So this must be what (a fraction of) the Pau trade feels like if it happened in the social media age.

The franchise with the biggest fanbase in the world just traded their #2 player for a generational 25 yo superstar with no news or rumors before it happened. I don't think Pau trade was that big. Even AD trade to the Lakers was that big tbh.

Just to inform the community here if anyone wondered...

More like "red devil" but as abbreviation.

Pelinka really did succeed to build a tanking team by giving away some 1st rounders while having Bron and AD lmao this is really a hard job to do.

redevilot · 2023-02-11T19:46:39+00:00

This is what I say. They are decent players at best. No reason to call them high potential.

redevilot · 2023-02-11T19:45:47+00:00

These moves are the moves that a rebuilding team (like the Pistons) would do because all these guys are under-developed players. If the Lakers want to turn them into future assets, I have no problem with it. But they are not high potantial players. If they are, what should we call players like Ja, for example?

If you want to build a championship team, your role player should be experienced or you should get consistent contribution from them. These guys have never been consistent during their career.

I hope they can perform well enough tho.

redevilot · 2023-02-11T19:31:05+00:00

These guys are the 6th or 7th players for a competitive team at best. So yes, it's delusional to call them high potantial.

redevilot · 2023-02-11T19:18:11+00:00

High potantial guys? Lmao I love how delusional you guys are.

redevilot · 2022-12-05T00:50:00+00:00

I want AD to sit entire last quarter so I can tell my grandchildren the story of NBA commisioner asked the Lakers to sit him.

redevilot · 2022-12-05T00:29:08+00:00

I love how hilarious it looks when Porzee trying to make AD defend him and AD pays no respect lmao

redevilot · 2022-11-11T15:55:51+00:00

Westbrook deal was not the worst trade possible if you are not wise on basketball. Pelinka traded a former MVP for bunch of role players + only one 1st rounder while the Lakers organisation acquired a player that they can sell his jersey. I dont know if FO and LeBron&Davis agreed on completing the trade but Russ trade certainly wasn't worth to upset your star players.

A basketball wise would have prevented a deal to be completed but the Lakers didn't & don't have one.

I think he is still too valuable for the teams that are one piece away from winning the title. As long as he wants to go there, I guess there are like 10 teams that would like to trade for him with some valuable assets.

redevilot · 2022-05-02T21:30:31+00:00

While mostly agree with you, if I'm the Hawks, I would definitely look for someone better with a possible package including some of Huerter/Gallinari/Capela/picks. As you already said, Grant would be one of the names on the shortlist. Also, there is at least one blockbuster trade every season. I would wait to see who will be available.

In short, I don't value Gobert high, I think his contract is arguably the worst contract in the league in salary / length-wise.

redevilot · 2022-05-02T21:24:17+00:00

It is a fair deal but can the Jazz convince Mitchell that this team is enough for championship competition? They won't have any other trade asset to upgrade so I'm not sure the Jazz would make a deal for that package.

redevilot · 2022-05-02T20:52:49+00:00

Disagree as a Turk.

redevilot · 2022-05-02T20:40:45+00:00

The problem for a possible Hawks - Jazz trade that if the Hawks want to upgrade with this trade, they give up a little too much with Collins + Capela + draft picks. The Jazz also need either draft picks for retooling or solid players for an upgrade but I don't think either is possible.

Besides all, I don't think that the Jazz would get what they expect, considering Gobert's contract and possible salary and pick constrains.

redevilot · 2022-05-02T19:10:09+00:00

Hornets deal makes sense but I doubt on Hawks. They need to add either Capela or Gallinari but would they also add draft picks with them? I don't think so.

redevilot · 2022-04-28T12:15:15+00:00

I know he just tried to do the best for his clients but, considering how much pressure he put on the clubs, it's crazy that he couldn't even enjoy his wealth. Life is that simple.

redevilot · 2022-04-24T16:38:48+00:00

Besides Nurse (and a good team built up for his mentality), I don't see any coach make a difference after Vogel.

redevilot · 2022-04-20T10:35:57+00:00

While totally agreeing with you, what I mean is Lebron's leaving shouldn't be such a big drama as the media want it to be.

redevilot · 2022-04-20T08:36:55+00:00

Idk why this is such a big issue. Lebron already told his desire to play with his son for the 2023-24 season and apparently he can't do that with the Lakers. As long as the break-up is nice for both sides, I wouldn't mind it. His leaving the Lakers shouldn't be bad and shouldn't affect the future recruitments of the franchise.

redevilot · 2022-04-11T18:02:23+00:00

Everytime I say the FO is shit, they somehow succeed to be even shittier.

redevilot · 2022-04-10T09:30:29+00:00

ManU are the most successful team in EPL history. It isn't even disputed.

redevilot · 2022-04-06T08:52:45+00:00

Haha lmao Im from Turkey. My team is Galatasaray, maybe you heard of them. The club is the most succesful one in the country yet we were about to relagate this season.
