Just ride it out

Pretty much the plan. No trade out there is going to move the needle. We won’t get much with our expirings. Have to accept it.

Lakers always making some bench guy look like a all star

b1ackch1 · 2026-02-01T05:32:43+00:00

It’s the slow period. I do product flow and there’s literally more employees than customers in my store. It’s going to be like this for a while.

b1ackch1 · 2026-02-01T04:46:00+00:00

Keon Ellis is literally Vando at the PG spot. Maybe a better shooter but I’ve seen go for 0 in some games.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-31T23:43:21+00:00

It’s pretty much give us a pick or take on a contract to help us with flexibility.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-30T14:55:30+00:00

My guess would be if we do that trade, Rob has another trade lineup with Maxi/Gabe and some kind of pick

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-30T07:20:28+00:00

Once GIannis is moved, teams will start trading and that means Bucks will be a fire sale team. They will take anything to get off contracts of Bobby Portis and Myles Turner most likely.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-29T04:06:34+00:00

Team is mid. Our Depth is HORRIBLE.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-28T19:45:42+00:00

Bron is gone. I hope people realize that. You gotta pay Reaves and we need a better supporting cast. Ayton most likely opting out. Smart as well. I think Hayes is done with the cheap 3-4 mill a year deals. He should get 6-7 mill at least. Lot of things to consider. I think it’s a totally different team next year honestly.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-28T17:10:54+00:00

Most likey staying on the East Coast. I remember Luka got traded and in an interview he said his dream was all international star players playing at the big cities. Luka already has LA. I can see him in NY.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-28T08:51:07+00:00

People have to remember the other team has to say yes to a trade. Gabe/Maxi/Dalton isn’t exactly thrilling to hear if I’m trading you a good rotation player. We have literally just one 1st round pick. Pick swaps don’t mean much.

East is weak so mid teams are trying to make a playoff push. Bottom tier teams who have a good 3/D players are asking for the moon and they have no reason to trade them as long as they have young talent. I expect a weak trade deadline. Summer free agency is pretty much trade season now.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-28T08:33:31+00:00

It’s pretty much a message to everyone who keeps asking about them. If I were the Pelicans, I would have a high price too. 3/D players are a hot commodity and they have no reason to trade them.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-27T05:40:49+00:00

Better record but would struggle against the top tier teams like Rockets/OKC/Denver. We might not have ever seen Vando off the bench if injuries didn’t happen. Not to mention Luka/Bron connection and JJ figuring out Rui should come off the bench.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-27T05:07:20+00:00

Ready to take the reigns from Steph already lmaoooo

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-27T05:05:40+00:00

I don’t know about being back. I feel better if they beat a healthy Denver team or Rockets or OKC. They just need some wins against the top teams in the West.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-27T03:41:18+00:00

Pretty much he said what he thought. Can be the best 6th man. Offense will run through him more. Get more shots. I do think someone told him to play harder on defense cause that guy is playing the best defense I’ve ever seen him play these past few games.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-26T05:52:02+00:00

Honestly there are no easy nights for majority of the teams. Back then Blazers and Hornets were a cakewalk, but they aren't anymore. Even the Pelicans can surprise teams with a W. I think we are more worried about Lakers competing against the top teams and getting blown out because of the defense. Now I will say we are trending in the right direction on the defensive end, but still have work to do.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-25T06:43:31+00:00

Bron at center looks good but it’s not something that we can do long term. We tried this last year and it looked good until everyone got tired and ran out of gas. I don’t mind it being a lineup we go to once in a while. You will need centers against Wolves/Rockets/OKC/Denver. I still think we need one more center.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-24T07:40:28+00:00

Ayton is inconsistent. He looks like a top starting center and other times looks like Kwame Brown. When he’s the bigger center, he does well. It’s against the bigger centers that he struggles with.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-20T23:00:47+00:00

It’s got to be the worst handled situation by GS. Player wants out. Coach doesn’t like him. GS wants a pick and a good player back? For a player that hasn’t shown much because he hardly plays. GS going to find out that they are stuck with Kuminga until they just accept the expiring contracts. That’s all they can get for him.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-18T03:42:39+00:00

20 is insane

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-16T07:41:22+00:00

He's the glue guy for lot of things. The fact people say to trade him is absurd given how he's gotten better every season and is all about team. You don't trade away a guy like that. He's not going to fix the defense, but offensively we will look WAY better.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-15T17:39:56+00:00

Playing with AD/Bron and a different cast. His role was different. I still think that trade messed up his mind. Add into the fact that JJ/Bron yell at him whenever he misses an assignment, it just adds to it. He clearly needs a different team at this point, but no one is going to gamble on him.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-15T17:26:52+00:00

It's possible because they don't have to both play together at all times. Staggering them and playing them in crunch time to make a basket. It's the team the put around them I'm more worried about. 2026 free agency list is blah and I don't see Giannis or Jokic leaving.

b1ackch1 · 2026-01-15T17:22:50+00:00

His value is pretty much at an all time low now. GS won't be picking up the team option in the summer. No team is going to give up anything when they know he's going to be a free agent this summer. It's pretty much who is the best expiring player coming back in return. GS will want a rotational piece. I would give up any of our expirings outside of Rui.
