That’s the frustrating part
We should be like 3-5 games over 500 now, not 4 games under. Just those blown leads late in games |
we are talking about 15-13 very easily with one, two shots in our favor. I
think(or wish) that tonight is a turning point,if we take care of business
against wizards anf id AD is ok we can have a deep run. |

Of those guys, the only player under contract for next season is Christie though. |
Gotta use the Russ money to hold on to most of them |

Great win, by the Lakers! Let me emphasize, GREAT WIN! No AD, against one of the best bigs, and best teams, in the league. Some rough edges. But, I'm ecstatic by what I saw, because I saw adjustments and growth, from Ham.

Indeed... |
Billymac's 1 big flaw to me is that he gets so damn excited for the other team it's hard to tell when we're doing well |
That’s what my wife always says when she can hear the game on in the background. She’ll be like “Billy mac was going crazy I thought they were winning?!!?” |
Billy Mac just needs to STFU and just state, blandly, what other team is doing. When he gets EXCITED about the other team spanking us on a play, I wanna just punch him in the nose.

| Don’t trade the FRP’s make a small trade for an athletic wing that can shoot. I love with Max Christie tonight did two in competition is a good thing. |

Pelinka cannot give up on those 4 guys. They are untouchable imo.
Try to get a big wing/stretch 4 for Bev, Nunn and picks (a first if the player is good enough). Keep Russ at this point too. |

Maybe Pelinka sorta knows what he’s doing? 
Max Christie a Michigan State Spartan and Rob who’s a Michigan Wolverine . Drafting Max has looked like a great move.
Kid keeps getting better and every game |

Loved how we pushed the pace at the end.
Lebron acknowledging Bryant and Christie’s productive minutes in the post game interview…hopefully Ham was listening |

I doubt that will happen absent one of those picks going out. If you're able to pull it off, great, but if you hold on to both and a solid trade available for just one, and you do not do it, IMO it's not giving this team all it needs.
Of course, we really have no clue what such a hypothetical has in play. If we are just being offered rubbish or nothing moving the needle then yes, keep the picks.

I'd take Cam if it's just salary ballast being exchanged, and none of our young guys. No picks, and no young ones (eg Reaves, Walker, etc) go out.

Don't really need to... Just balance the roster out with a couple of small moves.
Kuzma will be a big boost for us. Might not cost that much. |

He’s gone. And when he is it will be funny. |
I honestly love what he’s doing compared to last year just put guys around him to come put the ball in the basket and don’t ask him to sit out there and shoot three point shots |

Max - unknown. Wait until what teams start doing with him when scouts break down his tendencies.
Walker - I really like this kid's athleticism. Definite building block player IMO; very surprised SA just let him go after watching him thus far. Yes, he can be inconsistent, but he's young. Am concerned if team can afford him...e.g do we seek Monk part 2.
Reaves - if they trade Reaves, I'm done with the FO officially. He's a keeper for any situation, eg going for a championship, or rebuild.
Bryant - I'm actually not yet sold on him. TBD.
