2023-24 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

not that i love this type of organizational move (though it's definitely in our wheelhouse)...add him as a lead assistant tomorrow. tell ham it's...in his best interest to do it.

 

Not sure how Rondo would fare as a coach. His basketball IQ is very high, but besides 2015 in Sacramento, he's definitely had an IDGAF attitude, towards the regular season. Would he be able to inspire a team for 82 games. The young guys could learn some things, the vets? IDK

 

Guess Ham already has it circled as a loss due to injuries.

 

There's enough going in that locker room for a part 2?

 

Yes to Murray. We really need Bron and Rich Paul to pressure the Hawks here. Cause otherwise there's a team who will offer a better deal. Why do the Hawks play ball? To maintain a good relationship with Trae's agent cause for now he's still the closet thing they have to a draw for the fan base.

No to LaVine, here he's nothing more than a slightly richer man's Malik Monk but with injuries. Which is great until you're paying $40m+ for that and in that case, it's a f*** no.

 

Can't believe the Magic are just now doing this. Have they been too busy being a losing franchise since Dwight left (until now) to notice?

Fourth player will be Bron -- Cavs, Heat, Lakers

 

The Legend of Coach Rondo BEGINS. Yes do it LAKERS. And let's get Ham a picture of Kobe for his office. Here is one...

 

Only new thing from Buha on this one was just how confident he is we'll make a trade.

He said he thinks we'll definitely make a move. Maybe not all-star return -- but maybe a level below that. (Again) Brought up LaVine and Murray as the two names he's hearing.

 

Jovan Buha, via Jason Timpf’s podcast, “I’m warm to the idea of a LaVine trade.”

I bet you’d be “warm” for a bit too if you trusted what you thought was a big Fart and crapped your pants instead.

 

Lavine by himself yuck. With Caruso yummy

 

shaq will be their first ever retired #. i'm also shocked they hadn't retired it years ago considering he's the one who put the franchise on the map. also surprised they haven't retired t-mac's number. guessing dwight will be #2

 

I went to a game in Atlanta vs the Cavs with Lebron. That audience was way more into Lebron than anyone on their team. I have heard that same audience totally have Kobe's back when we played there. Terrible fan base.

 

Latest from Woike on all this from his LA Times newsletter

 

Damn Gil.

NFSW: LANGUAGE

 

Ouch

Always best when others outside the team start calling people out vs fans

 

Lol. I can't lie. I have been finding Gil as the voice of the angry, grumpy Laker fan to be entertaining.
