    Back where he started his career.

    He was a nice backup big I would've liked to have on the team if we were trying to win. He goes back to the team we got him from in Cleveland.

    Nuts we still owe the pick to acquire him - and potentially for 3 more years until 2028.

    Interesting .... so potentially a team with a center is trading with a 3rd team - and then the center might get rerouted to the Lakers.

    So probably only would fit with us/Grant if it means Grant could go to a 3rd team for a center who then goes to the Lakers.

    Maybe Grant to the Bulls and Vucevic to the Lakers? Vucevic doesn't really seem like a Luka type player nor the defender they need though.

    Claxton makes sense to the Lakers but Brooklyn doesn't fit as a Grant destination.

    Maybe Grant to the Bucks and Kuzma/Portis to the Lakers?

    A center..... that doesn't make much sense.

    Maybe that Lakers center deal gets wrapped up into the MPJ trade

    No picks given up. Hell yeah, I'd do that. Don't see why the Nets do. They get screwed.

    We take on Vanderbilt deal and they get Timelord expiring.

    You may be right though - maybe the Nets need more. If we really think MPJ is a legit piece we send them the Orlando pick.

    No. I meant they won’t be as high as 2 again. In other words, I don’t think they are improved.

    He was an important part of Detroit’s resurgence.

    The rumor on the radio was a center coming from a 3rd team - it wasn't a direct two team trade.

    Also no NBA team is rolling with Timelord as their starting center. He probably not even able to slot in as a backup anywhere - but might as 3rd string.

    I’m thinking anywhere from 3-9. Also, hardly any team is ever healthy so I include the fact that they will have injuries.

    I still figured they'd sign Ayton.

    Could be a bidding war with Indy.

    If the rumors are true, the Lakers don't want contracts with more than 2 years. Just rule out JG.

    The biggest stories remaining are

    Giannis
    Lebron
    Lillard
    Horford
    Ayton
