we do and IT said earlier in an interview that if the Rondo buyout didnt happen, he would have been a Laker. I believe Rondo is really more of a player coach but it does feel redundant. go figure.

How much does anyone want to bet that if IT balls out with us it would make Nunn more expandable in a trade? Russ/IT/Rondo wouldnt be a bad combination

I think you're right -- that makes the most sense. I just hope IT balls out considering he is motivated to get on a roster.

I would’ve thought Bron would move to the PG slot and Melo comes into the starting lineup, but you could be right

What am I missing?

If only for 10 days ok, but nothing past that.

BUT WHY HAS ENNIS NOT BEEN A PART OF THIS TEAM YET OR STILL?

It’ s gotta be his agent or him wanting a contract for rest of year?

Where is he, why hasn’t someone else signed him with the COVID thing going on? Ennis must be waiting & playing hard ball until trade deadline?

These two rumors of Grant or Simmons are pipe dreams, you don’t trade away 2-3 players & picks & weaken your team again & again for guys who are expensive & does nothing better than what you had or got & or can’t shoot!

It’s reported that the Lakers are using a hardship exemption:

Quote:
What is a hardship exception? It’s a temporary roster spot that must be granted by the league. It allows a team to exceed the 15-man maximum roster when it has at least four players who are sick or injured for longer than two weeks. Each of the four sick or injured players must miss at least three consecutive games during their two-week absence.

I doubt Nunn has much trade value. He's hurt, no one knows when he's coming back, and he can opt out after the season.

It’s so weird to see a player who once came in 5th for MVP on a ten day contract.

It's due to covid, the only guards we have right now who are active for tomorrow's game are Rondo, Ellington, Reaves, and Bazemore.
