I'd be curious to know if Precious' name has been tossed around today.

All we've heard is Herro, I wonder if Miami has put Precious on that no trade rule too.

Nets are coming out of the East if they’re healthy, period. Same with the Lakers in the West.

What if Denver isn’t done


Lonzo to Denver


They could be a 3rd team in a John Collins to somewhere trade. Bogdanovic to Denver somehow would be huge


Nugs already won today. And still have Nnaji. And bol bol. And picks. And contract fillers like millsap, green, or even Barton.

AD's been out all season... Drummond takes more of the C load and frees AD to work his natural position more... That alone will improve the offense dramatically... They also will both improve our rim protection dramatically, which is actually where we've been getting beat.

No it's not. The Lakers have the clear #1 defense in spite of Gasol missing significant time, LeBron missing a few games, and Davis missing half the season. Moreover, as a Cavs fan who's watched every game I can tell you that Drummond is not a rim protector and it's crazy to suggest he's one.

Again, a team with LeBron James having a 17th ranked offense, even with Davis only playing half the season, is just atrocious. You give yourself the best chance to win a title by surrounding LeBron and AD with floor spacers so that Davis can operate in single coverage and so that LeBron can effectively drive and kick. Putting out a lineup of 31% 3P shooter Dennis Schroder, KCP who hasn't been able to hit the side of a barn for months, and Drummond who plants himself firmly in the paint, while neither LeBron nor Davis is an above-average catch and shoot 3 point guy, is a total disaster for the playoffs. Teams like Brooklyn and LAC are literally gonna double up the Lakers in 3 point makes and it's impossible to overcome that kind of math 4 out of 7 times in a series.


We've had the #1 defense based primarily on our perimeter play... We've been a layup line inside... Our interior D is ranked like 17th last time I checked. Our high block numbers have been from blocks on jump shooters, many of them from THT and his crazy long arms...

Shooting would help but we score enough to win games...
Lowry would be a luxury to have for the right price, but he's not likely to stick too long and we don't want to leverage our ability to pair AD with another star when LeBron retires, so we don't want to give up any asset that might be valuable down range...
Never have rice at Hanzo's house...

gives them outside shot i think right now there in 5th place

https://www.espn.com/nba/standings should easily pass the hornets with no ball so your looking at 3-4th seed
