Thought for sure he'd sign with the Lakers.

LOL. It gets worse for Lakers. They really needed him. They should look at Dion. It's a high risk high reward situation. Dion could absolutely come in and ruin their team chemistry. But he's exactly what they need, even more than Collison
Can shoot, create for others, defend and has no fear. Apart from Bron, AD, Dwight and Caruso, I have no faith in the other players in big games in the playoffs. Rondo is washed and the others haven't really been in big games before.
For Dion, it might be his last shot at salvation. I don't see any other team that would want anything to do with him.

Dion is not what ANY team needs, much less a team with actual goals

Dion is not going to the Lakers. Dion got traded because he didn't get along with specifically LeBron.

The Lakers don't have enough especially in the guard position. Their offense dies when Lebron isn't in the game because noone else is capable of creating shots for others. It also hurts them when they are closing games against elite teams. You double team Bron and noone elso can do anything.
The consequences of failure for Lakers could be devastating. If they fail and AD leaves after giving all that, they are screwed for the next 7 years.
It's a risk that they should consider taking because Dion is a lot better than what's out there right now. He'd be their best guard if he signed. I wasn't a big Dion fan but if he accepted his role he could be a huge difference marker on the team. Probably with Dion is not production, it his attitude. You take a risk and hope that he can behave knowing this is his last chance in the NBA.

JR who hasn't played in two years or Dion. Those are his options. LeBron gotta swallow a bit of pride and try to make it work. They need another playmaker bad.

Portland going to be waiving Hassan next, lol.

All the people we had no business paying getting waived

TJ really fell off a cliff huh

Bishop45 · Post #1814 » by **Bishop45** » Mon Feb 10, 2020 1:02 am

Harden hasn't looked like himself in a while, Hou should be a 'lil more worried

Spo has to have an incredible bone watching these guys play defense tho

Poor Ty, has had a decent career, proud of what he's achieved

I saw him on the bench with huge ice pad (so I assume) wrapped around both knees in 1Q recently. Which isn't anything noteworthy in NBA, but I've been saying that he has some leg issues. He's also allergic to playing defense probably.

Too bad because with healthy Harden Houston have a chance this szn. Healthy Harden will be hard to come by going forward.

RIP and I'd like you to know that it's not my fault bish

Sucks for Lakers that Collison is staying retired. Luckily they have JR workout ready this week or something.

If Drummond gets traded for a bag of mnm's and a snickers bar, imagine what Hassan's value is.

He went from mercurial to absolutely terrible from 3, and while he can still drive, getting to the line a lot less frequently. Free throw shot been off too. Idk

Don't op anymore threads and I'll believe yu
