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

Bev+Nunn for Harrison Barnes? Harrison is on an expiring this year, FYI.

Shooting like s*** from there so far. In previous years, he's been okay.

Thoughts. Anybody?

 

If Byant is looking ok, I'd add Jones and 1 2nd rd pick, and try to snag Bamba and Ross from Orlando

 

no 1st round picks and i'm in. if he can't shoot, he's just a bigger beverley, so win. if he recovers his stroke, he's perfect as a sf with a lebron/AD/reaves/walker starting lineup.

 

i'd consider this, too. orlando's barely playing bamba, and it's likely ross leaves in FA next year. we get a regular-sized wing and a backup center.

 

LOL..Ben Simmons for Klay Thompson?

What I'm thinking.

Just throwing stuff Around.

 

yeah, gs ain't doing that, even with klay not being klay anymore (and he's not).

 

after the kyrie thing fell through, i thought a bit about whether bkn might move simmons for russ and a pick or something, but with how things have started, i'd rescind that thought.

i think it's important to remember how much things can change in a couple months.

 

A lot of those teams are going to wish they’d just made fair deals with us instead of trying to gut us.

 

Seth Curry is on a decent contract. As far as Simmons for Klay...I can't think of any other Western Conference veteran shooter that could match his salary. Maybe it's Wiggins instead of Klay?

 

I'm sure that was Brooklyn calling and asking for Klay. GS countered with Dray and KD hung up the phone.

 

Harrison's not motivated, he's stuck in Sac and this season he's been bounced from the #2 guy to the #3 or even the #4 guy. He didn't sign up for that. If he's gonna be the #3 or #4 it better be on a contender. Only 30, still young, dude is .377 from 3 over 10 seasons, people are doom-saying him. Fine, grab him while his value is down and Sac is looking at their rookie and concerned with a youthful future. We Need a big-a** wing who can defend and shoot the 3, play SF and PF. Perfect fit, not at all concerned about his game.

He's going to walk anyways come next summer. Then go after Turner/Hield. That adds a level of depth we are completely devoid of now. 3 guys with size, defense, shoot the 3 and do all these things at a very high level (minus Hield on defense but Ham can train him). What more do you want?

 

hate to see it

 

I’ve always liked Barnes for this team. I think he’d pair well with our stars. I have no idea how he looks so far this year though.

 

On a positive note...
The Lakers are a top defensive team due to steals - Silver Screen and Roll

 

Still being played almost 33 minutes a game but off to a terrible start with his 3s on 3 attempts per game. But he's a GIANT at 6'8".

When you let the dip***** run your league, this is the result. Players are paid to play. Not run the team.

The fact that that mental midget Ben Simmons filed a grievance to get his 20 million while sitting on his a** to play video games, and got it, tells you right there why these chumps are trash.

 

Yeah Barnes would be great. But I like the Bamba deal too. He's a perfect fit to AD. I think we will do some deal like that around January. But the Magic need to be near the play-in zone for that deal to make sense to them

 

I really wanted Bamba in the off-season and was hoping the magic wouldn’t extend a QO to him. He has consistency and effort issues (same reason I was going against Lonnie Walker when we signed him).

But these kind of players seem to step up to the mark quite often when they are in a scenario with vets and trying to contend.

Barnes would be great too, solves a lot of our SF issues. I can’t see Barnes being moved without a first going back though?

Bamba maybe a second and a young player?
