Not sure if there's any truth to it but the local ESPN affiliate local guys here in Vegas on the way home were talking about the Lakers offering Russell to the Mavs for the 9th pick and Dallas said no before they moved onto the Brooklyn salary dump deal.

If that's true, isn't that kind of rather damning of D'Angelo that the Mavs would rather gamble on Smith or Ntlinka being better, along with the small chance they might not even get either, rather than have Carlisle try his hand at developing a guy who already has 2 years of experience under shittier coaches and is averaging nearly 16 points/5 assists in the league already?

Remember when the Spurs traded George hill for Kawhi Leonard, my ginger son davis bertans, and Erazem Lorbek (???)
That was pretty funny

The latest rumor I read is that Russell has attitude/immaturity issues the Lakers weren't willing to deal with. Could just be a smear campaign from LA though

I think in another year they probably could have got a pick (they apparently shopped DAR to a bunch of lotto teams) but this top-10 is so stacked that everyone wanted to see if their dream guy fell

I know there point guard rotation has been a shitshow ever since Kidd left but I think Carlisle kinda hates young point guards so that might have had something to do with it also. See: starting point guard Mike James in 2012-2013

What the gently caress. Yeah why keep future Dirk Nowitzki when you can trade him for poor man's Shawn Marion.

no way they're trading him, especially since pop did the whole "i'll not retire for you LMA (and also to coach the USA team in 2020)"

but lma and danny for porzingis might be a viable trade and it clears cap space to bring in cp3 too, i believe

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 weird thing about this is that Phil Jackson was one of the first people to break away from the "let's just draft the next Jordan-like" mold. I like Josh Jackson a lot, but he's not as set up for the modern game as Porzingis and is clearly the lost member of the line of Jordanumenoreans. Clearly Phil Jackson died and the clone they had of him was last updated in 1995.
