Rhom Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 3 minutes ago, Tywin et al. said: He might be cheaper than you'd expect. I always here rumors that the Hawks don't like him. Still, he's not what they need and frankly I'm not sure any move the Lakers make at this point will make them contenders. Feels like this year they probably heavily over exceeded realistic expectations. I think Pelinka should get some consideration for executive of the year. Salvaging something from the nuclear crater of a roster that Lebron made him start the year with by bringing in Rui/Vando/Russell is commendable at the very least.

Is Bronny actually good enough to make an NBA roster without the promise of his dad coming over? (Legit question, I dunno). Because if not, I don't see why he'd be in such a rush to just play in his dad's shadow and then get cut as soon as his dad retires. As for the Lakers, its hard to imagine them getting much better than this any time soon. Even if they manage to get another big star, it'll mean trading all their depth away again. And Lebron+AD+3rd guy is not enough to win a title I don't think. I don't think Lebron goes to another team though, hanging out in LA and having easy access to USC's home games is too big an incentive to stay. Which means he's probably not getting another title, unless he's still playing 4+ years from now getting 10ish minutes off the bench while some next generation of LA superstars is leading the team.

From what I've read, over the past year he has improved from basically a non-entity to someone that legit would get drafted in at least the second round regardless of his name. Obviously, next year at USC will be crucial in determining that. Could fall off a cliff, but could also play his way into legit first round consideration. Who knows? Kid's only 18.

He needed to trade Westbrook before the season started. That's a major reason why they failed. They've been having to do so much catching up for months and my guess is the team was largely spent. If anything I'd fire him. ETA: I saw a stat earlier that since LeBron returned he and AD have played more minutes than anyone else. Edited May 23, 2023 by Tywin et al.

Yeah, this is what I've read and heard too. He's a fringe NBA player at best right now, but he's improved. I think at one point he was in the 45-50 range for his HS class. LeBron's other kid sounds like the one more likely to be a legit first rounder. He's already 6'6 and only 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on cue, the BBC had this article yesterday. https://www.bbc.com/sport/65601190 Quote Change has come. Rather, change will come in 2026 when gambling companies will no longer be allowed on the front of top-flight teams' shirts after a ground-breaking agreement between clubs. Grimes called the move "incoherent", pointing out gambling companies will still be able to occupy the players' sleeves, pitchside hoardings, stadium floodlight pylons and the airwaves between the action. _ Anyway, Celtics pull one back. Time for another fruitless hope. Maybe the journalists can stop regurgitating the same 0-150 takes, and maybe put a little effort in and check what the sample is for a higher seed going down 0-3 is. Yes, its still 0 wins, but maybe they can explore a little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Chet and picks is not worth possibly the best prospect in the last 20 years. Wemby will be great assuming he doesn't get hurt. He's the rare sure thing talent wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a lot bigger than Chet and his frame suggestion he could put on some more weight. I'm more worried about his feet/lower legs than his physicality.
