I remember how LAL fans said that they can sing DLo, Vando now and trade them later. I have read ideas of MIN doing the same with Anderson.

That is how teams add salary. Whether it works or not depends on a number of factors including the contract, the market, the time of year, injuries, ect… Dlo might well get traded to a contender whose PG goes down, or to a rebuilding team with picks in exchange for talent. There is never a guarantee one way or the other.

I read a post from a Laker fan who refused to believe it, saying it was just the media showing it’s massive conspiracy AGAINST LAL!

After all these years and bouncing around, Chris Dunn finally becoming an rotation player. Who besides Tom Thibodeau would had thought that one day Dunn would be traded for Russell Westbrook a brick for a brick.

The copium is very potent in LA. Such delusions, that and the way the Refs are always keeping them down :crazy:

Dinwiddie just took the vet min from Dallas. They are going to be good. Damn.

That sucks.

I feel like people here are more interested in putting together a video game or fantasy basketball lineup than they are a cohesive unit. Dinwiddie is a 31-year old point guard who isn't that good when he doesn't have the ball, playing alongside ball-dominant guards Docic and Irving. Yeah he's talented, but he really doesn't affect the outlook for Dallas in my mind.

That's encouraging.

So? he’s completely cooked and was useless for the Lakers.

I guess I wasn't referring to him being an intricate part of the mavs...rather that they are probably better with him (he did recently play there). I'd rather have him than Ingles.
But if you guys say he's cooked and provides Dallas with nothing...I'll take your word for it.

Random post. Looking at Scottie Pippen Jr. B-ref predicts him to go 18ppg, 6ast, 5 boards, and 2 steals next season. Is he that good?

Notice that's in per36 stats, not season averages.

Other players projected to average 18 points per36....Josh Minott and Leonard Miller. Luka Garza is projected to score 22.8 points per 36.

This makes more sense. Thank you

I'm as shocked as when Renault discovered there was gambling going on at Rick's Cafe Americain.

Thank you to Shrink and Frankenwolf for understanding this and liking it.

He's not completely washed up. I think he will help Dallas. I'm uncertain if he will help them a little or a lot.
