Finally. Let's see if Weltham will do anything.

Schroeder going for a late 1st round pick and Danny Green. Makes you wonder how much lower the market will be for Gordon and Fournier.

Good trade for both teams. Lakers get better and a starting point guard to take playmaking duties off James. Presti adds another draft pick. It's like two front offices know which direction they're going in and fully committing to it to achieve their goals.

Well... didn't expect much for fournier... but i think AG will be fine still. Dennis is a 1 year rental like fournier would be as well.

There are a few interesting players expected to go at the backend of the first round I would happily do an “addition by subtraction” move of Evan Fournier for. Don’t discount those late picks if it means the Evan era comes to an end.

Well, Evan has to opt-in first. Deadline is after the draft so smarter for him to wait for leverage.

Schroder recouped a lot of value in just a short year. I think this favors OKC but pretty fair deal.

I really like it for both teams.

The Lakers really lacked juice off the dribble out of their backcourt and Schröder provides that nicely for them.

OKC gets what amounts to a free first by swapping one equal contract for another and they can still flip Green to a contender for draft assets too.

Both teams got what they were looking for.

OKC might be the best at buying low on assets and flipping them into better ones.

Still irks me that they turn our package for Ibaka into the trove of picks they own down the road.

Smh

i'd say the 2 years he was there. Left Atlanta under a cloud with possible felony charges. kept his head down and played decent to good ball in OKC

"The No. 7 and No. 8 seeds will need to win one game to stay in the playoffs, while the No. 9 and No. 10 seeds will need to win twice to enter the playoffs."

Oh boy, here we go. Play-ins for the 7 and 8 seeds.

Huge for depth with covid this season. Hopefully we get some decent 2ways to develop.

Unfortunately the madness for us will be seeing the Magic do nothing. :banghead:

We'll get some important news tomorrow. Fournier's option deadline is tomorrow. As soon as he opts in, he's eligible to be traded before, during, or after Wednesday's draft.
