He jumped trying to get a ball in the air and landed badly. Immediately went to the bench under his own power. Hopefully nothing more than a bad fall.

It was an even trade. We got a great shooting big Mike Muscala. Magic was a great basketball ops guy

1. OKC, Houston, Grizzlies, Orlando can get it done. If you take out "win-now" mode, Spurs for next year (AD + Wemby would be fun).
2. Can get someone to bite for sure. Paul George just got a max contract, Beal just got traded to Phoenix. Some dummy GMs out there
Don't think it's going to happen though. Most likely Bron retires next year with a retirement tour and go from there.
While I hate that Zubac trade, it was part of creating the cap space to bring in AD + Kawhi (with LeBron)
I wish they hadn't pushed all those chips in for Kawhi unless they were assured he was coming.
Valanciunas audition.
Another pointless move and even funnier giving up something he coulda just signed in the off-season.
Folks will celebrate it tho.
Valanciunas audition.
Since you asked a while back.....
Whatever piece (or two) for Val, you got enough pieces in mind for Ant Simons too?
Possible to pull both?

I don’t think Hou is close at all, and if they traded for AD it would most like take all their good players. Orlando would be an interesting fit but I don’t think they quite have the guard play needed to win multiple playoff rounds. Not sure they’d be a “win now” team either. No team is going to give up the future assets it would take to trade for AD just for two years of fun.
One thing to sign a guy like PG with cap space but it’s a totally different thing when the team has to be willing to mortgage part of their future to trade for old LeBron… don’t see it happening.

Don't realistically think so.Since you asked a while back.....

Call Presti and tell him he can have AD for Hartenstein, Wiggins and three FRPs. If it's a no, go to Houston for Brooks, Jabari, Whitmore and two FRPs. Yes, I checked and both proposals work.
Not even via 3 team deal?

That's where the realistic comes into play lol.
1sts to Port
Kuz to Port
Ant + Val to LA
2nds to Wash
And whatever salary we have to move to balance. Vincent, Vando, Rui???
There's nothin in there?

I'd have to think it over. But the Blazers are just a weird team right now. Should be stripped to the studs to prep for a sale (like you alluded to) but are unusually expensive and not good.

GET.
HIM.
ON.
THE.
LAKERS!
Maybe Wash takes Grant and a future 1st from Port (like 2030 or somethin since they could get two of ours)
Not sure the math, but if it could balance.
Us getting Val only does nothing. 3 shot creators isn't enough in May/June. Getting both, least you're trying. I'm not even suggesting it would work, but it's got a better shot.

Cool moment, but I believe they’re roommates and could have easily have easily just swapped jerseys at home.
