LAL short term center solution is to sign Alex Len, they can use a big body to cover (atleast) Jokic along with Hayes & Vanderbilt.
Then in the offseason they could target the likes of Turner, Gafford, Drummond even Capela

Raptors fans will tell you Poeltl is worth way more. Honestly, I don't think teams are willing to pay that much for him. It might be worth it to keep him, though, if this is the price we're getting.
I do however like it for both Cleveland and the Lakers.
2.) 26 Jan 2025 02:39:23
I think Toronto can do better.
3.) 27 Jan 2025 09:57:06
If you throw Davion Mitchell for G. Vincent TOR is maybe getting LAL 2031 1st. Also, CLE should throw at least 1 more second (2 in total) .
24 Jan 2025 13:55:29
LAL/PHX/MIA/MIL/CHA 5 way megadeal to finally end the Butler drama

1.) 24 Jan 2025 14:43:32
Why is Charlotte getting 3 firsts? Miles Bridges is barely positive value, and he comes with baggage.
2.) 24 Jan 2025 21:17:47
I can see why Charlotte is getting 3 firsts. 1 for their players and 2 for taking the players they're taking.
What I don't believe is that Milwaukee wants Beal.
3.) 27 Jan 2025 10:00:36
Terrible Value for MIL. B. Lopez alone has better value than B. Beal.

What do you think about the trade deadline so far?
Doncic for Davis, Max
Lavine / Fox / Picks deal
Butler for Wiggins Tucker pick
Ingram for Brown, Olynyk picks
Theis to Thunder is another underrated move
Knecht, Reddish pick for Mark Williams
Kuzma for Middleton deal
This could be one of the most interesting deadlines so far
Who wins?
1.) 06 Feb 2025 16:31:20
I think the opinions on the Luka trade is clear.
I love the idea of a Fox-Wemby pairing.
Lots of people have said they don't like the deal for GSW but I think you'd rather have Butler and Curry and just figure it out from there.
I love Ingram in Toronto
Not too sure about the Thunder but Theis is pretty good.
I'm kinda surprised the Lakers gave up Knecht early, he was one of their best young prospects. Getting a center, though, is pretty big.
It's kinda sad to see Middleton not commanding any value. Kuz I guess is an upgrade?
2.) 06 Feb 2025 19:50:00
Well just like that the Thunder waived Theis.
3.) 07 Feb 2025 01:39:40
Pels got draft capital on a guy that wasn’t going to resign and is often injured. Brown is expiring and they’ll move Olynk before new season. I wish they could’ve moved CJ also.
4.) 07 Feb 2025 09:33:01
LAL are a better and even younger team. : )
03 Feb 2025 01:36:42
2 heavyweight deals in 24hrs. NBA is shaking. Jimmy Butler trade next.
02 Feb 2025 06:23:33
As a Lakers fan, i'm in mixed emotions right now. I know they're thinking future after Lebron and Luka fits in LA business. However, losing one of the best big men today is really hard. I dont know who won this trade, future will tell. Dallas now with 3 headed monster in Davis Gafford & Lively which is very similar to Davis Dwight & Javale who won with the Lakers. I dont expect improvement right away for my Lakers but i hope they can atleast get Myles Turner to anchor their defense along with DFS & Vando ?
I'm thinking Dallas will make another win now move and PJ washington could be out the door and be swapped to a starting caliber 3.
1.) 02 Feb 2025 11:49:07
You just take Luka and worry about the rest later.
2.) 03 Feb 2025 07:39:56
LA is a free agent destination. They should wait and sign Giannis in 27.
20 Nov 2024 15:12:43
Saw this on a random players selection, who wins in a series?
Team 1
Pg Ja Morant
Sg Kawhi Leonard
Sf Lebron James
Pf Dirk Nowitzki
Ce Joel Embiid
Vs
Team 2
Pg John Stockton
Sg Kobe Bryant
Sf Dominique Wilkins
Pf Tim Duncan
Ce Dwight Howard
1.) 28 Nov 2024 13:39:05
Team one when healty+ young LBJ.
28 Sep 2024 22:35:34
Honest opinion who will be willing to pay Brandon Ingram?
1.) 29 Sep 2024 21:44:18
I think no one.
06 Feb 2025 09:39:33
Almost. A first and a 2nd made it.
03 Feb 2025 12:55:30
Gasupo watch Luka kill it in LA, he can be more motivated than ever.
02 Feb 2025 20:04:19
Overvaluing Vooch much? No wag i give Dalton for him.
24 Jan 2025 19:14:16
A trade that is so homer. At a glance i thought it's so bad for the Jazz then i saw what the Blazers are getting and it's laughable at the least.
21 Jan 2025 16:37:04
So what gets you Gafford?
06 Feb 2025 19:50:00
Well just like that the Thunder waived Theis.
05 Feb 2025 08:54:32
Gasupo you do realize that AD in New Orleans had plenty of help but achieved nothing?
25 Jan 2025 09:46:21
Trae Young is definitely an allstar. I would make a case for Herro over Wagner too.
14 Jan 2025 21:49:54
Lakers been so inconsistent this season and it's very frustrating. They can beat the best teams at times but then struggling to beat mediocre teams
The positives:
I like the leap of Austin Reaves & Max Christie thus far, hope they can be more consistent
AD has been relatively healthy and that's a good sign
Nice to have a rookie who can play with confidence (Knecht)
The negatives:
I really hate the fact that they dont realize they cant win with AD playing the 5, they just cant. They dont have any reliable big on that roster (Hayes, Koloko are end of the bench guys) .
Note: I dont know what to expect from Lebron, he is still amazing at 40 but sometimes, the decline is evident, he doesnt seem so committed at times id you watch the game closely, though you cant blame him for just enjoying the game in this twilight of his career.
Key notes:
- Improvement in damn 3 point shooting, ironic that they have a coach who loves shooting but they cant hit their shots
- turnover, lousy passes, unforced errors. Those simple things are killing them especially in crucial stages of the game
- need to find a center badly, remove Hachimura from that starting 5 and have a decent center to pair with AD.
06 Nov 2024 22:15:23
Durant will start.
