    yeah, again…I am curious of the buyout market right now. I’m not expecting a GAME CHANGER, but maybe some better bench options are helpful.

    This season is so cooked. Klay, Kennard, Gordon?

    ROFL. We're so done.

    We just disagree, and that’s fine. No team with defensive stats like we have makes noise in the playoffs. We may get the 5th spot with some luck and outscoring teams for sure, but in the playoffs we’ll get exposed same as last season. We’re a little better than last season, but so are the teams at the top.

    lol Lebron keeps on trucking playing like an All-star and people are surprised these former prized FA's are even alive

    I agree too. So why send our only pick to maybe win a round in the playoffs?

    It isn't just that; they dont' watch other games.

    That's fine. Just know what you're getting.

    Thats what 3&D wings go for, at least one first. We don’t have enough to get any others unless I guess we wait for the summer and send out 2 for Herb Jones. Is he really worth that though? Wiggins is proven, he had a case for finals MVP when they won, that’s a nice piece to add going forward. We aren’t doing it though so it’s moot.

    Be prepared for Dalton to turn into prime Peja the second that happens.

    Agreed. Athletic slasher who finishes above the rim, great length, not a bad defender, good size... will hit some threes here and there. OK move for both teams, makes sense.

    Would not be completely shocked to see a Kawhi trade in the next 40 minutes

    wonder if the clips try to pull off a last minute kawhi trade or if they wait until the offseason. unless he's fine with just playing out the rest of his career on a rebuilding clips team. he's made it pretty clear he'd prefer to be closer to home than anything else

    clips finally realized they need to recoup all those picks they traded away

    This is why I'm with @Weezy and you take your shots when you have them. Indiana is going to have halli back next and a top 5 picks, Siakam and a whole bunch of good roleplayers. Other teams are going from good to great and the Lakers have a real chance of being worse next year

    That is a good return for Zubac. I'm assuming Pacers still have their first this year
