Unprotected from the Suns and Heat, two teams guaranteed to pick in the 22-30 range? Yeah, no thanks, not for taking on Robinson and Shamet's bad contracts.

Miami really should send Jovic. $75 million is a LOT of bad money.

To take on all of Robinson's bad money, I'd need their pick to be farther out. I'd at least want Butler to get older before the pick conveys, because they'll still be contenders this year. I still think it's a bad idea regardless.

Trade might be dead for now, according to Windhorst.

Shamet’s contract is fine. I’d love to see a better deal where we get two 2023 1sts or better than you can come up with.
It hadn't occurred to me that the Lakers might actually be so stupid as to think this Westbrook **** might work out.

Never underestimate the power of idiocy in a groupthink situation.
Did they watch any of last season? At all? It's one of the biggest disasters in basketball I have ever seen.
But it's fine, not only do players get better at 33 years old, they become players they've never been even at their zenith.
Keep the cap space and sign good players.

They traded for him to begin with. Lakers' brass is not a box full of geniuses.
This way of thinking usually works out...
You can't have Bev and Russ on the court at the same time, just like you can't have Lucas III and Garcia on the court at the same time.

That worked out real well for the Knicks when they decided not to trade RJ Barrett but to extend him. Just enjoying the show. Can somebody pass the nilla wafers and fancy cheese?
