Yeah, if you're Chicago how do you not ask for Ingram or Kuzma and still demand #4... Ball?

LaVine for Ball + Hill + move up three spots? To draft Garland and pair him with Ball?

There's a reason the Pelicans would LOVE this deal.

Hart/LaVine/Zion/Kuzma/ 7th pick, hello SEKOU/and an unprotected pick?
Kuzma or Ingram or I'd spit in their face.

The difference between 4 and 7? Minimal at most. And that's just because of Garland.........a PG.

The difference between Lavine and Ball? Do they even play the same sport?

Yeah, but Ball can finish at the rim. Think about that!

And 5 times the shooter? Please.
thrill had to be high when he wrote that. the numbers don't lie.
FT's don't count? 40 what %?
so you're sticking with your "five times the shooter" thing? it's okay to admit you're wrong once in awhile.

Pardom my sports exaggeration but it's not close. Ball averages as many shots as points. Definition of a terrible shooter. last year more shots than points. That's one thing the bad shooting Rubio could never accomplish.

41% FT shooter. When you make Wilt and Shaq look like Curry form the line you can't shoot.

How on earth can a team give him the ball in the 4th and not expect "hack and laugh and point at a Lonzo?" Shit I'd be fouling him from possession 1.

Klay torn ACL, will be interesting offseason for Warriors with Klay and Durant likely out for season should they re-sign. West is wide open, too bad Wolves spit their wad and aren’t ready to be competitive

If he and Kawhi leave, yikes. Kind of crazy with all the money going around, this offer is still but a tad more than the MLE. Wall/Durant will make 3 times this for rehabbing.

Masai got into it with a security guard after the game last night. Will be interested to see what happens. Supposedly the cop wasn't letting him onto the court? Jesus. Clusterfuck.

If you're working security for an event like this you should probably have a fucking clue on who the important people are. Also, the important people who need access to things like the court should probably have a pass on a lanyard to avoid this shit.

Absolute failure by event staff.

Windhorst on ESPN.com saying GS will offer 5 year max to both Klay and Durant. Didn't listen to the segment, just read the headline.

I'm sure Draymond will be gone in a year if both end up staying.

3 team trade proposed

Pelicans would get:
Kuzma
Hart
Lavine
Bulls’ 7th overall pick
2021 LA 1st unprotected

Bulls would get:
Lonzo Ball
#4 overall
Solomon Hill

Lakers would get:
Anthony Davis
Chicago loses on this unless they really like someone at #4 that wont be there at #7. They already have one under performing guard in Dunn.

Pelicans would create a pretty interesting core.
OUT: Davis, Hill
IN: Kuzma, Hart, Lavine, 7th pick, future 1st

Some potential options at 7 for them:
(G)Coby White/(F)Cam Reddish/(F)Sekou Doumbouya/ (F) DeAndre Hunter/(F/C) Jaxson Hayes


C- Julius Randle/Jahlil Okafor
PF- Zion Williamson/Kenrich Williams/Cheick Diallo
SF-Kyle Kuzma/Darius Miller/ Stanley Johnson
SG- Zach Lavine/E'Twaun Moore/Josh Hart
PG-Jrue Holliday/Elfrid Payton/Frank Jackson

Pelicans can use 7 to either go after depth or pair that with a player to get a vet maybe?

Randle and Zion would be a short but strong interior combo.

Not sure theyll resign Randle. With Zion coming in.

Will note I was one of the few Randle boosters in his draft. Old school PFs still have a place, dont have to be a stretch.

AD to the Lakers for Ingram, Ball, Hart, the #4, and 2 future firsts.

I don't think the Pelicans were going to get much more than that.

Ball
Jrue
Ingram
Zion

With Hart and the #4 is a really fun young team if they stay healthy

This is a great move for LA. They somehow were able to keep Kuzma. I would have demanded him.

He should but this guy has already won multiple rings etc...

He might just want to come back to the area he is from and be in the spotlight.

Julius Randle is going to be a FA.

Anyone interested in putting him next to Towns and Wiggins.

I would like to see that, what does anyone think it would take?

i like randle and he's panned out much better as an pro than i would have thought. but he's the wrong kind of PF. not particularly a good defender - and alligator arms that will limit how good he'll ever be in that area.

He's coming off a career year and will probably command a pretty big salary. If we are somehow able to get under the cap enough to make a run at a free agent I'd rather spend it elsewhere.

Always loved Randle. Thought LA sort of gave him the shank. Was glad to see him break out in NO. He really isn't the right fit for us defensively but he'd make us crazy on offense. Either way can't be done. He's be a great fit in Brooklyn but I'd never tell anyone to sign on with Kyrie.

Golden St should tank next season. Send us Draymond for #11 and Saric.... then let Curry only play in like 40 games next year.

Come back the following year with #11 in 2019 a top 5 pick in 2020... and a rehabbed KD and Klay.
