    Probably Lakers.
    But also probably both teams.
    Lakers want to keep Drummond.

    Unless Drummond is signing for 3 million I can’t see that happening.

    I know Drummond said he won’t sign for that amount but he may not be in for the pay day he anticipates. Especially after his performance against the suns.

    I dislike Kuzma and the slim chance that Nurk goes to LA and turns into an unstoppable force that helps them win another championship makes me sick.

    I would. Ugh.

    Kuzma is overpaid and unaccomplished. Nurk is our starting center on a reasonable contract with no clear replacement (I like Kantner, but we know he's got issues in many matchups).

    Why would Portland do this?

    Remember when Ben told Nurk “you talk a lotta shit for someone who plays like ass” a couple season ago during a game in Philly? That would be interesting lol

    Simmons/1st for CJ
    Kuzma/1st for Nurk

    I don’t like Kuzma but what’s Nurk worth? If they hire MDA…

    Dame/Ant
    Powell/CJ2
    RoCo/Nas
    Kuzma
    Simmons/Zach

    Plus 2 1s to fill out the roster. That’s definitely a MDA roster. Honestly I don’t like it. Looks like a 6-7 seed.

    In a Simmons for CJ trade we'll be lucky to get away without having to throw in one of our future firsts... they're not giving us theirs.

    Daryl Morey’s philosophy is predicated on good 3 point shooting and scoring easy buckets in the paint. McCollum is a mid range guy. I’m not sure he fits Morey’s prototypical style.

    Dude takes almost 9 3’s a game and makes 40%. How many more 3’s do you have to take and make to qualify in “good 3 point shooting” category? Lol

    Wait I’m confused, why are the 6ers giving up 2 young All-Defense guys for a borderline guy that’s never made an All-NBA or been an all star and a guy that fell out of a team’s rotation again? My bad for getting confused, it’s been a long day.

    IDK, why are we giving up shooters for nonshooters?
    Thy: 30.1%
    Simmons: 30.0%
    for
    CJ: 40.2%
    DJJ: 31.6%

    It brings up an intriguing question: What is more important in the modern NBA, Defense or 3 point shooting?
    I think you have to have both, but 3 point shooting is likely more important.

    So, maybe they should add a 1st rounder :)
