New CBA has inflated the trade value of guys like Murphy, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby. And completely killed the value of guys like Zion, Ja, and Trae.
The Warriors screwed themselves by being reluctant to trade their young guys to try and win now. And then none of those young guys ended up being good.
Before the year people on twitter were trying to argue with me, saying Ament was a similar player to Ace, boy hell nah.
Ace is so much more of a fluid mover / coordinated.
Ament is loppy as hell and his jumper is broke.
That's the one guy that I absolutely do not want.
He's just a weird fit with our roster unless we're going to keep Kessler (or add another C) and are committed to playing Lauri at the 3. He's way too soft on the glass to be the full time starting 5.
The last thing the Lakers need is another guy that wants the ball in his hands and plays 0 defense, lol.
I can't even imagine watching Luka - Reaves - LeBron - Zion playing together.
I'd make a call on Austin Reaves, obviously with his salary we wouldn't be able to send a lot back but we could entice them with draft capital if Reaves is willing to extend with us.
Blew up a #1 seed with two superstar players
4-5 years of misery
Held onto vets too long that cost us a chance at Wemby
Traded those vets for the Lakers 2027 pick
Helped the Lakers get Luka thus destroying the value of the 2027 pick
Have 3 picks in a 2027 class which looks historically bad
On...
It wouldn't be an Ainge rebuild season without three washed vets that have zero value on the court, zero trade value, and don't want to be on the team.
