So the Lakers think they can recreate Miami's success by having Lebron and AD surround by league minimum vets. I'm actually curious to see how they fill out the roster and how they stack up in the loaded West.

Do you want to see Lonzo Ball in Phoenix? LaVar Ball: Yes I do. The Lakers had the first chance. I told them that if they get all three of my boys, then they will win championships. Everyone of my boys is growing and will be around 6 foot 8. You need all three. They have the best chemistry. – via Arizona's Sports Page
LaVar Ball, Trade, Lonzo Ball, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns
Why is it not working for Lonzo in LA? LaVar Ball: Lonzo makes everyone better. How can you do that when you have 4 guys dribbling it up the court and have Lonzo in the corner. He’s never been a guy that just stands in the corner and shoots 3’s and plays half court defense. He’s been a guy who controls the game. You can’t do that if you keep taking him out. – via Arizona's Sports Page

I'd actually take Melo but Gelo hasn't proven he can play at the NBA level.

If Lakers don't get AD now, they aren't getting him later

That means Batum is gone. Tony won't like that. |

Tobias Harris to the 76ers

I'll take it. He'll be the best big since Zo. It's close to Memphis so he can visit his mom. That might make him sign long-term. Gets Kemba some help and makes his decision to stay easier. |

Tobias Harris to the 76ers Damn, that's a pretty stacked starting line up. Can they get some chemistry going though? Who starts along with Butler, Simmons, Harris, and Embiid? |

I liked the deal that was floated around about Conley and Gasol going to Toronto. |

I like the trade for Philly, but is Tobias ready to take a back seat for a chance at the ECF?

It vaults Philly past Boston. I don't think they can beat Philly in a seven game series now. Boston has a deeper team but less experience with Hayward not fully back. |

Jazz have offered Rubio, Favors, and a 1st round pick for Conley.

The trade the Grizzlies and Hornets have discussed would see Gasol head to Charlotte in exchange for Bismack Biyombo, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and a protected first-round pick, league sources tell Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer. However, the two sides haven’t been able to agree on the protections for the draft pick, according to O’Connor, who confirms that the impasse might be enough to derail the deal entirely.

Protections are the price of doing business. Nobody sends unprotected pix, especially first round pix. I guess they still value Monk highly but I'll take trading MKG away. The status quo isn't working. |

Holy CRAP are the Lakers in deep ish! Getting blown out like that and the probability of new Orleans and the Celtics both making a mistake have this season looking rocky...
I can't understand why Danny would ruin what he's worked so hard to build to rent ad for a season. Tatum is a legit Superstar why trade him away for anybody? You don't need to. These guys should've proven themselves with their performance sans Irving and Gordon now you watching them lose chemistry and are making it worse? Irving might leave and instead of adding to win now you gonna hold chips for a summer trade??
Just dumb. Trade Terry for vucevic and go for the title!!!

Cuz they just traded him for nothing. No they haven't been. I guess they see him as a overlap of giannis but even then if he can play it would make sense to play him anyway. I think he probably actually sucks lol |

As of Tuesday night, the Rockets and Cavaliers remained engaged in trade discussions involving Cleveland guard Alec Burks, according to Jason Lloyd of The Athletic. The hypothetical deal would send Brandon Knight and a first-round pick to the Cavs, Lloyd notes.
Not sure that makes a ton of sense for the Rockets.
They need a defensive wing who shoots 3s.
They need Corey Brewer.
Why haven't they signed him yet?

Better than the Ryan Anderson contract they traded to get him, though. |
