Yeah but at what price? Dude is saying they have value.

Slo mo? Sure, I'd take him, but he doesn't have value around the league. Same with Jaquez. Wiggins is okay but contract is a negative.

I like Jovic and Highsmith the most on that list.

Regardless, the only abundance the Heat have is mediocrity.

I would do Wiggins for Demar + a minor asset in a heartbeat

Yeah, I'd do that too. And the Heat probably look at that trade and ask for a minor asset instead of giving one. DeRozan isn't moving the needle for most any team.

I only see 3 names that I like.
And 1 name with potential upside who I wouldn't mind taking a look at.
And another name with potential upside who I wouldn't mind taking a look at, but only if we're desperate enough.

That’s what I was saying

At least he can’t randomly turn into KD against us anymore.

Did he speculate that he was signing with the Kings?

That tweet… sounds like a threat?

Clippers are running it back?

Now that’s a team that needs to blow it up. They just do the same ole crap every season

“Was he tanking games on purpose to hit the under?”
“No sir, it appears he’s just ass”

LMAO

LaRavia is solid … but I’m not losing sleep over it. Would have been like throwing a fit if Trey Lyles walked the other offseason.

I think LaRavia can be a lot more impactful on both ends when healthy but you aren’t wrong

1- sign max extension
2- suffer debilitating lower body injury

This is why people always look dumb when they try and crap on the Kings or any team for that matter, popping champagne about winning trades and doing victory laps as if all of this is guaranteed to continue. I remember Bibby and Webb going on Jay Leno’s show back in 02 after they got cheated out of a title, and Mike Bibby said “it’s alright cuz we have many more years of this” and that was that.

There was no more years quite like that one after that. One season has very little to do with the next, especially in this league and the current parity within it.

Man Portland better not give them timelord

I think you will find even average forwards have value. Kingsfans look at it as what is their cost versus their production. GM’s look at it in terms of scarcity and ability to find a replacement. Not many 6’8” guys in general. 6’8” guys who can move and shoot are even rarer. Look how quickly LaRavia got snapped up.

Don’t worry, he will play ten games and then sprain a toenail.

Chance I don’t wanna see happen his defense is still elite and Luka will do wonders with him on offense. Let them get Horford who isn’t a vertical threat

Don't feed the troll..

(Davion got snatched up faster)

D*****!

I feel for the Pacers fans. What if Tyrese didn't get injured? What if they closed out Game 4 better? A lot of things have to go well for a championship run.

Its really the injury in 7 based on how he looked keyed in early.....sad - was pulling for the Pacers. Good series. Not sure who's going to stop the Thunder next year, and their honeymoon is over.

 

[kingdivac]

What if Mathurin doesn’t miss twenty free throws in a row and foul a guy off ball two straight possessions? Insane stuff

Mathurin clearly not the brightest star in space. That flare-up in Cavs series was amusing though. HIs reaction time on the court looked poor even though very atheletic.

Don't know the guy but I can assume by agreeing to those terms he just really wanted to be a Laker. In two years when his contract is over the most the Lakers can offer is going to be around the $10m mark to start. He almost certainly left money on the table by not doing a 1+1 with the Kings if offered one since we would have had Bird rights and the odds of us not overpaying him if he stayed healthy this year are pretty slim.

Lakers will give him more visibility than being a King.

Sure but unless he signs some huge endorsement deals he reset his Bird rights and likely left 10-20m off the table after 25-26.

 

[serbiangoat]

So Memphis got rid of probably there best two way player to resign JJJ and Aldama to deal neither deserves.

If DaRon Holmes can comeback and as he was advertised Denver will be crazy deep and finally a backup for not only Jokic (Val)but for AG as well
