    Meh..we'll monitor that take as the season goes along. Spencer had his share of brain farts here in his brief stint. Brk too, that's one reason he was waived.

    Russ over Spence on a vet min..hell yeah.

    Good..Demar the path to the Lakers is finally open. Klay recovered some of his bag, I ain't mad at him.

    While I am laughing that Clippers got screwed in Thunder-Clippers trade for Paul George, I sure wish Clippers gave Paul George that awful 4 year 212 million dollar contract

    Not sure if you'll stay with me for this part lol, but if we got Melton (or someone of that archetype) I'm fine with just keeping DLo for this year tbh. Once we have a reliable two-way option in the backcourt I'm comfortable sliding Reaves over to the 1 to close games. You get all the benefits of regular season/high end of variance DLo and aren't helpless when he inevitably struggles in the playoffs/against certain matchups.

    Get Grant and DeMar and then sign whoever else you can and I think we should be good with this team and JJ.

    still say Heild might be good for cheap off the bench, but I may be alone on that one, and it’s fine.

    Klay at 3/50 sounds a lot more reasonable

    I'd take that any day over Derozan, especially due to the horrible fit.

    I don’t really want to trade for Klay so the Mavs news doesn’t bum me out.

    This also likely means nobody was willing to take a DLo Salary Dump for the Lakers. DLo probably stays on this team until the trade deadline.

    Some guy claiming that it's illegal trade lol
    What Voj said is completely illegal.

    The contract of the player who is sent via the sign and trade must be at least three years old and should not include any options.

    This news indicates the player’s option, which means Clay cannot be sent via the sign and trade

    Please no to Derozan.

    35+ years old, no defense, and no 3pt range
