    Although free agency started a bit early this year, now that it’s midnight EST, it is apparently the official start of the new NBA year.

    Which means:

    Kyrie is telling everyone his priority right now is going to the Lakers. I think we can accommodate him. Yes, he’s a huge question mark mentally… but he’s an elite shooter, a constant 50/40/90% threat and a great ballhandler. Significantly better fit than Bricklayer.

    Damn! Thought with the timing it might've been a cash grab that just got leaked a day or two too early. But that does not look to be the case.

    Hitting a woman is never OK. Doing it with kid(s) in the house makes you a piece of s***. Hopefully they get their distance and he gets some help and guidance.

    I was meh at best before. But after our free agency, it almost feels like we put ourselves in a corner where we have to get Kyrie + parts (Harris, Seth, or 3rd team) whether that was intentional and we knew what was in transit... well, we'll see.

    We might get Seth too? That’s awesome if it happens because this team needs the outside shooting

    I liked Bryant before when he was with us.

    A hard hell no to Lamb until we clear up some of our 6-5 and under logjam.

    I'll take Bryant. Think he gets more elsewhere and we're better off but wasting our time.

    This is great news. Finally targeting people who make sense and fit well with the team. Enough with the old guys who can’t handle minutes, or play defense, while not really being able to shoot consistently either.

    Let’s try to make that deal deal for Kyrie and... Seth, if possible? Those guys CAN shoot for sure.

    No more guards!

    Yes, I should have clarified, I was saying I liked the 2 shooting bigs here, not Lamb.

    That is my hope, that our roster building so far has been accounting for a Kyrie + parts for Russ + Nunn or THT trade.

    The problem with our perimeter signings not being great shooters, is that their lack of spacing would be even louder playing alongside Russ. But now if you replace Russ with Kyrie, and add another elite shooter like Harris or Curry to the mix, suddenly Walker/Brown’s lack of shooting isn’t a big deal. We would just need them to provide some energy and defense.

    So I’m hoping we’re not gambling that Kyrie and another piece are coming, but that we’re actually confident that it’s happening. Like we already have an agreement with Brooklyn on the main framework, and are just hammering out some details that don’t project to be deal breakers.
