AD to the Lakers really got CP back in here too huh
No sir, this thread is dead to me.
I pop in every 6-7 months to see if anything changes. It doesn't.

Kobe and Shaq argued, but at least they won 3 rings together.

Probably because not a lot folks talk hoop in good faith in here.
Too much of "you mad" as opposed to chopping it up about the game.
Crab mentality.

Real winners know how to put the bull**** aside and how to focus on the task at hand and get those Ws. MJ broke Kerr off with a right hook in practice for Christ’s sake and that never stopped the Bulls.
Random sidebar: I just realized Kerr has 8 rings (5x as player and 3x as coach)
At least he got enough for his fingers. Who cares about the thumbs.

I didn’t initially think the lakers overpaid for Davis, but the more time to let it sink in I do wonder if it was excessive through the prism of potentially netting a second trade
Sure, if they end up signing someone that was always their plan A. But **** does tend to go sideways
What would it have taken for Washington to give up Beal? Kuzma, Hart and that reverse protection for two future firsts enough? I feel like Lonzo, Ingram and 4 should have been a pretty competitive offer for Davis

My memory ain't what it used to be but I feel like CP has some old hot takes about Kawhi being a system player.
Old days this thread was thee #1 thread on NT. People who talked the whole league in and out, in detail. Then trolls took over and agendas and arguing over nonsense. Lot of the smarter heads dipped for good. Good to see JD, Dirk, Osh, P, pop in from time to time.
Every Spur is a system player while Pop is there.

According to @jjs07 Beal would have required Lonzo and Ingram and the #4 pick. Which was basically the centerpiece of this trade. The future picks are ultimately inconsequential since we'll be keeping at minimum our next 2 picks.
They kept Kuzma which was a huge cheap asset.

This wasn’t even from this past season. Ariza and Ryan Anderson are seen in the huddle and they weren’t even on the team/roster this past season.

Not really. You’re talking about interaction happening in the heat of the moment of a game. Which if I remember correctly this was a playoff game. Not sure why everyone thinks if it’s not looking like sunshine and rainbows there must be problems! Everything isn’t going to be absolutely perfect 100% of the time.
That’s worse because it means that this has been brewing for awhile

This is the perfect time for Boston to trade those picks for Kevin Love. It was always meant to be anyway.

It's bad over there. Where have you been, CP3 and Harden has been going at it all season. It's like a clash of leadership.

True, they need cheap viable rotational pieces, as many as they can get
On another note, there's talk of Pelinka being exec of the decade.. didn't matter who was at the helm, it's clear Lebby was ready to live out the end of his career in LA. If you want to give him credit for outfoxing LAC, that's fine
He's fortunate AD decided to roll with Klutch. What Pelinka did and could potentially do isn't special nor mastermind-ish. Literally any below average exec could have done the same thing. I'll judge him on the margins as it progresses

Not so much for the AD trade, that was more Griff and Rich Paul's relationship. I'm talking moreso if he brings that 3rd star in after everybody and their mama said no top free agents would sign here this summer. And the minutia he's apparently been into with orchestrating this trade to get everything in order to make that possible. He'll definitely shut up all his haters.

Lol, who ever signs him to $100 million deserves to be a lottery team.

If 33 year old Al Horford is getting 100M then maybe Splash Mountain is gone from Milwaukee
