2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Cade Cunningham got 3 triple double in a row,and Detroit beat Atlanta.Maybe it's not that terrible Detroit from last season ,but still sucks too lose like that

 

Let's see how he responds to getting benched by his new coach too. It got his attention when Ham did it.

 

I think Dlo, Gabe, JHS, and min matches Schroeder and Cam Johnson. I would be really interested in something like that.

Most of this board thought he was a scrub. Perhaps he got better player development after getting away from Phil Handy?

 

taylor jenkins consistently gets more out of guys, much like spoelstra. jake laravia is playing well for them this year, and who's heard of david roddy in the past couple years? memphis may become the new miami (who replaced the spurs) in terms of "don't sign their role players in free agency".

 

Street Clothes

BTW …. did anyone else feel a teeny bit suspicious when the same summer we took AD from NO … either that same draft period (I was thinking) or the next they came up with the ping pong balls to draft Zion? No way! Way??

 

We have more from the Pacific Division:

As we relayed Friday, Cam Reddish took D’Angelo Russell‘s spot in the Lakers‘ starting five. Russell was moved to the bench last season when the team began to lose too, but his connection with then-coach Darvin Ham suffered, Dave McMenamin writes of ESPN. This time with JJ Redick coaching the team, Russell is approaching the situation with a different mentality. “I left all that, all my baggage at the door this summer once we changed coaches and new staff came in,” Russell said. “I was committed to whatever it takes. That’s what y’all see now.”
The Lakers are expected to be active on the trade market after a 5-4 start with a 24th-ranked defense, Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report relays. Fischer names Milwaukee’s Brook Lopez and Washington’s Jonas Valanciunas as two targets on L.A.’s “internal board,” with Russell potentially being available as outgoing salary.
Just do it , enough of speculations

 

What, like the Spurs getting the 1st pick when Wemby committed to the draft?

 

Rinse…Wash…Repeat.
What a waste.

 

Morant (hip) is considered week-to-week and doesn't have a specific timetable for his return, the team announced Saturday.
I want 40 points blowout.

 

This team doesn’t have the killer instinct to destroy someone by 40.

 

JJ will find it

 

It takes the team’s best players to display it on the court.
In a regular season game, LeBron is too old to want to do it(for preservation reasons that I agree with) and AD is too chill.
No mamba mentality in either.
That being said, I absolutely LOVE what AD has been doing.

 

curious to see how phx does without durant. he was a worldbeater for the first 9 games. we're the only team that beat them.

new orleans has sputtered to start, and i believe they own their own pick and have milwaukee's in this draft. if you're NO, do you see if someone's willing to give you something for zion? feel like there are still teams that will do it, but you can't wait much longer. you can bottom out this year and maybe get two lotto picks now, some unprotected future picks, etc. they should be in firesale mode, imo.

on the flip side, zion's 24 and is under contract at below super max for four more years. it ain't happening in NO--which team near contention moves some picks and expiring salary for him? we'd be a candidate if he were a guard, imo. he's a terrible fit with lebron and AD, though.
