@SamQuinnCBS It’s so annoying that Pelinka has only ever paid to lock up a defense first role player one time and it was Vando smh

[Cory @coryppl]

@forumbluegold He formed an opinion about centers being fungible watching Queta in the Celtics regular season last year but failed to update his priors after Embiid bounced them in the playoffs

@LAbound2 With what? A vet min?

[Cory @coryppl]

@GotEm_Coach Oubre just signed for less than what the lakers are paying Sexton! How many guys under 6’5 do we need?? Are there even any forwards on the roster??

[Cory @coryppl]

@SpikeEskin Maybe you’ll have more credibility on judging the merits of titles if you actually ever get to see the Sixers win one

[Cory @coryppl]

@SamQuinnCBS Not buying it. The Lakers have the smallest, most insular front office in the league. They don’t leak. If they are talking it’s intentional and it’s always to the same small select group. Siegel is no Lakers insider and his Lakers reports are consistently wrong

[Cory @coryppl]

@LAbound2 @iztok_franko Would NOT have been happy. Clax & Jax as a center rotation would get stuffed into the rim by Den, Hou etc. At least Ayton gives you a different look in a series as we saw vs Hou when Jax had no hope vs Senguin

[Cory @coryppl]

@damanr @hmfaigen Would rather have AD if that’s the case

[Cory @coryppl]

@AnthonyIrwinLA I’m not losing any sleep over Clax & Stew. Clax is way overrated imo. If our center rotation was him & Jax theyd get stuffed into the rim by Den/MN/Hou etc. Ayton outplayed him H2H last yr & at least gives a diff look vs bigger 5s. Stew makes $15M & got benched in the playoffs

@BigChrizzy @varietypaul @HPbasketball Parks & museums aren’t for profit enterprises. Taxpayers subsidize them bc they’re run as non profits for the benefit of all. It’s immoral to force working people to subsidize exclusive luxury items so that billionaires can keep more of the revenue. Major obvious difference

@jjmaples55 @gebguddaye Ya I saw the rockets. They made 0 attempts to replace their PG. Also saw ATL was the only to win 2 games vs NY in the playoffs after acquiring CJ at the deadline for a bag of donuts. Cant recall the last time a starting level wing or big was salary dumped like that

[Cory @coryppl]

@MarlowNYC A backup making $15M per year who got benched in the playoffs in favor of Paul Reed?

[Cory @coryppl]

@brosales12 After the combine most mocks had him going in the mid teens

[Cory @coryppl]

@JustRyCole Need to get it in a trade tbh. A backup center wasn’t changing anyone’s fortunes and there weren’t any starter quality center prospects left

[Cory @coryppl]

@JustRyCole Off the bench which is a great outcome for a mid 20s pick

[Cory @coryppl]

@LakersLegacyPod Youre crazy low on Dort imo. The #1 POA defender on an expiring who’s making Rui money isn’t a negative asset that OKC will need to attach comp to get off of. I know youve studied the market. You have to see that there aren’t better wings available who aren’t making $40M+ rite?

[Cory @coryppl]

@AnthonyIrwinLA Hopefully one day we’ll learn that if Heat are willing to let a guy go then that should be a red flag 🚩

[Cory @coryppl]

@Itsjustpingu Ware?? How many times do we have to do get burned by guys Miami is ok letting go before learning the lesson??

[Cory @coryppl]

@E_DUBBLE05 Free agents can be deliberate targets that fill a need. Imported = bring in from outside. Nobody on the team was drafted and developed. They were all acquired from other teams aka imported which is fine. More impressive than having good lotto luck like SA imo. Still imported tho
