This. He also is being over hyped by some. I know we are desperate to get a big, but he is not the answer (unless it would cost us a 2nd then I could see us take a flier on him).


If we can get Robinson for a package around Vincent/Hayes and/or Cam, we should do it.

Minny, guess DiVicenzo-AntMan duo could be like Tatum-Brown but what are they doing, 1 protected FRP for a KAT after spending 5 for Gobert?

I’d give up AR and a FRP for KAT, have him and AD twin tower for the next half decade, break up Bron money to couple players next season, oh well

Should we get Mitchell Robinson? of course, buy low now. I’m good if we starting to build for AD. Let this season to be JJ’s learning/Bron farewell one.
Give AD a defensive center and a young two way wing. Run the offense thru him


KAT is not a 2way guy. I hope they dont plan to start him at center.


He’s far more of a two way than Randle ever would be

Me thinks Thibs wouldn't have signed off on any Kat trade without assurance that they'd have a defensive-minded center next to him. They are probably looking for their Robinson replacement right now. If I were them, I'd trade Robinson and filler for Draymond and call it a day.

What plays to KAT's favor is they have hard-nosed defenders like Mikal and Anunoby who don't give up dribble penetration. Part of the reason they couldn't expose him in Minny this year was because they were the best defensive team in the league by a mile, not to mention Gobert (DPOY) covering for his lapses in the middle.


yes but that is what I mean they need a center next to him and towns to start at PF, else there is no rim protection.

DLo saying he connected with Redick back in free agency and gravitated towards him, says he's a high IQ guy.

Lakers recently had the best rebounder of all time, according to him, and let him go.

Whatever is being said, probably shouldnt be said out loud if yall are having this reaction in regards to DLo speaking on Dham.

From a DLO fan. But this is why fans hate DLO. No accountability

I love it. Yes Ham was that bad and disliked. That's why I believe JJ is good for 3-5 wins alone. Hes that much better, smarter, liked and more competent than Ham.

You gain nothing from bad mouthing your ex coach to the media.

Me personally, I have a rule I live by. You will never hear me saying anything bad about a person I dated. It's ok to take high road.

I disagree. When an incompetent buffoon doesn't play the right players when they should be played and costs you games....yeah I'm okay with calling him out. Even more so if the team is better.

This is the same interview where he apologized for his lack of professionalism? This guy is really something.

When you have a terrible coach a previous year, what are you supposed to say? Anything about how things are going to change the upcoming year will be perceived as throwing shade at the previous coach.

Ham was awful, any time JJ has said what they want to change people say its shots at Ham, anything DLO says about what he's excited for about what JJ is going to do is going to sound like he's hating on Ham.

It's really not that deep, Ham was just awful.

And so far lacking discretion has cost DLO million of dollars. He will be lucky if his next contract is more than the MLE. It isn’t a question of if bad mouthing a superiors will come back to bite you, it’s a question of when.

Nah, unless u a mega untouchable superstar/coach Ala Kobe, Shaq or Phil, keep it in the locker room but then again, Ham did start if by ‘what am I supposed to do when the player (bleep) the bed’

I agree with you. I just expected him to fire back and Ham anyhow after the Dlo (bleep) the bed comment Ham made. He waited much longer to roast him as I expected a social media response but Dlo went where the nba media at, I want to kill him 😂

I mean Dlo, Rui, and AR all know the only reason they all started is because Anthony Davis went to the media and said it made no sense that the unit that made the wcf wasn’t playing together … Ham was stuck and went to that group the game after said comments and they won at damn near 70% clip. That was the ultimate (bleep) you when you saw how it worked and made those 3 hate him, his two stats him, and made Pelinka go he would have been correct this past summer had Ham used the people he paid. It didn’t make anyone by Ham look bad as Pelinka gave him the tools and AD knew he had the tools to be a better team but a stupid ass coach. Bron fit on the sideline with that timeout was just the cherry because that was the season in a nutshell a dumbass coach

Let’s be real here Bronny went to summer league and he got more coverage than the top lottery picks, got better viewership, and set a record for jerseys sold to the point he paid off his nba contract already for the 4 years lol. They should have always sent him to the presser separate
