What a dropoff. I wonder if it's age or if the overall discontent with Mitchell/Gobert is just spilling over and impacting the team.

Does this discontent all go back to simply the COVID stuff?

I wonder if they would trade him for Wall. Conley would probably be a good fit, personality wise, for a young Rockets team. It would suck that he would lose a chance at a ring, but maybe they then buy him out the following year

I don't know if the Rockets would want Westbrook back for Wall but the Lakers should try and get that done.

Wall has a player option this summer which he will certainly pick up at $47 million. I don't think OKC would stretch him but they could buy him out. Wall may give back $5 million or so as he can probably make that back with another team. His agent could also see if he could get the MLE somewhere and take a buyout of $37 million or less.

I wonder if the Suns would be interested. If they could get him on the cheap it would be a nice backup guard to have and if he didn't work out we could let him go. If it did, we could use him post Paul potentially. I doubt he will be in the market for a big contract so he might be reasonable.

As I've mentioned multiple times, I think they might be more interested in someone like Tyus Jones though since they won't be able to spend a lot on a PG with the cost of our core if we keep Ayton.

Never thought about Wall if/when he's bought out. Why would he want to go to the Lakers when he could have a chance at a ring with us. Maybe a microwave type scorer for us. Just can't shoot is the issue

What is Max Strus ceiling as a good role player right now starting on the Heat?

Interestingly his deal is guaranteed next season and then guaranteed for only $14.3m in the final year. Not too dissimilar to CP3 who is guaranteed for $28.4m next season and then guaranteed for $15.8m in the "final year". His actual final year is fully non-guaranteed.

One guy put up 22/11 on 66.3% TS. The other guy put up 9/5 on 43.2 TS% :noway:

Embiid out indefinitely

I can’t even imagine what he will look like if he goes to the clownshow LAL.

Damn, 15 report notifications from the GB related to the Embiid thread 10 by the same guy. That thread must be a little heated.

Not even Book could impart to Kat or Dlo the proper amount of BB IQ or maturity for winning.
We do get to see Dubs vs Grizz which hopefully should be real entertaining. Like to see the smug Death lineup get run into the ground for 48 minutes.

I'm glad ayton wasnt traded for vucevic, sabonis, or KAT.

Crazy stat I've basically known, but haven't really realized: Wolves had a 10+ point lead in 5 of the 6 games. In 2 (or 3) games they lost, they had a 10+ point lead in the (begining) of the 4th quarter. :O that's bad coaching and some dumb players right there... yes D-Lo I'm looking at you...

There were some complains about Suns resting and losing form at end of RS, but Luka's injury in last game of the season and Embiid's injury in garbage time are proof it's the right move. Heat will probably have an easy series now.

It's weird watching Giannis drive to the rim and not get a foul call from minor touches

That's not nice man. Not everybody can look like a model.

Half the Suns would be fouled out if we played Giannis like this.

Celtics look super overrated.

I want the Bucks out, they are our biggest enemy by far.

Who are you pulling for in finals?
