2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

It’s probably a better outcome for the Clippers, they can insert a more rounded defensive player. Beal looks done.

As for AD, someone will go for him and the 60 games he is healthy, he’ll be a force. The guys still a beast.

Man, I can’t get over how bad Dallas fumbled. They traded all their draft picks to put a team around Luka, then they traded or let go some of those pieces like Brunson, Grimes and Porzingis for not much. After a finals appearance they then trade Luka. Then are looking to trade the All NBA guy they got for him at his lowest value.

This will set them back half a decade. It’s awful stuff. They better hope Flagg pans out as a top 10 player otherwise it’s bad news bears over there.

 

It has to be the owner, he seems like a guy who just doesn't want to pay.

Maybe? But just an all around great place to "visit" apparently.

 

ok that's pretty bad. Grandpa has to get that hip checked out asap.

 

Stein on AD

We've discussed Heat. Bulls has been mentioned for years as a hypothetical return home. I've seen Pacers floated as an option but they're too cheap. The fan trade I've seen that makes the most sense to me is Sacramento. He covers for Sabonis inability to defend. They have a plethora of guards. LaVine for AD. I think it balances both teams. Both teams are dumb so they won't do it.

 

if Sac is looking at blowing things up, I'm not sure I see the fit. Nobody is giving up big bucks for a cripple. Except Nico.

never thought we'd be scammers, man. Ouch.

 

AD to the Lakers for Bronny, Dalton, Koloko and picks

 

in addition to being laughed off the phone, I'm thinking there's no way the money works on that one.

But we have a log jam at the forward position. Not sure I see it being the most amazing idea even if we could work a deal out.

 

Might need to check on your office, coach. Might already be empty.

 

If they do end up firing him man what a classless way to set it up. Some organizations are really trash

 

Stupid NBA putting teams in cities that fail and continue to fail. Move them to Seattle. Expansion is stupid. And move another team to Vegas, maybe the Grizzlies.

 

this confounds me constantly. there are so many competent people out in the world, and these billion-dollar enterprises manage to somehow find none of them.

i realize that in part the answer comes down to the fact that the owners are not necessarily all that sharp nor scrupulous. but still...

 

This is America professor, you don't necessarily have to be sharp or scrupulous to get filthy rich here!




Anywhoo...this is our first "Big" game of the young season. Let's go get this win tonight boys!!!

Go Lakers!!

 

Beal has to be the most chiseled tin man of all time!

 

AD for Ja Morant and Clarke. Memphis just got better, Dallas moves Kyrie and dumps Klay, for picks and young prospects.

 

Mavs are just in a bad spot. All their guys have terrible trade value right now.

 

Still TBD..most teams aren't going to be any good, without their two best players for long stretches. Especially in the West, except maybe our Lakers!

 

The number one rated individual defensive player in the NBA:
Caruso.
The Lakers were soooooo stupid to let him go.
