@llPOSll@Hunchosznx@Fullcourtpass They got on a big time roll when Reaves came back and Lebron became the facilitator and third option. Then they got hurt again. It’s just hard to see a path to really getting better.
@LakersHMA@TrevorLane@jovanbuha Why do the Lakers want to be an under the cap team. Seems like they need to be a below the tax team instead. Luca isn’t going to stay when the answer is “run it back” minus a couple key guys.
@C2_Cooper The West has 2 teams dominating and built by the draft. Then there are the Lakers and Twolves on the opposite end. Have to have both or it’s all too expensive.
@AlexGoldenNBA Unfortunately, this usually means good players on bigger second contracts or project players. We don’t have the $$$ to trade for good players. I’m afraid some of these East teams are gaining ground too. Are we going to make a trade now or wait for free agents?
Well, other than Brooklyn has said Minott is a developing talent on a min contract with a team option, Herb Jones extension kicks in for 27 and his contract goes to $20m, $22m, 24m. Kennard is coming off a 1 year $11m deal and isn’t taking a pay cut and Indy is hard capped at the first apron after the Bulls trade—$250k leaves zero emergency room, and we’ll be lucky if they cross the tax for the first time in 20 years. We can dream though!
@SergeantMartee We might as well stick with what we have and let Walker and Sheppard walk for nothing then trade them off for scrap heap players. Yes, cheap franchise and other East teams are aggressively moving to pass us up. Speaking of trades, where are they??????
@AlexGoldenNBA The biggest mystery for the Pacers right now. Will they cross the tax line???? I doubt it. Even if they can dump at the trade deadline. Only one OKC player left to steal too, Kenrich Williams.
