    Every year around this time in the season I can never remember if Amick or Amico is the more reliable one.

    I like the idea and its obvious who the team to ask about this is. OKC has more picks than they know what to do with.

    These two are the exact profile players you surround Luka with going forward!

    Amick is credible, Amico not so much. Further on the rumor

    It's a pipe dream but if the Lakers get Ellis and the Lakers can dump some of the dead weight that could open up space for Theiro to get minutes after he returns from injury. Ellis is on the smaller end but he'd slot in nicely if you're looking to stack defenders baseed on size/speed 1) Ellis for the shifty types, 2) Smart for the SGs/smaller SF's, 3) Laravia/Theiro for wings

    This is the kind of creative thinking I like seeing honestly. Going into the summer with extra picks, particularly if we have a known target, makes sense.

    I honestly have never seen the leverage the Kings would have in an Ellis deal. Ellis can just walk in the offseason. They should be open to any return they can get for him now as I can't imagine he would be interested in resigning with them.

    Actors playing roles. That's not... that crazy at all. Just not scripted. People are, indeed, playing roles most of the time.

    :Crazyartest: .... LOL abeer had me going to a dictionary a couple years ago when he suggested what a gamble it was with Kyrie who just might decide middle of some season to go off and live in a "yurt". :D
