FROM ABOVE ARTICLE:
Los Angeles Lakers Receive:
-Derrick White
Boston Celtics Receive:
-Rui Hachimura
-Dalton Knecht
-2031 first-round pick
With Halli down, perhaps Turner would be ready for LAL? Would like Nesmith in a trade. Reaves to Indy. Both would be great fits for us!
We don’t have the cap space my man. He ain’t playing for the 3 or 4 million we can offer. Sign and trade and you create a whole new problem. Indy doesn’t want Kleber, Shake and other debris one wants to throw onto the bonfire.
So you calling Rui and Reaves and Knecht and DPS debris? Again, LBJ opts out and there ya go. What’s the use of having a Billionaire owner if he can’t spend da dough?
No, but if you trade all those guys you got the same problem you have now at 2 or 3 different positions. Knecht is debris, though, at least in the playoffs.
DFS is either picking up his player option (unlikely) or testing free agency (likely) and we’ll be challenged to keep even him on the team. Not a lot of quality free agents so he could end up priced off our squad. Which makes it harder to trade Rui or Vando because who else is gonna play the 3/4? Can’t just play 6 guys all season. Although Reddick would maybe try…
PS-Some called our 2020 Chip tainted. : )
Alex Caruso pretty much called it tainted last night…loll
I will always call it the most mentally challenging title ever won. I’m sure Alex has the ring in the same place he’s gonna put this one. Not surprised he’d throw shade our way after how we basically showed him the door so we could keep old Long Arms Horton-Tucker…
But the no travel aspect…and 2-3 months off before the playoffs started…created a never-to-be-seen-again set of circumstances.
DPS, not DFS, Draft Picks.
Let’s not rewrite history—Caruso became a household name because of the Bubble run. That title wasn’t tainted; it was earned under the most grueling mental conditions the league’s ever seen. No travel? Sure. But also no fans, no momentum swings, and pure willpower. Every team had the same reset, but only one came out champs. Funny how the “tainted” ring ended up being the one that made his career.
That rubbed me the wrong way when Caruso said that…maybe he was caught in A moment, but I think the bubble championship was not one that had less value than a non bubble championship. The play in tournament was created going into the playoffs, I believe, I don’t love that but I understand the NBA is a business…..I felt it would have been great to sign Caruso, and looking back, the contract wasn’t outrageous. He has worked hard to steadily improve his game and has regularly added value to his teams.
It’s constantly called “The Bubble Championship” because everyone knows there’s a huge asterisk next to it. Nobody derides the Spurs ring they won after the strike-shortened season though…..
Boston is looking to move Holiday and possibly Porzingas. Every report I’ve seen is they consider White untouchable., especially if they move Holiday.
I wish we could actually acquire Derrick White. Not sure if BOS gives him up for what we have to offer though. Again…in this “2nd Apron” environment, teams seem to be making it a priority to receive multiple draft picks. We’ve got only 1 to offer and it’ll probably be down in the mid to late 20’s at that.
