Why would he only be a 1.5 season rental? That may be his contract length and he very well could depart as a FA in 2018 but to declare him a...
There are numerous examples throughout the years of teams making - or trying to make - deadline moves just to help them make the playoffs. I...
You misunderstood my question. I got your point about why you think the top teams/contenders might not go after him. I'm asking why you think that...
You reference the top teams/contenders but why exactly do you feel a team that is "just" a playoff-contender wouldn't want him?
I don't think it's just a title contender who'd pursue him. I think teams fighting for the playoffs would want him as well, assuming they have a...
I think Charlotte/Detroit could trade their 2017 1st rounder to help them make the playoffs. The latter has already indicated they want to make...
Can't wait for the day we can similarly swap contracts for Ingram and Deng :Brows:
I made a trade idea in another thread involving Detroit and Lou, explaining why they'd be interested in him. That idea was Ish Smith + 2017 1st...
I agree that neither Ball or Smith look as good as Russell overall. Russell was a stud pre-draft, #2 pick for a reason. I'd just rather have...
Yes! Of course 20 pounds of muscle and not the type of pounds I put on during holiday season :Hungryfordoom:
I was joking around with Oak about the "one thing". We've known each other from the other board for years, so it probably didn't read that way to...
I'm with you. Swaggy has bounced back big time this season. Gotta respect that.
Unlikely a team gives up a young 3 & D guy for Young. Young only does one thing, so likely the Lakers only get back a player who does one thing haha
That's why the Lakers should shop him so they don't lose him for nothing as a free agent. That's also why they should shop Lou. While not a free...
A few weeks ago Johnson had his work ethic questioned by Stan Van Gundy, who also made other comments about him just needing to get better. When...
@abeer3 The Warriors (Curry, Klay, Barnes, Draymond etc) and Thunder (KD, Russ, Ibaka, Adams, Roberson etc) built their teams by stockpiling...
This very well could be true. What makes it even more exceptional is that he was drafted right after Damian Jones and Deyonta Davis. I admittedly...
Assuming the Lakers can net a 1st round pick in the deal, it is the best move to trade Lou because it frees up playing time for the younger...
It's Samaki Walker :Magic Brows:
While I get your point, it wasn't necessarily about "scratching and clawing their way into improving their games" for those guys but more so...
