Just another genius take from you.... we should celebrate an ignorant man doubling down his ignorance and further propagate misinformation about something that would save lives.  Good for him, indeed,

This post has no place on the basketball board and I'm furious at myself for even replying...  but if you think that MRNA vaccines were only been developed for 6 months and that's all the research beh

Lowry was the 3rd or 4th best player on a team that didn't do shit last year. He's worth $30M per for multiple years? Tfoh

Yeah, this really seems to be teams thinking he will bring a  CP3 impact to their team.    Which is wild cause I would have serious reservations giving CP3 that kinda contract at his age so I damn sure wouldn't be anxious to do it for the knock-off version of CP3

And someone will do it, and I suspect it’ll help some you team that needs a veteran. Maybe not quite as impactful as Paul.

I wouldn’t want him for 35 for multiple years. But 2 years at 30? Like for my team Dallas? He’d help fix a few flaws for sure.

I dont really get why DAL would need him anyway.   He's not going to have the ball and that would be the way for him to be most effective.

I'd give Lowry 3 years at 20 per but I wouldn't smile doing it. Dallas isn't one player away, so bringing him in on that salary for 2 years is meaningless.

Would get us through the KP years. Don't see how the Mavs win big until KP is gone.

Lowry shoots 40% from 3, is a secondary ball handler and not a complete liability on defense. 

The other options are overpaying Lonzo or maybe John Collins.

If Lonzo's reworked shooting motion carries over, I would take him over Lowry right now. Though, he might be able to play off the ball as well as Lowry can right now.

Or they're not serious about trading him.

If they’re not, they should be.

After what happened vs Atlanta, Philly cannot go into next season with him on the roster.  They just can’t.  Philly fans would be absolutely brutal towards him at home games and it would be a circus.

Not so much.   Fans are fickle.   If he actually works on his game and comes out playing well next yr all will be forgiven.........until he stinks again of course

Thats been the persistent rumor that he doesnt work on his game so its definitely possible.

He's prolly been somewhere laid up with her:

And I cannot be totally mad at that.

I mean, he barely looks like he's worked on his game since his one year at LSU, so why start now?

Lakers get some great shooting.....

 

Wait just a minute!!!!  Westy is owed 91-92m over the next 2 years (assuming he takes advantage of his PO), which is a ton, but man that's a light load coming back.  I guess financial flexibility.  Shows the Supermax doesn't always help these mid-market teams.

wonder where lonzo will end up?  if i was a team with some cap space, i'd take a shot on him.

I would gladly take him back on the Lakers. I did not want him shipped out in the Davis trade because I do not believe you give up on point guards that early. I realize he had to be included in that deal, but I’d take him back yesterday.

We were both just saying that Russ wouldn't be in WAS much longer.   I knew the Lakers were going to be big name hunting but that is a lot to give up for a guy that WAS pretty clearly wanted out of anyway.

Lakers are all in for the next few years. They will worry about the future later on. Those guys they are getting rid of are not huge factors to them winning a title right now. Washington did not get some haul if that is all they get for RW.

Its WAY more than they should have got for a guy they clearly didnt want.    And they can use all of those guys to make other deals.   And if they really are on Simmons for Beal this clears the way for that too.

 

EDIT:   And if you think about it further they got out of what was supposed to be an untradeable contract in John Wall and turned it into multiple guys with tradeable deals and a 1st tonight.   I bet the WAS GM couldn't accept that offer fast enough.
