LAC feels like Bulls-lite. If everyone stays healthy, LAC could seriously win 2-3 together, at least!

Leonard = Jordan-lite
George = Pippen-lite
Williams = better shooter Harper
Beverly = Kerr with rabies and adrenaline overdose
Zubac = Longleyish 2.0

Welp, seems like your boy Cris Carter was made the barking fool by Kawhi and his group to confuse the media while he was made ignorant of the real negotiations. But damb that KD-Kawhi duo would have been icy fire.

On that note, why KD why? I get it why not NYK because fuck Dolan, But why NJ? And why with Keyeri3?

I guess its a birds and feathers things of that sort....

Question: Would there be a downside to just trading away all of your draft picks and just working through free agency/trades?

You would have virtually no underpaid players aside from elite Max players. So unless you consistently sign or trade for the top guys each time, you will suck. Even if you do its going to hit your wallet hard, and the team will have little to no depth.

Yah, too bad KD already committed to playing with his buddies in Brooklyn. Kawhi + KD would've been an awesome pairing. I think it actually works out better than Kawhi + George because KD learned to play off the ball with the Warriors.

Kawhi causing earthquakes with his signing. I should've checked espn when my bed started shaking.

I believe they all expire after this year so IMO he masai either flips them for assets or just let’s them expire and rebuilds around siakim and OG. They need to hit in the draft bc once those two hit their extensions cap space disappears and next years free agent class is headlined by players already on their roster. Pretty barren

As an objective Lakers fan I think the Clippers have the better squad also, if for no other reason than their depth is used to playing together.

The size of the Lakers though has me excited. With McGee, Cousins and Davis we have quite the 3 man front court rotation, which means we can slide Lebron back to the 3 instead of giving him minutes at the 4 (which he can still play.)

Lack of perimiter depth is still a problem, but we're definitely a lot better off this season than we were last season, provided of course that these dudes stay healthy.

The Lakers problem is not health nor perimeter depth, but its simply + Show Spoiler +
Lebron
. Many people think that the vet squad will kinda make things work, but the problem that I identified will bomb them all: will turn AD into a weak stretch 5, will make Rondo ball watch, will emphasize Cousins weakness (shitass attitude and shittier ass outdated low post game), and will make Lebron feel his age + Show Spoiler +
ok ok
. The only player I see benefiting is Danny Green, and if he somehow regains his 2014 form, then MAYBE they can squeeze in past the first round.

meh, 2018/19 Danny Green will be just fine for the Lakers. Green led the NBA in 3 point percentage in 2018/19 and played very good defense. When you are 32 years old and your pay goes up by 50% on a new deal its usually because you had a good year when you were 31.
Picking up Danny Green was a good move by the Lakers.

Welp, seems like your boy Cris Carter was made the barking fool by Kawhi

the tweet you referenced in your post turned out to be correct. Carter is not "my boy" he is Kawhi's media liaison as i stated. Check my skepticism of Carter's analysis of Irving early in the year. Outside of internal Kawhi Leonard issues, Carter's reliability is ok but not great.

The size of the Lakers makes me more convinced thier front office is dumb as rocks. LeBron is a 4 now defensively, full stop. AD is a 5. You can't play both+ Kuzma + another of Cousins/Javale. That team can't play defense.

Raptors taking a flier on Hollis-Jefferson. 1 year deal. They've done the same thing with Stanley Johnson.
twitter.com

its nice to see Delon Wright find a permanent home. Mavs and Grizzlies execute a sign and trade to give Wright a 3 year deal with Dallas.
https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2019/7/7/20684798/nba-free-agency-2019-mavericks-sign-and-trade-grizzlies-rfa-delon-wright

If Delon can stay healthy he can be worth more than the deal Dallas gave him. He had 2 right shoulder separations after surprisingly minimal physical contact. Before that, his 1st ever shoulder separation was the result of a brutal collision. He shoots with his right hand making recovery from shoulder separations a bit more difficult.

Delon Wright was a really solid citizen for the Raptors. He kept his mouth shut and didn't whine when a lot of his minutes ended up going to Fred VanVleet. I'd say almost all of the Raptors fan base is pulling for Delon.

it'll be interesting to see if Markelle Fultz' nerve decompression surgery fixes his shoulder problem long term.
https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orlando-magic/os-sp-magic-fultz-shooting-20190706-lc45mzp3yfbsrez32k4v2weyhy-story.html

its cool to see Orlando give Fultz some privacy.

And? They are thin elsewhere, why both? If one gets hurt that is a midseason acquisition (also Lebron should be playing some minutes at the 5 defensively). Danny Green was, IMO, a perfect pickup, but one I thought they were going to try to make before they cleared out the $32 mil for a max guy. He makes me have slightly more faith, but I think their total package of pickups is very weird outside of Green.

Obviously its a hard job to fill in around Lebron/AD/Kuzma because they all want to play frontcourt, and only one plays great defense consistently now, but the current moves are confusing aside from Danny Green. KCP is not a good fit as well. They prolly need to sign a bunch of PGs to "back up" Cook who certainly shouldn't be a starter for a playoff team.

One issue that will make GS worse in next year's playoffs that i've not seen brought up: Klay won't be as good. What Klay Thompson did in the 2019 playoffs is not repeatable. I've never seen a long distance bomber hit so many very well defended 3s. I can't see Klay ever doing that again.
