Gayle Benson fired Demps and said the new lead executive would report directly to her, not to Loomis. So, will anyone left in New Orleans stop a trade of Davis to the Lakers? Jackie MacMullan of ESPN: We have been told, I think, through channels – most of us have heard this same scuttlebutt – that Gayle Benson has basically told him, “To the Lakers, over my dead body.” Is that a challenge?
CJ McCollum played scared as shit the last 5 minutes...it's a travesty that Portland is even in the WCF as they had the weakest path I can recall in a long time. Lillard/McCollum are the Dollar Tree version of Steph/Klay.
Makes a little bit of sense. The real crap shoot begins after the 3rd overall pick, so a better chance of landing one of the slept on guys, which they've done pretty well. Or maybe they'll just trade the picks
Oh, it's pure speculation. With the Pelicans in total rebuild mode and a lot of people viewing the prospects outside the top 3 as a crap shoot, a lot of people believe the Pelicans would prefer being able to add two young players vs just 1 in a potential deal with the Lakers. And if Atlanta has a guy they really like that they feel won't fall back to #8, it'd make sense for them too. I wouldn't bank on it happening though
Twitter definitely causes a lot of fake smoke, but it's hard to take a lot of people seriously nowadays. You have Brian Windhorst's dumbass acting like Zion passing up millions of dollars and going back to Duke is a real possibility the other day and he's supposed to be a dependable source for basketball news lol.
I would not trade down in this draft. If the Lakers don’t want the pick, trade it for a more established player, a shooter, or package with some of the younger ones we have for a bigger package.
Yeah, but this stupid ass Rambis duo that's doing their best to be seen as anti-LeBron, if LeBron speaks out against it they may just decide to do it. Lol
Seems as though they have their eyes on Beal as a trade target if they can't get their hands on AD. Which is OK. But yeah, only after AD is off the table. I'd trade Ingram, Zo, multiple picks and maybe Hart for Beal and Satoransky. Then sign Jimmy with the cap space. Keep Kuz. Kuz should only go for AD caliber guys..what Pelinka reportedly told him. IDGAF what anybody says, been watching this game for 30+ years..regular guys don't go for 40 points in 3 quarters. Kuz is on the right track
