32.5 for Kessler is fine. You worry about the draft picks after
Luka is past his prime but man oh man Kessler looked like a beast to start last season.

Luka is 27 yrs old. Past his prime?? yeah right

fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

He may not have even peaked yet if he stays committed to his conditioning

Luka is a special player that still requires the right mix of players around him to get it done, but I would never bank on him not being in the mix if he has good players around him

The draft picks they traded are 5 and 7 years from now. No clue what Luka will look like then. He could be amazing or out of shape if lakers have some losing seasons or he could have moved on. I’m fine with the deal but it could hurt them by 2033.

None of these moves are making teams better than the Nets.

Still stunned by the Celts. There’s an untold story is my guess, eg., toxic locker room or something

All the new centers from draft and trades something will shake free. Eg kornet (ex Knick) might shake free

I hve my eye more on guys like diabate (sp?) in charlotte

Not only is Luka still young his game is such he should be able to still play at an elite level into his late 30’s barring a fluke injury. He’s a point forward with a wide base and uses his center of gravity to post up back to the basket and drive. He doesn’t need to be the fastest guy on the floor to be effective

No thought that Brown is kind of difficult behind the scenes?
Other than Brown getting the MVP of finals what is there to be jealous?

The two picks and swaps was similar to what Clippers paid for PG13 when them moved the picks plus SGA.
Granted, SGA turned out to be THE difference. I read some reference that Lakers needed to over pay but again Ainge wins the battle (No the war yet).

We talking Kessler, a dude coming off a bad injury. Personally I think he a hell of a player and good fit on LA. But dayum!

Seems to be a run on centers currently. Feels a lot like 2024 when we traded for KAT - teams locking up Centers early.
You know I gonna spin wit it

Maybe Ayton shakes loose in Los Angeles? They committed big money to Kessler and the guy from Toronto whose name I'm not going to attempt to write. Dadiet ＋ Kolek or McBride works as a trade.

Ayton has had his ups and downs as a player but was solid if not spectacular last year. Maybe he and Mikal are buddies from back in the day.
