For the Lakers' next magic trick, watch this lead disappear from lack of effort!

To be fair Queen will be a very good player so its not as bad as the Luka or SGA/Paul George or that infamous Celtics/Nets deal.

Not with that defense he won't. He can't defend the rim nor 4's. A big who can't defend at all means what in the long term? Build a team around these deficiencies? Why? This feels like Greg Monroe all over again.

He reminds me of Ben Simmons without any defensive aptitude or effort, but Monroe works as well.

If he doesn't then he is simply never going to get it, that's as simple as that.

I've never expected Doncic to win it, because I've known it was unlikely LA would ever finish above OKC or Denver in the standings...

Jaren Jackson is a coward. With Edey wrecking shop, he should be killing the Kings as well. Eubanks, Achiuwa and Raynaud should be BBQ chicken.

Literally just hit send on this in the T&T forum.

The idea of building around Lauri tracks with everything that the Jazz FO has been doing for the last few years. It makes perfect sense for them to be buyers next summer, but to do it early at the deadline makes little sense unless it’s an opportunistic trade for an injured but promising player who is out for the season.

Not rebuilding while not contending. The Danny Ainge 2 timelines special.

Got paid his bag and has now decided not to bother competing.

Used to be a big fan of his but now understand when other posters saw red flags in JJJ.

Maybe Ja's toxic attitude has washed off on him ? Who knows

i like what I'm seeing from Fears.

Overreaction from Luka. No need to get into the rook's face for that.

He got so muscular that he turned himself into a stretch big, of sorts. Pretty good rebounder. Doesn’t turn it over, doesn’t pass much. Was always better guarding slower guys anyway, because he had little footspeed. Glad to see it.

Bey was a good player for the Hawks he was well liked here by most fans and we didn't want to see him go at the time he did honestly.
