Now they actually lack centers tbh.
Again? You'd think they'd have learned the 1st time.

They'd still lack centers with him, but that's their choice.
Remember when he was a scoring monster. He now shoots at 37% under 10ppg.
This is my first thought once I saw the news of Cousins and Rockets parting. It's probably to fill in for Davis until he comes back.
How much sweetener does Detroit need to add to do a Blake Griffin for Gay/LMA swap? A pick, two?
They’re one of many teams that can’t trade first round picks.
They could offer some of their young guys but doubt anyone bites.
Cousins to Nets.
Pure comedy after he criticized Harden.
Yeah, getting off almost $40 million next season would require at least one prospect (Hayes and/ or Sekou) and them taking back other bad salary.
I think they'll just waive him and eat his money, or buy him out, with the hopes that Blake is willing to give a decent amount back just to be done with Detroit.
Cousins has matured my ass
So true. He'll probably go all "water under the bridge" and go from there, here on out.
I'd take Nets over Lakers if they meet at this point. Nets are seriously flawed on defense, but Lakers are thin and require too much from barely adequate role players.
Like ANY picks or just this year? Can they trade 22?
Griffins contract + young prospect + 22/23 pick would be appetizing.
Nope, none right now, because they put restrictions all the way to 2027 on the pick they owe Houston, thus until their obligation is completed they can't trade 1st round picks (within the allowed 7 year limit).
Unfortunately, it's all lining up perfectly for S bag again. The other contenders are all flawed and he once again has the most complete team in the league, replete with what's probably unmatched motivation considering their historical collapse last season.
The Lakers need James to scale back when Schroder returns (media has already decided MVP is a wrap because bigs are treated like second class citizens in this league) and for Davis to regain MVP form when he returns.
The Nets need to attempt to shore up their lack of defense/rebounding/size on the trade/buyout market.
At least those are conceivable though. The Bucks might be able to address their myriad defensive liabilities on the trade/buyout market, but not their lack of "closer" and the Jazz might be able to address their need for a big wing defender, but not their lack of superstar.
I'm not sure who is s bag in your reference. There are so many.
I do agree LeBron has whined his way to another MVP, no matter what -- although Jokic deserves it more. Lakers' great advantage is that the league is so flat right now, no great teams, and their own among them. I do think I'll take the Nets over them right now. They already showed they cannot slow the Nets down -- I realize AD was out, but so was Durant. The Lakers have good defense, but they wind up having to depend on bad players making key plays.
I'll give you a hint: He used to play here.
Generally speaking, I wouldn't base things off of one random regular season game, with key players missing no less. But yeah, the only ones who can slow down a healthy Nets offense is themselves, if they let ego or indecision get in the way. In terms of most likely to win it, I'd rank them . . .
Tier 1: Clippers
Tier 2: Lakers, Nets
Tier 3: Bucks, Jazz
Yeah, I keep discounting the Clippers. I won't believe it until I see it. I place the Jazz above anyone in the West right now and the Bucks don't factor at all.
Yikes. What a dumb way to en ber your ability to make moves if you’re DET. No idea what they have in terms of prospects, but their draft record doesn’t inspire confidence that their recent picks are any good.
Boogie signed with the Rockets to play with Harden. Not surprised he went there. I always assumed LMA would get a buy out and sign with the Nets. I doubt it will happen now. Maybe the Bucks or Heat now.
The Heat maybe but the Bucks need a center that can actually play defense and LMA isn't that.
Bruh you made that sound like it was official. you
No chance it happens imo but I saw a rumor that the heat want to pursue Demar Derozan, deal was supposedly Demar for Duncan Robinson & Precious Achiwua
