Gonna be an absolute grind getting through games this season with DeRozan, Lavine, Westbrook and Shroeder but that's the price to pay getting spoiled with that one season where we actually made the playoffs and lost in the first round.

This roster gives Wizards/Hornets/Jazz/Nets fans a nightmare when thinking about getting the top pick next year.

Kings will be fun to watch but only because they're going to so dysfunctional.

:clap: Congratulations Kings
From having Fox and Haliburton in the past to now improving this team by acquiring Westbrook.
This is a classy well run organization indeed. :nod:

Hornets has a 183 Mil payroll, paying Ball 38 Mil and they are thinking about getting a high pick next year. :nonono:

Every penny they pay Doug Christie this season would be so worth it, IMO.

People are harping about mental health awareness, yet they make Christie coach this roster. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Doug.

Could use another guy to play off ball. Is Nik Stauskas still on the board?

Russ'
DeRozan
LaVine
Monk
Schroeder

At least they have Keon Ellis and Keegan Murray though; also could see a trade happening later.


Don’t forget Devin Carter who will need development minutes in the back court as well. The Kangzzzz are running a masterclass on how to not build a team.

Unless Sabonis takes a generational leap then I don't see the point of this roster construction here. It's quite absurd how old they are, and how terrible the spacing is.

I wonder who ultimately plays more minutes at Sacto this year -- Schroder or Westbrook

He'll have to take both proverbial and a real, physical leap to leap over all of those guys huddling up in and around the lane to take long 2s.

Kings land the 2x Jazz legend. On an extremely positive note, signing Russ is a much better move than trading for Kuminga.

Interesting that Westbrook's contract is non-guaranteed.
