They would be smart to. The heat as currently constructed is a treadmill team.

I know the possibility of the Lakers missing the playoffs is real but I don't know if I can really project them to not make it. At the very least they sneak in as the 8th seed. But I get it, West is stacked, just not sure I can give a team like the TWolves or Nuggets an edge over a Lebron team with some nice young pieces in place that are set to have better seasons next year regardless of Lebron being there or not. But yeah, West is gonna be so wild next season
I think they were focusing in more on the Kings.

Im still kinda surprised they were able to move Schroeder w/o taking back any players whose contract runs beyond next season. High level tanking, indeed
The cap is supposed to rise by ~15M over the next two years, which is pretty much Schroeder's contract, and even though he's a **** person, he's a talented basketball player who just isn't a top option & is probably best as a 6th man. So I'm not that shocked. Moving guys who can contribute for expiring's that playoff teams want to get rid of or are dead-money happens pretty often in the NBA...even if the guy who can contribute is being paid for a bigger role than he can actually fill.

Yet Courtney Lee is still on our roster

I’d love it a lot more if they weren’t trying so hard to become a GSW knockoff. I have no doubts that they’ll pick Zion to be “their Draymond” after having drafted “their Steph” this year.

Trae Young looked AWFUL during Summer league. Summer League, the easiest league to score 20 and look good...
Here's the thing about success. If it could be duplicated, there would be a lot more successful people out there.

Depends on what games you watched. He looked awful for the first couple games and then broke out against the Knicks and then had a couple more really good games after that
21 points 11 assists against Knicks
24 points (7 threes) against Bulls
23 points 8 assists against Pacers
You can't really say he looked awful in summer league when he had so many spectacular moments. To sum up his overall performance you could say it was up and down and inconsistent (like it is for most rookies) but you can't sum up his entire SL as awful since he had so many amazing moments after his poor start.

smart. it's exactly what he needs to focus on. get faster and in better condition and just put up 3s. should have done that last summer.
i see people are still falling for the fake hustle.
he does this every summer, training camp, and a week or 2 into the regular season, then you reverts back to his old habits.
this is his issue
