Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I wouldn’t be overly shocked if CP3 spends next year with the Lakers. He has apparently turned dow his extension with Phoenix and wants a 3 year 100 million deal, but his options for that are surely limited. Knicks aside I can’t think of many teams who might offer him that other than shit markets, could see him possibly taking a year deal looking for a ring at the Lakers, would be a smooth fit for both sides They were close to getting Lowry, could easily get off Schroder, Matthews and KCP quite quick and find a lot of salary, fits with their time line for the pending reboot post LBJ - that 3 of Lebron, AD and CP3 v the Nets would also be absolute cash Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Paul is hugely interested in chasing rings now and is content to get as big a contract as he can. Could he end up at the Knicks leading their young core? Always a chance he returns to NO if they don't keep Lonzo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP isn’t “that” injury prone during the regular season yet, the injury he has just now was also just very unfortunate rather than age related as such. It’s sort of all the Lakers have at the moment given they are on the Lebron timeline, that option being, take the best they can now rather than that much future planning, they are going to have to run that for another year...which will then likely put them pretty close to the Zion timeline once they get off Lebron the idea of a year with Lebron for CP3 - can see why that would offer appeal. its a pretty poor free agency this off season not really many long term pieces who can also help someone like LA win now, most options are likely going to have a risk Lowry, Olodipo etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely see the appeal for it but with Lebron. Think the Knicks is a likely destination for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see it, think the Heat were probably being cute with the idea of getting him at a reduced rate next season/or hoped he stayed fit and changed their year, he’s a gamble for anyone giving him money Lowry will get a decent contract aye.

He's a cock I think Vogel may have told him he's benched tonight and he's thrown his toys out the pram I would like to see us go: Caruso, KCP, Bron, Kuz and AD at the 5 (if he can play) otherwise that team with Drummond at the 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Very disappointing end to a very disappointing season with injuries costing us big-time. The extended period of rest for LeBron and AD should hopefully mean next season they are both more resilient. Huge off-season for Pelinka to get right. Think we might have seen the last of Kuz last night Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think we have the pieces for that tbh. A trade is going to have to involve a Sign & Trade with Schroder + THT + our only draft pick (I think we have a mid-20s 1st round pick this year). I'd like us to try to bring in Otto Porter Jr and Lowry (if he takes a huge paycut). We were obviously keen to trade for Lowry but walked away after the Raptors demanded we include THT (and at the time we thought Schroder would be our '3rd star') SuperLeeMcCulloch 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Steven A is class to listen too and he’s funny but his rumours aren’t credible - no way do KAT or Drey go to Portland LA just don’t have enough to get Dame Knicks. I would drown in my own spunk if he did, he won’t - again they don’t have enough Miami - Butler, Hero and some kind of pick - that puts a bit of a Dame and Bam timeline, and Portland aren’t “wrecked” - that’s the most maybe of all *I love Dame, I have 3 tops with his name. He’s my favourite player. I want him to work in Portland but it’s not going too and he needs better than this roster, it’s shit - he’s the player I want to win something more than any other Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,330 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Bucks and Nets just about to start should be an absolute classic series, Bucks will absolutely murder them on the boards so be interesting to see what the Nets do to counter that.

Hammered them on the offensive boards but the Nets killed them with the 3 ball and just general fight and momentum. The Bucks shot 20% from 3 and less than 60% from the line. They can kiss this series goodbye if they don't sort that out because the Nets will murder them. I've wanted either the Bucks or Sixers to win a championship for a few seasons now, but I also love Blake Griffin (and KD) and I'd love to see Blake retire with a ring. Ultimately I just want a good series because this has the potential to be the series of the entire playoffs. SuperLeeMcCulloch 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
