OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JUNE 2024

Time for NY to see if they can swap Randle for something else - and they are serious...

 

Why isn’t Adebayo mentioned in the “could have had them” convo? We traded up and drafted Collins instead.

I wanted Adebayo that year.

FWIW I think Clingan will be alright but I don’t really care much about anyone this year.

I also wanted Terrance Ferguson…

Terrance 2k

OG was in the ‘17 draft class as well, 23rd.

 

Really happy we didn't trade for this dude. I get that he's a really good defender..... but not for that kind of money.

 

I agree this might be an overpay unlike Bam who was not

 

Just out of curiosity, when people make these emotionally driven statements, how do you think an organization is run? You do get that there is a room filled with highly qualified intelligent people who work on these things together, yes? He is not sitting by himself making phone calls, looking for deals. Sorry, this sort of thing just really annoys me. Joe Cronin is a sharp dude and a thoughtful communicator, which are the two ingredients to being a good leader. They're fine.

 

But they did win a title with Howard.

 

LOL yeah I was talking about the Melo year (2022?)... not the year they had good role players then decided to trade them for Westbrook.

 

I might have taken a flyer on him with 40. Looked ok his rookie year, still young.

 

This did make me laugh. I like laughing about the Lakers doing stupid stuff.

 

Always my hope with every mention of deals!

 

Bummer. I would've liked to take a flier on Davion (assuming Ant is moved) as a backup PG in the event that Jerami went to the Kings.

 

Fucking gross… well, probably not fucking but definitely gross

 

Bronny averaged 4 points a game on 37% shooting. The Lakers are cooked. Portland should pry Austin Reeves away before Showtime implodes.
