2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

LMAO at the Lakers desperation to get AD. No longer willing to bid for AD, but they are awaiting the Pels counter-offer.... AKA "Fine we don't want him!!!" (whispers- but we do though). Then a report comes out that they are looking into the possibility of Trevor Ariza. Uh oh Pels, you're in trouble... They are going to go get Ariza instead!
 
Scottie Pippen just said that Zion Williamson is the best prospect since Michael Jordan. Um... hot take. Very hot. Made me laugh out loud. Anthony Davis? LeBron James? AI? I mean I like Zion but, no.

A Michael Jordan who got drafted 3rd in his own draft and never had a winning season without Pippen.

LeBron is the biggest prospect probably in the history of the NBA. People were talking about him when he was 14 like he was the next great one. Lew Alcindor (Kareem) was pretty big too, but in a different era of sharing information.

There’s going to be a bidding war for Ricky?

If we don’t end up trading him, then we clearly have the inside track to re-signing him.

Why would we want to use any of our cap space on re-signing Rubio?

Good point. I would love to bring Rubio back using our MLE. But that means we are an over the cap team. I'm fine with that as long as we stay under the luxury.
 
I still hope the Conley deal falls through. Jazz get a great pick and everyone wants to win it all his sophomore year...Conley only makes sense if your pushing to win now. Conley does not love the needle enough for the jazz to win a ship. Period. So while we are locked in to a behemoth contract for the remainder of Donovan’s rookie contracts and have no ability to make smart and calculated moves we will be hands tied and reminded how we jumped into bed with the first girl to look our way. I will stand firmly in my belief that the jazz should be cautious on this one.

Pippen is full of ****

How are we not trying to win now? Conley absolutely moves the needle to where opposing defenses actually have to defend the PG position and respect his shot making ability. Other than Conley's high salary your entire take is hot garbage.
 
No Gasol but MEM leading MIN 25-9 in Q1.
They have now 6th worst record in the league and every L counts.
There is a chance they can still win some games and lose their top-8 protected draft pick to BOS.

So you think that the current team with a Conley trade can beat the rest of the west?
