So now the rumors are that the Spurs want Ingram, Kuzma, Josh Hart, 2 first round picks, and 2 pick swaps. And apparently the Staples Center as well.

Lakers should just wait until next year and sign him as a free agent.

There's no harm in wanting.

This x100. Even if the Lakers acquired him, they aren't beating Golden State this year.

One thing that has to be a little sobering for Lebron is that it is very possible that he might never make it back to the finals. At least in the East he had been pretty much guaranteed to make it. I realize they are lining things up for next free agency but some of the guys they leaped at signing were past their prime 3 years ago.

And they are all on 1 year deals. None of them will be re-signed. They will be used as trade bait at the deadline.

That’ll be hilarious. He is not good. But everyone will cream their pants about it.

He sucks. I'd laugh when I'd hear people here locally say they wouldn't even want him on a vet minimum.

There used to be a debate that Melo was better than Lebron.  Think about that one.

I think his high end is a Jamal Crawford role with Clippers, but don’t think he’ll even muster that.

Has anyone ever been nearly as bad as Trae Young in the summer league and then go on to be decent in the NBA?

All I saw was that he shot bad in the last game and got into a scuffle Allen.

Assuming he sucked in every game?

I’ve seen like 3/16, 4/18 shooting with bad defense and keeps getting blocked....like NBA players are more athletic or something

Just saw Magic summer league stats...Mo Bamba was solid but also noticed his back up’s back up is Byron Mullens holding on for last ditch effort of making it back at age 29. Big 5 min, 2 pt, 3rb, ast, block. He’ll likely never make it back and his window was 6-8 years ago to work hard...he never did then but certainly is now. Big flop battling at least. Could’ve been set but got married instead.

That is crazy to me. Pop was over the top classy in his statements.

I wouldn't say worse team, but I would say worse position in his respective division.  However, skating to the finals is no longer a guarantee in the east.
