I dont think Cleveland has any assets to offer. I dont even think they have draft picks that can be traded until like 2020.


They do have a late 1st. Also that Jordan McRae guy but I don't know how good he actually is.

Lakers’ Nick Young conducts interview in Russian spa

Quote:
Young addresses other not-so-serious topics in the full episode. Young shares a not-so-believable story regarding his “Swaggy P” nickname. He raves about rapper Kendrick Lamar, who is Young’s cousin. And Young visits a Russian spa in what could partly account for his productive season thus far.

If Reddick bolts the Clippers, I think they give Young a decent contract.

If Young can play like he has been playing, be a huge upgrade for Doc and company

Is this Nick's best season given the roster and role he has? I like this year better than 2013-2014.

Unless CP3 and Blake walk the Clippers won't have much to offer anyone.

Young under coach Scott = Trade / Waive ASAP

Young under coach Walton = KEEPER (IMO)

He's playing great on both ends of the floor, and even though he's not an elite defender, he is holding his own and isnt getting burnt on plays.

I know what you mean, but he's going to command way too much money this offseason when he opts out. I'd rather the team move on.

True, but we only have 9 players with guaranteed contracts next year (3 vets, 6 from our young core)

Atleast with Uncle P, we know what were getting and we see what type of player he is in this system on both sides of the court. 2 years $22 mill. or 3 years $30M in todays market would be a great bang-for-the-buck type of deal for him.

Between Nick and Lou, Nick is the player I want to keep, and trade Lou for the best long term assets.

With the lack of attractive options in 2017 free agency, if the team decides not to carry cap space to the next offseason we will be better off just re-signing Nick.

Here is Nick Young's shot chart for the season : http://imgur.com/a/0pYaF

Looks very similar to Lou's shot chart. Fire from almost everywhere. Neither Nick or Lou are great 3 pt shooters from straight on. And Lou has some blue in left midrange and baseline. And Swag has it in the same area on the right. Both have been good-great shooters from almost everywhere this season.

I'm weirdly backing off wanting the front office to trade Nick. They should keep one or the other of him or Lou at least the rest of the season. Spacing absolutely dies with even one of them gone. With both gone, it'll start to hurt Randle and Russ' assist numbers.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that someone found a new toy...

I have no idea what you are talking about. I starting doing some of the rotation. Then I felt bad some of the players were left out.

But you're just saying that because I found YOUR shot chart from high school. Here it is ..... jk.

Our best players this season have been LouWill and Young.

Young is actually playing as ideal as you want from a SG in Luke's offense and LouWIll is playing as ideal as you want from a 6th man.

Problem is we have 4 guards that play almost even minutes.
