So after we get Lebron , PG next year, GSW will be weakened in 2019 offseason and we will be able to legitimately compete in year 2 of Lebron/PG, and Ingram and ball will be veterans by then |
Good example of how dominant that Warrior team is _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Chris Haynes reported Lakers offered Iggy a 1 year/$20 mill at 9:01. That would seem to indicate he was our #1 target. Interesting. |

Portis from Chi
future 1st from Lakers
Chi gets
Clarkson from Lakers
Bayless from Phi
Okafor from Phi
Future 2nd from Lakers
Lakers get

^ I don't see 76ers taking on Deng as they want to contend and have to start paying their young guys. |

Let me ask you, if you were running the 76ers with their promising young core, would you trade Okafor who's technically an expiring contract, and an unobtrusive contract like Bayless' and eat Deng's crippling contract and all you get in return is what will likely amount to a late 1st and Bobby freaking Portis? |

How about this trade?
76ers get: Clarkson
Bulls get: Okafor, Deng, and our 2020 1st
Lakers get: Wade
Philly gets JC to give them some bench scoring and help them try and make the playoffs.
Chicago continues to rebuild getting Okafor who could benefit from a change of scenery and playing back home, a future draft pick, and Deng who Bulls fans love and can help mentor their young players.
We get rid of Deng and JC giving us enough cap space for two max contracts next summer. Wade still has some gas left in the tank and can help us win this season and help recruit his buddy LeBron to join us next season. |

It'll take more to unload Deng in either proposal with the cap not going up much. I'd say bare minimum they're adding Nance or Zubac, lower protection on that pick (say top 3 when we're hoping for 10 if they strike out in FA) and a 2nd.
Even then we're kidding our selves if we think Deng's leadership holds much weight with that deal. He could be a two 1st rounder liability. I get that LA doesn't want to deal Nance and we'd be selling Zubac low, I'm just saying those scenarios need more to be realistic. |

Yikes. Say what you want about DLO, but he helped us get rid of Moz, gave us Brook, and a 1st rounder that was used for Kuz. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

I've seen him play a few times in person. Beautiful low post game. I'll give him that.
But on defense, literally zero effort. Doesn't even run back on transition defense. It's pretty brutal to watch b/c the TV cameras don't catch how he barley jogs back. I was so wrong about his game at the time. Thought he could improve his motor. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Yeah, that is a tough one. KCP is a lot younger so there is that, but if both would only be here for 1 year I guess the age would not matter as much. _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss |

I like KCP better b/c he can guard PGs full time and/or the toughest perimeter threat for Lonzo. Good synergy IMO with Lonzo. Iggy, love him too, but not sure he can do that. He's more of a SG-SF hybrid who is strong enough to check small ball PFs. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

It's a shame he could have been a decent 5, if he even improved to around the NBA average defensively his value would pick up. _________________

We probably would have gotten Drummond, if we didn't get Lopez. |
