  1. Do you think a buyout is going to happen? He's never won a title, and I have to think that bugs him. Easiest way for him to get a ring right now is hopping on the Thunder bandwagon. He has history with the Rockets, Suns, Clippers and Thunder, LeBron is in LA, all of them are in the playoff picture. Plenty of options for him if he wants to chase a ring, which I would guess he does. If he does end up on the Lakers with a minimum deal, the outcry will be hilarious.
  2. Yeah I get that he's a good mentor, and I think OKC felt the same way about him, but OKC ultimately decided to cash out on CP3 and go with the younger guys. The return certainly isn't going to be the same here, but I would think there is some value. I also would be concerned that he may ask for a buyout if he's not traded, but that's something they need to determine with him. It's just about his last chance at a ring, and he's not getting it with the Spurs. I don't know what the market would be for him, but I think it's worth exploring. The Spurs aren't winning this year, and letting the young guys get dumb mistakes out of the way now will set them up to be better in the future. Maybe they need CP3 to help integrate Fox into the system, but I doubt it given how historically good that organization has been over the past few decades. CP3 has done a great job, but I think this is the season to take the training wheels off and let the young guys crash their bike into some trees. It may even result in a fortunate lottery pick that helps them even more in the immediate future.
  3. If Chicago wins the lottery and gets Flagg, I'll believe it. Like Ewing to the Knicks with the frozen envelope or LeBron to the Cavs, it just seems fishy.
  4. I can't believe Castle wasn't in that trade, he has looked pretty good so far. Lots of potential there. hopefully he and Fox can coexist, but I don't know if it can work unless Castle figures out how to shoot better. If I'm SAS, I look to move CP3 to the highest bidder if Anyone wants him. He knew what this was, and the team doesn't need him. Get the young guys more time on the court, and figure out how to integrate Fox with the remainder of the season. Next year should be a year to make a deep playoff run if all goes well.
  5. The Lakers should casually float the idea that they might be willing to trade Luka to the highest bidder if the price is right, and wreck all the NBA insider heads. It would be glorious.
  6. Congrats Spurs fans, this is a fucking excellent trade! 2027 SAS and 2031 Min FRPs were the only real picks in that bunch. The rest were all too protected to matter. Lots of 2nds, but who cares about them. Turning all that salary into Fox for 1.5 years is a great deal.
  7. To those saying Nico's career in the NBA is over, I think the Lakers might hire him as a consultant after he gets fired by the Mavs. Gotta keep someone like that close.
  8. Nico Harrison signed an extension as GM of the Mavs this summer, maybe he's trying to get fired so he can get the fuck out of there and be paid millions to leave?
  9. The silver lining in all of this is that there is still a chance that Luka just leaves the Lakers in free agency after next year and they end up being real shitty for a long time.
  10. Zion has conditioning issues, Luka has knee issues. Still, I would have thought Luka would fetch more in return.
  11. Wow, I guess the new owners of the Mavericks aren't too interested in winning a championship...
  12. I think Josh has a good chance of making it. He seems like he will play until he's 40 or so, and should be hitting some all time high stats. He might get a ring or two along the way. While we are on the subject, does Eli Manning belong in the HoF?
