Beat by 42 by Indiana tonight.  Congrats Lebron - you and Rich Paul have destroyed your current team... :laugh:

This was the best part - the Indy fans were chanting to Ingram on the free throw line “Lebron is going to trade you!” 😂
wish I could have been there to chant along with them.  hope their whole team hears gets that treatment in the Garden

McGee was at the line. The fans gave him the "not worth trading " treatment

I like Russell better, but the Lakers got SUPER lucky in that deal by acquiring the pick that became Kuzma. If they had Russell, they wouldn't have Kuzma to offer.

They would have just taken Kuzma at #28 (instead of the #27 pick they got in the trade).

The player they would have probably missed out on is Josh Hart.

This is hilarious. The drama with Lebron May soon outshine the talent. If they don’t get Davis or another star it’s going to be kind of sad. Lebron used to really bother me but I can’t really hate athletes in the twilight of their career either

Russell, while immature, and once young made some mistakes. But hes a huge reason the Nets are in the playoff race..Hes dropping 19.6 PPG, 6.4 APG, and working harder on defense, and defensive rebounding more. (All in 29 mins!!!)

I like his game and I cannot believe the Lakers gave Mozgov that contract. I really think Russell would've benefitted from LeBron; could've been a nice duo.

--

Zion is dropping 22/9/2 with over two steals and two blocks per game. He can turn into lob city at any moment..

But hes super young and seems like his body is definitely NBA ready. I feel the same with Luka, like I do with Zion. It just really doesn't make sense lol.

Could you explain more what you find wrong with Zion, and do you think he can reach it?
If I'm Demps, I hold out for 3 reasons.

1) Zion

2) Tatum

3) More offers

Don't get the Zion hype, outside of the usual overvaluing of draft prospects prior to the draft. I just don't think his game will translate well to the NBA against actual bigger, stronger, and faster men.
I don't put stock in players'  NCAA stats. They aren't the best indicators of NBA success. Like you I have a bunch of questions regarding Zion and my concerns are more do to his obvious lack of certain skills that would make him so much better in the NBA.

Pretty much this. The only thing that stands out about him is his elite athleticism, but that’s not going to get him very far on its own against bigger and more athletic competition. It’s also unclear what exactly he is in the NBA positionally.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

They were already going to be aggressive, this one game isn't going to change anything. They need some more depth badly.

I still think they end up only doing something tiny, and then use buyouts for the rest of their needs.

Wait. You mean adding Butler wasn’t enough? The loaded talent is not enough for that team?

Lol on Silver Screen & Roll (Lakers SB Page) one of their main articles up is, “has LaVar overstayed his welcome” and that his comments regarding Lonzo not playing for NOP may have killed their chances at landing AD :laugh:

You guys realize bringing up guys who are gonna get traded for AD might not be the thing to do when Tatum, Brown, et. al. are playing, right?

I couldn't agree more. I'm all for sticking with what they have - assuming Kyrie and Horford stay around.

In the Anthony Davis column, I'm told Jayson Tatum has definitely been discussed in Pelicans-Celtics talks. Both sides know that he'd be a major part of the discussion in June
