Kyrie is not a PG. He's an undersized, empty stats SG, and he's the exact opposite of what we need.

I continue to be mystified at the idea of taking the ball out of the hands of Giannis.

Kyrie is just Qanon Monte Ellis at this point.

I prefer NBA Kanye

Early returns are promising.

If you want something more sobering, Ben Simmons will be at $200m+ in career earnings when his current deal expires in 2025 (prob a bit less due to what happened in Philly).

I had that take. Only reason I won't rescind it yet is I haven't actually gotten to watch the Cavs play yet but the stats certainly look far far better than anything Monta could do. Maybe he was simply being asked to do too much in the Jazz system.

He is an idiot ,we saw what he did in play off.

Don't get why we never threw him into more live meaningful game situations.

What's funnier is they probably had to pay a wad of cash to pay for that homeless clown look.

I imagine they'll come down to earth as the season goes on, but I think they should be pretty excited by how good their young guys have looked so far.

Lottery odds being flattened so much makes the early wins not mean so much IMO.

I get that. But I'd still want the best possible odds to land that #1 pick.

Pretty crazy for Myles to be openly asking the Lakers to trade for him like this.

Not even hating on the strategy given the absence of real enforcement for this stuff too.

Indiana Pacers center/forward Myles Turner joined Adrian Wojnarowski on The Woj Pod this past Sunday, and when the NBA insider asked if the Lakers should trade their picks for him, Turner did not hold back.

"We all know picks are so valuable in this league," Turner said. "And someone like myself, I'm heading into the last year of my deal, and you wanna make sure you're getting a return for your assets."

"If I'm the Lakers, I take a very hard look at this with the position that you're in. I know what I can provide for a team. My leadership, my shot blocking, my three-point ability and my ability to make plays out there on the floor. I'd take a very long look at it."

Well said by Turner. The NBA may give him a small fine for talking about a trade to another team, but Turner's comments were well articulated.

From the Lakers' point of view, the team needs to win around 35 games to make the play-in. There's plenty of time to make an intelligent decision that doesn't necessarily hamper the team's future. Don't mistake that the picks are off-limits. L.A. will sacrifice the draft capital if it can make a deal that catapults the franchise into contention.

That's a bigger question, not necessarily based on what the Lakers might get to round out the roster with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but on Davis' health throughout the year.

"I don't like what I've seen from A.D.," the executive said. "That back doesn't look healthy."

They just have to trade Conley. Thats all.

If young guys still win without Conley then great let them win. If not great again.

But playing Conley 30 minutes per game is crazy. No reason for that.

Is he a buyout candidate this year?

Difference is Simmons may be out of the league after this deal.

It's kinda weird to think that Delly was still on the roster when Bud came in.

I remember Henson still being here because we were trying to make him a 3-point shooter while everyone was still shocked Bud was running a modern offense. But for some reason Delly being with us the first month of that 2018-19 was wiped from memory.
