Well, yeah, but he turned a shit show into a war chest of assets. No way that happens without Griffin.

I love what they did, though.

Saw that. Great moment. Think the Suns are nuts for drafting Johnson that early, though.

- L.A. swap in 23
- L.A.' 1st in either 24 or 25

And got rid of Solomon Hill's contract.

Basically this, if you want to do a good assignment, go look up what the Suns did with all those picks they got for Nash. Things aren't always what they seem with picks, just ask Danny Ainge.

[javierm27]

I also love how the narrative has shifted on the Lakers. Before they didn't have shit for AD, now it's, wow look at the young core that they got from the Lakers. The best thing Griffin did in all of that was moving that horrendous Hill contract.

Lakers have sucked for about a decade and Tatum will be an all star.

Gary Tanguay looks odd bald on NBCSB (Boston). That is all.

No kidding. Guy finally got the #1 pick in the draft and was suckered into not even using it by the Sixers.

I’m sure he’d rather not be bald if given the option.

They didn’t have enough to beat the best offer out there. I know you’re just getting back into basketball nba wise but nobody thought “they didn’t have shit”.

You are a bit rusty at this, Javier.

[Lee3691]

At the Lakers / Bucks finals next season, there are going to be a lot of stories about Kareem.

Working my way back, it has been a few years.

Some admin banned me because I said scrock or whatever is name is melted during the WS between the Cubs and Indians, so I bounced after that.

But I came back because of the AD trade and since the Lakers are winning it this year.

Hi sir. People were saying that Ingram, Lonzo and Kuz sucked. Now they are saying wow, those Lonzo to Zion lobs are gonna be great. That's my point.

I think people are saying that the Pelicans got the best haul they could, and built a war chest of future picks. I also think people are just saying that Ingram and Ball were in a cluster fuck of a situation in LA, so who knows what new scenery will bring.

And also, Lonzo to Zion lobs probably will be great. Lonzo has always been a good passer.

Hello. No they were not. Please try reading the post you quoted again. I mean I’m sure you can find a few idiots but the majority of people seemed to say what I mentioned in my post. Lakers just didn’t have the best package of players. Think that’s pretty obvious considering how many picks they had to throw in.

Hey bro, no clue what you’re talking about but welcome back

[Lee3691]

Some people were saying that the Knicks package - lead by Kevin Knox - was the best package the Pelicans could get (assuming the Celtics didn't make Tatum available)

[TwoStep2888]

Giannis MVP

[sbuzzz]

Giannis is the absolute best!

[SmoothG]

Damn, that giannis speech was beautiful.

[YouKnowThatItIS]

ECF, MVP, ExecOTY, CoachOTY, best record in the NBA.... A disappointing end, but what a great season for the Milwaukee Bucks.

He’s terrible, though.

Probably 50/50?

Warriors are definitely going to offer it. They basically have to unless they want to send a message to other free agents that says, "we don't offer max deals.to star players."
