The Bigfooty Week 25 thread. The Lakers have made the post season!

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Sounds like Cuban made the call to give up and not Kidd too.

No chance Kidd survives

Its still fricken weird. Why try for 2 weeks when you didn’t want to get in the playin to begin with? Should have shut it down weeks ago

Give up limited assets for win now moves in Wood that doesn’t really move the needle and Kyrie just to try and rank the season away… you have to at least ****ing try when you have Luka

It was also Slovenian night in Dallas. LOL

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

We all agree the Philly Nets series is going to be very quick, yes ?

If Mikal keeps shooting like he has in recent games it sure will be. 1/12 from 3 today

 

[hotchilli]

Xavier Cooks playing well for wizards

Bit of a joke in terms of the players out injured on both teams.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

I don't get the criticism of Morey in Philly, I really don't. In effect he inherited three albatross contracts.

Also if I had a choice between load management or screwing up the Lakers' season, I wouldn't need to think about it. Have a word to your boys, Look2Me4Guidance

Lakers winning today after losing their last one. a 500 team.

 

[Memphis]

If is to ask out where does he go that best suits him?

New York Knicks for sure

Could put a good package built around Quickley, Barret, Toppin and some picks

Doncic
Brunson
Grimes
Randle
Robinson

Looks good to me

Good package?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Gut feel is Dallas are made a example of and lose their draft pick as a result. Unlike any other tank job we have previously seen, this was done against the will of the players and the coaches by a non-basketball part of the franchise

My prediction as a punishment is losing 2023 first round pick and a 7 figure fine

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Dont think any other team Luka would entertain going too hold as many first round picks as New York. Also think those players are young and in the right age they want. Once Luka goes its Tank City so Toppin/Barrett/Quickley who all have 5 years til their primes fit the bill

Typical NBA picking and choosing, The Thunder were blatant with it last year, Portland have given up on the year 2 years in a row.

Toppin is okay but nothing great and Barrett is not a great asset, i like Quickley but he is not the centre piece of a Luka trade. Look at what People saying KD would be the biggest haul of all time. At Lukas age with his ability it would have to be a bigger trade.

I think Dallas will want those millions of picks as opposed to players

I think 6 1st rounders in my deal type situation

The picks they have aren't even very good, they have protections on them. I would much rather get a young player of note and a ton of picks. He will get offers that good.

 

[peternorth]

All star game in Sota?

 

[peternorth]

Jokic needed a handful of points for another triple double as the Jazz got up in denver

But having Luka basically means you won't be getting any top 10 picks. At least with a Durant trade you can assume that there's a chance of getting good picks with Durant being mid 30s and Paul almost retired.

Good point to be honest.

I mean what are the alternatives really though ? No one else besides Houston or OKC have then draft picks available

Cavs

Phoenix obviously going to tank tomorrow to get LAC first round over the GSW

They'd want to be some good ****ing picks...

Yeah neither of those sides threw game 81 to keep their protected pick, despite still being able to make the playoffs. That's quite a bit different to just being a poor team.

Portland literally sat Dame for a few weeks to get a bigger pick and pulled Shaedon for the second half of a game because he was playing too well. You are right it is different… one team tanked a single game, the others tanked for weeks
