I could see him picking pretty much any of the other teams with cap space, over us. Even Detroit.
Hard to add much when you don't see a minute of game time on the case of LMA, or very little in the case of Mills, and Patty did have one very productive game for them, think in game 3.

He probably has enough juice to dictate his destination via sign & trade so cap space may not even play a major role. Bulls won’t want to lose him for nothing.
I agree though, I suspect we are far down the list. A lottery ball might help.
F that. Lavine was there for a couple of years, and they didn't even make the playoffs. He's a borderline AS like Dejounte, but with different skills. He's not going to improve any more. You do not trade a top 4 pick for that.
Indeed, desparate teams make desperate moves. Not tbecause spurs need some scoring punch that you should throw the big bag for anything else than a true franchise player. 2 years later, " , how do we get rid of that albatros!?"
I think KingKev meant that if we get a top 4 pick that we might be a more attractive FA destination, not that we use it to trade for him.
Doc Rivers is about to blow a 3-0 lead. If there was one coach capable of doing it, it had to be Doc
Haven't his teams blown more 3-1s than any other coach?
Coc can still be the first coach to do that and would still get a job offer from some dumb team afterwards
I would never. My argument was that we are not an appealing destination because we’d still be multiple pieces away from being a real contender. A top 4 pick might make us a more appealing destination.
I’m on record saying I’d only pursue Lavine with salary cap or offer very little via sign and trade.
He’s a high volume, fairly efficient scorer. Would be a nice complement to DJ in the back court.
I believe so. And he still got named by the NBA to that list of 15(?) greatest head coaches.
Yessir!
I’m dreaming but DJ/Lavine/Bachero or Jabari Smith would make an intriguing trio. If you squint you have a you ger version of Phoenix’s big 3.
I've really been impressed by Brandon Ingram in the Pelicans' two play in and four playoff games. It's hard to believe he's only 24-- it feels like he has been around for so long. It has definitely felt this month like there's a passing of the torch in progress among the higher echelons of players. LeBron & KD are still playing very well individually but guys like Taytum, Ingram, and Doncic looked poised to pass them, while Harden, Lowry, & CP3 look more mortal than ever.

Yeah Ingram is straight out balling if Zion comes back healthy and decided to stay Pelicans are going to be the big boy on the block
Thought i was looking at the next Kevin Durant. Ingram was unstoppable from mid range and when attacking the rim.
The pels are looking like a well coached and oiled machine rolling at the right time. Herb Jones with another standout game on both ends. Not having to worry about Devin Booker give the pels more freedom on containing others.
Looking foward to the game coming up.
I'll say this about Morant, he's the best in-game dunker I've ever seen.
He's up there with Vince Carter and Michael Jordan for me.
I'm not convinced Zion will ever stay healthy.
Greg Oden 2.0, tbh
Choke job by the Timberwolves there. They had a chance to seize control of the series
They’re are learning how to win and what it takes…..painful lesson to say the least
T-Wolves are an interesting psychological mix. KAT is incredibly weak-minded and easily frustrated and distracted. DLo is kind of y and can get hot in the clutch but doesn't seem to be a leader. Beverley is a mad yap dog who adds a sense of grievance but no mental toughness. Not sure about Anthony Edwards -- it's close to his team outright, but not quite yet. Does he know how to get others under control? And then they have what seems like a milquetoast coach who is afraid of these personalities. As a whole they seem unappreciative of discipline. When running downhill, they're fearsome, but will they learn what to do when things break against them? There's too much prima donna here to me.
That's one of those 'the sun is just above the horizon, but just below your visor right in front of your view to see where you're going' squints that makes your eyes water
Refs were awful too.
They'll probably get in each other's way.
Anthony is the youngest of the crew and the others have more dominating personalities. There’s a reason KAT ran Jimmy Buckets out of town and it’s not just Jimmy Buckets being a compe ive asshole at times. Anthony to me is the more talented guy and they should have gone to him more. He’s incredible. Don’t know about his personality at this point but seemed more level headed than older guys in his team.
