2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

I’m kind of happy Beal ended up with the Clippers instead of the Bucks or another team. We can count on them to flame out as usual.

 

Smart makes a lot of sense, and then we could package Gabe + Kleber for another 2 way wing

That would improve the roster substantially.

not sure if he'd join us though given that he was an iconic player for the C Bags.

 

Nobody cares about C Bags Lakers when he’s trying to get paid. It doesn’t matter for smart.

it didn’t matter for Rondo. And it didn’t matter for Avery Bradley.

 

I’m just glad Lebrons back. I told y’all he would come back. Now we can get rid of those stupid trade rumors. Buyouts.

you can’t replace. 24 8 and 8. It’s a great luxury to have.

helps Luka.

flat out Luka needs to be MVP Luka and we’ll be fine.

14 and 10 from Ayton control the paint. Importantly rebound. Be a presence. Dunk and lob when the lob is there. And make the mid range shot when it’s given to you. If we do that.if he does that we win a championship.

Hielo Aou just play defense.

yall might not notice but Shai is actually older then Luka. Shais 27 Lukas 26.

We are closer to OKC with our youth than people think.

Aytons 26. Hachimura is going to have a big season for us.

 

Trade for Smart and sign either Dame or CP3 and call it.

that should work out player wise, like how many we have on the roster

 

porque no los dos?

but yeah, some similarities.

 

Waiting for a Smart buyout

 

A dumb one would be OKAY for me!!!

 

Knect just has to man up. I think he’s over the trade. Hes just what he is a Duncan Robinson. A Dan Marjlie. A Rex Chapman you hope.

I don’t see early Mike Miller. He has to be set with his shot. I like that he’s putting the ball on the floor more in summer league.

You cant evaluate him with guys who are going to be working at Burger King.

evaluate him with AD when he had that spacing he made 8 threes in a game.

he’ll get looks with Luka Ayton and Lebron on the floor.


Our issue last season in the playoffs was JJ Reddick. Hopefullys he’s learned. His in game adjustments were terrible in game 1 and 4. he cost us not playing his bench and getting out physicaled. So part of this is on him to.

 

So did Rondo

 

Deter players from getting deep in the paint

Alter shots with his length

Pull down key rebounds

 

Meh..You'd have to post em all, because I made a gang of post about H-Town hustle. He's a local kid, I knew about him in HS. (Like Vando and Fox).

I just found the Caruso cult around here, rather amusing at times. Lecturing me about Alex, is akin to my neighbor, trying to tell me who my brother really is!

No..I still wouldn't have eaten a 35M tax bill, to sign Alex to a 10M contract either. That take remains the same today too.

 

I remember that contract. Remembered when he was signed 5 yrs. 44 million that was a big contract back then.

 

yep just do your job.

 

Cameron Payne is another option they should be considering at POA

 

Well here’s one thing if Ayton is in that game against Gobert he’s putting down 15 on him and at least get 12 rebounds.

Gobert isn’t going 17 points 21 rebounds.

Ayton was putting 20 on Anthony Davis and he’s the best defensive big in the league.

So I’m looking at 28 points 14 rebounds against Gobert Claxton is supposed to be the beast on defense that we wanted to trade Assets for and Ayton put 35 points and 13 rebounds on him.

so there’s a clear difference when we have a big like Ayton against a team like the Twolves just making those bigs work on defense which will make them worst on offense. And we know Randle is a horrible defender.

So there’s just a difference. Rui is in his right spot. Does Ayton pull that rebound down and take an extra possession away from Minnesota??? So there’s alot.

I still want another big. And I don’t think yall see what I’m saying. I want Ben Simmons cause he can kind of solve a couple things for us. Be a backup Center for Ayton if we don’t want to go with Hayes. Do some POA be a perimeter defender. Play some point guard off the bench help Vincent and Bronny. Don’t put so much on them.

He can distribute with the bench. And in 4th Quarter you’re gonna need some of his perimeter defense guys like Jaylin Williams Anthony Edwards.

hes 6-10” with Wingspan. At the veterans minimum it’s a steal.

 

I'd take Horford too, but I definitely wouldn't complain, if we " settled " for Simmons.
