as a person who considers Tyson Chandler my favorite player, maybe ever, and thinks he should probably start coaching immediately as soon as he retires and also thinks he's exactly who you want in your lockerroom especially if you're developing young defensive bigs,

no loving poo poo, of course DJ is worth way more than Chandler and a pick. That can't possibly have been a full consideration, that would make no sense whatsoever

We weren't going to trade him last year or the year before that. Now that the team might actually break up, we'll move him and his bird rights to another team if the offer is right. I have no idea how that is worse than letting him go to the Mavericks for free.

Those were two separate thoughts. Phone posting so it comes out weird. Jordan plateaued a couple years ago, so they're selling low in the sense that his contract is pricier now.

And if he wasn't going to be part of your long terms plans, lol at the whole Mavericks thing. That trade proposed is absolutely retarded. They aren't going to get fair value for DJ by moving him. He's really loving good, Doc is a loving moron

Rick: Feb 23, 2004; When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

The part that gets me, is that the Lakers were able to trade for Dwight Howard, with much of the actual value of the trade being in large part out of assets that they didn't actually have. Somehow Mitch got several teams--some against their own best interests--to contribute to the Lakers trading a bunch of expiring contracts and two second round picks for a player who at the time was considered by some to be a top 5 player in the league (not me, but hey, I'm consistent), while still retaining their two best players, while still being already deep in the luxury tax.

I once heard a good story on a podcast somewhere or other that Kupchak would call the GM all the time, always making offers for things the Lakers didn't have, just to always be aware of what hypothetical deal could be made for a player they wanted (some other good GMs do this too, obviously).

Now the Lakers traded one of their best players to facilitate a salary dump that they didn't really need to do (at least at the moment), for something that might only hypothetically happen, without bothering to check to see if the pick they traded for was what either of the teams they are trying to pull a bigger trade off with even wanted, and are now left with yet another pick late in a draft that they fired 2/3 of the primary scouts for.

Would people really have been hating on D'Angelo so hard had he not made that stupid recording of Nick Young? I feel like a lot of people just kind of threw him into purgatory and he never struck me as an actual bad player in the way that some seem to have transformed him based on that stupid tape alone.

Or were you talking about Mozgov :rimshot:

If the Kings make their own picks, renounce Rudy Gay, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway, waive Arron Afflalo, and refuse to tender Ben McLemore a QO, they could have upwards of 65 million dollars in cap space.

I wonder what they'll do with it.

I wonder if they want my favorite team's bad contracts.

Langston opted out for reasons I can't understand but won't complain about. $67M they can spend and no big FAs who give a poo poo about us. I was hoping we'd just eat a bad Portland contact in exchange for a late first, which is why I'm annoyed that they didn't swoop in on the Russell deal.

Maybe we can eat that Noah deal for #8

Russell probably would've been screwed either way because Byron Scott blamed him for being fired and his number one advocate was Magic. The tape thing definitely had some of the fan base against him, and hurt his perception in fanbases around the league, though, which probably hurt his trade value. But even though a portion of the fan base didn't like him, he was by far the most popular player on the team in a post Kobe world.

Essentially Russell was a rookie last year, as the year before he had a coach who literally hated him and denied him any opportunity to learn and grow whatsoever.

If Langston can't get a bigger contract all 30 GMs are stupid. If you take my number 8 you'll probably just try to redraft Jimmer so don't even try! Yes it is "my" pick.

I really like having Noah on the team even though he doesn't play. He's the perfect tanking piece right now, keeps up morale despite sucking and can also show my boy Paps a thing or two about defense
