Philadelphia is really crappy which makes me even more annoyed that they beat us. Got handled by a Miami team missing arguably their three best players tonight.

LAL is done. AD out the season with knee injury.

Guess LeQueen can go make a few more bad movies now with his spare time.

ESPN says MCL sprain, reevaluated in 4 weeks.

So he could be fresh for the playoffs.

Just a lazy 18 boards (with 10 assists and 8 points ) for Giddey

I think you'll find this will make the Lakers better. Davis has been terrible this season.

Damian Jones with 23 points and 8 rebs today against the Spurs, and he shot 2-2 from 3 range.

Trading him could end up our greatest mistake ever.

Did they trade him or just cut him?

He is still only 26, and could still end up being proof of the maxim that bigs, particularly 7 footers, take a long time to develop. Once they drafted Wiseman I guess they weren't going to have both of them on the roster.

I hope Wiseman doesn't take till he is 26 to show merit though.

They traded Jones two one year before they drafted Wiseman--summer of 2019 for Omari Spellman.

Thanks, yes realised that and looked it up after I posted, I guess they just didn't think he was ever going to be good and were at the start of cap space problems, and relied on KD for some center minutes which may have contributed to his injury.

He had no motor here.

Low rebound rate, didn't contest shots.

Main thing he was good at was wide catch radius for lob dunks.

Then he got injured and the team played without him for most of that season.

It's funny, I didn't get the impression that West wanted to retire or leave necessarily after the 2018 season. But Kerr said that they will integrate young players into the roster for 2018-2019. So they also had Evans on the roster as well as McKinnie.

Wolves getting close to passing the Lakers. You love to see it.

Damion Jones' season statistics look pretty close to his career stats. I'll believe in him if he puts up a bunch of games like that, not just one.

Minnesota is no pushover this year. They're a pretty fun watch. Imo a lock for the play in game, especially if they can upgrade at the deadline.

Hey Santa Cruz played today!.. but Moody didn't. Why?

Its either because he is recovering from his 2 mins played against the visiting Kings or because he needs to rest up for his upcoming 2 mins against the visiting Grizzlies.

Lakers going to end up with pablo or chet.

Youngin is still in the ice bath after that high minutes night. Kid's almost at 150 minutes this season - are we trying to kill him!?

Think it would have been easy for him to play for Santa Cruz between two home games hey. A hop skip and a jump and back in time for dinner. Why have a gleague team? With no minutes and little practice, he is going to regress at this rate. It baffling but maybe I'm missing something.
