Basically eats up a roster spot if you don’t buy him out, if you keep him on your roster he’s a distraction, need to give up an asset if you don’t buy him out to get anything back worthwhile to a team that will buy him out. It’s easy just to say let him sit while he takes up a roster spot and mushes up your locker room. I’m willing to see what the Wiz want in a deal for Rozier asset wise before they buyout Marcus Smart. Would rather trade Rozier for Smart and let them buyout Rozier for the asset.


At first I disagreed with your opening sentence, MWP. I went and found what I believe are the 2 worst overall contracts, but then came back and realized you had used the words "toxic expiring" rather than "toxic contract" :lol: so now I think I agree with that premise.

The 2 worst overall contracts (aside from Damian Lillard on a technicality) in my opinion are Immanuel Quickley and Jerami Grant. Source

Mavs the heavy favorites :o


LeBron wants to play with his friends, and he's got Kyrie AND Davis on the Mavs.


It would make for some wild conspiracy theories for sure lol

The DOJ needs to release the Rozier files, already.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

Already getting their fans ready for disappointment…

Pretty much telling them in advance not to panic so early in the off season… save the panic for the last month before the season starts. Until then, let them live in peace.

If he was on a 2 way ok but he’s too high risk to be giving up a roster spot to.

He’s eligible to sign on August 2nd but won’t be in country. Same thing happened when he signed with Dallas he waited until he got back. This has been reported already from numerous Laker outlets weeks ago that Windy is bringing to light.

Absolute misery bringing this goon back to the locker room. We can’t truly move on from last years stench until they figure out a way to move him to a team willing to buy him out.

I don’t care if we have to attach 2026 and 2032 2nd rd picks if it brings back a rotational player and money to sign a 15th.

Insane how the CBA has all the restrictions to phuck us over but not to help in a situation like this….

The man is literally being federally investigated for affecting games he plays in….

How should a team have to pay that player millions? Or be confident doing so?

Worst trade in our franchises history by FAR.
