    I like all your posts but I can’t agree with this one. Brother Reaves is special Gianiss is 31 Reaves is 26. We gotta stop with the we gotta win one now. I don’t want to do another 2020 I wanna 4 championships I want to Win 3 let’s see what this Luka Ayton Reaves core will be when they are 29 and OKC has to make a trade to get off that money. You don’t think cheap Clay Bennett is going to keep paying those guys do you?????

    that’s why I bought up Melo Brotha. Remember in 2011 he didn’t want to wait.

    Hear what I’m saying. Don’t get misled on a bad season by Herb Jones. Everybody sucks on New Orleans they are 3-18

    I remember when Trevor Ariza was saying get me out of New York telling me he wants to come back to Cali. All I saw was the size and length I saw at Westchester high.


    Herb Jones I identified as most important player Lakers needed to acquire. I was right about Ayton. Look how he’s playing. I said we had to acquire him.

    Herb is exactly what we need. Long Length 3-D defense. f***ing defense.

    Here are facts. Luka can’t guard for s*** Reaves can’t guard for s*** Lebron can’t guard for s***.

    All we’re gonna do is get Ayton a lot of fouls.

    you got Shai Edwards Booker Durant we have to get this wing solved or we’ll be beat quicker then you can say Miami.

    Herbert Jones is young athletic wing and he can catch and shoot the ball When Luka dishes. Herb Jones does not need the ball.

    You add Herb Jones with Luka get the f*** outa here. Like I said 3 championships. Now we got our defender.

    New Orleans I’ll give you the 2028 first round unprotected pick and Knect. One thing we are missing since Max Christie left is perimeter defense. We need this. Get him before Golden State gets him.

    i'd do this with kleber as the salary filler, but my guess is NO gets similar offers and chooses those over ours.

    Soft launch of a trade demand and non contact leg injury the same day



    Team's calling it a calf strain.

    I wouldn't include Thiero in the trade though. The kid has high upside imo. I don't have any data to really support this, but just a gut feeling about the kid.

    If I was the Bucks I would go with the ATL trade.
    You get NO pick, Young who you can trade again, a bunch of ATL.picks which could be valuable if Gianni's blows out his Achilles (oh sorry calf injury), and someone like rishacherre(sp?)

    Is 2031 1st (unprotected), 2028 swap, 2030 swap, 2032 swap, and Rui enough for Herb? Rui is a healthy power forward, just saying.

    Anyone who suggests we should get Paul should probably get a long suspension or be permanent-banned.

    that's way too much for Herb - he's hasn't been good in 2 years. I'd give the unprotected fist and keep Rui, throw in knecht, and one swap

    Yeah. This is my thought. We may be able to buy low here
