I know they are different positions, but fwiw Vuc DBPM this season is -0.2 and 0.2 for his career. Rui is -0.7 this season and -1.2 for his career.
After the trades: DFS > Rui Higher volume 3s/ Lower usage/Better Defender Max > Dlo Better defender / Max approaching equal volume as Dlo /...
Exactly. Vuc a much higher volume 3 pt shooter than Rui. This trade is the type of trade that would kind of make everybody happy. The Kessler...
The cleanest trade the Lakers could make to satisfy AD would be something like Rui + Wood + 2029 1st (top-14 protected) + 2025 Lakers 2nd to...
Not sure if this has been mentioned, or if it even matters. But, I wonder if AD has spoken with Lebron about Lebron moving to the 3. I feel that...
I'm not a fan of BI. He's another ball stopper. We have too many of those guys already. I think it's rediculous that people keep mentioning BI and...
Well he's a higher volume 3 pt shooter and better rebounder than Rui, I give him that. But with that said, I still wouldn't want him. His 3...
Yeah, the Stepian rule. Before the trade, their only 1st in the next few years was 2031, and it's not tradable.
Maybe something to do with the Stepian rule.
Yeah, savvy trade by Ainge. I previously proposed removing our pick protection for one of those firsts. Maybe Ainge would still be interested in...
In terms of what we need. It would be an improvement. I'm not suggesting we trade AR. He would still be on the team. In the big picture, we would...
Also, LaVine (30 years old), Kessler (23.5) > AD (32) , Reaves (26.75). Arguably better combination. I know it may sound ridiculous that Kessler...
A huge benefit of the 3 team trade scenario I posted above is that Utah would get two of Chicago's picks instead of our picks. This way, we could...
I understand what you are saying regarding the DLO/AR issue. In this scenario, I would put LaVine at small forward, and leave Max at shooting...
They could kind of do sort of a half-a** rebuild. The trade I posted above kind of initiates that. AD just might request a trade after the season.
Three-team trade has the Lakers getting Zach LaVine, Walker Kessler, and Bulls second-round picks in 2030 and 2031. The Bulls receive Anthony...
Yeah, good point regarding Rui. Also, yeah it seems like they are very high on Traore. First, they chose him over Castleton, now basically him...
Yeah, I feel like both Wood and Hayes could be on the way out.
We couldn't compete for that Richards trade. Just don't have equal value for that. Only negative for Charlotte is they took back more salary....
Question: Is removing the protection from our 2027 first-round pick owed to Utah worth anything in terms of draft capital? Utah has a boatload of...
