had to do this but man i hate the idea of giving up yet another first round pick for a point guard rental
By jjasper Go To PostBittersweet day. Not a huge fan of the haul as long unless the second pick is a good one.
By Fenderputty Go To PostJazz did good
Their backcourt is tiny. I would have went after Russell and if I couldn't get him I'd make that deal for Conley.
Per league source, the 2020 pick the Grizzlies are getting in Conley trade has the following protections:Ok so the pick is good. I’m ok with it. Saves money gets a good pick and the the best tripper
2020 1-7, 15-30 (conveys 8-14)
2021 - same as above
2022 - 1-6
2023 1-3
2024 - 1
2025 - converts to two seconds
conley was a 20 ppg scorer last year on good %s lifting a bad squad
jazz will definitely be top 3 in the west

You go after Russell you don’t get to add by subtraction via crowder. Though that could have maybe happened somewhere else?
Lets be honest, would a guy who has only played in L.A. and New York really sign with Utah when he will get the same offer from others? I don't think the Jazz have ever gotten a good free agent that wasn't in "family man" mode.
By Red Blaster Go To Postconley to the jazz
Great deal for the jazz.
What a steal for the Jazz. Helps their shooting and removes some of the burden from Mitchell.
If I were the Jazz I'd trade Favors for a 3/4 that can shoot because their spacing isn't great right now.

Because of the intricacies of the NBA, the Lakers would like the Pelicans to stall on making their trade official. Waiting until the end of July could net the Lakers up to $32.5 million if Davis decides to waive his trade kicker, which would be worth about $4 million.This is a fascinating read of the changes in team building in the new NBA Salary Cap-ology. With scrubs and mid-tier talent salaries spiking Lakers are pretty much trying to get 3 max players and fill out the rosters with 2nd rounders, G-Leaguers and UDFAs.
The Lakers worst case scenario is the Pelicans trading the pick to a team that doesn’t want to wait or, for that matter, New Orleans deciding it wants its assets immediately. The trade would go through on July 6 and the Lakers cap space would plummet to about $23.7 million, a long way off from what a maximum salary player would command.
That worst-case scenario, by the way, also means Pelinka didn’t take any of this into account during the trade negotiations or was unable to secure a guarantee for what is really a tremendous difference maker this summer.

What would happen if the Lakers just went ahead and signed Kawhi or another max player before July 6th, thus becoming unable to complete the trade before July 30th and forcing NO to wait?
If that course of action isn't straight up illegal under the NBA's rules, that's probably what they should do.

I'm with it, Stern. Let's fuck shit up and take names after.

I'm not sure what to think of this. I personally think this team needs to recalibrate their roster a little bit and spending that much money isn't going to allow it.
Point guards are pretty overrated
Rubio in the olympics almost beat Kidd, prime Williams and CP3
I’m expecting Horford and Kyrie in Brooklyn since they play the Celtics like 4 times a year

By pilonv1 Go To PostHorford isn't a big enough name for the Lakers to blow their money on though.
Pilon plz
Oh so everybody wanna be a Laker again huh. Nah breh go be like LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan instead. Oh shit maybe Horford should go play for Pop!
Horford would be nice, just not long term max nice. The only person worth going for star power and not added depth is Kawhi.
