Pretty much every 'shooter' we've ever traded for and many of the one's we've signed as free agents, all get to LA and all of a sudden, suck at shooting... So, I think we'll see what ends up on the buyout market for that.

That and not wanting to spend any money. The plan was to be bad and cheap and hope you get lucky with the lottery and a pick.

Add Bulls to winners. They got the best player in the deadline, and can legitimately rise to 4th ahead of those other teams in the middle of the pack out east.

LeVert is the only questionable move to me. Allen and Wood isn't a good fit and Allen is about to get paid. They could have held Allen and LeVert to the deadline but you probably win more games and you don't know if the market will be better today than it was when they traded them.

Dallas with more shooting should be big concern to the lakers, nuggets and clippers.

Just giddy. Not a single needle move of note by any of the contenders. Lowry staying put makes me so happy.

Mavs getting two shooters? JJ can barely play more than 10 minutes in a game and is only shooting 36% from 3. While Melli is shooting 19% from 3 this year and is a 31% 3pt shooter so far in the NBA.

Pels getting a gritty veteran forward? Sure a gritty veteran forward that cant shoot and father time is showing like crazy when it comes to his athleticism and defense.

So in different words, a whole bunch of nothing in exchange for a whole bunch of nothing.
