7 SURPRISING Vet Min Free Agent Targets. (Who Suddenly Got CHEAPER | 2026 Offseason)

 

I like Sochan, if Vando is moved.
Langdale would be an improvement over Jax for our second string C.

 

Is KNICKS CHAMPIONSHIP a BLUEPRINT for Lakers to BUILD ROSTER around Luka Dončić?

 

pretty much, but we just don't have a path to getting prime anunoby and prime bridges. we could probably trade for a hart-level guy, and could maybe get one guy on the anunoby/bridges level if we were creative.

I remember calling for OG for years before he left the Raptors. I was so disappointed he went to the Knicks. I was calling for a Reaves and OG swap.
Man that Raptors team was excellent… Kawhi, Siakam and OG as your 3 and 4’s. FVV, Lowry, Powell and Green as guards. Ibaka and Gasol as your big men. What a team.

I also remember us discussing Bridges quite often - I called him one of the premier 3&D guys in the league that would blow up as a 2nd option. Where you thought he was decent but not elite. I think you were closer to the money on that call.

I would say he has been the 4th option on the Knicks - back to his role he had with the Suns.

I don’t know how we get some more solid two way players but we could use another really solid wing - adding Wiggins to our healthy team I think puts us at 60 wins.
