I missed Veesaar sadly, as I had to leave at the start of the UNC game in order to make it back home before midnight. I did however see Ugonna...
Probably, but if I'm the Lakers and am helping Miami secure Giannis in a Bucks trade by sending out First(s) to Milwaukee, I'm probably making the...
Not a terrible option and certainly a rather realistic one IMO, but right now I think the best case scenario for the Lakers is helping facilitate...
It sounds like we're mostly in agreement on all of this. The thing for me is that I don't think the Giannis path is viable or even comparable to...
The fact that the goal here is to actually win a championship with Luka is exactly why I am so vehemently against a Giannis trade for the Lakers....
Agreed. Granted, I was always one of the people more in favor of using the incoming free cap space to make a more significant roster overhaul over...
I like the Suggs and Dort trade ideas a lot, but I'm too skeptical on Herb Jones and the Pelicans' overly rich asking price for him in a trade at...
All the three and minimal defense. Yes, Rui does try harder come playoff time, but it's still not a strongsuit of his game and his IQ of the game...
They would be pretty good... just not good enough to win a championship. The makings are there. There are absolutely pieces that we already have...
Oh I know. Trading the '31 and/or the '33 Firsts this summer isn't something I'm personally against. I'm talking about Firsts like this year's or...
Just to follow up on this post a wee bit, obviously I personally don't think the Lakers can afford to just do what OKC and San Antonio did and go...
Going to post this again in here, since it's all about nailing the draft. I'm still in the camp of targeting Mo Krivas in the draft and...
I will say, I'd love to get Mara or Kessler. Not a fan of Clax at all and I don't think he's worth pursuing at all. I'm still in the camp of...
True, which is why I still personally want us to also draft a Center this year too, so that we can potentially move off of DA or let him opt out...
At this point, Robinson is my favorite non-draft Big target for us in the summer. He's got health issues, so we'd need to keep Hayes and Ayton and...
Agreed, which is why I think we shouldn't just dumb down our search for the Center position here to a specific offensive archetype versus the...
Well, if you'd like the full list of stats, here's the link. But in short? Krivas is substantially better than '24 Missi at rebounding (11.6...
Guys, the Lakers need to start drafting and developing well. We can't just keep botching our picks or trade them away willy nilly for win now...
I'll have to do a deeper dive check on this, but the first glance stats comparison I did at Tankathon between Krivas this year at Arizona vs '24...
Yeah, I've cooled off a bit on the "Trade for Missi" idea personally and prefer the idea of us drafting a Big with our pick at either #24 or 25....
