Why do teams just help the Lakers with trades like these? Geez it is like some teams act as farm systems for them.

Understood, but remember when we basically gave the Lakers Derek Fisher for free? That really bothered me. San Antonio seems like a team that would bend over backwards not to let that happen. I think we should have done better in that situation.

I'm not quite that far down on Mike. there is a scenario where we lose JC and Mike becomes the super sub... and all the Conley homerz will do the I told ya so.

Only if our FO and Mike would be okay with Mike coming off the bench. Every single sign told us that we were better with Mike in the 2nd unit this year. We still started him. Denver simply switched to a smaller, better defending PG and we lost 3 straight.

I agree that Mike could be great off the bench. I just don't see us doing that. And, after this season, Mike probably walks.
 
Rumours starting to surface about Harden going to Philly in a trade involving Simmons. That would mean one of my most disliked teams (Houston) loses one of my most disliked players (Harden) to one of my most disliked teams (Philly) only for him to be replaced by one of my most disliked players (Simmons).
 
Small trade idea... Danny Green is a real possibility... Spurs ties so might have overlapped with Dennis and Quin. Say they do him a solid and send him to us for all the expirings we can cobble together... Ed, NWG, Tony, Niang and we add #23... they give Green and #28 (assuming someone is there that they like I guess). Adds some wing depth and forces us to get a better backup center.

I think that was a front office thing. Either way it was bad. I think they wanted to preserve trade value and I think that was part of the Joe extension (hey we give some money you be cool about coming off the bench).

He isn't coming back next year either way so I would use him how I think is best.

That was like the weirdest day and none of the local media guys pressed anyone on it... so disappointing.
 
Danny Green really fell off a cliff last year. He was great in Toronto, but his percentages were ghastly in LA. Are we sure that this was situational, or is the fact that he's 33 now relevant? I'd hope DL would have a good sense of that before we cashed in on him.

That seems very reasonable.

Ed Davis - $5
Bradley - $3.54
Niang - $1.78
NWG - $1.52
TOTAL: $11.84

Danny Green: $15.37

If we had to, we could include Tucker ($1.52).

Did he... played 25 minutes a night on the best team in the league... they were better with him on the court than off the court.

They were +16.2 better with him on the court in the playoffs even though his shot wasn't great.

He's slowed down but he's still really useful for 20 minutes a night.
 


So Dunn will be an unrestricted free agent... @infection should be pleased by this. I've wanted Harrison for a while and this makes it more likely they retain him so that sucks.

Umm, we should definitely be going after Dunn. I think he did the best job guarding Mitchell than anybody else. We could use a lockdown defender like him. What is his projected deal looking like? I’d take him over Clarkson.
 
Robin Lopez is opting out of $5M... that feels like a mistake to me. Maybe he has a BAE somewhere he can play but I doubt he gets $5M. Maybe he's had enough of Brook's ****.

Great, we have a roster loaded with players ready to fall off a cliff at any moment and what do we do? Let's add a player who's already fell off a cliff. Let him show Joe, Mike, and Bojan how to fall properly I guess

Compared to the Korver, JC and Hill, I have no issue with the Fisher deal. He really was crucial in helping us make a deep run in the postseason. All we paid for to acquire his service was worth it.
 
We need as many bench pieces as we can get... Even if they are just filling 10min a night. Just so we can avoid the possible disaster of running a six man rotation with Ingles and Royce getting 35 minutes apiece
