I think I'm now moving on the Jarrett Allen train. I don't see any star level trade happening.
- Trae & Lavine would decimate the team to get to $44 mil
- Mitchell would require a lot of picks going out, and I think he will just stay
- Dejounte Murray doesn't get done without AR. And the Lakers...
DFS is a risky bet as a shooter.
3 really bad seasons to start his career as a shooter. 3 pretty good to follow. And 2 mediocre/bad seasons in 22-23 / 23-24
But I do think it may be giving up too much with 17 attached. DFS also doesn’t move me that much. So maybe it’s me
If…. Hurley is the guy.
I think it increases the likelihood they pick and keep 17.
Doesn’t mean if a good deal hinges on trading 17 that they decline.
But hiring a college coach and in the face of the new CBA, where you need homegrown guys and cheap contributing salaries, hiring a college coach...
I think he will get some level of chance past this contract. Definitely with another team, but because DH is all 30 now, there will be a couple teams that would bring him in if he's cheap. Where as if this was 2000, 2027 probably would be the end.
133 more seems like a lot. But with how he...
Just for debates sake.
For Stanton to get into the Hall of Fame, not first ballot. Just eventually. What’s the HR total?
500? 550? 600?
Everyone over 500 falls into 4 categories.
-In already.
-Steroid allegations (Bonds, ARod, McGwire, Palmiero, Manny),
-not eligible yet (all those guys are...
Then what’s the plan?
It’s pretty much the same thing.
Lakers thread: “We gotta get rid of DLo”
What’s the plan?
Trading DLo for Wendell Carter Jr is not an idea.
Question: Was DLo the only reason they lost, or were there bigger issues or even just other issues?
Was every single player (except for AD) a reason they lost?
If that’s the case, then you figure out what/where you can upgrade at.
backup 5, rebounding, a wing with size. Those are all things...
It won’t happen.
DLo, Rui, Gabe, JHS combined is $2.5mil short. Even if they signed 17th pick and sent it over to match salaries.
It’s $176mil with 8 players. And not even with Max yet. If they fell short salaries, it isn’t a legal trade. Because they’d have $3 mil to fill 4 spots, which isn’t...
That’s where you split DLo & AR’s playing time. Find a 2 you like or a 3 you can play at the 2.
The option of trade 3 picks and 3 players is doing the same thing they did for Westbrook.
You have to remember, if you’re trading DLo, you can only look at salary less than his. And clear upgrades...
Him being the PG next year.
Every other option is either creating one hole to fill another. Or trading most of everything to try swim against the CBA current.
Doocy always tries to play gotcha and every time gets destroyed. It’s hilarious because whenever he asks a question in the press room there’s always a collective groan.
