    Oh man! I totally forgot that he died. That's crazy his son is coaching in the NBA...though in terms of coaching ability, from what's been posted it doesn't sound like the apple fell far from the tree.

    So, is everyone waiting for Davis to get moved before the other trades start coming in?

    The week of the deadline trades don’t usually happen until the last day. That’s why the timing of the Hood trade was interesting to me.

    If the Blazers make a move, I think it will be tomorrow.

    AG is 23 and will only get better. Ross would be a great sixth man. Get a little more under the tax.

    Dame
    Hood
    Hark
    Gordon
    Nurkic

    Curry
    Ross
    Layman
    Collins

    No thanks. CJ is worth more than Gordon, and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t really give two shits about trading him.

    I love how the lakers think adding all their trash instead of just some makes their offer better. Put it like this, if Dame wanted out and the Lakers offered us that package, I’d pass too. Not one of those guys scream all star potential to me. I don’t see Kuzma getting better. Ingram is more Wiggins than KD. Ball isn’t worth talking about.

    Portland should be trying to get in there

    What I'm most curious about the LAL offer is whether they'd be worse by getting rid of all those guys and having to find replacements OR if they'd be worse KEEPING some/all of those guys.

    I'd be tempted to say I want NOP to take their deal because I think there's a good chance it would kill LAL. Finding one or two replacements shouldn't be hard, but finding FIVE replacements would be tough. On the other hand, if NOP just took the picks + Zubac/filler, it would be hilarious to watch LAL continue to struggle with both LBJ and AD because of the general mediocrity of Ball/Kuz/Wiggins.

    Is that upping the ante from the “strong offer” the Blazers were reported as making for Gasol a week or so ago?
