Dejounte Murray looks like he tore his achilles, so hes out

Yeah I'm think RW3 is the best target.

CP3 is also up for grabs if Spurs get Fox, they will move him to where he can start I imagine

I’d be fine with cp3 too

But can only play limited minutes with AR I think

If spurs move Vassell that’s interesting, can see us moving a 1st for him since he’s young on a fair deal. Likely goes to Sac though

If GS makes a move for Jimmy, can we try and steal Wiggins? Miami seems to want to compete so I doubt it, but Rui+salary filler+lightly protected 28 swap?

CP takes the ball out of the hands of LeBron and Reaves and I don’t think he’s better than either at this point. If we get a lead guard, it’d have to be someone with downhill speed.

He's a 24mpg guy on a good team.

Between CP3, Reaves, LeBron you would have 2 on the court at all times. That's ideal, he's actually as efficient as both this season when accounting for turnovers. And he takes as many shots as Max (so low volume).

Who is that guard with downhill speed that makes sense?

Lonzo seems like he still needs some more time, and more of a 3 pt shooter at this point. Not a good finisher at the rim

Cp3 I think can work. Always have Bron out their with Reaves or Cp3. And then AD out there with 1 of Reaves or Cp3.

Any thoughts on the potential 4-5 team deal with the Spurs, Kings and others?

If we could get CP3 and Turner for Rui, Vincent, and Wood+a 1st, a swap, and 1-2 2nds, do you do it?

Reaves, Christie, DFS, Bron, AD
Cp3, Knecht, Vando, Turner

Then see if you can unprotect the utah 27 1st or do a swap with OKC next year for a 1st fromt their war chest. See what JHS+Cam can get you back for 6.5 or below range for wing depth.

I think that group can contend, if healthy ofc

Don't need downhill speed, especially not if they get a C. If they get a big like RW3 then you want Reaves and CP3 feeding them.

I think if you get CP3 then you don't need to worry about bigs with range. He's amazing at setting up bigs for scoring around the rim. You don't need to overpay for the skill.

Statement win. Gabe and Max becoming viable rotation players, the DFS trade, and Vando's return has made this team a force defensively.

Needed this W to get the bad taste of the Philly beatdown out of my mouth.

LeBron brought his MSG swagger, guys hit 3's and probably the best sight of them all, watching DFS and Vanderbilt D up. They make a big difference. Special shout out to Christie too. Put the clamps on Brunson.

Got punked on the boards as usual though, so hopefully a decent big on the way any time now....

I fully believe the basketball illuminati would have elminated Lebron had he come into the league now. He'd average 37/10/10

They'd eliminate him after 4 seasons i think. They'd be at the NBA roundtable talking about how he's making a mockery out of the league.

They'd label him a basketball terrorist and have Trump issue it a national emergency and a countrywide manhunt on capturing Lebron.

Bill Simmons trade value list is now a real thing, anybody and anyone can be traded with this news of Doncic to the Lakers.

Honestly amazed that LeBron isn't being traded in place of AD, that would make way more sense for LA. Perhaps his injury is worse than they're letting on or something going on with Luka? Just insanely wild

This makes no f'n sense but multiple reports have confirmed it's real.
