But if they'll entertain it, what would it take to get Simmons to LA? Like Ingram+Hart (Villanova dude)+picks?
We didn't get kuzma. We basically moved from 28 to 27th spot when kuzma wasn't even on anyone's radar. He was actually projected for second round.............We got Brook Lopez and Kyle Kuzma (draft pick) and essentially LBJ (cap space since we also included Mozgod)

Yet with that pick we drafted Kuz? So... we got Kuzma.We didn't get kuzma. We basically moved from 28 to 27th spot when kuzma wasn't even on anyone's radar. He was actually projected for second round.............
They blew it not willing to move Batum for Gasol.hornets definitely aren't making the playoffs btw so heat, magic, and wizards, there's a spot to go after

Err what size. Lin is quite big its made sense he surprisingly good in defense at 6'4lin and kemba were on the floor together a lot when he played with the hornets, worked really well. lin is a surprisingly good defender considering his size.

He would probably go 5th in a re-draft. KAT, Porzingis, Turner, and Booker would still likely go ahead of him.

I think a large part has to do with Levert being out.DLo putting up 19 a game on mostly average to slightly above average shooting numbers and people acting like he's the 2nd coming. He's a good player, but he's also a guard and plays next to no defense. He's taken a nice step this season in terms of consistency but pump the breaks a bit.
Myles Turner is simply a better, more impactful overall basketball player than D'Lo right now and has a skillset that would allow him to be a major contributor on a title contender in the modern NBA (elite rim protection + 40% from 3 is an ideal archetype for a modern center). D'Lo doesn't play much defense and there's still a real question whether he can be a good enough 1 or 2 offensive option for a real contender. If the latter isn't the case then his value is much more limited.Myles Turner? I don't think so. Turner is solid but doesn have the ability to take over games that D'Angelo does.
You can only keep Tobias or Jimmy.
Point is we didn't make the trade to specifically get kuzma. It was not Russell for kuzma.
Again, if they didn't make the trade they would have got Kuzma. The fact is the pick was used for kuzmaThey literally got Kuzma with the pick from Brooklyn. That's simply a fact when discussing that trade.
Thon had a sweet block, then got his mouth rocked. So much blood it looked like he had teeth missing, but I think just a split lip or whatever. Mouth guard saved them.
Maybe I spoke too soon.

Myles Turner is very awesome and underrated. But I dont think most suit head gonna obviously pick him over Dlo even if its totally justified.
Ibaka is still starting over Gasol. I don't know what else to say
It doesn't matter. Gasol is a much better player than Ibaka.
Gasol was not brought in to play 30+ minutes a night, especially in the regular season.
Good stats, awful team, awful record.How is Ayton doing this year? I never hear about him and I never watch the Suns
they are not using him to spread the floor which is a little weird since he is not a bad shooterHow is Ayton doing this year? I never hear about him and I never watch the Suns
Of course. I don't expect him to play over 30 minutes. Ibaka is not even averaging 30 a game.Gasol was not brought in to play 30+ minutes a night, especially in the regular season.
