Yikes! This thing gets uglier

 

gotta love fake accounts sometimes

 

that hurts bro

 

that big dude's been coached well and has taken it well. you can tell he's not very coordinated (duh, he's giant), but he keeps those hands up and the ball up on the catch.

doubt he's an nba rotation center, but it's nice to see.

 

Ya , C Bags Mazula is genius as coach

 

Sign Adelman and bring back Vogel as his assistant, we’d have half of the Impractical Jokers on the staff!

 

yeah, it's like us with AD...except AD has actually been much healthier than embiid, despite the fan/media takes.

i think paul pierce has had a serious drinking problem for most of his adult life.

 

looks like a Rudy Gobert wannabe.

He's going to get 10 million a year in 4 years as a plethora of Wemby counters are going to do be in demand around the league

 

We should grab one of our own.

 

Go sh#t your pants again, fool!
Nobody cares what you think.

 

I saw a report somewhere that we are going to try to go after Lauri from the Jazz?

They'll want a haul, but I like the thought process there...

 

There’s no way Ainge is giving us Lauri.

 

He wouldn't be "giving" us anything. We would have to trade for Lauri. I think Ainge would negotiate with anybody once he left the C Bags. That was evident when he took on the Westbrook deal.

I think it comes down to assets and I don't think we have enough, but I like the thought process as I said. Correct player, good skillset, great fit.

 

not as sure here. he'd cost all of our assets and is basically a pf only (can't really play c or sf). we already have the issue that our two best players either are or would prefer to play pf.

markkanen would be a great okc target, but honestly, i don't see why utah bothers moving him unless they're getting a guy they think can grow into a better player than him going forward. that's the only trade to make. they can afford to pay him the max with their current salary structure, no problem, so that's not an issue. why trade a borderline allstar in his mid 20s for...even more draft picks?

 

Yeah, I simplified it.
Okay, here’s my edited response:”Ainge will not trade with us without him knowing that he fleeced us.”
The “Laker Tax” Multiplied by the “Laker C-Bag Rivalry Tax” is a very real thing.
You can get excited about the prospect of getting Lauri, but I only get excited about the trades that seem possible.

 

He got us off Russ' contract. In a GREAT deal for us.
That's just whining conspiracy theory

 

I want to vomit every time I watch Gafford. That Denver series was so close and that dude looks like exactly what you would want to throw at Jokic. It would have allowed AD to slide over and due what the Twolves did against Denver.

The fact the Lakers matchup up really well against everyone except Denver in these playoffs is real nausea producer. 1v1 post defense, rim protection, reboudning arrgh

 

yeah, ainge worked with us on the russ deal. fairly, imo.

but he a) doesn't need to trade markkanen and b) even if he did, he shouldn't want what we have to offer.
