Lakers know Pistons will match any offer. No point in wasting time with Duren.

This past finals have teams all scrambling to get bigs. Never seen the big market go so fast.

Y’all keep saying that but Kessler is an absolute game changer. Hes the best human rim protecter on the planet in my opinion.




i would have liked to see how that works in the playoffs before giving him that massive contract. Gobert routinely sucks arse in the playoffs. Bad matchups can take a C like Gobert and Kessler completely out of a series.

Cannot believe the Lakers gave up that much to get Kessler, then gave him that ridiculous contract.

And you're playing 4 on 5 when hes on offense. And hes got injury issues out the arse.

Giving non scoring bigs 9 figure deals doesnt work. Won't work.

I think its an awful deal, but to see if someone can do well in the playoffs you have to make the playoffs

And he can help a team like the Lakers, in theory make it

It's definitely a response to match up with Wemby and OKC rotation.

think having a guy like Luka on his team will improve his scoring/lob threat ability.

They're probably going to be hard capped with no picks every other year.

Pels have made it clear... overpay for one of the players on roster or running it back. Then making a decision mid season to add, switch, or blow it up.

Personally, no issue with it. Better than overpaying for players or selling low.

Honestly, under Jaylen Brown gets moved or Boston officially takes him off the market, I'm not positive that Dumars/Weavers aren't in those discussions in some manner.

Apparently we’re talking to the pistons according to McNamara. They’ve offered 3 first round picks, Levert, and holland for Trey as of yesterday

He's certainly back to posting a lot. Including that multiple teams have offered multiple picks but we are still sitting back.
