Lakers gave up JC and Larry. Are you expecting JC and Larry to get better than they are now? |

When we don't land two all stars does it look like it was a good trade to give up two players who look pretty GD good in CLE right now for a midlevel draft pick? Cause that cap space is going to be wasted and all because the Lakers could not wait until after this year to see what they had in those players.

Ok whoever bumped this. Scared the crap out of me.
All these thoughts raced thru my head. What could they be announcing? Since trading is over, I thought it was Lonzo out for year. |

You don't have to be angry at all, you can be happy with IT and hope we resign him because in your mind he is the best player on the roster. Whatever you want to believe is your choice. But you might get angry if JC and Nance help the Cavs win a championship. That might sting a bit unless you like watching the current Laker teams play for the #1 draft choice.

IT is the best player on the team? Weird take. If I ever wrote that, I forget. Maybe there was some context to it. Anyway. Would it sting if JC and Larry helped the Cavs win a chip? Perhaps. Do I think they will win. I dont.
Do I think the team is playing for the #1 draft pick? Since they don't have their own pick I doubt it happens.
So I'll be hoping for that cap space to be used. You can wish for it to not so that you can be proven right. Go Lakers, right? |

I honestly don’t know. The Pelicans do have a forum, I read that sometimes.

My meaning with playing for the #1 Draft pick was the Tanking our team was doing the last 3 years. I am sick of tanking to keep those 1st round draft picks.
I won't have to wish to be proven right. I will just be right. You can hope we use that cap money correctly but if you are banking on 2 Max Players, you will be disappointed this coming FA period. That is not hoping the team will do poorly. It is just stating an opinion based on what will happen with LeBronze and PG13. Will I be happy? Obviously I won't since I have been pretty much (bleep) all over this trade from the moment we signed the paperwork on the deal. I was happy when we still had JC and Nance. We got hosed in this deal and we basically detonated this season and the positive direction this team was moving in is gone. There is not a shred of team left out there. The FO just hollowed them out and filled them with IT and all his baggage.

If u think JC and Larry had as much value as those guys then sure.
We have difference of opinion on how we value players. |
