Topic: 2022-2023 NBA Season - Draft Day to Playoffs

This is true. Westbrook's expiring contract is a fantastic opportunity for UTA to shed off a huge chunk of salary (that they owe Mitchell) and officially start their reboot with a clean slate after next season. The question here is what other assets will they ask the Lakers for in return?  3 first rounders?  LA doesnt have that currently unless they flip any of their players under contract (not named AD and LBJ) for first rounders then that trade scenario might happen.

For me its another bad fit. Mitchell is most effective with the ball in his hands.....we don't expect LBJ to play off the ball....he never did that and he wont do it now. He is chasing the scoring title.  He needs the ball in his hands

I think pat bev posted a future lakers 5 bron, AD, himself, turner nad hield😂

Tama talaga desisyon ng lahat ng teams sa NBA na di i draft si Kai.. FIBA qualifier is his chance to prove them wrong but toink..

[oweidah]

yari okc, chet h. injured, out for season
patpatin mukang marupok para isabak sa bakbakan
ganun din kaya si KaiS?

slow footed for a bigman in nba, mababa pa outside shooting percentage para ma enganyo mga scouts, dami pa maaaring pagpilian players..

Ano ang iniisip ni LA para ipalit yung THT and another player dun sa Bev?

To push RW further out of LAL. If it succeeds, sulit na buong taon na sweldo ni PatBev.

"A member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, he is a nine-time NBA All-Star and earned the NBA Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) for the 2016–17 season. He is also a nine-time All-NBA Team member, led the league in scoring in 2014–15 and 2016–17, and won back-to-back NBA All-Star Game MVP awards in 2015 and 2016." - wiki

I do not like Westbrook. Pero naaawa na ako sa kanya ngayon. He is a hard worker, dedicated NBA player, almost never absent from a game except when hurt, but Pat Bev is even valuable than him nowadays. And no one team seems to be interested to trading for him.

I wish him all the best and luck and have a better season to prove us all wrong.

needs to find a "right" team to fit

[synchro_01]

Boston's new acquisition Danilo Galinari got injured in the FIBA games. Possible MCL.

[oznola]

^saklap but a non factor na IMO

[synchro_01]

His main role is to provide the primary scoring punch from the bench which he can do well.  Last playoffs they relied on Pritchard who was clearly affected by the moment.  Kaya si Brown and Tatum halos walang pahinga...wala sila masyadong scorer and playmaker.

Breaking: New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett is finalizing a four-year rookie extension that could be worth up to $120 million, his agent Bill Duffy told Adrian Wojnarowski.

This complicates the franchise’s off-season trade pursuit of Donovan Mitchell.

end na daw ang pursuit

They need more guards?  They already have Fournier, Brunson, Rose....

They will probably tank this season to lay their hands on Victor Wembanyama.  If that happens, they'll have a formidable twin tower.

Is Barrett worth that much?

Utah is trading Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland for Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton, three unprotected first-round picks and two pick swaps, per @wojespn

Why is it lopsided? Di kase ako pamilyar sa mga players na ipinalit ng Cavs, are they good?

Ayos si Ainge ha...garage sale.  First it was Gobert then Mitchell. Next on the auction block would be Bogdanovic, Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley

Well yan talaga track record ni Ainge. He can get maximum return via draft picks for his players in a trade.  Sila Maarkanen, Sexton etc...he will flip those players for picks real soon.

New York was left holding the empty bag. NY Fans should be pissed.

[synchro_01]

The Lakers are closing in on a Myles Turner and Buddy Hield trade for RW + 2 first round picks.

They can also pivot to try and get Jordan Clarkson and Bogdan Bogdanovic  for RW + 2 first round picks.

[thebat]

With these lopsided trades (first Gobert and now Donovan M), no wonder mahirap i-trade si Durant or Kyrie Irving, kse The Nets would certainly ask for more for these 2.

kd, ki no takers waaah
rw stay laang sa lakers
