    On another note, I’m trying to think of the last time I refreshed pages this much or kept checking ESPN or Twitter for trade updates

    this is the magic of having an all-time great star that is also marketable. AD wasn’t that guy.

    Sounds kind of perfect to be honest if we could now deal with Wiz. He’s just 30. Didn’t realize he was that strong. Was thinking soft Euro … my bad. 300 lbs and reasonably quick? Sheeeooot!! Make Luka super happy quick with Nurk too PLUS DFS. :rock: :cool:

    I will say that he can't do anything with Jokic, just like everyone else, but he does bully Jokic around in the paint. I was surprised at seeing that on a few occasions. I think they have some type of connection, off the court too, like Jokic has with Vucevic.

    They are going to be a problem with AD, this is going to be an intense rivalry moving forward. Their strength is our weakness right now for sure. Might even see a few fist fights involved. Well...at least a few NBA caliber "slap fights".

    can we trade Maxi Kleber straight up for Steven Adams?

    if yes, this may be worth looking at, since I'm not a big fan of messing with the current rotation and chemistry. We are playing really well lately.

    Adams makes slightly too much money unfortunately.

    Quite a statement by the team tonight. The way JJ has these guys playing defense and the way LeBron looks physically…it’s hard to say let’s wait until the summer. But there may just not be a good trade out there.

    Not sure the Lakers really need a big that bad when you have 3 of Bron , Vando , DFS and Rui on the floor .

    Transition offense and defense are better , you shoot more 3s ..

    I think people need to stop freaking out about the center like we haven’t a chance without a huge upgrade and most of all stop the nonsense that AR is going in some trade for that kind of non star upgrade. Zen you doomer get a grip. :rofl: AR is more important to the team than that level of an upgrade. We have Luka freaking Doncic joining the team Saturday reportedly and Rob still has something up his sleeve most likely.

    You're my dawg LT but no. A team can't play real ball with Hayes, Koloko and Woods (is he still even alive?) as your bigs. These dudes are not even 2nd stringers :(

    No I hear you I’m just saying they’re not going to trade AR for that upgrade. I think Rob is smokescreening and will get someone better than we have by Thursday.

    Jaxon Hayes is our only center for the playoffs if we can’t get anyone during the trade deadline. Koloko and Jamison will be sent home lol

    I’m on a 15 hour flight over the close of the trade deadline. I’m seriously considering delaying it by a day. Just wanted to know what we do… haven’t been this invested since before we traded for Nash and Dwight.
