I guess they have a potential deal that he will extend his contract for 3 years to go to Beantown. Has to wait till after they sign Gordon. Also, you sir are not a Big Baller for doubting Lonzo will take the Lakers to the playoffs this year! e; Woah, this is good news for me, no PG in LA probably equals no Lebron in LA either!

Is PG's preference for the Lakers anything more than he's from Cali?

MourningView posted:Yes if you handwave away the best thing they did and pretend it didn't count I guess they didn't do that well. I'm sorry but drafting the French Thabeet at 26 and having him turn into David Robinson is a pretty big fluke for a FO that consistently fails to find replacement level players in the lottery. And even if you take Gobert into account I think Utah has drafted poorly, let good players walk for nothing, and failed to unearth any gems via trade, D-League, or free agency. It's disappointing that injuries have derailed them, but that doesn't change the fact that the FO has been mediocre at best.

If your barometer is any success is a fluke and any failure is institutional then I can see why a 50 win team would look like a failed rebuild. If they lose Hayward it'll suck, but dumping him last year would have been a bad move too. I'm not sure what else they should have done.

Jota posted:It's so unbelievably dumb. It's not actually that many people though. The vast majority are focused on the awesome. Colangelo gave a very strange press conference last night in which he acted like they didn't trade Evans or Sterling Brown. People are theorizing that he has to wait until a certain date to finalize anything because the Sixers are almost at the cap for $ received in trades in 2016-2017; i.e. if they were sold for $, it's not going to be for the absurd $100k amount that Nissan Nudist Cup was upset about.

Diva Cupcake posted:Dolan not giving a poo poo about the Knicks seems like a pretty great development. He cared a ton when Isaiah was running things. I love it. Let him run around with his crappy blues band. On the flip side the Knicks were somehow more successful with him running things.

Those two weren't at the presser today so he obv traded them and it will be done July 1. Who cares tho. They had tons of second rounders and have many more next year. They obviously can't make them all.

Because giving away assets for literally nothing is the dumbest thing on the planet and a gross insult. The only reason to do it is because the owner is Mr. Scrooge I'm also ticked off that they did not ditch Okafor and drafted a dubious euro big man

They didn't give pick away for nothing . Jfc. They tried to trade for a future pick and apparently no one bit. They didn't see anyone worth stashing. And they couldn't see anywhere to package picks and move up. So what do you do ? Sell the pick and move on.

https://twitter.com/AlbertNahmad/status/878302967438336000 Paul George actually does have some financial incentive to R+E in a trade with Boston (or anyone, assuming he's happy with the immediate destination)

You draft a guy there and you cut him in October. So what's the point.

Also it's seems like a bad move with respect to agents and your rep as a front office to draft guys you obviously are going to cut and will likely be ignored by the coaches who are concentrating on integrating two number 1 pick rookies.

The point is on the off chance you were wrong and he doesn't suck, he's Malcolm Brogdon or Isaiah Thomas or Draymond Green, you sold him for money that doesn't matter from a team building perspective. But then again maybe your boss(es) just really wanted the money

Hm, I don't love the idea but it's also not that serious. Yeah everyone would love to find a Draymond in the 2nd round but as things are, we barely have enough minutes to go around for our 1st round picks. Summer league can't come soon enough.

They don't have roster spots or opportunity tho. Everyone they drafted other than fultz is stashed.
