2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

This does not surprise me at all that we are not on that list. I mean lets face it, JC's game is in the mold of players that do not fit with us (see:WB/THT).

 

I don't buy that Jazz Notes account, apparently they've called a bunch of Jazz-related s*** incorrectly just this offseason. I do think there will be a push on our end to get a trade done before LeBron has his mini camp and it sounds like that is happening soon.

 

Damn, I was hoping for the conspiracy theory that they were holding off on formally introducing Beverley because they were close to a trade and figured might as well just introduce all the new acquisitions together.

 

Waiting for a trade to happen soon. WB/Nunn/2027 1st/2029 pick swap to Utah for Conley/Bojan/Beasley.

 

I couldn’t agree more. I think Rob’s unreasonable love for a basic player has rubbed off on many fans. Oh well, I’m actually glad that Indy is being stupid with their demands because I’m not that high on Turner either.

 

It’s not us- it’s that little B!tch Ainge trying to squeeze Rob for all he’s got.

 

Again, Beasley could be traded effective today.

 

Conley and Bogdanovis will be on par with Ariza, Matthews, Green etc. signings. Im not thrilled to say the least...

 

Hield has his flaws, but I think a lot of you are cherry-picking that 36% from 3 last season and blowing it out of proportion.

That 36% came on high volume. He was making over three 3PT a game (would have been the highest on our team last season). That’s not bad. That still spaces the floor significantly.

Also let’s not ignore the factor that pure shooters often fit like a glove next to Lebron. They space the floor to give him more room to operate, his gravity gets them more open looks.

Hield also averaged a career high 4.8 APG in his stint with Indiana. That may not look that impressive, but I’d argue that it is actually pretty good for a SG who generally isn’t a primary ball handler. And this wasn’t a case of him getting assists because nobody else on the team was, Haliburton was also averaging 10 APG. Cranjis was discussing with a Pacers podcast host who described Hield’s playmaking as a legitimate positive.

An elite shooter who also knows how to move the ball well as a secondary playmaker would do wonders for our offense.

 

Who's Bogdanovis?

 

bogdanobutthead's pal?

 

Am sure Russ will be at the presser. That would be quite a surprise if he was though wouldn't it.

 

He looks 43 though

 

Catch and shoot like kcp mixed well with LeBron

 

I have the same sentiment of these two posts. I prefer a Hield/Turner trade over a Conley/Bogdanovic/Whoever else trade.

Turner and AD protecting the rim would be amazing, and Hield might be sneaky good getting open looks from Lebron/AD. I didn’t realize this until recently, but Hield played pretty well for the Pacers after he got traded. He was averaging close to 5assists per game.

Both Turner and Hield are younger than the Jazz package too, which is the ultimate downside risk for the Lakers. We are bringing back a 34 year old Conley and a 33 year old Bogdanovic, the concern would be a repeat of the “old” Lakers team from last season where we had the oldest team in the league. Both Bogdanovic and Conley would be great fits alongside AD/Lebron in their prime… the bet is if they have enough in the tank for the next 2 seasons

 

Explain ic to me like I'm forgetting something obvious here ....
