Don't get me wrong... BI is nowhere near prime LBJ... but he'd be nice to have right now along with Garland and our 2023 pick.


And Desmond Bane

Seriously sick of posters keep bringing up the parallel universe crap.
We gambled and it worked, we pay for the gamble now. zero regrets.

By the way, what make you think For some reason Jeanie is going to pay all the players you mentioned at their current value, also our picks would be no where near lottery.

Bulls are such a dysfunctional team without Zo. He adds another dimension to the team and unlocks so much of their offense. Currently, all they do is look for DeRozan and Lavine to score, while freezing everyone else out. They could add a third 20+ ppg scorer and not improve in a single area, because no one is initiating.

I was being attacked for saying he was a top 5 player this season. He's posting insane efficiency and scoring numbers while leading his team to victories. They are lotto bound without him.

SGA is putting up 1st team All-NBA numbers. This is one hell of a leap if it continues.

Jerry West strikes again. Good thing for us that Ballmer wanted Kawhi bad and was willing to trade everything for PG.

They also just demoted Caruso back to the bench... Looking at stats alone, he has not lived up to his contract since leaving the Lakers.

The Clippers got robbed. Even just SGA alone might have been an overpay for Paul George.

One of the few guys i'd be willing to trade our 2 firsts for as part of a package

Knicks are inching closer to breaking through in becoming a contender, they are definitely gonna have these eyes set on guys like Anthony Davis and Kevin Durant to get over the hump if they become available.

So who has been the most disappointing player on the Warriors this season? The media is focused on Klay Thompson, but Jordan Poole has regressed since signing that big extension.

Yeah those are two good answers, and Wiseman being unplayable.

Steph is amazing, although I'm sure there's a few knuckleheads in here who believe any big performance in a loss is "statpadding".

Hate to Gothere..t, but it sure looks like we were the Minneapolis Lakers that summer by setting the market on trades for star players. cLips probably cursing us out by not only giving up that type of package to OKC, but almost needing to in order to block Kawhi from hitting our roster.

And for all the talk that Bron/AD ain’t top 10 players to build around any longer due to our current record, I suppose Curry & KD are no longer top 10 either. Yikes!

What do Orlando, Detroit, SF, LA & Kansas have in common?
They better not forget to pack their pair of bedazzled shoes.

As for 2023 pick watch…

That’s easy to say but how many times has this team dropped games to bad teams in recent years? A lot. I could see the Lakers underestimating the Pistons and letting them hang around which in most instances ends up with the bad team pulling off a upset win.
