RE: AROUND the NBA: Danny Green tears ACL+LCL | CP3 Apparently Hurt? - Kammrath - 05-18-2022 https://twitter.com/TheNBACentral/status/1526963675902398467 RE: AROUND the NBA: Danny Green tears ACL+LCL | CP3 Apparently Hurt? - BasketballJones41 - 05-19-2022 https://twitter.com/thenbacentral/status/1527362090586910726?s=21&t=UEynU11RsQBAAQwdnPeS7A I know he’s probably full of shit but there’s no financial way for them to bring Lavine while keeping LeBitch and AD is there?

Have to get rid of Westbrook somehow, bring in Zach at 38 mil, and also shed 17 mil of space (only like 7 mil if they renounce the rights to all their min guys) in the process to stay under the tax apron. They only have 2027 (and 2029 I think) available to make that happen. The only assets they remotely have are THT, Nunn, and Stanley Johnson. In short, fat chance imo. Are the Bulls interested in Westbrook? I don't think so. Especially if it's costing them Zach Lavine. What would be interesting is an Anthony Davis for Lavine swap. Now that I can see happening. The only question is are the Lakers that much better with Westbrook/Lavine/Lebron vs. Westbrook/Davis/Lebron? I don't think so. You can make a solid argument that it makes them worse too. Odds are Westbrook turns into John Wall as well. RE: AROUND the NBA: Danny Green tears ACL+LCL | CP3 Apparently Hurt? - dirkfansince1998 - 05-19-2022 Boston bounces back. Shouldn´t forget that they missed Smart in game one. Today he was back and delivered big time. 24pts 13ast. But even more important quarterbacking the defense.

I think the Laker realize their championship window with LeBron is shut and that's why they seemingly aren't spending what little assets they have left to try to ditch Westbrook. They are just looking further down the road which is smart.

He's an electrifying player and is a top 15 scorer in the league. But where are you going as a team with him as your number 1? Bulls were stuck on a treadmill for years with him (not that they gave him much). Spending basically the last ounce of your trading lifeforce for Lavine to me is foolish and desperate. And I don't think it's even possible without throwing in AD. Which makes it even more foolish and desperate.

Bulls were stuck on a treadmill for years with him (not that they gave him much). I was just thinking out loud about your AD for Lavine swap. Lakers aren't going anywhere but towards a rebuild. I don't think Lavine is going to win you anything but he's younger than AD and you can always trade him later on. RE: AROUND the NBA: Danny Green tears ACL+LCL | CP3 Apparently Hurt? - F Gump - 05-20-2022 The Lakers are so depleted of assets. I hear all the woofing about their commitment to be a contender right away coming from Laker world, from J Buss and LBJ especially, but unless some other team takes Westbrook off their hands, I don't see how they get there. The cupboard is so bare. 1 There's Lebron and AD, who are good on paper, but have to be healthy for almost every game to carry them, but those days seem to be long gone. 2 Westbrook will be next to impossible to move and if he's playing a major role, how is that helpful to winning? 3 No picks to use in a trade. 4 Almost nothing else. The depth was a bunch of spares and washed guys, most of whom are FAs. Their cap will probably limit them to spend Taxpayer MLE and minimums. It doesn't look like a place where a veteran will come and take a small deal to win a ring. Does anyone see something promising they can do?

Boston has the look this year like they're finals bound, even with a rookie coach. This will be a long series I believe, Heat not done yet, but if PJ Tucker has to miss time because of that knee injury, that hurts Miami big time because he guarded Tatum primarily. As for Marcus Smart, dude just does what needs to be done to win, and Horford and Grant Williams have been playing lights out. Boston has that look.

BIG salary next year though he's an FA after next year though so any cap hit is temporary. He'd probably help attendance for a re-building team and maybe even sign an extension if they agreed to draft Bronny. AD isn't a favorite around here, but he is under contract through 2025 with an early termination option (I don't know if it's a PO or TO) in 2024. I would however suggest that AD is exactly the center DAL is looking for to pair with Luka. Decent handles, good rim protection, nice inside game and respectable outside shot. Maybe, just Maybe, I'd consider taking him on. Especially if we could do it for something like THJ+Bertans+FRP. Neither Nunn or THT are on my radar as moving the needle. But wiser heads may disagree. RE: AROUND the NBA: Danny Green tears ACL+LCL | CP3 Apparently Hurt? - ItsGoTime - 05-20-2022 If I was LAL, I'd trade LeBron. He's already basically saying he's gonna leave to whatever team Bronny is going to. If they can retrieve some of the package they used to get AD, I think it's a no brainer. Either that or use LBJ to get off of RW's contract in a 3 team trade.

And if I'm trading him, I'm keeping Westbrook and just eating that dog food for a year. I'd be an asset collecting mode so sacrificing LeBron's value to get off of Westbrook doesn't jive, especially if I have no shot at contending.

Curry has the perfect team built around him. We saw how well he did last year with a slightly-less-than-perfect team.
