    it's interesting how these things develop differently across the world

    it can feel silly, but if you do it wrong, you could regret it forever. Too many rules for me. I'd be stuck with running an online business only haha.

    I am not a fan of trading multiple picks for a mediocre center like Kessler, but if such a trade is executed, it would give us some incentive if we could unload a roster spot. Example: JHS, Wood, protection removed from pick, and another protected 1st for Kessler. At least, we could then sign Olveri with that roster spot.

    @Pioneer10 thanks for the clarification.

    I still think they target Kuzma, IMO.

    ***Provided*** nobody else of impact comes forth on the trade market.

    We shall see.

    Rob has a valid excuse though: “It’s just so difficult now to do my job!”

    Damn .... it takes them "weeks" since the announcement and still not cleared? I wonder what the actual process is and why so slow.

    Despite the green light from Koloko's own doctors and Lakers doctors, the former Toronto Raptors center has yet to be granted permission to return to the NBA by the league's Fitness-to-Play panel of doctors.
    Bureaucrats..

    Again .... DAMN!! Would have been nice to have had him in camp and able to get a look at in the pre-season games. Now he'll be weeks behind playing catch up whenever they finally get off their a**es to give the approval.

    He looked pretty far from NBA level. Just not able to compete with the switching and the pace of the game. He's also a 4 and we have a lot of them already

    guessing it's both insurance and optics...i mean...in addition to the obvious responsibility for the health of your employees, of course...

    no, really, though--i'm glad the league errs on the side of caution with blood clots. don't die for a game.
