    He's been terrible the last few years: the 3 pt jumper disappeared like AD's but he's well not AD

    brogdon would be an improvement over dlo, but he's way too injury prone

    What??? The disrespect. Jordan was one of the best defenders at guard of all time.

    No to LaVine in all scenarios. Just keep this team together- they have a real chance at the Chip this season.

    I've seen this story before. Player finds their 3 ball. Injury. Loses shot again. Little concerned TP's knee is flaring up again. Usage problem? Maybe cut the minutes, Ham.

    Is is it tampering if Lebron texts Steph about moving down South?

    we don't want LaVine nor his contract. i have a friend who's a Bulls fan in Chicago; watches him every game. Not the biggest fan. Too many questions: health, defense, attitude? no thanks.

    Grant? For $32 million? Man, that's a lot. I think we can make a smaller move. Bogdanovic (Detroit) is making $20 million (he's 34) has 2 years left, etc. Scored 33 the other day against Philly (Philly blowout), but he could be rounding into form after his injury (calf strain kept him out for multiple games).

    Just a thought.

    Markkanen im a big fan but doesn't seem like a great for for the Lakers. He's a 4 and that where Lebron, Rui, Wood, Hayes, even AD can play.

    Doesn't really fit a need either

    could see playoff teams give up a protected 1st or multiple 2nds for olynyk or clarkson.

    can't see anyone biting on sexton.

    is utah willing to max out markannen when the time comes. if so, keep him. they'll love him in utah forever, for...reasons...

    but if not, they better move him while his value is high. you can get high lotto type picks and/or prospects for him right now, imo.

    they're stuck with collins unless they want to just shuffle deck chairs/break his contract into smaller parts.

    Cleveland gave 5 picks and Markannen for Mitchell.

    They're not going to trade him easily.

    Well it was Danny Ainge he's kind of crazy with picks..and trades.
    During the 18-year period he’s led the C Bags (2020-21 is season 18), Ainge has made 63 trades. That’s more than any other front office executive during the same timeframe. His willingness to deal earned Ainge the “Trader Danny” moniker.

    Mitchell ain't Lavine or even Beal - he's 27 years old and in his prime. Cleveland is going want more than what the Lakers can offer and they'll get it from some team.

    So much for big trio
    LOL

    Phoenix guard Bradley Beal suffered an ankle injury of the right leg in the match with New York

    Beal was injured on a four-point play when Donte DiVincenzo got underneath him. He subsequently exited the game after making a free throw and will not return.
