Interesting... this will be a good post to revisit next week.lebron teams usually treat the 1st game as a feeler. they'll probably lose this one but still win the series
dlo sucks. he's been so overrated in the last few weeks. AD's health, lebron back in the linuep, westbrook's absence, reaves continued rise and rui are the reason the lakers are where they are. the other trade pieces are wildly overrated.The players the Lakers got in the Jazz trade combined for a total of 8 points on 11 shots and D'Lo was a team low -25 (like by an insane margin)
I think people overrate the impact of the players the Lakers brought it and underrate the impact of Westbrook no longer being there to light 20 possessions per game on fire.The players the Lakers got in the Jazz trade combined for a total of 8 points on 11 shots and D'Lo was a team low -25 (like by an insane margin)
Yeah, D'Lo is a pretty big negative on D and his offense isnt consistent enough to offset that.dlo sucks. he's been so overrated in the last few weeks.

Yep. The biggest part of that entire trade was the lakers getting rid of westbrook imo.I think people overrate the impact of the players the Lakers brought it and underrate the impact of Westbrook no longer being there to light 20 possessions per game on fire.

Is there no penalty to just cutting a guy? If not, why dont teams cut guys all the time rather than attach draft picks to bad contracts to get other teams to take them off their hands? I have heard about a team (miami or dallas i think) wanting off duncan robinsons contract and hearing the jazz should take him off their hands if we get a pick with him or something. Why dont they just cut him?Which they could have just done by cutting him, but
The other players have helped them a lot. But they have such big holes that they sometimes are unplayable.
You can easily just cut players, but you're stuck with the contract. Both the actual money and the cap hit.Is there no penalty to just cutting a guy?
