@esidery If Rob doesn't go hard after PJ after missing on Dort & Claxton and letting Smart, Kennard & Hayes go on fair contracts after way overpay for AR, Grimes & Kessler good not great players. Walter ride the boat with Rob and let Luka walk 2028 will not get Ring in LA with Rob as GM.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@NYSoul2x @esidery No way would PJ be a backup. Significantly better than Grimes, Jake, Mamu, Vando plus our other young picks. Mavs are shopping him we need to be buying. Heck to get 3 solid players and 1 starter. Offer AR, DK, Vando, Jake & Brony plus picks.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@esidery Trade Jake, Vando, DK, Hardy, Brony hate to lose Thiou but if only way deal gets done plus picks. Win Now Mode: puckup PJ, Gafford & Klay. Championship contenders Roster complete.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@esidery 100% lock in PJ for 4 years @ $90million there is our starting 3 or 4. Solid defender, good not great 3 pt shooter, proven performer with playoffs start and dependable. Rob Go Get PJ. Over paid AR,Kessler,Grimes. PJ is worth more than either AR or Grimes. Could argue Kessler.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@DanWoikeSports Rob made alot of changes gave away too much $ to good players not great players. Great players make All Star, All NBA & All Defensive Teams. We missed on Greek, Brown, Dort, Claxton, Duren, PJ & Gafford. Imagine Luka, AR, Dort, PJ & Duren. 2nd Sexton, Smart, Grimes, Rui, Gaf.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@TheLeadSM @MavsLead If Irving returns to his All Star level, and Lively can stay healthy and both give us minimum of 65 games I think this team can make the playoffs. But that's a big IF considering the past track records of Irving & Lively.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@TheHoopsAlerts Mavs cant keep Lively, Gafford, Cissi & Powell?
Would be a hoot if Lakers pickup Gafford & PJ plus they have Grimes & Luka. Would be a nightmare if that group won a ring. Nicco & Kidd would look even more foolish than they already do. Which though very rich still JOKES.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@TheHoopsAlerts PJ is a perfect starting wing for Luka. Solid defender and shoots the open 3 well. But most importantly he knows how to play next to Luka. I'd love to get him & Gafford.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@PurpGoldLakers Amazingly our American athletes sign huge endorsement deals with China. They get paid millions to sale their name & recognition to a country that has terrible human rights. Sale your soul and gain riches but lose respect from people who know the truth. Let the truth be told.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@rdubyafan @LukaUpdates @nytimes Lukas health was never the reason for his trade. Nico was never going to let a white EURO player the highest paid player under his watch. It's why he had Kidd & Irving throw Luka under the bus vs the Celtics. had we won no way could Nico not have paid Luka. Kidd & Irving got $.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@SpectrumSN @RealAClifton @Mike_Bresnahan @geeter3 Hope Carr, Thiou, Williams & Kamula are given fair chance by JJ early season. We really need 3 of them to be rotation players. Need to trade Jake, Brony, Vando & DK. For a starting wing: PJ or Watson. And backup center. Sure will miss Smart, Kennard, Rui & Hayes.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@Mavs_FFL Irving is 33 yrs old coming off ACL injury, his game based on speed & quickness and one of the top 5 handles ever. But in 14 seasons he has played over 65 games a total of I think 4 seasons. Father time does not favor his chances of playing over 65 over next few yrs.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@LakeShowCP Rob missed the mark pretty badly. 1. Massive overpay with player opition given away when not needed to AR & Kessler. Paid All Star money but neither has played well in playoffs or even played in Play off games at all. Luka better cook

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@RTNBA @RyanWardLA AR thinks much more highly of himself than his performance has proven. Guess that's why his only award lately was making the top 10 of most over-rated players. Lol. Brutal. Luka will be gone comes next contract. Rightly so.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@Mavs_FFL Continued, look at his facial & body language against the Celtics. He played 1 good game it that series and we Won big. Nico was never going to pay the white EURO boy a max contract on his watch. Kidd & Irving bought in and got paid handsomely. Then KARMA came around. BAM.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@Mavs_FFL Irving is a top 5 ball handler of all time. He & Luka were mentioned as forming possibly the best backcourt ever. But and I hate to think it but I do. NICO, Kidd & Irving were in on throwing Luka under the bus. Just look how great Irving played in those playoffs before Boston?

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@Fullcourtpass Lakers will depend on health & our wings. AR & Kessler have to play up to their contracts and it must show up in Wins not just stats.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@RTNBA @BleacherReport Listing AD first must be based on his availability and number of games he plays. I was amazed when AD was traded to Mavs and I looked up how many times their, Irvings career they played 65 games. They both are in their 14 season total 28. Irving 2 times AD 3 times? Both OR.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@TheLeadSM @LakersLead Trade Brony, DK, Vando & Jake (4 players) forget Kumingia is not the player, a negative impact on locke room. Go get PJ & Gafford. Start Luka, AR, Grimes, PJ & Kessler. 2nd unit: Sexton, Carr, Thybul, Mamu & Gafford. Rest, Williams, Hardy, Kamula. Looney. Thiou.

[Johnny Smith @Summitadh]

@Hero_OfThe_Day @The_BBall_Index I'd like to still add Gafford & PJ. PJ will start at 1 wing. Gafford backs up Kessler.
