Well i'm a Bucks follower (can't really be a supporter if i'm never going to see them live - maybe in the o2 one year). Anyway they're having a great season this time around (Top of the East); Giannis is a beast and the rest of the team compliment him so well.
Apparently not ruling out deals with the Bucks, Clippers or Knicks too. Though i'd assume this is all designed to make LA act now.AD to the Lakers soon. Lonzo, Kuzma, Ingram, and Zubac plus a 1st round pick. They’re not getting a better offer than that!
Not before the deadline. Celtics can better it in the summer though. Personally hoping that it goes wrong for bothAD to the Lakers soon. Lonzo, Kuzma, Ingram, and Zubac plus a 1st round pick. They’re not getting a better offer than that!
He’s already said he won’t sign for Boston long term, I don’t know why they’d still pursue it. Especially with Kyrie interested in free agency and potentially teaming back up with Lebron.Not before the deadline. Celtics can better it in the summer though.

You’re right that it’s a rental but the Pellies shouldn’t care. And Boston May feel they need to swing for the fences to try to keep Kyrie.He’s already said he won’t sign for Boston long term, I don’t know why they’d still pursue it.

Anyone think Lebron, AD and Kyrie plus some role players could take down a KD-less Golden State next year?
The fact that nobody serious will join them in free agency may scupper them. Not sure what the point in hoarding cap space is in this circumstance. They should probably be taking on bad money for draft picks.All about the Sacramento Kings this year. Actually winning games, have the best young side in the league and with a ton of cap space for free agency.
Be actually mental if they make the playoffs for the first time since 2006, but even if they don’t the future is looking weirdly rosey (can’t wait to see them ruin it somehow)
Another factor is that the Pels apparently like Tatum.You’re right that it’s a rental but the Pellies shouldn’t care. And Boston May feel they need to swing for the fences to try to keep Kyrie.
Hopefully the absolute circus will continue and they’ll be less than the sum of their parts. The power dynamic between ageing LeBron and the other two would be interesting too - before we even consider which patsies they'll be able to get to coach them.

Yep. Tatum has a much higher ceiling than anything lakers can offer. Not sure he’s a franchise level player either mind. The whole thing is difficult for the Pels as I don’t know how they can tank well enough to get a high draft pick either in the short term either.Another factor is that the Pels apparently like Tatum.
That Lakers young core is nice though. Plus the Lakers are willing to provide salary cap relief.Yep. Tatum has a much higher ceiling than anything lakers can offer.

The young core is decent but I’m not convinced there’s an all star among them - and they’re too good to properly tank.That Lakers young core is nice though. Plus the Lakers are willing to provide salary cap relief.
I think the Pels are wanting over a handful first round picks too though. Got LA over a barrel. Still think they’ll get their man though.
Think Kuz and Ingram could be, but they’re definitely not anywhere near yet. Would be risky. However, the Pels turned down the Knicks offer of Porzingus + more, which makes me wonder whether they want an all star, because he is.The young core is decent but I’m not convinced there’s an all star among them - and they’re too good to properly tank.
Agreed. Just think that the lakers youngsters would leave them too good to truly tank but too bad to get anything other than an occasional playoff spot. The unenviable limbo.Think Kuz and Ingram could be, but they’re definitely not anywhere near yet. Would be risky.

Wonder if the Pels might come back to the table before the deadline. Those five players plus two first rounders is a decent haul after all. Also seen rumours of Lonzo to Phoenix so maybe there could be a 3 team trade that gets that high 2019 pick involved.I agree.
What do you think happens now? Lakers wait until the end of the season to use the cap space to sign another star in free agency? Kawhi?
