    that would be a weird move considering that part of what vaulted them to contender status was 48mpg of solid center play from him and lively. not sure why they'd mess with that formula right now, tbh.

    Bigs continue to be undervalued league-wide for some reason. Yeah..go find another" perimeter defender "! That's the ticket! They can have Finney-Smith back if they want imo.

    Kidd retaining that Lakers path to dynasty of breaking it up the next year gambling Dwight will understand and have patience …. and on paper coming back with something even better? Gasol >> McGee and strong perimeter D for Dallas is now more important than the good-great 2 Bigs tag team?

    He plays defense, rebounds the ball, is an excellent shot blocker... will give you something like 12/7 and 2 blocks on hustle only. No need to run anything for him. That's the kind of player we could use, and he could play with AD too.

    Nick Richards debut yesterday with the Suns:
    21 Pts
    11 Rebs
    7-8 FG
    +22 (team high)
    Booker complimenting the quality of his screens

    Shocking...who would have thought?
    Amazing get for them

    There's always these guys like Richards, Gafford, Bitadze and so on who are lost in some bad team's squad depth and that can fit perfectly in contenders.
    Sharpe can be another one. Eubanks or Zach Collins could be serviceable. Although I guess we are going with our current guys based on what JJ said when talking about Jemison.

    On the guard side of this, Cole Anthony is the one. But he would compete for minutes with Gabe, who we are probably happy with now, he's been playing better and looks like a coach's favorite for the way JJ sees the game.
    But we do really need shot creation. JJ doesn't seem to like Milton. If Cam Johnson goes to the Cavs for LeVert, he would be a great fit for us.
    Fontecchio, Saddiq Bey, Alec Burks or Bones Hyland from our neighbors provide a scoring punch too.

    But yeah, none of these guys move the needle. They just might be able got cheap while addressing one of the 2 glaring needs of this roster. I'm more and more convinced we won't do a smaller move like this. We probably only do a trade if it's for a bigger fish, including with the center position

    Curry left Saturday's 122-114 win over the Wizards with 1:05 remaining in the fourth quarter after appearing to tweak his left ankle, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports

    He appeared to misstep and tweaked his left ankle, apparently, and he limped his way to the locker room shortly after. This is a tough blow for Golden State, especially with Draymond Green leaving after just three minutes of this game with calf tightness.

    clips will be going for the mega beatdown tonight. they always play their best games against us, and lue's vendetta knows no bounds. get ready for some offensive scheme that basically finds reaves on every single possession no matter what.

    I think I dislike him more than Beardo McFloppington at this point in time.

    If we don't at least make an offer for Vucevic, Rob should relieved of his duties. I really like Rui, he has a great life story too, but Vucevic is the superior player, and a better fit for this team IMO.

    They were just mocking us with the GTDs because we always have AD and Bron in the injury reports.
    Pretty funny to be honest

    Not having a legit center after winning the bubble with bad a** combo of legit 5's is getting annoying.
    How many times does any 5 with some of junk in his trunk push Hayes around like he's a twig will the Lakers finally get a real big man.
