Vanilla Mint Ice posted:Yeah I'm not hating on the trade on the lakers side as much as you guys seem to be. What I don't get is why the nets would make this trade it makes sense for the Nets to do this, they can roll the dice with Russell and see how he can do with a team that isn't actively looking to shut his poo poo down

Lopez is an expiring contract that they're probably not even interested in re-signing. Am I wrong to be thinking that?

Sunk cost fallacy and all but paying to dump a contract that you literally signed less than a year ago that was immediately mocked is one of the sadder things I've seen a team do. russell is a keeper on my fantasy team he better not get stuck behind caris lavert or some dumb poo poo

DeimosRising posted:I don't actually think the Cavs were coasting in the regular season. In the playoffs they were the same thing they were in the regular season: a really good offensive team (but moreso!) that sucked on defense (also even moreso!) and was gently brushed aside by the first legit team they played, a team that never looked like they were being pushed and seemed to find the Cavs' game 4 hot streak kind of funny. In the regular-season the Cavaliers finished 10-14. Then in April/May playoffs they started 12-1. That's textbook levels of coasting. DeimosRising posted:If Draymond could resist his lust for balls for just 48 game minutes, Lebron would be on a four year finals losing streak without having to play a single team with a 5+ SRS before getting there. I don't see coming in second place four straight years as much of an issue. The finals record framing is misleading. Nobody ever said Karl Malone was on a nineteen year losing streak. You're overemphasizing regular-season SRS. The Cavaliers will be a year older and more likely to lose in the finals in 2018. LBJ is staring down being 3-6 in the finals. 3-7 and 3-8 in the finals. LBJs finals numbers continue to improve as he gains more experience: code:ex post facho posted:i don't think it's really shortsighted to think that wahtever team lebron and curry are on are favorites to make it to the finals for the next 5 years, or i guess until lebron finally starts breaking down, which will admittedly probably happen in the next 3 years Your extrapolations are completely unprecedented. The talent level concentrations would be indiscernible.

Wow I didn't realize Lopez only averaged 5.4 rebounds per game last season. That's pretty underwhelming for a 7 footer.

What pg's agent wants doesn't really mean what pg wants or even cares about so that seems like a really silly tweet unless it's written weird and was meant to say that pg wanted to play with dlo

Tae posted:So basically they're giving up the #2 overall pick for a contract that almost everyone thought was bad and signed on the first day of free agency as the first center signed. This may very well be the right move but it's depressing to me. I didn't love Russell but giving up on a young player to get out of a contract that they celebrated/touted is grim. I understand it was the previous GM who made the signing and the pick so maybe both felt tainted to the new guys, but this fouls up the idea of a young core that was going to be allowed to grow together.

The entire state of IL is threatening bankruptcy (first time a US state has done this IIRC). This could be the final straw. Spacebump posted:Shows the value of a coach that isn't dumb enough to try to make statements by taking minutes away from some of the better players on the team. Shades of Butch Van Breda Kolff. Which players? Tae posted:How is that different from the last 10 years LBJ won't even be there.

Drunk Canuck posted:I thought the Wade staying in Chicago news would be the peak laughing point of today but then here COME THE SUPER LAKERS. wade declining his option would be shocking, that's his last payday until he starts his line of fancy pantaloons or whatever he does in retirement, dude is totally checked out on a lovely team and will probably play like 30 games next year while collecting his $24 million, he's already got his rings, he's in the HoF, and they're putting his number in the rafters in Miami.

I don't watch the nets either but just one guy's rebounding numbers don't mean much. The lakers could just let randle handle the board no?

I don't think Brook Lopez factors into their long term plans anyway. As a 1 year guy to get 20ppg and keep the team losing he's not a bad option I just think this jeopardizes their odds at Paul George. I'd be worried Cleveland gets him and he enjoys making the finals. Maybe they could put together a package of the 27 + 28 + Future 1st + Randle / Ingram for George but I really doubt Indiana is that desparate
