[MVP]

The obsession with Buddy Hield is odd

Kobe took one pic with Buddy they been in love with him ever since

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It would be a 1 year rental at 18m versus just drafting a rookie on a cheap 3 year deal that could potentially be a better player. And then if you're trading picks you'd drop back all the way to 26 when the talent falls off around 20. I could see them doing the Nets trade but indy I don't get

I agree

Also there’s a guy on here that capes for Russ ****brick. Literally roots for clippers bc of him.

Weirdos.

 

[trynafeelmink]

The nets trade would be fine as well assuming it's DFS, he can knock down threes and is a more than capable defender on a good team as we saw in dallas. Trent & Heild are shooters who aren't really good defensively & aren't really good playmakers. We just saw how useful that is when shots aren't falling (see beasley)

We need shooters

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

No, we need BIGS

Shooters are a dime a dozen

 

[pmatic]

Need shooting because the offense isn't great (AD can be contained/has offensive warts, Bron slowing down, can you trust the others?) or two way play to prevent getting played off the floor come playoff time?

 

[MVP]

We shouldn't be going with any exclusive 1 way players ie (D-Lo, Vando).

Shooters are never shooters when they put on the purple and gold anyway.

 

[tupac003]

Not the trade with them I was looking for...

 

[pmatic]

C'mon Julian Strawther.

 

[sohi 23]

Jumped up to 40? I love it.
Perfect range to grab a player that slides.

rust never stood a chance here

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Based on the guys they've worked out they must really like somebody in that 40 range

 

[lovehateself]

in rob and co we trust

 

[essential1]

That kind of kills Buddy Hield or Myles opportunities

Based on value charts 17 & 40 is equal to the 13th pick if they want to move up to late lottery.

 

[king j]

Lakers must really want Kobe Bufkin

2023 NBA draft workout tracker: Where have prospects gone?

One of the busiest times of the year for NBA front offices is here. With the 2023 draft rapidly approaching, hopeful prospects are traveling from city to city, showcasing their abilities in private…

hoopshype.com

Believe last year they didn't work out Christie, they just interviewed him at the combine.

Don't think they've brought back any prospects back for a second workout like they did Swider last year.

Also keep in mind, these are just the prospects they officially announced. There's definitely been prospects they brought in but didn't announce.

 

[pmatic]

Must love someone to send that much money over.

 

[sohi 23]

4.35 mil to jump up 7 spots is insane ngl.
Come on Amari Bailey or Strawther

 

[lovehateself]

word
they couldve bought another 2nd rounder with that cash.

 

[thasoleful1]

Crazy they pulled that trade not even know who’s gonna be in that range. Literally anyone can be there at 40
