[CantStop]

Are the Lakers going to have enough players for the game tonight?

[G-Zeus]

ah... incoming javale since he is likely getting bought out

oh just realized.. 3 seconds and 1st might get Bojan.

That’s why they made sure Bron got the record on Tuesday. PatBev may be next to go.

That title change

.....so he will take jokic's minutes????????????????

 

[Hater]

I think Bojan coming brehs

 

[Osmosis]

Wenyen and Vando are way better defensively and can man the backup center spot. This is a good deal to get more draft capital for a player they weren't going to resign..

I've been out on Bryant since Sengun looked like prime Hakeem against him

 

[ALonelyDad]

Nothing Lakers FO loves more than leaking out negative stuff when they get rid of a player

 

[CantStop]

All Thomas had to do was wait for AD’s bi weekly vagina strain to get more time

 

[G-Zeus]

I think Bojan coming brehs

just not sure how they will find time for LBJ with all that SF/PF minutes

Rui/Vanderbilt/Bojan and an old man

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Thomas Bryant was great for us, he exceeded his expectations. With that being said, he would have been unplayable in the playoffs and Vanderbilt pretty much replaces him. These 3 picks could be good to get more role players.

This gives people an idea of Bryant's actual market value. Like I was telling people, he's basically a replacement player and his market value is mostly based on his offensive potential with the hope he can learn to play defense. Getting assets for him is a good deal, unless there were better assets on the table somewhere. It's better than just keeping him on the roster where, like you say, he was basically unplayable in any meaningful game.

This…bridges imo is a huge loss for Pheonix

Yeah, for me that's the only thing that could stop them from running through the West. Bridges was a key part of their defense and fit in well on offense. KD is obviously an upgrade, but they feel more unbalanced now and may need time to build chemistry.

Remember that when Durant went to the Warriors, their chemistry and ball movement actually got a lot worse. They went from being far better than the sum of their parts to somewhat worse. The difference was just that they had so much talent that being "less than the sum of their parts" was still better than pretty much any team that had ever been created. Do the Suns have enough overriding talent that they can still win a title even if chemistry with KD doesn't click by the postseason?
