Mitch and Jim are probably working on a contract extension for Byron after tonight's win.

 

[Los Angeles]

Y they have to go and do that

Larry Nance's shimmy. And Anthony Brown clutching Swaggy's arm are also hilarious.

But Roy's reaction takes the cake.

Trying to envision himself on the court. If you squint hard enough it becomes real.

WELP

 

[trickster360cj]

Getting ugly

 

[lovehateself]

That escalated...right on que

 

[Los Angeles]

Thats more like it

 

[kingjaffejo]

I would complain but whats the point...whats the point...

 

[darthska]

Heard a prominent head coach tonight mention that one of the things he always looks at is assists to field goal attempted. "If we're moving the ball around, we give ourselves a good chance."

I'm shleep, tho.

(*waits for... lots of things, actually*

"Who?" Not Popp or Phil, so therefore they will be clowned if I said.

"Making stuff up again."

Fans. Definitely waiting for my couple fans. )

There is absolutely nothing to complain about.

OKC is a far more superior team than the Lakers.

Ball movement or no ball movement.

We stood no chance and wont for a while.

 

[Lizakers]

Ya wasn't it baron Davis who said nobody in this league is 40 pts better than another team?

Basically if you're losing by 35-40 then it's because of reasons other than simply talent

I know we have no business beating OKC, but to lose by 40 a few days ago and 35 tonight, unacceptable

1. The struggles of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Caldwell-Pope has slumped to 30 percent from deep, and defenses are starting to take an extra step or two away from him to clutter the Reggie Jackson-Andre Drummond lob fest. Caldwell-Pope's defense is essential to Detroit, especially when he envelops opposing point guards so that Jackson can catch his breath, but the Pistons still feel one player and some shooting away from being a frisky playoff team.

That player really shouldn't be a wing with Caldwell-Pope, Marcus Morris, Stanley Johnson and Jodie Meeks to absorb 96 minutes, and depth issues at almost every other position. But with Meeks still recovering, expect the Pistons to sniff around available wings as trade season heats up -- perhaps using Brandon Jennings and a protected 2016 first-rounder as bait. This franchise is desperate to feel the playoffs again. Keep an eye on Eric Gordon once the Pelicans punt the season.

I don't think Lou has enough value to get back an expiring contract and a first round pick back, so Jennings alone will do.

But maybe SVG is that desperate to get back into the playoffs.

Have an idea better than that.

Lou Williams, Brandon Bass, Marcelo Huertas, Lakers 2016 2nd Round Pick

For

Anthony Tolliver, Joel Anthony, Steve Blake & 2016 Top 12 Protected 1st.


Crowds them a lot in the wing.

RJax / Jennings
KCP / Lou / Meeks

But that gives them a lot of different types of looks. Also Bass > Tolliver. So it fills their depth when it comes to PF with Ilyasova, Bass & can slide Marcus up as well for some spot minutes

And if they are really worried about Center depth. They have Jennings expiring and 2- 2nds to look for a decent Center.


For us

-it clears time for Russell, Clarkson, Randle & Nance.
-Takes $7mil off cap for next year. $10mil with Bass, but he would have declined Player Option anyway.
-We get a late first (Pistons currently 20th pick. Could be anywhere from 16-23 honestly).
-Makes us worse for those on team tank.
-We go into 2016 with Russell, Randle, Clarkson (QO), Nance Jr., A. Brown, Black (QO), 23rd Pick & Nick Young totaling $19.646mil. $69.354mil in cap space. That's enough for a 30% max, a 25% max and $20.4mil afterwards.
-If we get the 1-3 pick and all those other guys it gives us a 30% max, 25% max and $15.4-$16.4 mil left to spend (which could go to Clarkson & Black) and enter into 2017 with close to $20mil in cap space.

I never understand Internet forum trade banter
Like GMs are reading this and getting ideas
None of these suggestions will ever materialize in the real world

Because there's nothing else going on or to do. Now go sit down and drink some Ovaltine.

**** nobody should ever write anything about anything basketball because it's very few if any GMs read what the media says.

 

[Lizakers]

Can I stand and drink it?

 

[licensed to ball]

Good L tonight

 

[moonman818]

I'll be happy if we can get a mid-late first rounder for Bass and/or Lou

And of course if Scott can get fired.


This season is over so let's just secure the tank and move forward

Bass may be better than Tolliver, but SVG loves his PFs shooting threes.
