Great signing. Unthinkable to me he lasted on the market this long as it's not his fault Phoenix is a TRASH organization too stupid to play their lottery picks while they're winning >20 games a year. Totally laughable!!!

Totally laughable!!! I will not argue that phoenix has been/likely still is a garbage organization Howevah... Dragan Bender is not an NBA player in any way shape or form He played 82 games and 26 minutes per game in 2017-18 (good for second highest total minutes on the team behind TJ warren) and averaged 6.5 pts and 4.5 rebounds on terrible shooting and looked like a scared baby rabbit out there. Playing time wasn’t the issue. Bender is just not good.

The thudders have like 83 picks over the next 5 years, why is cp3 not in Miami yet again?
Either give them both of their first round picks back with protections (lottery or swap rights) or give them the '21 pick back which should be outside the lottery anyway.
ish doesn't make sense. You gonna hold CP trying to take your picks from 83 to 103? Just trade him.
And you have to love presti saying George lied about it being mutual.
Them snakes PG and kweewee ain't winning Jack lol

17-18 Suns had Chandler, chriss, Dudley, Monroe, Len and Williams all in the way of him playing CONSISTENTLY to develop with Warren also probably consuming prime minutes at the 4.
Add in the guards and Warren chucking away and how could he possibly have a chance to develop??
If he's really that bad it makes Phoenix look even WORSE as they drafted chriss too and that dude ain't in the league, neither is Williams and their other top 5 pick Len is coming off Atlanta's bench.
You can't explain this kind of stink by blaming it on a young euro that it should've been clear would take a couple years to develop fully. I remember thinking back then why is Chandler even on that team and playing big minutes??
Suns are an abomination.

Magic don't work for the Lakers so that's a pretty convenient and bullish excuse. He chose the clippers, ok, get your faking ass kicked then. Magic had nothing to do with that fakery him and uncle dunce pulled lol Here are my West playoff seeding predictions: 1. Clippers 2. Denver 3. Houston 4. Utah 5. Lakers 6. Portland 7. GSW/SAS 8. SAS/GSW And GSW is only that low because of Klay's injury. They're a too 3 team with Klay. The Lakers are a LeBron or AD injury away from not making the playoffs and SAC or DAL being in. The Lakers missed out HUGE in FA. If AD and LeBron go all out every game and don't miss any games, then they'll finish higher than 5, but the sum of their parts doesn't make them better than Denver and LAC will be. The Clippers made the playoffs in one of the toughest WC seasons in a long time, lost essentially no one in FA, and landed a top 3 player(arguably #1) and a top 10 player. "Laker would've made the playoffs if LeBron was healthy all year" -- He wasn't healthy all year because his body broke from going all out every game... Trading AD for all their depth doesn't make them a championship contender. Not trolling, Ridge, this is my honest take. Give a legit response back. Lakers could be better than Utah, but tell me why they're better than my 1-3

Portland is a team to look out for. I suspect they will trade for Kevin Love or Blake Griffin at the deadline when Nurkic comes back I actually really like their roster and what they did during FA. Whiteside for cheap isn't a bad pick up. Gasol probably won't play much, but could be good vet experience with loads of playoff success experience. Re-upping Rodney Hood and getting Bazemore. They're a team that could finish anywhere between 3-7 depending on how quickly that team gels and Nurkic gets healthy.

Trading AD for all their depth doesn't make them a championship contender. Not trolling, Ridge, this is my honest take. Give a legit response back. Lakers could be better than Utah, but tell me why they're better than my 1-3 Tell me how and why everyone is on Houston. Like, how do people really think those 2 can WIN together? Russ don't play no damn defense either. He cant shoot. They made NO other roster upgrades and have an idiot for a coach. MAYBE if they got rid of Damnphony I would have more faith, but nah. 'enver will be fun and exciting but they're not ready to win a chip. Baby steps. And IF MPJ isn't legit they're still essentially playing 4 on 5. Plus i'm not sold on their defensive ability. Clippers? Whatever. PG and Kweewee both are ENORMOUS injury risks. Roster outside of them is eh. I mean beverly is scrappy as hell but still got a 50 burger from KD. I'm not sold he can TRULY be a "stopper" when it matters or bury the pressure bucket when it matters. Lou is defenseless. Harrell is too damn short at the end of the day he's a backup. Golden State will be fine. They replaced Klay with D'angelo and brought in a bunch of young talent to eat minutes. Russell allows for steph to run off screens, he might average 40 this year. They still have a hungry and motivated Green in a contract year. They'll be fine. Utah is scary already and if Spida activates "'04 D-Wade cheat code" (which I suspect he will) they are going to be TERRIFYING to play against. They're my dark horse but I question their depth quality. Portland may take a step back. I question their guys outside the big 2. I feel like they REALLY should've kept Aminu Spurs, I just don't see it. You're counting on a superstar leap from a guy that was offensively challenged in the first place and missed the ENTIRE season last year? Who's the MAN on this team? LA? Demar? IDK they just seem like a bunch of nice pieces that don't form a puzzle. They'll compete but aren't a contender and certainly could be looking up the standings from #10 all year. I agree Sacto and 'allas are going to be right there. IF that Zinger guy comes back strong they're almost certainly better than the spurs. I mean, they had to shut that Luka boy down because he was winning too many games for them. With close to ZERO legit help out there. Think about that for a second... Now, the Lakers? Lebron has 3 championships, went to 8 straight finals with all types of different squads and has NEVER played with anyone as good and talented as AD. Kuz is a star. Cousins is a star and IF they keep his minutes down he can have an ENORMOUS impact. And the rest of the roster is mostly loaded with 3+D vets. PLEASE explain to me how they're not gonna be kicking the ish out of most teams, nightly? IF fully healthy come playoff time you REALLY think Lebron is not going to destroy everyone?!? The lakers didn't make the playoffs not because Lebron got hurt but because Ball and Ingram got hurt. Had both of them been there when the kIng returned they would've. Plus the bench vets just didn't work out and couldn't SHOOT. So this season he CLEARLY has a better team and motivation to prove doubters wrong. The league is about to get murdered. On Lebron off night, you gotta beat the twin towers. On davis or cousins off night you gotta be lebron and the other tower. We're going to be there without question. For balance I would roll them like this: AD LeKing LeJavalevator Green Bradley ------- Kuz Cuz KCP Dudley Caruso Daniels Yo lebron got SHOOTERS, watch the funk out!!!! You guys aren't objective, you're haters and it's weird. To deny how faking incredible Lebron is because you're stuck on MJ nostalgia is kinda sad. But whatever. Chips ahoy!!!

That team scares me. There's no way Detroit gives up Blake for Whiteside. They're a playoff team now and the East is weaker (again). Kevin Love is a very real possibility, depending on how Collins does.

It's not that I don't respect or appreciate LeBron's greatness(you used to call him LeBish ALL THE TIME btw). But myself, and many others, believe this is the year he takes a small step back. This is also arguably the best this conference has ever been. If you don't have legit depth, and are great on both sides of the floor, you're not going anywhere. I don't think the Lakers are going to be very good as a team defensively.
For my Spurs, they were a game away from beating the #2 seed Nuggets. If you throw in DeJounte Murray to guard Jamal Murray, I don't think Jamal goes off like he does. The Spurs will be much improved defensively with him on the floor. And I am somewhat banking on the Spurs Murray having improved his offense, because I've seen year-to-year jumps for Spurs players more times than I can count.
Houston didn't get any worse than they were this year. Again, I'm not making Finals predictions, just playoff seeding. 3-6 is going to be as close as it was this past year.

You're thinking of the OTHER black dudes in here bro....(I know I'm wrong, but it was too CLUTCH not to say it lol) So you're banking on this guy coming back and just seamlessly learning how to play with an all new roster while they're learning to play with him after a year off and he's gonna be the new Kweewee? Good luck! As far as MY Lakers are concerned, again, tell me who's beating ANY combination of our Hampton 5 in the playoffs IF fully healthy? Plus we're getting Iggy. IDC about playoff seeding MY Lakers play for championships!!! And again, unless MPJ comes out on a ROY campaign the nuggs didn't get any better. You guys are in for a long season of LA vs LA hype and BK vs Snacks chatter. It is what it is...

He could have been dominant but deferred because it was what the team needed.
