2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

to be fair I think he's criticized most for having a big contract and not producing. But I remember Suns fans saying they'd rather have Brandon Knight playing over Johnson last year. Yikes.

 

younger JR Smith

 

Well if the 40% 3 point shooters aren't getting it done... why not try the 35% shooters?

Don't get this one. Give IT another chance.

 

Exploratory conversations with Marvin Williams, Reggie Jackson, Moe Harkless and MKG would be nice but I doubt it happens now - seems like all these guys are headed elsewhere.

But at the end of the day - this has been a really tough 2 weeks for Lakers. I don't expect them to make any moves because they're still dealing with the Kobe death. I honestly wouldn't cut anybody for that reason alone - guys are still dealing with it, you can tell.

I think this All Star Break is exactly what our team needs - I'm over us making moves man. Sometimes it's bigger than basketball. Let's try and win it with this group - don't uproot anybody right now.

 

IT's defense is legit the worst for a pg

He isn't worth it, rather just play Cook or Caruso

 

“Moves” don’t just mean trades. SMH. Championship teams always get value from the waivers and buyouts. We can’t even do that. Weird. And frustrating.

 

williams is signing with the bucks, jackson (if he gets bought out) is likely going to the clips, harkless is staying in NY, and MKG sucks

and lol @ wanting IT. like i said, his defense would make rondo's look good. waiters, smith, or green are the best options right now. even turner wouldn't be a bad addition

 

Pelinka is indeed a moron. Got played twice with no back up plan

 

For most teams I can see how it would be a bad idea, but on this team with AD, Dwight, JaVale I think it would work okay.

He is one of the worst defenders but he's also 20th out of 86 point guards for offensive real plus minus while Rondo is 62nd and Bradley is 71st

Obviously Collison would be better but Washington is a terrible defensive team while we are a good defensive team so the numbers look worse than they are

Again we need three point shooters and free throw shooting and although IT isn't what he used to be, he did improve this season from the previous year and we know he isn't afraid to shoot like some of our other shooters

 

Amen brother. We're always on the same page.

I woulda been pissed the f*** off if we traded Kuzma for Rose or Morris - look at what the Clippers ended up trading to get him...Harkless, Robinson and 1st round pick (which we couldn't trade). NYK asked for Kuzma AND Danny Green - sorry that's a f*** no from me.

Keep team together - simple as that. Ride it out wit this group and just figure out a better rotation - one where Rondo isn't playing against contending teams

 

I agree with this! You don’t make a move to make a move. There was no one that would move the needle and as you said we don’t gut the team just to make a move. That’s what impatient fans want and crappy franchises do.

 

our offense is missing a guy who's a threat to score off the dribble around a high screen. IT can still do that. we've pretty much stopped playing defense of late aside from AD, so might as well roll the dice on a guy who's played solidly on offense this year.

certainly over jr smith.
