Would the mavs trade flagg for lebron? That would be so stupid and shortsighted. On the other hand flagg with Luka on the Lakers would be must watch basketball.

pistons have lost schroeder, hardaway and probably beasley. They might be back to sub 30 wins next year.

The Nuggets actually have depth for once.

Murray
Braun - Hardaway - Strawther
Johnson - Brown
Gordon - Watson
Jokic - Val - Holmes

They still really desperately need like two more ball handlers to take pressure off of the team when Joker is off the floor or being triple teamed. Can't count on Murray to show up except for random spurts in the playoffs

CP3 would be very handy for them, but he really wants that LA gig

Lebron is probably the only player who could potentially get Ayton playing the way he did with Chris Paul. The Lakers could legit be scary if he pans out for them. Lebron should finally be able to reduce his offensive load and minutes and play more of a suped up Draymond Green role. We could be looking at one of the most stacked Western conferences ever.

It’s why Skeletor was glad to reward Dallas for trading Luka to a fading prime market. The league must have star power for grabbing eyeballs in LA and NY. Chicago is still important but not as critical as big cities in Texas. Dallas, Houston and San Antonio are key to pulling more ratings from a huge state. It’s why Orlando and Miami matter relative to Florida’s population.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Funny you mentioned Chicago as they were one miraculous giddey 50 footer at the buzzer from getting the first pick themselves.

Ayton's best year was before he signed his big contract, it would not surprise me at all if he has a resurgence next year.

just dont get sucked into signing him long term

I think LeBron ask for a trade around the all star break.

I'm not really a real bandwagoner but I can't front the Wizards are my lil team. IMO BuB should be their captain. He seems like a good leader

Wow, thats crazy. Good for Huntley. I always go to a few games a year, my parents have front row tickets and the action is pretty good. Saw that Broome guy that Philly drafted play when Auburn came to town (and App St. beat them), I thought he'd be a NBA player.
