Shams has dominated Woj, its time to pass the torch

Not really. Woj usually has more details in his tweets as far as contract terms.

What team could win a championship with one of their duo's going down? It's not a revelation to say AD needs to be healthy for the Lakers to repeat. The same goes for pretty much every contender.

Best part is saying it like it's some profound shyt. Somebody said he was a Clippers fan, then the Lakers win a title, I look up and he's been a Lakers fan the whole time. Win a title the next year after trading for Davis and he's still not happy because of trading for Davis, yet can admit they aren't anywhere without Davis. Don't pay him any mind.

If I were the Pelicans I'd consider signing/trading Ingram & pieces to Houston for Harden.

Rockets get a young star plus future picks and the Pelicans get a legit tier 1 superstar.

It would definitely be a bold move.

Harden wouldn't go for that.

Any team still looking for a stretch 5? Aron Baynes is out there. The Suns can sign and trade if they don't have space.

But that’s after shams breaks it. That’s all most people care about now

EAD

Everybody is worried about here & now and will discount the fact we will be ASS in a couple seasons bc our assets will be depleted. Klutch Sports has us by the balls and I'm supposed to be ok with that? I'm not a Bron stan and never will be. I was one of the main guys in this forum defending Lonzo & BI during the down years. Always defended Kobe. Always fair in my assessments. Give credit where credit is due. Nikkas Wanna hate, IDGAF. My knowledge on hoops surpasses 95% of coli posters, including you & your DE'ing Butt-buddy.

There’s only one melo.

Has this been the worst off season ever (in terms of free agents)? I have zero idea why anyone would want Hayward. I have zero idea why anyone would give him that type of money. It literally doesn’t make any sense to me.

Fred Van is another player that I’ve never been impressed with when watching. He seems solid but he also seems like an average do it all (never really seen him run the offense) pg.

Those are the big free agents .
When I saw the tweet calling Jrue Holiday a star, I knew the NBA was in trouble. They better hope the Nets or Suns improve because there aren’t many teams worth watching

yet you take a title when you can. Its cute building organically hoping they become something, but 10/10 times you trade those kids for generational talent. Lakers might be ass but way we set up AD only 27 when lebron retires hell be around 30 and can attract another star

Ibaka is NOT an upgrade defense wise....Ur gonna learn very soon,possibly the worst PnR defender in the league.

so i went Raptors forum searchign and seems like most rap fans agree with you.

"Lowry propped Ibaka up quite a bit. Don't be surprised if his offensive production dives off a cliff... He can't dribble for the life of him and relied on the pick and pop game with Lowry. Fred couldn't figure out how to get any production out of him, that's for sure...

Also, his defense is atrocious. He might have consistently been our worst defender over the last two years. He literally gets lost or exploited every second play and is super vulnerable to switches, pick and pops, or anything that forces him to guard the perimeter. He's not good at guarding the pick and roll either. Just a super low IQ defensive player. Good shot blocker and rim protector though.
