Russell Westbrook to the Lakers
Im CACKLING. Of all the moves, why is this the move the Lakers needed to make? Lebron and Westbook both need to be ball dominant. Westbrook looking off AD and Lebron in crunch time to be heroic? LOVE IT. The stat hunting combo of Lebron and Westbrook will be hilariousThe Buddy Hield trade would have made tons of sense. Dude would have had so many open looks and got back to being a 42-43% shooter he was before everyone key'd in on him.I'll crack up if this further cements the Wizards moving Beal and he goes to the Warriors for Wiggins, Wiseman, and picks and they return in 21/22 with a 3 headed monster of Curry, Klay, and Beal and the Lakers trade 2 of their better shooters to run out a Westbrook/AD/Lebron trio who all shoot under 35% from 3 on a good day. Sub 30% quite often.
I think you are being too rough on Westbrook, but I agree with your point. Either Beal or Hield would have been a much better fit for the Lakers.You're also right about 3 point shooting which you gotta have to win in today's NBA. I don't know where that is going to come from.
Portia resigns in Milwaukee for $9M over 2 years, second is player option. That's a steal.
Thats INCREDIBLE value. He clearly likes it here and sees residual value in staying.
Just a great example of where this franchise has come. Not too long ago, this would be the franchise dropping $100M on Jarrett Allen
Unbelievable job by the Bucks to resign Portis. Have you seen these contracts?
Rumors were the bucks were going to re-sign PJ Tucker but he’s going to the Heat. Think the bucks will sign a quality back up PG.
Who are they going after? If Tucker got 15m for two years the Bucks made the right decision.
Some people on the Heat Reddit said Bucks offered more, but he chose the Heat. Can’t really blame him. In my limited knowledge of the salary cap, it seems the Bucks biggest loss here is that they lose his contract for trade flexibility. They don’t free up any space due to him leaving because they had his Bird Rights.
Trying to land someone for a year on the mid level exception. Oladipo, Monk or Patty Mills.
Semi Ojeleye agreed to a one year deal with the Bucks.
So what’s the difference between the Bogdan sign and trade situation that was “tampering” vs all the other sign and trade deals that happened yesterday right at the start of free agency?
