Should we be panicking? I don’t like this.

 

[Ziggiy]

Pathetic showing tonight

 

[ALonelyDad]

Should we be panicking? I don’t like this.

no, we are gonna lose a lot more games..we were 22-6 before AD injury and are missing a guy who controls our defense and gives us 20-30 on given night. Just focus on being healthy by playoffs

 

[El Jefe]

We did try to trade for him, in fact we offered Caruso and a 2nd. Detroit declined, Rose did not want to be here. I cant blame him because his last stint with LeBron was a mess.

thats not really tryin lol.. but ehhh

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

DG is better than Wes but the salary comparison is so vast that it evens out

Exactly, if DG was gettin paid what Wes gettin paid it wouldn’t be a big deal. DG was fukkin horrible and would be just as trash with us now.

Not sure what you expected them to trade? we don't have many assets, also Rose does not want to be on a contender. He told Pistons last year to keep him and this year had Knicks on top of his list. Clippers would trade all their picks for him if he wanted to be on a good team

 

[JT-Money]

Has Waiters retired already? If so can't believe dude is out of the league already.

He can't be worse than the Lakers roleplayers.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

should have traded fo D rose like Mamba hoped for

Lakers been after him for the longest. He just wanna be around Thibs and/or close to Chicago.

 

[Mars]

Firing a GM that's worked the cap to a chip and dealing with an unusual schedule breh?

Please, clutch sport deserves more credit than Rob...If Bron stays in Cleveland, AD probably gets traded to the Cavs...If Lebron signed with the Knicks, AD gets traded to the knicks..etc....

Is it a coincidence that in Bron's first season the Lakers also had no depth or reliable shooters?

he never said he aint want to be on a contender ... he said he wanted to go to where he felt comfortable and compete to at leats make the playoffs

and lets b frank if it was a respectful offer that detroit was happy wit , they would have made it work ..

the issue is does d rose want to be put in the corner wit lebron , and does he trust ty lue after things played out the way did in cleveland , those were the stumbling blocks

@2Quik4UHoes d rose loves LA ... i wouldnt b suprised to see him sign as a free agent on his terms after this season , if he doesnt resign with NY

Rose is not moving the needle on this team. and Bron and Rose don't mix we saw that in 18

This is bullshyt.

rob was villified in the media last season for signing Rondo, Dwight, not having a reliable C, not enough shooters, etc. He hit in buyout by getting Markieff. All his moves hit. Those margin moves helped us tremendously

But there were reports going back as far as 2017/18 of Rondo/Howard wanting to play with Lebron...So I'm not going to praise Pelinka for those moves.

Not having a backup 4/5 going into this season was just boneheaded.

So dsj is a respectful offer but not Caruso? Lol. Rose was chased by Clippers and Lakers for a while, if he signed off, pistons would have done it. He chose Knicks because of thibs.

If you gonna give klutch sports credit then you should also blame them for montrezz, kcp, etc. That montrezz was 100% Rich Paul, a move everyone loves to hate
