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

We need to get Nic Claxton also.

 

And those weren’t OKC Thunder fans at the Lakers game tonight with their sunglasses. Those were pozers. Love those pozers that act like their fans of the hottest team. Like OKC bandwagoners.

 

Sam Presti is a hell of a GM. The Thunder head into a deep draft, with 3 FRP.

 

Presti is the best in the bizz.

 

Austin Reaves is Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones was an all star in the regular season and then he would get destroyed by Isiah Rider in the playoffs when we played the blazers.

that’s the similarities I see with Austin.

Jerry traded Eddie for Glen Rice because he fit better with Kobe and Shaq.

So while I like Austin Eddie was my favorite player favorite Laker but I knew he had to be traded and it was a trade to win the championship.

A Austin Reaves for Keegan Murray trade would be better for the Lakers because he fits better next to Luka and Lebron a set catch and shooter. Kind of what Cade Cunningham is going through.

 

He's not a shooter though. He shot 28% this year and his shot has gotten worse every year. 41% to 36% to 34% to 28%. Trading Reaves for him is as bad as keeping THT over Caruso.

 

Austin clearly don't understand the physical nature of the playoffs. He is thinking this is like regular season 15 points off touch fouls at the free throw line. He was crying all night once again with the refs.

 

Today’s NBA is a one star system with a deep versatile roster.In reality the Lakers bet to accomplish that is S&T with both LeBron and AR

 

"the thunder are the thunder because of their moves around the edges

Lu Dort - undrafted, 2-way contract (4th in total minutes)
Isaiah Joe - signed as a free agent after 76ers cut him (5th in total minutes)
Ajay Mitchell - 2nd round pick (6th in total minutes)
Aaron Wiggins - 2nd round pick (7th in total minutes)
Jaylin Willians - 2nd round pick (8th in total minutes)

that is freaking incredible. half of their rotation are freebies."

nomoreshaq on LG posted this - that's pretty damn good.

 

I endorse this message.

 

Denver might be the only team since the Spurs, to win a Championship without at least two All-Stars.

 

Being a all-star doesn’t make you a “star” in the NBA.The writing is on the wall.One dominant player with versatility and depth off the bench is what must be done because of the constraints of the CBA

 

What's your definition of a star?

 

Joker,SGA,Luka,Giannis,Wemby..,, Ant

 

Ok...MVP caliber players....there are only a few of those guys.
