haha California still good but need to double strap in Texas now. Prenump either way.

haha his contract is a walking noose. Not even ring chasers want part of the Lakers lol. If DJ is commanding 3-5 draft pick with low protection I want 3 FRPs and 5 Lakers girls to eat Russ’ final year.

You just explained this entire league. To be cliche… Learn life. Don’t hate the playa, hate the game.

All this Klutch nonsense is so baseless.

Second only to Bleacher Report the pinnacle of Sports journalism.

Primo needs to play SL. Be interesting to see how he stacks up against Wesley and Branham.

coupled with - 6’6 and 6’7 3 and 4 who can’t defend anywhere on the floor or make an effort to rebound, box out etc

Might be the first pick that doesn’t even sniff Austin.

Unless they materially upgrade the rest of the roster in free agency (which would be hard) replacing Murray with Primo in the starting lineup is a surefire bottom 3 team. At that point cash in on Jak and let Zollins start and you are firmly in the VW sweepstakes.

^ nice. He is the first pick i’ve been excited for in a VERY long time.

I’m surprised teams are offering that much. 4-5 draft pics can be crippling for a franchise to cough up even for a team with decent draft capital.

Oh man. Hard pass.

They won’t be able to pay Simmons if they want to go after Ayton and they’ll still be pressed to max him as they used a fair chunk of cap for Grant already.

Fair enough; Steph and AI were never going to be able to lead LBJ, Melo. Wade etc. It’s actually Kobe’s fault the 04 team didn’t win gold. If he didn’t get caught up with that chick he would have been the perfect leader to keep that team focused. Instead it was AI. Back to the thread though...

Great point. Still some of these lesser known guys are just clowns in my opinion.

Not really DJ’s fault the FO hasn’t surrounded him with better players. DJ could is a leader and do it all player perfect for the as the 2nd or 3rd option in a more talented team. Get him more talent.

> also Lakers aren’t even buyout destination anymore haha.

They look scary on paper if healthy.

Seriously. That screams of twitter fingers thinking Pop still has full control on his way out. There was a time that may have been the case and even at that time it wouldn’t be made public that Pop was sitting there contemplating a stamp of approval. Sounds like pure speculation from someone...

Can’t disagree with any of that and probably a big part of why PATFO thinks they can develop/groom him. They are also fully invested in him whether they like it or not. He has no trade value at this point and if he is really blossoming it has been behind closed doors for only the Spurs to see. ...

We literally could take in 30-50mm in dead money if you move JRich, McBooger and Zollins. Getting multiple firsts next year doesn’t help you when you help ATL become a top 6 team.

He’s been pretty tuned in lately i’d argue. We are all pretty damn blind but if you have followed this team for long enough should at least have a sense of how we operate and not jump to conclusions on twitter rumours. The flip side of that is PATFO has had a very mixed track record the last 5 yrs.

They have the inside scoop so I’d hope they are right but I’d qualify that with the caveat it doesn’t seem like other league execs see Primo the way we supposedly do. I’m not even convinced that internally PATFO see him that way. More a case of keeping his confidence high while they attempt to...

Tre and Primo will be in comp for the point in that scenario, mostly by default. Primo has shown no ability to run point. Tre was leaps and bounds more serviceable than Primo last season, especially at the point. I don’t see either as long term starting quality point guards currently. Primo...

haha all in good fun homie but if you really can see into the future tell PATFO trading DJ better bring back a serious haul.

Great points. Also, thanks for getting rid of the fathead, fathead avatar!

Live from Bankhead… ATL’s very own Miss Cleo!!!!

To out these runours into context from so called connected twitter NBA analysts who flunked out of community college… Earlier this afternoon it was reported Kyrie may opt out to sign for the bi-annual exception with the Lakers. Hours later he opts in. These muppets aren’t connected and don’t...
