    nope. I might do Bazemore & Trent for Gallo; and I might not. But I sure as hell wouldn't include a 1st. Gallo has missed 135 games over the last 5 seasons. He's only averaged 55 games. Let some other team send a 1st for him, if any will.

    That’s ok, I prefer my team to be ugly and nasty and not give one shit about Instagram.

    Wood just got waived by the Pelicans and I believe we should definitely give him a chance.

    They’re maybe the biggest starting lineup in the history of the game. They could win it all.

    Watching back game vs Clippers and had to clip this play.



    Dame's game is so precise and purposeful.

    CP3 supposedly wants to go to Miami. I wonder what the Heat would need to give up to get him.

    That was a ridiculous spin and pass by Dame. But it highlights a point that i've been saying for a bit now. Who will now be our automatic corner 3pt shooter?

    On the Simmons pod with Lowe (excellent listen btw), Bill yet again brought up the idea of how we have all these great assets to make the move for the next disgruntled superstar.

    He thinks we can get Beal and add him to our backcourt. I don't see it ever happening, but our backcourt would be unstoppable. Beal has swung to SF on occasion in Washington over his career. Maybe it can work.

    We would never ever swap CJ for Beal, although this would make sense as Lillard/Beal would be a better backcourt.

    CJ for Harris, and a bunch of assets for Beal would make perfect sense but again, I doubt it has any likelihood of happening.

    Simmons mentioned adding Beal to Dame/CJ. Not trading CJ for Beal.

    Seth is an elite 3pt shooter and none of the new guys are in his 45% class, but I think the difference can be made up by the fact that overall there’s improvement. First, it’s easy to overstate Seth’s importance due to his relatively low volume. He shot 45%, but only got 3.4 attempts per game. That equals 4.59 ppg on average. Guys like Hood, Hezonja, Tolliver, and Bazemore are all good 3 pt shooters. Harkless was dreadful last year. Chief was streaky as hell. ET was a disaster. It seems as though the difference in pts scored off of the 3 ball overall can be made up. But, yeah, I will miss Seth’s money stroke from the corner.

    Dragic/Johnson matches easily and saves OKC a ton.

    I never realized Beal was 6'5, 207 lb. And he has a 6'8 wingspan. Not great, but enough to play SF for half the game. Even CJ played SF for nearly 30% of his overall minutes last season. We'd need to put a really strong and long defender at PF who can swing down a position but I really wonder if this can work. Someone like Covington would be perfect.

    Dame/CJ/Beal/Roco/Nurk is a nasty lineup. Two of our three perimeter stars would be on the floor at all times. Offense would be unstoppable if everyone sacrifices touches.

    Yooooo



    Guess who has ways of opening up capspace next year. Would be the ultimate coup if Dame could land our first major free agent ever and get him away from LA. We all thought Kyrie was re-sign in Boston until this year.

    Chances that AD, signed with Lebrons agency, forced a trade to Lebron and the Lakers and leaves next summer are like 1 in a million...?

    So Im saying theres a chance.

    Two of Rich Paul's clients just fired him this weekend.

    Also, it's interesting you used "Lebron's agency." Thought he had nothing to do with it?

    I thought it was the SF, Hood and Baze, that would be in that spot. But, CJ or Collins could also be there.

    When did I say Lebron had nothing to do with it?
