Nah man Mark Williams isn't a rim-protector lol. Also, Knecht's value was higher back then, and we also included two swaps i believe. Dalton's is...
Your really zeroing in on a very specific thing here. I'm not saying the guy is Wilt Chamberlain, but he gets 10.9 rebounds per 36 minutes for his...
Because the #26 pick is not a super attractive asset. There is also the Knecht salary dump aspect of the it. Ths't worth something too. They have...
LAKERS BORING OFF-SEASON TRADE DRAFT DAY If no sufficient pick available, trade Knecht + 2026 1st (#26) + 2031 1st to New Orleans for Missi +...
Yeah, it likely is not a good idea. In any case, Lakers need to improve their rim-protection. The way I see it, we essentially have 4/5 of the...
At least Giannis could defend, but I do see the comparison. Giannis gives me that "I could talk myself into it" vibe that Westbrook did, even...
The problem with the Giannis one is you have him and Ayton playing together. Just swap Ayton out with Portis, and it makes more sense. But not...
One option for rim-protcting lob-catcher could be Missi. Pelicans don't have a 1st this year. #26 + 2033 2nd for Missi? If there isn't a...
I have come around to prioritizing rim-protecting/lob-catching big as the priority, since it looks like Lebron and Smart are acceptable forms of...
The last injury was to his shoulder though, not lower body. It's recoverable. The rationale here is you extract the positive things that are...
I'm pumped up about the playoffs, but looking ahead to next year I'm not set on anything in particular. We will have options. Possible option:...
CP makes sense. When you think about it, he still doesn't have a chip. He's a 40 year old CP, but he would also be a highly motivated CP. Good...
I agree it's probably not happening. But Giannis is a lob threat, and he ads defense, unlike Westbrook did. It would require a lot of cooperation...
Yeah previously, in my Giannis scensrios, the team was gutted way too much. But now, I'm dead set on NOT trading Thiero, Lebron accepted the off...
The emergence of Lebron in the off-role, and resurgence of Smart as an elite 3 and D player has made a trade for Giannis more attractive from a...
Well when you look at the stats, it does show that. But you have to look up how many shots each gets when all three of them play together....
I like the Bird/Shaq Comp. But they were not historically excessively high usage like Luka and Giannis. Both woud have to buy in to have the ball...
Okay, that's right. Probably had us sending more contracts out too, to afford Ellis. Maybe send LaRavia out. Not a bad option, although Turner has...
The beauty of that is, we essentially have two elite defenders in that lineup (Giannis and Smart), and Turner is still a very good rim-protector....
A more simple Giannis trade scenario, just for simplicity's sake: Lakers get: Giannis and Turner Bucks get: Reaves, Vanderbilt, Knecht, 23rd...
