The Six Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 4 hours ago, DG_Now said: People talk like the Lakers are the big bad of the NBA, but they haven't won a trade since Pau a decade ago. I really don't get the league-wide animus toward a team that's been middle of the pack, at best, for a decade, and has only scored one big free agent since Shaq. The perception is way far away from reality. Nobody likes the poor widdle Lakers. Boo hoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimalCookie Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Um... so Fultz is a Magic (Magician? Magic player?) now, I guess. Not too surprising, since it's been known for a long time that the FO is in love with him, but I'm really surprised they got such a good deal - we fleeced the Sixers. Simmons, OKC pick that, at best, would be 21st, and a 2nd for last year's #1 overall pick is insane, and I'm very surprised Philadelphia agreed. Could he end up being a bust after all? Of course. But when we need a PG for the future and the opportunity for a former #1 pick is on the table, you need to take it - especially if you only have to give up a mediocre bench player and two bad picks for him.

Digby Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Yeah, I don't have a lot of belief that Fultz will go very far, but certainly worth a shot given the price for a team like Orlando. Congrats to whichever Sixers regime traded Jayson Tatum for a couple picks and Jonathan Simmons?

Digby Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The televised All-Star Game draft is a delight. Giannis replying to LeBron picking Durant and Irving with "good pick, great pick" is outstanding.

Congrats to whichever Sixers regime traded Jayson Tatum for a couple picks and Jonathan Simmons? I can't say I do either, but you're right about it being worth a shot. This is the definition of a low risk, high reward type of deal. Maybe this is where the FO starts to show its cards regarding the long-term rebuild, too - which is something every Magic fan wants to see.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 At the end of the trade deadline, the Pelicans ended up with a worse team but a week conspiring with Woj to troll the Lakers. And they're playing AD the rest of the season, where anything can happen. And their record stinks.

Weird day for Danny Ainge. Always loved the Thirst Crusher; was so glad when he played for the Pels. Was really pissed to see him go-- his veteran leadership was the missing piece of the puzzle. IMHO, his presence was key to the team's success last year, a lot moreso than Boogie Cousins' presence. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed especially when you hear the stories about him doing team meeting and setting up practices with the younger players to get their confidence up it really shows what kind of leader he is.

"Those top teams in the East, yeah, they're going for it," James told The Athletic's Joe Vardon. "Toronto is going for it, Milwaukee's going for it, Philly. Boston believes they can do it, too. They know they ain't gotta go through Cleveland anymore. "Everybody in the East thinks they can get to the Finals because they ain't gotta go through me." He's not wrong. Speaking of LeBron, here are his All-Star starting picks: Western Conference Starters LeBron James, F, Los Angeles Lakers Kevin Durant, F, Golden State Warriors Kyrie Irving, G, Boston Celtics Kawhi Leonard, F, Toronto Raptors James Harden, G, Houston Rockets How weird that three of those guys are the biggest marquee free agents this offseason.
