Lakers fans discussed that he has had some stress fractures in his foot. They speculated that X-Rays revealed issues there.
Apparently teams are allowed to conduct very thorough examinations including MRI/X-Ray imaging in the post-trade medical exam, which his team physicians may have not done...
Not really ludicrous. Clippers switched bigs on Key and drew him inside all game. And his transition defense is as close to zero resistance as you ever see in the league.
I like him but that doesnt stop me from seeing the warts.
Key's offense is not morphing into anything nor was it much worse in this game than it is on average. He did have few ugly dribble turnovers when driving inside which lead to fast breaks... but thats maybe -6 or something like that for his box.
Main reason for Key's -39 was due to the fact that...
He averaged 7.5 APG in January in 28.8 mpg, and now in February so far 10.0 APG in 32.2 mpg. And this all comes with the starting lineup fluctuating a lot around him, making it even more impressive.
He will finish top 5 if he keeps up his current level of play.
What a dumbass take. Lauri is Klay, not Steph.
He isnt carrying his team through playoff series by himself. He is the guy who supports the #1 and can save games if your #1 is having a bad game. His main thing however is to be a threat that cannot be ignored, which disallows other teams to just...
This is where the actual cruelty of this business lies.
Dennis Schroeder or whoever vet bitching about modern day slavery becaue they have to move their family to another location is just them being snowflakes. Sure its not fun, but companies also relocate their offices or workers and those...
One thing to note though:
Last two deadlines DA sold from the middle of the roster, and this year he only sold from the bottom.
You can argue "value wasnt there", but was it really that great last two years? I would say "tank" was more important than "value" past two DLs.
So is this a change...
If we win the lotto, the outlook for 2025-26 and beyond is drastically different than if we get the 5th pick for instance.
FO will make moves accordingly, which then impacts team success.
Impossible to tell now, as this whole DA "flexibility" approach literally means keeping all paths...
Intersting that this year Ainge didnt really try to force and move the needle. Last two seasons its clear he gutted some parts of the roster and not all of them were "great value moves".... but this time he didnt do that.
Last year I read somewhere that a trade needs to be submitted before the deadline, but they need to confirm each deal before they release them to the transaction wire.
