    • Raps will get a Superstar.

      Cade will stay in Detroit for 7 years and ask for a trade. No evidence they will build and spend to have a winner around him.

      • Sexton is a S&T candidate…Rockets really need to nail this pick to build beside Christian Wood and Tate.

      • It also eliminates the Raps as a trade partner for Ben Simmons. They’ve invested in FVV. They spend a 1st round pick on Malachi (Malakey) Flynn, they’re gonna spend this pick on a guard…

        • The Warriors have #7 and #14. They’re gonna find a way to trade Draymond and get into the Simmons sweepstakes…

          • The big deal-o is Elton Brand remains the GM…he signed Doc to a 5 year contract through 2025…Daryl can fire Elton whenever he wants. He likely will at some point…he is also paying Brett Brown and Doc for 2021-22. He can fire Doc trade Ben

    Right…his HOF probability is 98.5%. He’s #9 on the Active list of DRtng at 102.8.

    As far as offensive rating is concerned, AD all-time is just behind KD, Dame, Chef 👩‍🍳 Curry, James Harden. And he’s younger than all of them by the way. He’s been doing fine with the haters riding shotgun, in the back, pitting him, rubbernecking him…

    We’re gonna be just fine everybody. 😂😂😂😂😂

    AD Would get in the Basketball 🏀 HOF on his one Kentucky year

    As I’ve told DJ over and over, the Lakers don’t have the star player or draft picks the Wizards are going to want for Beal. Beal wanting out though means Washington is going to have to move both of them. While Lakers don’t have the chips to get Beal, they would have a good shot to get Westbrook because his salary and fit will turn off a lot of teams.

    Lakers are 5-4 (Den included) when AD doesn’t play. 4 wins against a lottery Wolves and Thunder teams. And beating the Bulls in a nail-biter. It took multiple OT wins in a stretch of games to beat bad teams. In the 3 games AD hasn’t played at all, the Lakers are held to under 100 points. Miami’s defense is #9, the Pistons and Nets are 20th and 26th in defense. Losing to them wouldn’t be a concern if they scored over 100. But they didn’t.

    • What’s worse, is we’ve been seeing all of these problems since the start of the season. Too much of giving the ball to LeBron and AD and clearing the side while everybody else stands around. Now that we shooting like crap, teams are going to copy the Heat and double LeBron and pack the paint every time down, daring us to hit an open three. We got 45 good lucks from deep last night and it wasn’t because of our great offense. It was the Heat giving us what we can’t do well, which is shoot from distance. Look for a constant diet of that coming from every team. How about some ball and player movement and stop the iso LeBron offense on the wing. We don’t have willing and capable shooters to beat the doubles and paint packing that we’re going to see every game.
