They wanted the pick not Powell blocking there young players. They just bought out there own vet in Clarkson to free up roster room

So Collins for a SRP… man… Collins didn’t have much value for them?

I mean, I guess they turned $26.5 million into $13.4 million and a SRP. My question is how did LA absorb $6 million more?

I’m starting to feel delusional about giannis

Likely keeping it open like the Heat always do for flexibility and a 2-way player to get mins like Smith

Next move should be trading Wiggins and Rozier to the Wiz for Middleton and Smart expiring’s with 2nd rd picks coming back

When wiggins gets traded itll likely be for two players and a pick..

Also i think we have burks waiting for a contract offer.. probably bring him back again for 1 year 3.3 million like last year.. thats one option..

Not sure if someone in summer league will stand out and get that last spot

Moves Leonard back to SF. It was a good deal for them and they probably end up getting Beal too keeping his wife happy in LA

I can see Herro's scoring average dipping slightly with Powell in the lineup, allowing him to focus more on facilitating. Adding another reliable scorer takes some pressure off both Bam and Herro is massive.

It definitely takes pressure off and gives Miami another perimeter creator/scorer which is desperately needed. It's def a band-aid solution. I'm not thrilled at the idea of Herro leaning MORE into trying to be a PG. As the upper-level result is likely below league average facilitation for a lead ballhandler. Not the way to maximize Herro imo. But, hey, maybe a drop in scoring coincides with a drop in contract value.

I think norm is moving into that 6 man role

Herro needs to be in the 6th man role. He thrived in that position.

K.Smith already reported that the lakers are unlikely to trade a pick. They are saving it for next year, so they can put 3 picks in a trade for a big fish to pair with Luka (assuming bron retires).

NBA coaches selected Herro to the all star team and some of you want to put him on the bench :lol:

Post #500 » by **BBallFreak** » Mon Jul 7, 2025 3:38 pm

I'm all for more trades but my primary move would be to trade Rozier. I wouldn't care about dealing Wiggins right now as I think he can fit with this lineup. As of right now we have 4 starters who can score 20 on any given night, and who knows how far Ware comes? That's a nice feeling.

I also like some of our depth. Mitchell, Larrson, and Jovic can play and Highsmith has his uses. If JJJ can find his game again, we're cooking. It's Rozier I want to move.
