Collier looks absolutely terrible and Flip looks doesn’t do it for me. Nothing stands out in his game for me.

I don’t think the Lakers are worried about the tax. They are worried about keeping Luka long term. They need to use Vincent for value not dump him and an asset for savings

You’re right. He might be

Until we identify our franchise player, why are we going to add another solid to pretty good player? We just dumped a few solid to pretty good players.

I always wanted Collins to here when we had Don and Rudy. Shame we got him after. He’s a good dude and deserves success. Best of luck to him.

Great trade creating more financial flexibility. I imagine Love gets waived. Anderson isn’t on a bad contract and our perimeter defense is awful. He’s a good defender, good guy vet who I wouldn’t be opposed to keeping around. But if we trade him, I’m fine with that too. Good job on this deal.

No. Y’all moved the goalposts and took my comments out of context. You know I was talking about our limited center Kessler but somehow twisted my comments to bring up Shaq and Hakeem. You can win a title with an average center but you can’t win without great wing play.

My whole original point was that it’s not a good idea to give an offensively limited center $30+. Then I made a comment that teams win titles built around wings and guards. That turned into a conversation about Shaq, Hakeem and Jokic (although that Denver team wins nothing without Murray...

He’s played for three seasons, and he’s been a solid player. He’s missed 50 games over the 3 years, but I acknowledge that he sat some for tanking purposes. Unless I’m missing something, his strength is defense and yet we have been rock bottom. Maybe his advanced statistics show amazing...

Mental gymnastics huh? Did we or did we not have the worst defense in the NBA?

Dumb **** that’s truth? What’s your spin Cy? Did we not have the worst defense in the league?

3+ years later and you still spin things Paying Kessler $30+ when he can’t spread the floor or keep us from being the worst defense in the league is just dumb. Trade him to Indy in the wake of their losing Turner.

Exactly - OKC built through the draft with picks gained from their financial flexibility, and their draft picks turned into great options around SGA. Since they drafted well and saved money, they went out and added Hartlestein at $28,500 with their financial flexibility to address the center...

OKC built their title on continually having space, making trades with that space and then drafting well. Sure they had some pieces like PG to trade, but still, they acquired picks using cap space and trading players who were good but not essential players. But you just want to fight me on this...

Shaq and Hakeem? You and I are old enough to know those days are long gone from long ago. The game is different. A team is better off loading up with a bunch of dynamic wings and backcourt players then grab a hustle big later. OKC did it with Hartlestein. Of course they have Chet, but Kessler...

Financial flexibility is the most important thing prior to identifying your franchise player. Sure, we could dump Lauri I guess but I just don’t see the earth shattering implications of trading Kessler for a good haul. I see more negatives overpaying him than I do negatives from losing him. We...

Guys, I’m quite aware of Jokic. He’s a massive outlier. He’s not a rim protector but a do-everything big. He’s a very big, singular exception to the rule.

I don’t want to get into an argument about Gobert. Lord knows we have had too many of those. Paying somebody like Jarrett Allen or Stephen Adams a high percentage of the cap before we have identified our franchise player is just foolish. Rim protector is the last piece of the puzzle not one of...

I’m with you on Embiid. He’s annoying for sure. In the NBA, you only contend with an elite wing/backcourt player. I just don’t see the point of paying a center that much money if we still haven’t identified who our elite wing/backcourt player it is that we will build around.

When was the last time an offensively limited center was worth $30+? Look at the ones who actually do have some offense, and they can’t stay in one place because it’s just not good business to pay centers that much: Porzingis Ayton KAT We all know what happened with Rudy and how his contract...
