Cho caught a lot of heat from everyone by taking Cody over Noel, but it turned out to be one of his few good decisions.

The free agent pool has almost dried up outside of some RFAs like Randle, Lavine, Parker, and Exum. That means the trade deluge will soon be approaching. I hope you guys are ready, regardless of what Mitch has said to the media we should at least prepare ourselves for the possibility of rooting for a very different team next year.

Rondo to LA for 9 mil/1 year may be a sign that Lakers are trading Lonzo. Get your popcorn ready folks.

Lonzo is definitely a goner, the destination is the question.

Randle to the Pelicans. At least he stays in the West.

What a great fit. Pelicans are doing work. Randle is going to be a beast for them.

Ironic. Essentially Randle for Rondo.

Brook Lopez renounced - where is he going or staying?

somewhere irrelevant on a 1 year deal. Doubt there's room for him anywhere

They’re overpaying Mahinmi.

Ugh, whats with getting non shooting guards to play next to Lebron?

I can see problems with rondo and Lebron wanting to,pound the ball

It really seems like their is a big focus on defense thus far in the Lakers choices. The Warriors are going to struggle to score points against a team that includes Rondo, Lonzo, Kawhi, Lebron, Lance, KCP. It's a bold choice to go that way, but I think it is a possible way to win a championship. They are obviously going to irritate the young players at Philly and Boston mightily hard.

I could see them signing Dwight or Brook on a super cheap deal.

What is going on? Warriors just signed D. Cousins to a 5 mil deal. This is insane man. I don't even think that should be allowed from a competitive standpoint if he's anywhere near healthy.

Wow, the MLE is going to amaze. What a move turning Howard into Tyreke/Bradley + Devonte Graham.

Would be cool if everyone on the Warriors tore their ACLs

HornetJail · Post #1018 » by **HornetJail** » Tue Jul 3, 2018 12:50 am

this is honestly hilarious to me

316Hornets · Post #1019 » by **316Hornets** » Tue Jul 3, 2018 12:53 am

Curry
Klay
Durant
Green
Cousins

So, guess I'll just take next season off.

The only person who could beat the warriors is Cousins, from the inside.

It’s a bold move, let’s see how it plays out
