2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

He can shoot or at least thinks he can, that's part of them problem

Never healthy, not worth a roster spot and that's personality and other stuff aside.

I really like the idea of a one stop shop of Missi, Jones, Bey and then all the needs are checked off depending on what we lose to free agency.

 

Yeah, I like the idea too. Herb's shot is not nearly as broken as Vando's, and at least he has some semblance of volume. Maybe Lakers could help fix that shot, like the Dodgers helped with the swings of players like Turner and Muncy? Why Bey though? I know he is a good shooter, and excellent rebounder for his position. Hes definitly in that power forward build. Seems we have a lot of those guys already. I would say, definitely Missi and maybe Jones.

 

Massive talent upgrade on the bench. Volume 3 point shooter. Can defend a couple positions. Can confidently scale up his role. Had some crazy scoring performances for the New Orleans dumpster this year. Looks like he's recovered well from his injury.

If we're a bit clogged, we can throw Jake in the trade too.


The more two way forwards you can load up on the roster the better.

 

Oh heck, yeah if we could get rid of LaRava. That's still 5 large forward types though: Luka, Lebron, Rui, Bey, and Thiero. Also, wouldn't New Orleans ask for more for that guy. We dont really need him, hes more of a luxury.

 

Brown and the Leprechauns

Watson and Johnson with LA being mentioned

The KD of it all

Raptors looking for shooting

Want to buy low? Might I suggest




Suns expected to look at Barnes and Wade

Just keep him away from here. Team won't go anywhere as long as the Beard is there.




Hell of a rise for Mike. From Draft Express in 2012 with Givony to the Blazers assistant GM to running the Mavs. That's really cool to see, that kind of story.

 

If the core of the package is Mobley for Giannis, it might make sense for the Cavs to send Allen to the Bucks for Turner too. In that case, maybe we try to have Allen re-routed here.

 

Good forward thinking. Yeah, Allen wouldn't make sense with Giannis, and Turner is Taylor made for him. Off top of my head we send Vando + LaRavia + Ayton + #25 + 2031 1st for Allen.

Cavs need to be under 2nd apron after a trade though, to be able to aggregate players.

 

we are still fundamentally flawed and a bad defensive team IMO, 2 starting guards that don't defend, our center is a nice player but not a good defender

I disagree with those who think a defensive wing will fix this, even if elite.

We have some nice players, like the roster isn't bad, but it's just a clunky fit.

it's not that we can't win, but the likelihood would be higher if we have Luka + maybe Lebron + a bunch of 2 way players.

 

Ayton is better than Allen.

 

Lol, how so? We need defense and a vertical threat. Ayton can't play defense or catch the ball, I don't get it.

 

Haha if you’re getting Devin Booker Austin Reaves is going out. It starts with that.

 

What do his political views have to do with his basketball fit?
This is ret@rd!d

 

I like Brooks more than most, but not for TWO firsts. They would have to settle for one.

 

Cam Lakers hustle play defense get to 50/50 balls go the distance in a more physical setting with 42 year old Lebron and two players thats limited on defense? Lets put it in perspective. Over the past 3 years Austin have Played with Lebron/Davis Lebron/Luka. To date it net 2 won games so far. Moving into next season you can see a less motivated Lakers team and a older Lebron talking a step forward? All of the teams ahead us younger and more physical and Athletic. I

 

here is the deal their ability to play physical was going
to be the test.

 

I'm not sure Brooks is the type of player we need. I think what we lack and need is athletic, high-energy and quick wings. Like a Ausar Thompson, Cason Wallace, or Caruso type.

From the Suns, I'd like to get Goodwin back and maybe Ryan Dunn.

 

Would have been great if we had Austin in a Manu role.

 

As crazy as this sounds I wouldn’t trade Mobley for Gianiss.

 

Locker room chemistry. They're definitely not going to like a Trump supporter in their locker room

 

AR would be excellent in a Manu role, only if we had the right personnel, ie legitimate starters like Bruce Bowen, Michael Finley, and Kawhi Leonard starting ahead of him.

Can't just thrown him on the bench for the sake of it when we don't have the talent to make it work.
