Excellent video Trevor. Excellent work. PS I THINK YOU CAN STILL DUNK ON SEAN AND MATT!!!
Why have an interest on a 38 yr old PG who is way past his use by date and put yourself on the hard cap? Just doesn't make sense. I say bring back DLo and Schroder instead, then get a serviceable big to play the 5. Bring Lonnie back and try get Naz Reid.
why in the hell did the Wizards agree to this then? Just keep him then and do a power move. What they got was disgusting. Also, if I'm any team in the NBA, I'm not playing ball at all with the Suns on an Ayton trade. I'm like, this is the bed you made, enjoy Trevor Ariza or whatever.
No Chris Paul. NO more old people!
I rather to get Lillard than Beal, not saying he’s no a good player but if i am going to mortgage my future i would do it with their better player, is looking that Lillard will be available.
another super team again. ugh.
I would go got kcp over kuzma anyway.. But would mean taking on the salary of beasley and Bo.. Plus something else and maybe a pick
Or Vanderbilt as well
How come Bradley Beal trade pushed through.. while the vetoed CP3 trade has clearly a better haul.
Yes KCP is worth it
Pick Swaps could be Phenomenal.
Lakers should keep Bamba and Recruit Dwight Howard
Why are we even talking about Kuzma?
Shouldn't have traded him! Wizarda screwed themselves!
And with Paul, the clips still have no defense. Vogel is a defensive coach but even he will be limited by having no one to play defense.
bs if the suns can spend that much on 4 guys the lakers can get Cp3 and keep the guys they need or just trade dlo in sign and trade throw in maybe sumthn for kuz in a sign and trade for them both
Kuz and Porzingis next
If I was the wizards front office, I would have just kept him out of spite. 2 can play that game 😅
Lakers do not need CP3 now.
Do you think Stern would have allowed this trade? LOL
heck no!!! we need a center!!! Turner and Hield!
Trevor has been sick for over a month, it feels like. Dude, get healthy (give yourself the time to get better). And stop overusing the adjective 'massive.' Please.
Nooooooo Pile POOZMA 💩! NO! NO! NO!
The Clips can have him. I'd rather they sink their franchise when he won't be able to play for them come playoff time than have us in that situation. We need to focus on depth. Forget this 3-star lineup crap.
Bradley Beal is good, he is not great, he is not an all star in the western Conference. Staying away from a high dollar commitment to him was a lucky break.
I literally said that there would be a super-team this season when Trevor posted his "no more super team" video. We didn't even need to wait two week and there you go. Super-teams can't be stopped.
How about DLo, Rui, Beasley, Bamba and a 2nd for Kuzma, Avdija, and Monte Morris? I like Rui and he has a lot of potential, but right now Kuzma is better.
Why would we want no show in the playoffs Paul that would be another stupid Lakers trade
Don’t need cp3 trade 17 and Beasley for D Murray sign and trade Dlo to get 3d wing or 3 d center .. keep moe and develop him .. try sign ds back
I know I’m gonna get blasted for this 👀
🫣
BUT……..
Let’s stop pussy footing around this!!!
Anthony Davis and Jarred Vanderbilt to the Trailblazers
The 3rd pick, Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe & 15 mil S&T Cam Reddish to the Lakers (along with maybe some future draft compensation)
Draft Scoot and Derek Lively with 3 & 17
Either S&T DLo or let him walk
Decide on Beasley. I’m fine with keeping him on a cheaper longer deal.
Tentative Depth Chart
Guards
Anfernee Simons $24,107,143
Scoot Henderson (Rookie)
Aust(him) Reaves $15+ mil deal
(Malik Beasley $10 per???)
Wings
Shaedon Sharpe $6,313,800
Cameron Reddish $13 mil new deal
Max Christie $1,719,864
Forwards
LeBron James $46,698,737
Rui Hachimura $15 mil new deal
Bigs
Mo Bamba (guarantee far less)
Derek Lively (Rookie)
This would essentially keep them at or under the Salary cap and way below the tax!!! But still keep flexibility to pivot and trade for or sign a big time player in the future.
If Lebron is upset then accommodate a trade to wherever he wants to go.
Fill in the blanks and let’s start this rebuild
Honestly “Who Says No?”
