Theyre getting Charlotte's pick this year?

Did the Hornets use protection? (Im guessing not, bc Hornets).

[Patrick Chewing]

Looks terrible for Chicago

[Axe]

The bulls are the losers of this trade. :ohwell:

:roll:

[Street Hunger]

The Spurs have their second star now. And they still have basically EVERYTHING else. All of their youth, cap flexibility and most of their picks.

[Full Court]

They were going nowhere with Lavine. As a Bulls fan, I'm glad to finally see him go.

[Proctor]

What the hell are the Kings and Bulls doing? :roll:

Demar and Lavine on the Kings together. You've gotta be kidding.

Spurs finally fielding a tolerable roster. Just get rid of Keldon.

[Xiao Yao You]

The bulls are the losers of this trade. :ohwell:


:roll:

Team with lavine loses

[L.Kizzle]

The real trade happened yesterday ... who care about this one lol

[Neal Romer]

LaVine and DeMar reunited lmfao


^ My first thought.

Kings should have just kept Fox and said if you wanna leave in two years go ahead.

[Axe]

Team with lavine loses
I agree. But not having any future 1st round pick in return is equally crap too. :facepalm

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Did the Hornets use protection? (Im guessing not, bc Hornets).
Yeah, it's lotto protected. Kings shoulda demanded the Atl pick from Spurs. THAT one is unprotected and Hawks just lost Johnson for the season.

Overall, Spurs the clear biggest winner. Really just for being able to keep Castle, Sochan, Vassel, etc. Even kept Keldon, jesus.

Kings didn't make it out too bad. Lavine is actually better than Fox on offense. Better shooting and efficiency. Kings D may take a dip, but that's fine. Fox is NOT a leader. LaVine at least has passion, even if his D sucks.

If Kings got the Atl pick instead of the Cha pick, I'd give the Kings a A-. But for now, it's a B/B+. Spurs a clear A+++++++++. Bulls? B I guess. Got their own pick back and will have better cap situation next season, but who's gonna go there?

[Xiao Yao You]

How long before pero antic has kings going to finals? :cheers:

1 good pick. Lavine is a loser

Yossi Gozlan: The Spurs got De’Aaron Fox while sending out four firsts. One is a Hornets first that will convey into two seconds. One is a Bulls that is probably never going to convey. And another is one of their own in 2027. The only of value they sent out IMO is the 2031 Wolves pick. They still have a lot of good picks left for future moves. – via x.com

Convey into two seconds?

The hell does that mean?

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Since it's Top 14 protected and, well, there's 99.99% chance Hornets don't make the playoffs, the Hornets will keep the pick. Since they keep the pick for the 2025 Draft, it then turns into 2 2nd rnd picks, I guess in 2026.

Pick protection is stupid, but conveying is ESPECIALLY stupid. The increase of value of 2nd rnd picks in recent years is so stupid. I'd rather just have a pick have diminishing protection over the years instead of 2 2nds. But in general, I wish pick protection was banned.

[Xiao Yao You]

Carrying bad teams to playoffs. Hes no whiteside or gaza thats for sure! :facepalm

[Im Still Ballin]

This could work for Sacramento as long as Sabonis becomes even more of a facilitating focal point. As long as they don't let DeMar slow things down too much because that's what hurt LaVine's game before.

[Neal Romer]

Carrying bad teams to playoffs. Hes no whiteside or gaza thats for sure! :facepalm

Why does he keep losing to Doncic with a higher seed?

[Im Still Ballin]

Let Sabonis go full Jokic. He's averaging 20.8 ppg, 14.4 rpg, 6.5 apg this season. He should be doing like 20-25 ppg with 8-10 apg. He's so efficient (67.6% TS) he can afford to do a little more.

[ArbitraryWater]

..... why

[Full Court]

I'm liking this Spurs team now. Maybe they'll start making some noise.

Presuming the Kings keep DeRozan, the Kings can be real nice if Sabonis is Joker Jr and the ex-Bulls buy-in on defense and spreading the wealth on offense. (okay, maybe the defense part is a reach).

But if Domas, DeRozan, LaVine, Monk, and Keegan are all clicking together and firing on all cylinders? Kings will be just fine this season, imo. #6 seed? Ehh...West is loaded lol. But I don't think they fall out of play-in. Yes, even with Spurs currently behind them.

[iamgine]

Fox is an average second star but he's a lot better than what SAS have.

[beasted]

I'm liking this Spurs team now. Maybe they'll start making some noise.

They still have no 3 and D guys except Barnes, which is what you need around Wemby and Fox. Maybe go all in and swing a CP3 and filler trade for Cam Johnson.

[Neal Romer]

It's this.

Yama and Fox is fine. It's decent. It is an upgrade but it's not contending for anything right now. And I dont see it as a duo that's gonna carry an average cast to real contention. Theyre gonna need real depth. Theyll need someone to turn into a Norman Powell and someone else to turn into a Mo Wagner. Etc. They need a complete team, these two alone arent just gonna carry.

So it's an ok start but they still have a ways to go. They shouldnt give Fox the full max, hes a very good player but not a top 10 player, not really even top 15. They will but it will be a mistake. So in a way this kind puts them in a more prominent spot on the treadmill, but it doesnt make them elite. And Im not sure I see the path to that.

Giddey being an actual playmaker/someone looking to pass helped LaVine's game a lot. You hope Sabonis can do the same.

[Vino24]

Spurs fleeced tf outta this trade :biggums::biggums::biggums:

[90sgoat]

Spurs looking pretty good now, it's a shame Chris Paul is so old.

[GOBB]

Why would kings get Atlanta first rd pick? Especially when you mention Lavine being a better scorer than Fox. Kings didn’t give up anything player wise or important but Fox.

[tpols]

This should solidly put the Spurs in the playoffs. Fox can play... he's basically averaging Kobe or Wade numbers, just a tad less. I know that doesn't mean much today but I did watch him light the warriors up in the playoffs so I may be biased after seeing that.

[Jasper]

this opens bulls to tank to get college trapp

[Meticode]

They were going nowhere with Lavine. As a Bulls fan, I'm glad to finally see him go.

We know, but for what they got back looks like crap.

[Meticode]

Spurs looking pretty good now, it's a shame Chris Paul is so old.

Why? What did Chris Paul win when he was younger? He was in the middle of his prime and had a prime Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, J.J. Redick along with Jamal Crawford among other serviceable vets. Yet, they won nothing.

[Meticode]

Fox is an average second star but he's a lot better than what SAS have.

Pretty spot on.

[90sgoat]

Why? What did Chris Paul win when he was younger? He was in the middle of his prime and had a prime Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, J.J. Redick along with Jamal Crawford among other serviceable vets. Yet, they won nothing.

He failed when he had to carry his teams. Wemby is much better than Blake.

[coin24]

Shitcago stays losing.. what a dumpster fire

[ArbitraryWater]

Why? What did Chris Paul win when he was younger? He was in the middle of his prime and had a prime Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, J.J. Redick along with Jamal Crawford among other serviceable vets. Yet, they won nothing.

Can you read? Hes simply saying Paul was a lot better in his prime. Also lol at those names like its some superteam.

[Meticode]

Can you read? Hes simply saying Paul was a lot better in his prime. Also lol at those names like its some superteam.

And I'm simply saying it wouldn't matter. Those Clippers teams are better overall than what the Spurs have now. Yes, Wemby is the best player among any of those names, but collectively those Clippers teams are better than the Spurs as they are formed right now.

And I'm simply saying having Paul in his prime or younger wouldn't matter. He's never gotten over the hump even with a better than what the Spurs are now. Paul now? They win nothing. Paul 10 years ago, they still win nothing. He's proven that already.

[Meticode]

He failed when he had to carry his teams. Wemby is much better than Blake.

Then it really doesn't matter if you're going to want him to play second fiddle because of his shortcomings as the best player on the team

He literally put up 41/8 to send his team to the finals at 35.

Thats the funny thing about narratives built solely on accomplishments. Once you pull off what it’s said you can’t do people don’t actually care. They just keep on with the same claim you can’t even when they see it. People only hold you accountable till you get it done then they move the goal posts to the thing they mocked you for not doing not even being anything noteworthy to do.

Prime Paul on this team would definitely be of use. 5 years ago Paul might have them contending.

[tontoz]

Paul led OKC to the playoffs the year after they got rid of PG13 and Westbrook. Everyone was sure they would be lottery.

The next year Paul took the Suns to the Finals with Booker and Ayton lol.

Meticode is so low IQ that i actually blocked him years ago, something i rarely do.

[Axe]

No, i don't think so. They should get pop to retire too since he's way too old for his job now. But maybe he should pick a good successor.

Btw this is ot but the retarded homosexual below you is an obsessed narcissist who deepthroats a lot and thinks about grown-up men everyday.

Some players never were meant for winning no matter what statline they put up. He can carry a team on his back. The truth at the end of the day it doesn't matter. He has no Finals appearances. Not a winner. He'll be known for three things when he retires. Not ever making the Finals. Being second all-time in assists and being one of the greatest floppers ever.
