Dolfan in NYC Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 And per The Athletic, the Lakers offered Russ, a 1 in '27, and two 2's to Indiana for Buddy Hield and Myles Turner. It's unclear if the Pacers laughed hysterically or just hung up the phone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unclear if the Pacers laughed hysterically or just hung up the phone. Allegedly the deal broke down because the Lakers wouldn't throw in their 2029 pick as well. Which, on one hand, makes sense. LeBron is going to be retired by then, Davis might be, who knows what the Lakers will look like, that could be a very valuable and needed pick. On the other, you have an aging but still great LeBron James and a potentially still good if he stays healthy Anthony Davis. This is a time to maximize your window and try to get banner #18 before Boston does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 So it's looking possible that the NBA will let players start jumping straight from high school again as soon as 2025. That sound you hear is every GM who has traded away a 2025 first rounder wailing in anguish about possibly missing out on a double class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Reportedly Draymond will demand a max contract extension from GS. (This would roughly be 5/141) Of note... Draymond is 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 The NBA is officially investigating the Sixers for possible tampering shenanigans with regards to Tucker, House, and Harden. Possibly because Woj broke the Tucker signing, with years and dollars, literally one minute into the legal period, the House deal five minutes later, and Harden having possibly already agreed to his new cheaper deal in order to fit two of his former Rockets teammates in under the cap before he had even opted out.

hammerva Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 If the decision about who is the best was based on championships then Russell is the only one better than Jordan and he is almost DOUBLE it. Also the only man in basketball college or pro who can control Wilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Two high school state championships Two college national titles Eleven NBA championships.
