Only reason they win the bubble title is James got two months to rest. They really haven't been relevant in a decade. Unfortunately, that Russ and unprotected picks will be worth more in January when more teams tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEagles4Life Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Going thru over/unders for the year, some just won't bet because of the odds just not worth it. Blazers Under 39.5 (They will end up tanking) Lakers Over 44.5 (Will use picks and Russ for a good guy in January) Suns Under 52.5 (They haven't improved at all, and Paul is 38) Kings Over 33.5 (Actually pretty good roster and they will definitely try) Nuggets Over 51.5 (KCP and the real Ben Simmons, Bruce Brown are big additions with Murray back) Pelicans Over 45.5 (Zion and a full season of CJ) Sixers Over 50.5 (Team is just too good for regular season) Wiz Under 35.5 (Beal magically gets hurt in December) Hornets Under 34.5 (Roster is absolutely trash besides Melo who is already hurt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Bringing back someone who's been violent with their coworkers with little to no real punishment is the very definition of creating a tolerating a hostile work environment. The culture in the "league" however is such that Poole knows that he has to just suck it up and keep his mouth shut or it'll follow him wherever he goes. Double standards have long been the standard.

Made it through most of his preseason over/under pods. One fun variance they did was a 30-team draft where they draft wins or losses for each team. An entertaining enough spin on things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyX Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 If they are going for 3 in a row they will pay it gladly. They take in about 700 million a year.

Sacramento and Milwaukee do not get to be in San Francisco so if he wants to take his wealth to keep his team together then he can pay the smaller market teams for the right to do it. If he wants to keep the championship team together then he can pay all that money. Or he can let 2 or 3 of them go like most other teams have to anyway. He's not a victim. The New York teams have done this for ages. The Dodgers do now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way I'm giving up 2 first for Turner and Heild. A 1st with 2 2nds I would be ok with but looks like they will roll with what they have. Dreymond Green situation is interesting.

Wiggins and his new contract is the only outside player of note that affects the cap/luxury, and he's someone that both LeBron and Minnesota were glad to get rid of. I've always been of the mindset (going back to the 2011ish Thunder) that teams should get Cap/Tax penalized for keeping their homegrown players. While the money-market teams like GSW will have greater ability to pay the money, small market teams like OKC essentially have to win it all with guys on rookie contracts if they have any hope of being serous title contenders.

We went over this last year, Russ stinks and will never adjust I would bet they trade those 1sts and Russ this year. Could be Grant and Hart from Blazers or another surprising tank team.

Him coming off the bench will allow him to play like he wants. Doubt they flip both 1s for those 2 guys. Kyrie I can see. I can see them flipping one first for either Heild or a Turner but not 2 for both. LeBron stayed because of all his business deals and projects out in LA lol.

I think they roll with who they have and try making some noise in a loaded western conference and look towards FA next summer with Green and Irving as possibilities. Plenty of reports out there saying they don't want to take on any long-term money in a trade scenario. Jeanie mentioned having cap flexibility next year a few times during TC but also would look to improve the team. Turner to me is logical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ is an expiring so Lakers can take on guys with longer deals and allows other team to tank for Wembanyama or Scoot. You don't let the asset of the expiring walk out the door for nothing. LeBron doesn't have a year to waste anymore. You don't need to be in LA to make business deal or get sponsorships. This isn't the 1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't f themselves in the long run forcing a trade to get rid of him when you can just let him walk at seasons end. I can see them trading a first for let's say a guy like Turner but I doubt they'll trade both if they feel like it's not worth it. Otherwise Heild and Turner would already be Lakers.
