jaedmc Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 There's 24 games left and they're third worse in the league. Tanking sucks but so do the Lakers. Their season is over and they gotta keep that pick. Might as well make the most of the tank and get an extra pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Time for Sam Dekker to start in place of Harden! If, you know, they want to lose 10 more games than they would have. On, Wisconsin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hope is they tank and still end up 6th in the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I think getting a 1st for Williams, even a not-great one, is a huge win for the Lakers. This trend of hiring people with no front-office experience to be GMs is totally baffling to me, especially since the track record of the teams that have done it is so poor.

Ryan Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It seems to be a reoccuring theme in many industries. For example, I am the new head of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Some fun details about the Demarcus Cousins trade. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/were-learning-more-stunning-demarcus-181738999.html Cousins agent was telling teams not to trade for him because he wouldn't resign. (This is because Boogie and his agent would be losing 30 million dollars on the next contract.) Apparently the Detroit Pistons had offered Andre Drummond, but Sacramento said no. New Orleans offered the SAME DEAL to the SIXERS for Okafor and Philly said no. Being a GM must be really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The first shoe drops: Nerlens Noel to Dallas for Bogut, Justin Anderson, and a conditional first. No word on the protection on the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 So Philly isn't actually getting a pick then? Unless there's something else to this deal that's a bad haul for Noel, and I'm a dude that likes Justin Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 We literally just robbed Philly. Will eat my shoe if we improve enough to pick lower than 18. So we get a 22 year old center with a ton of potential, and a likely top 10 pick. Hate that Anderson didn't work out, because I really liked him, but Carlisle had given up on him.

jaedmc Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Surprised to see Noel get moved over Okafor. Can Magic make a Paul George deal happen at the buzzer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Sounds like Bogut is either getting moved again or bought out. Philly was about 8 mil under the salary floor yesterday so they're going to need to pick up contracts somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The pick Dallas traded is 1-18 protected. If things stay the way we expect, that pick becomes 2nd rounder in 17 and 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Philly sees the LA Lakers tank job and raises. The 76ers trade Ersan Ilyasova to Atlanta for two 2's and the corpse of Tiago Splitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
