Would Jeanie bring in a guy who had a domestic violence restraining order against him? I’m not thinking that would bring positive PR.

I wasn't looking for him to play but to coach. If we can switch it up this offseason, having Rondo over meathead alone is worth 5 plus games. |

Why we not dropping C.Wood? I mean let him rehab under company facility and still get paid but buy him out (we don’t have his bird right anyway) and pick up Hayes’s back up, a bulkier one, not Harry Giles. What’s the hold up? There’s Myers Leonard, Whiteside, Gorgui Dieng, RoLo, Bo Cruz.

He has a player option on next season so unless he were to opt out (not sure who's giving him more than the vet min) he would be dead money on next year's cap.

Ingram and Tatum are coming up before then in 2025.
2025 off-season sign Ingram(UFA), Zubac(UFA), Lonzo(his market value will be very low depending on how he plays next season or if he comes back).
Starters:
D'Angelo Russell (sign long term this off-season)
Austin Reaves (signed till 2027-2028)
Brandon Ingram
Anthony Davis (signed till 2028-2029)
Ivica Zubac
Bench:
Lonzo Ball
Max Christie (sign long term after off-season)
Jarred Vanderbilt (signed till 2028-2029)
Rui Hachimura (signed till 2026-2027)
Jaxson Hayes (sign long term after player option is taken)
Go into the 2025 off-season with DLO, Reaves, Davis, Vando, Hachimura, Christie, Hayes as guaranteed multi-year guys. Then try to add Ingram, Zubac, Ball to that(if healthy). Caruso will also be available.

Oh ok, I’d keep my option too if I were Wood

I could see the Spurs making a run at DLO if they can’t get Trae |

For where the Pistons are, they'd be better off leveraging their cap space to add additional assets while getting trade-at-a-later date veterans.
The Orlando rumor is a little perplexing. They just drafted Black in the Lotto, paid Anthony and still have Suggs. Plus, the ball should really be in Paolo and Franz' hands. Their identity is size and skill. Dlo would be going a different direction.

The reason the Pistons have so much cap space is because nobody wants to go there and they blow every prospect they have.

| pistons are a useless organization. They could have had 2 1sts for the european dude bogdonovic or something. This year they traded him for 2nds i thinks |

Would Austin/Rui/Gabe/3 1sts (and parting ways with DLo) for Trae Young be the worst trade in Lakers history?

They also aren't going to do anything for James Wiseman either. Probably the worst place he could have wound up.

Yup. Even the Russ trade was just 1 pick. |

It'd be even more horrible because the Lakers don't need more offense, just more defense.

Duuuude?!? Why bring that up? Please don’t tell me someone considered it, as any thing other than the worse trade in Laker history.

It's important to bring it up, because we've been this stupid in the past.
Five years later we still don't control our pick, and people want to do it again for a lesser player than AD.
Do people not learn from past mistakes?
A team similar to the one that MJST outlined, should have been our team the whole time. That team can compete for a title when LBJ retires.
You trade all those players and picks for a top heavy Trae/AD with old LBJ team, it's sheer insanity.
We should have waited for AD and signed him as a free agent and then we could have been looking at a dynasty. The only thing that made the trade look tolerable is that BI and Lonzo were hurt all the time. But having Hart and Garland and the other picks would have made a huge difference.
Prime LBJ could win with AD and Trae, but not 40 year old Bron.
We need to let Bron go to Cleveland with Bronny and start living life without him. |
