Looks like Vucevic stays with the bulls now given Jimmy has made his way to the Warriors

Main thing is, Miami is rid of him. What a soap opera it’s been. Massive from GSW to give Butler a 2 year $121M extension up front, I guess it’s the only way that he’d have agreed to go there. He’s got his way, again, but the way he goes about it is not all that appealing…

Chicago re-sign Lonzo Ball through to 2026-27.

at least the vision is now clear. No more two timelines.
If no good by end of 2027, its done. Steph, Dray and Jimmy all off the books and end of 2027.

Brandon Ingram traded to the Raptors. Didn’t see that one coming!

There has to be another Pelicans trade coming.
They are so close to the salary cap. If they drop around $1mil of salary they then get a share of the money from other teams over the cap which could be around $20mil.
I’m not sure if buying players out will affect the salary cap.

Dalton Knecht traded to Charlotte.

Young players don’t last long in a LeBron team do they?

Would have thought Knect was a great foil for LBJ. Seems a large price for Williams

JIMMY BRINGS BUCKETS!!

Good move to get rid of Wiggins.

It’s a large price to pay for a centre. His stats are okay, but he can be exposed against the best centres. Nothing like Kessler.

After getting Luka relatively cheaply, we’re back to over paying in trades.

Reaves won’t be traded. Rui has no value.
We have nothing else of value to trade.

Knecht is the same age as Williams.

Bloody hell. Peterson just traded out Richards, so Williams gone leaves a 2-way player - the very valiant Moussa Diabatê - as our (stupidly undersized) centre!

It seems we’re in full Cooper Flag mode now, largely due to an horrendous injury run , but this feels like a shift in outlook from the hierarchy. Finish low, accumulate every first round pick you can get , hope for luck in the lottery, reset around Ball and Miller next season ( hopefully).

I’m not pleased to see Williams go. If you’re a Lakers fan, be aware that injuries have reduced Williams to what he’s currently showing. Get him fit and he can be a very agile and mobile shot blocker / roamer, even if he is never the big super physical centre.

Knecht was mentioned many times as a possibility for Charlotte in the last draft. He might bring some shooting ability for a squad that lacks it. But goodness me, we are tiny now.

Pelinca is killing it.

The lack of games worries me.
We may as well have gotten Williams from from Portland. But he’s far more expensive.

The only positive is we sent out more $ than we got back.
So if we do a Kleiber move, we could get under the salary cap and get someone in the buy out market. But we’d need to add picks for that kind of trade.
