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

You don’t know that we haven’t seen the full team together yet with a chance to gel. If other teams struggle with health and we get lucky with it anything can happen. So many willing to just roll over and wave the white flag. Play the damn games! Our Big 3 alone if healthy is no joke. Sure just to be right everyone wants to proclaim it. This ain’t the same team we had last year by a long shot.

 

guessing they'd prefer to trade dort for a prospect they believe in. but if, say, they wanted thiero...wouldn't that be a reason to keep him?

 

Good job Rob! A bullet dodged!

The Queens setting up the most ethical tank in NBA history with Sabonis, Lavine, and now Hunter out!

 

They can let us absorb Dort into our cap space, taking back no salary,and that 31 pick may be more valuable to them, than their two picks in this upcoming draft.

 

Why would we want a dirty player on our roster?

 

We loved Artest

 

Fort tries to injure people daily. Artest played hard and had a few moments, but he was trying to injure people.

 

Alijah Arenas.

We aren’t trading a 1st round pick in this draft. And that’s because we’re drafting Alijah Arenas. Have you seen this draft. It’s loaded and Deep.

perfect player to put next to Luka. He’s Big. He’s like his dad but he’s “6,7”.

And he can Shoot. Score at will on any part of the court. Star potential.

 

3 players who have that look



Kobe Bryant

Shai

Aliejah Arenas.

where are the similarities? Long Big Lanky. Ability to penetrate and get to the line at will. Work the mid range. Mid range shot.

can shoot 3. Can handle the ball.

Can compete on defense. Exceptional offense.

I just scout. I see the game. I’d take this guy Before Cameron Boozer. I’d take this guy before Daryn Peterson. I’m just telling you what my eyes see.

any part of the court he can get his shot.

I remember Jerry seeing Kobe at the workout and saying okay that’s it. Let’s go home.

that’s what I feel with this kid. Unfortunately there are going to be a lot of teams on this kid after the workout.

I don’t know if there’s a trade up or what but this kid is special.

he’s got Laker written all over him. I don’t know if we get to the dad and try to influence him here. I know Kobe forced his way here.

I just hope the Clippers don’t get this kid.

yeah I might do a crazy trade.

But Luka and this kid. Him playing off ball. Why??? I see the game. Why do I see the game?

there are just things you see. I’ve been trying to find a kid who can play off ball with Luka. He doesn’t need the ball. It’s this kid.

when you scout guys. You wanna see what can they do?? Does he hit the box???? This guys a 5/5.

watch the tape and do yourself a favor.

 

Me being tied into USC all our guys


OJ Mayo

Nick Young

Demar Derozen


Our wings. Demar had the Kobe similarities. So athletic strong. Just a techincian.

I’m not sure Derozen has Arenas handle.

I don’t have to watch alot of tape. Now Arenas doesn’t have Derozans athleticism but he’s crafty.

you need guys crafty. Shais crafty. Shais not as athletic as Kobe. Who is??? Jordan???
But Arenas and Shai are long.

stay tuned. Don’t know how it’s done but we gotta find a way to trade up for this kid.

 

I think Trey can thrive being the #3. He will surely hit his unguarded 3s, which we really need to open the floor for Luka and AR.

He wouldn't be the main POA, but he's long and smart, he can certainly improve in his defense knowing his long term role in a team. NOLA situation doesn't help him.

Plus, he's a good enough scorer to hold a bit the fort when Luka or AR go down, which just this year happen for more than half the season. We need a guy like that to keep a good seed

If you pair him with a Keon Ellis, you can keep him as a 2nd defender.


On Watson, do you rather pay 35 for him or 20 for Eason? It's a tricky one, it's a huge bet that Watson has semi-star potential based on a couple months

 

Eason at 20 for sure, but he would also cost 35, and a higher probability of Houston matching.

 

Hall of fame Laker!!!!!! Probably clutch 5 shots in Lakers history.

 

The chemistry is off in Houston.


The had something real good with the young guys and Brooks.

the all in trade with Durant looked good. But now he looks like a guy playing with kids. The burner account thing gonna f*** up that locker room.

OKC has the chemistry.

our squad can really do it.

 

I remember those Kobe stretches. If Luka can do that which he’s more than capable of and we get the expected stuff from Reaves and Lebron we can actually do this.

a 4-5 with Houston everybody will point to Minnesota but we have the potential to 4-1 them.

Phoenix is my little dark horse. I can see them upsetting Denver.

 

He scored 27 points, including 16 straight in the second quarter.

In 21 minutes on the floor, Thomas made 11 of 17 shots

Bucks, playing without the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo won 6 out of 7

 

It would be crazy for Eason to get that much.
Not sure Houston can match, he's a 3&D and they have a few. Their starting 5 is Sengun, Jabari, KD, Amen, Vanvleet. They have Jabari extension coming up next year, Reed is up for extension and Amen will eventually get his max too. Eason is like their 7th player, doesn't make sense for them to pay 20M I think

 

One was tough and crazy, the other is a dirty pos that's not that good (not in any other uni than OKC's... and maybe Dubs). f*** him.

 

The NBA needs to bring the slam dunk back to the slam dunk contest. And here’s how you do it.

Cooper Flagg put that Brent berry jersey on. Get the whole warm up.

Zion Williamson

Ja Morant

Anthony Edwards

Jalen Johnson

Victor Wembyana


Let’s Go!!!!!!!!
