What happen? I just got back, saw Dwight was moved.

Magic just traded DLo to move Mosgov's contract, now there's legit reports that they're trying to get 5&10 from Sacramento. Supposedly LA wanted to send one of those Sacramento picks to Indy as part of a PG package.

Aldridge reported this and is credible, Pritchard gotta try to fleece LA because it's clear the Lakers are stupid. Ask for Ingram; 2nd pick, Clarkson, Deng, the 27th pick, and 28th pick for PG. That offer I proposed is ridiculous, but Magic might agree to that based on his previous moves/reported attempted moves.

5 or 10 is fine with me, can get DSJ or Mitchell. :ehh:

I don't really want Clarkson or Ingram tho, and definitely not Deng's contract unless that #2 pick is involved. :pachaha:

Y'all would be rebuilding plus y'all Indiana, so the fukk are you gon do with that cap space? :russ:

Ingram; Ball, and Turner all on rookie deals with a likely top 5 pick next year(Doncic; Bamba, Ayton, Porter) would have y'all sitting pretty :lawd:

Not too mention getting those two late picks could possibly mean a solid rotational piece, especially since Indy has had a decent track record of developing talent(PG, Lance, Hibbert)

I don't want Lonzo either. I'm interested in the following players with first round picks.

Jarrett Allen
Dennis Smith
Donovan Mitchell
Luke Kennard
Jawun Evans
John Collins

From Reddit:
Some dude on a Lakers forum is saying that he's heard from someone at the organization that there is some non-public information about D Lo that would make teams shy away from him.
Sounds like bullshyt, but eh, I've felt that way before and the poster ended up being Andrew Bynum's agent so.

Here are his comments:
I know someone who's very close to the team (yeah yeah, you can disregard it all you want) but he told me something very confidential about Russell that relates to his character and that to date, has not been publicly disclosed. I won't say what it was because that would be a violation of the guy's privacy (frankly, I shouldn't have been told) but I will tell you that it was EXTREMELY concerning and I can understand why they didn't want to keep him. Having said that, I wish to god they had gotten more value from him. My only point is that you should trust me (random guy on internet whom none of you have met in person) that he was DEFINITELY NOT a person you want on the roster going forward.



What do you think it is brehs?

If Evans was 4-5 inches taller, he'd be a top five pick. I like him a lot.

I've had to talk myself out of putting him in my top 5 multiple times. Been irrationally high on him all season, but I don't know how things will go, he's not as athletic as CP3 and that will be his downfall, even though he can do everything else for the most part.

He knows how to get to his spots. If IT can be successful, Evans could too. :manny:

IT has like a 40" vert, his standing vert is higher than Jawun's max vert.

His wingspan is good though, the highest in DX database for a player under 6'0" :ehh:
