Wolves a +11 on the boards, and also a +11 edge on the offensive glass at 12-1. That's sad.

It’s quite reasonable to look at trading AD for another superstar… he has not elevated his game at all.

AD probably on his last max contract. Nobody in the league will give him another one after this one.

I'd trade him for some decent shooters that can fit the system...

This is a business and Bron needs to realize this, but because he is close friends with AD he won't let that happen and will probably demand a trade and to be honest I'd role with that.

Having a bunch of old turds just doesn't happen in today's game, heck Lakers tried this years ago with Malone/payton/Rodman etc etc it just doesn't work out.

Edit: I'd rather a team full of Reeves and Caruso's then having a bunch of old farts like this - and I'm kind of old my self, well late 30's LOL

This Vanderbilt dude has 8 offensive boards. The entire Laker team has one...ONE :lol:

Shot 38% from the field, 28% from behind the arc, outrebounded 61-36, turned the ball over 18 more times tonight. Just when you thought this team was about to turn the page, they come out with another garbage effort.

Too bad he just started his contract. $43 mil by 2024, ouch.

After this injury, no one will want him any way

He is done for a few weeks IMO

This team is genuinely worse to watch than the Baby lakers.

I think Vogel has taken this group as far as it can go, I'm not sure who we could bring in mid season but its clear we aren't going to do much this season anyway. Not even entirely his fault, the roster construction as it turns out is attrocious.

Wayne Ellington should genuinely be released tonight, what does he provide to this team, same with Melo (as much as it pains me to say it), they're both just chucking it and being generally detrimental to this teams chances of winning basketball games.

Would be great if the team released Melo. The definition of a chucker. Ellington i'd keep he'll get hot from time to time. Melo wants to do more than just shoot catch and shoot. Thats where his problem lies.

Team has a plethora of issues that we cant fix. Get healthy and see how this team looks.

Damn those off season trades to hell and damn Pelinka to basketball hell as well.

At least that Cp3 will probably still be having a bigger winning impact than charmin AD

It’s cause Melo thinks he’s that guy. Get the ball, stop it, Jab Jab jab, one dribble pull up, spin pull-up, whatever pull-up but shoot it.

Melo sucks, always has

And probably still more durable than AD too.

God this team is trash. Why did I even tune in ? I guess I let those 3 wins fool me.
