which were getting minutes from Ham.

 

I got 2x high after reading this trade news.

 

Vanderbilt is better than people think. This could work out insanely well.

 

1. SF LeBron James
2. C Anthony Davis
3. PG D'Angelo Russell - 6'4 (27)....17.9 ppg/6.2 apg/.465/.856/.391 on 2.7 makes per game
4. PF Rui Hachimura- 6'8 (25)...12.8 ppg
5. SG Malik Beasley- 6'4 (26)..13.4ppg/.841 FT/.359 on 3.1 makes per game
6. SG Austin Reaves
7. PF Jarred Vanderbilt- 6'9 (23)...8.3/7.9/2.7
8. C Thomas Bryant
9. PG Dennis Schroder
10. SF Troy Brown Jr.
11. PF Wenyen Gabriel
12. SG Max Christie

If he somehow can turn Beverly/Walker into a 3 and D tomorrow or another shooter this team would look pretty damn good...

 

I’m really not familiar with his game, but the way general NBA fans have talked about him, I think we’re in for a treat. Feels like he was perceived to have the highest value of all the players we just acquired.

Read some comments here earlier today acting like this move didn’t make sense because Vanderbilt was basically just Gabriel, but I think we’re going to find out that Vanderbilt is on another level

 

I think bevs is a lot more valuable with Dlo than Schroeder right now. He also played well with D.lo in Minnesota last year. So you got to still get rid of one of even both of these to protect yourself which is very sad

 

If there's another trade, I want to keep Brown. I feel like he's gives a bleep.

 

get in here @trodgers

 

Bev has the tradeable salary however

 

That’s my thought. Not sure we move Bev too

 

he still can do the all pg lineup, since dlo is similar in height to russ n denis/bev still here...Beasley maybe happy, doesn't Larsa Pippen live in la?
