2023 TRADE DEADLINE MEGATHREAD

[The_Jamal]

My gut says kings don’t do anything

I'd be disappointed, but would be downright mad if we made an all in move that included Keegan to try to keep up in this arms race.

 

[Ozymandias]

5 second round picks for Crowder holy

 

[iowamcnabb]

Things are starting to roll

 

[Tetsujin]

Wow 5 second round picks for crowder haha

The guy hasn't even played in a year lol. There's a good chance he's already cooked.

 

[LPKingsFan]

Yeah, that’s 5 more picks than games he’s played this year.

I hope Monte at least do a minor make. There is at least some moves that can be done with couple of 2nds.

And refusing to play all season long like he is some superstar.

Not if this Crowder deal just set the market for presumable rotation guys lol

 

[The_Jamal]

Jesus christ 5 2nds for Crowder. Absurd

7 2nds??1?1?1?1

Well considering they got Mirotic for 4 2nds.

Why are the Lakers trading Thomas Bryant? He was like their one good rotation player prior to the trade yesterday.

 

[Tetsujin]

These teams tossing out second rounders like candy. At this point there are only going to be like three teams selecting all the players in the next five drafts.

plan on playing Vandy at the 4/5?

Had to be exiled after calling for the ball with The Record on the line.

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Vandy that incapable of playing next to AD or Bryant though? Now the Lakers are screwed the next time AD gets hurt.

They traded him to open time up for Wenyen?!?!?!

 

[The_Jamal]

Classic Lakers. Get some good depth and then go immediately trade your AD backup who's been reasonably good

 

[Dongoodboy]

plan on playing Vandy at the 4/5?

Not bad for Laker's value-wise tbh. They probably have other moves or someone line up in the buyout market.

Poor Goga’s one highlight gonna be that time he tried fighting his own coach.

Both 1st and 2nds. It's gonna be Nets, OKC, NO, Hou, and Jazz making every other pick, lol

 

[ESP47]

Everyone smashing refresh as quickly as they can only to wind up with the inevitable breaking news that we've signed David Stockton to a 10 day G League contract.

 

[Tetsujin]

Gotta take a shower soon but I know the second I look away the Kings are gonna trade for SGA or something crazy

 

[Dongoodboy]

Goga Bitadze waived by Indiana, he got some hype but died off pretty fast after entering the league

 

[Ozymandias]

No, I'm comparing your reaction to this trade to how people reacted to Howard and Nash going to the Lakers. They were picked by everyone to cruise into the Finals and then the season started and they were actually mediocre.

I don't know what "prisoner of the moment" take means but if you actually think about these guys playing together not in a video game but on an actual court, it's not clear that this is going to work out. We played Phoenix once so far -- we lost by 5 pts with Devin Booker scoring 44 on 28 shots. Durant and Booker have to split the shots now which leaves less for everyone else and neither one is elite from three point range. Book is shooting 36.5% from deep on the season (slightly above his career average). Durant is shooting 37.6% from deep on the season (slightly below his career average). These guys are both mid-range assassins and now they have to share the floor together with less spot-up shooters to space the floor. They're both good enough that they should be able to find a way to make it work but it won't happen over night and they have just over 20 games left to figure it out together this season.

Actually nevermind your just going straight to the ignore list.


What I dont understnad about takes like yours is why dont you just say what your implyng --- "James Jones, the GM of the Suns, 3x NBA Champion, is a complete moron and I know basketball better!" N instead you try some roundabout way of making that point citing KEVIN FREAKING DURANTS 3PT PERCENTAGE, which, to me, seems really weak, lacking context and watered down in comparison.
