Sam Amick: The Lakers did a very puzzling thing today, and only time will tell if they pay a price for it in their pursuit of an 18th championship. When faced with the prospect of losing Alex Caruso, the 27-year-old guard whose Bird rights they carried and could thus pay whatever they wanted, they didn't put up any free-agency fight en route to him agreeing to a four-year, $37 million deal with Chicago. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Caruso's camp went back to the Lakers after the Bulls made their offer and were told that there would be no counter.

would've been cool to keep Tucker but yeah he's definitely a Miami kinda guy
― frogbs, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 01:57 (three years ago) link
devonte graham is....fine, but the pels sequence of transactions really doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

i don’t see how he helps them not be one of the five worst defensive teams in the league
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:07 (three years ago) link
he’s also a guy who wants to have the ball in his hands and is behind two all stars who will eat up a lot of possessions. but he can shoot so that’s one thing
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:08 (three years ago) link
they're going to be a really good offense and a horrific defense.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:10 (three years ago) link
no one talks about it but i think it's really, really hard to build a high-level team around zion
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:12 (three years ago) link
you need to pair him with a defensively minded 5 who can space the floor and theres not many of those
― micah, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:15 (three years ago) link
same problem you have with all bigs who cant shoot or defend. cc sabonis

The Pelicans have totally mangled the last two years and are fully on course to lose Zion some day, agent John Koktostin of @CAA tells @ringer.— Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) August 3, 2021

I honestly nearly forgot all about Zion
― frogbs, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:31 (three years ago) link
Caruso is one of the best defensive players in the league and the lakers have like 5 nba players right now so I find this very strange
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:33 (three years ago) link
anyway i don’t understand the zion/pelicans thing at all. like, they were the no 1 pick two years ago what are they supposed to be doing, in the western conference no less. if he didn’t want to go there he should’ve just forced a trade before the draft. they’re running around like a headless chicken because he thinks they’re supposed to win, which is impossible given where they are, and then is like, hmm this is bad. yeah no kidding!
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:35 (three years ago) link
I like the idea of trading a first rounder for devonte Graham if you’re a really good team and he’s under contract

I am perplexed by why the league let the bulls have a great offseason
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:37 (three years ago) link
pels are extremely cursed and have done themselves no favors. like they probably should have spun off all those young lakers players from the AD trade immediately and now they're losing ball for chicago flotsam and i don't think ingram has a super high standing at this point.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 02:39 (three years ago) link
my conclusion from the last two offseason is that rob pelinka is not a good GM and the lakers are not a well run organization

don't think i saw it here but normal powell staying in portland for $90/5, seems like a lot of money for a third undersized scoring guard!!!

rly coming to terms with the spurs being a mediocre franchise now. that collins signing is such an own goal. spurs twitter is in deep denial of how bad things have gotten.
looking rly likely that they will either sign john collins OR S&T demar derozan for lauri markkanen. i dont hate lauri at the right price, and collins wd be v good but also this team is sending rly strange signals.
― class project pat (m bison), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 03:49 (three years ago) link
if the spurs sign lauri that will officially be too many whites and a penalty will be assessed
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 04:00 (three years ago) link
it been a banner day for the whites at spurs hq today. drafted joe wieskamp (college white from iowa), signed mcbuckets (nickname white), collins (hurt white), and could pick up lauri (nordic white). they already have jak poeltl (teutonic white) which means IN THEORY they could have the first all-white lineup of the 21st century, p fucked up
― class project pat (m bison), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 04:06 (three years ago) link
spurs are really in no man’s land, like what would it take for them to win a playoff series with this current roster. still they had one of the greatest sustained runs in NBA history what’re ya gonna do
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 3 August 2021 05:25 (three years ago) link
guess the contract number hasn't come out yet but the wizards trading westbrook for some good role players and a pick they used to get aaron holiday and then signing spencer dinwiddie is a pretty good series of moves
