he could still win in philly though, it did take a game 7 buzzer beater for the nba champs to our them
but maybe his dad played there. He is going to be in Space Jam 2. He’d be perfect fit.
But unlikely because he fits perfect as a Warrior.
The Sixers still have room to grow without adding anybody. Just re-sign their 2 free agents. Simmons and Embiid are still pups. Next year could be their time .If Toronto loses Leonard they will drop back. Boston seems stalled. That would leave The Bucks and Sixers as the cream of The East.
More likely that NO won’t win a title with Lonzo.
Getting the prince clown jerk of a father out of their hair was reason enough for The Lakers to move Lonzo. I suspect Lavar might have something to do with Magic deciding he didn't need that shiit in his life.
Pels were right to sit tight and not make the trade in the middle of the season. They maintained leverage and their leverage grew even more with injuries decimating GSW. The West became wide open and there was lots of pressure from Lebron & Co to make this deal happen now.
Durant ha already moved his offices to NYC and I'd expect him to be a Brooklyn Net sooner rather than later. He no longer trusts GSW as his injury was publicly misdiagnosed as a calf when there were concerns about the achilles the entire time. His camp is upset that GSW didn't immediately rule him out, thus forcing external pressure for him to play, for the sake of making Toronto have to prepare for his comeback.
Lakers will target Jimmy Butler, Kemba Walker and/or Tobias Harris. AD needs to waive a trade exception to allow them to get back under the cap to get another max guy but they will get creative to make this happen.
DGDinNYC. Something really odd about Durant's injury supposedly being misdiagnosed. I was driving and listening to a couple of sport radio jocks the day before game 6. One of them said something about the calf injury, then he said ''wink, wink'' and followed it up by saying it was the worst kept secret that Durant really had an achilles injury. They went on to say that GS management knew it...WOW. I Don't see how they could have just guessed right.
WC, Durant was injured in game 5, so yeah, it wasn’t much of a secret ahead of game 6 that Durant had an achilles injury. 😃
Bankwalker. Of course everybody knew Durant was injured, but GS was calling it a calf injury right up to where the achilles blew completely out in game 5. I did misstate it as game 6 but the conversation by the radio jocks was prior to the achilles blowing out. So did management know as these guys claimed ? If not, why not when people outside of the organization seemed to know ?
Stay tuned.
As a long time Lakers fan I like this trade, because it gives them a star player they can build around for the future. However, the key to this deal is to delay signing by 30 days to secure extra $5-6M, affording the Lakers the opportunity to sign another max contract player. The Lakers need a top quality shooting Guard to go with LeBron and Davis.
Lastly, as much as I like the move, there's no question it's risky. They are giving up a lot of talent and youth to New Orleans. I wish they could have kept Josh Hart.
C_F. it makes sense BECAUSE it's the Lakers. They don't have to depend on the draft like other teams. Elite players will want to play in LA, for the most glamorous team with 2 super stars. For evidence of their appeal, both Lebron and Davis chose them over pretty much every other team in the league.
