Wow. Dominik Reyes really got robbed

xwolverine:
Leave story, NYK were never willing to trade with the Lakers to start with, remember the failed trade with the Pelicans for AD? The front office learnt from that experience and knew that whatever the offer from the Lakers would’ve been leaked to fück with the team’s chemistry. They rejected Kuz and Danny, only to trade him for a bag of chips from the Clippers.

So why the salaye? You traded all your picks for AD. Whose fault? They wanted Kuzma and Green or Kuzma and a pick (which you didn't have) so why are you complaining? Even if they preferred to deal with the Clippers. Why are you watching another team's pocket?

xwolverine:
Does it suck that we didn’t get Morris Sr.? Sure it does, feeling salty? Far from it. At the end of the day, it’s business, you win some you lose some.

I laugh at your lineup with Harell at the 5, AD, Dwight and Pierre will feast big time. Don’t worry about the Lakers, we’ll be good in the end, there will be players on the buy out market and with collison almost on the bag, we’re good.

Your two primary targets were Iggy and Morris and you whiffed on both! Your only option now is Collison who has been retired for a minute

Lool Dwight and AD will feast on who? Lmaooooooo aren't you 0-2 vs the Clips?

xwolverine:
Clippers came into the season the favs and was supposed to be this juggernaut team... Since then they have underperformed, and they snatched Marcus Morris so the Lakers wouldn’t have him & now want Reggie Jackson.

The Flippers has Lou, Shamet, PG, Beverly, Morris and they’re still insecure, how much help does Kawhi need?

I can sense the fear all the way from here. Why are you watching another man's pockets? They underperformed but they are still 2nd seed. And you know and are feverishly praying you don't meet them in the playoffs.

Face your team bruv. You guys tried to recruit Kawhi on a team with Bron and AD. You shouldn't be talking about anyone needing help

raumdeuter:
Did you see how useless he was today? Look at that last goal by Bender for example

The 3rd goal by Bailey instead of marking his man, he was pointing like a traffic warden

He thinks he is still at Bayern where other defenders will help him carry the defensive load while he gathers polling booth awards

airmark:
Is that the reason Boathand has turned to a wrestler on the field? Last time he slapped a Bayern colleague in training and now he nearly broke opponent's neck.

What does this have to do with Hummels's disasterclass every week?

airmark:
Why would a defender leave the ball and jump up to break his oponnent's cervical vertebra?

Boathand is senseless.

Why is Hummels led defense leaking goal like tap? Disaster class every 3 days. Kilode?

monerozi5590:
.Hazard has been more influential... Lol. SMH.


Where was Hazard when Bale bailed our asses against Villarreal.

Bale has 2 goals 2 assists but someone with 1 goal and 1 assist is more influential?

Continue ur epistle.

Walahi nothing Zidane no go see for Bernabeu. Score goal Hidden Hazard no fit score. Join Madrid turn to social media influencer.

Did Madrid pay £100m for blogger and social media influencer? I feel your pain bro

birdman:
Dantoni is not the issue. Morey feels like he is done, so he is going down swinging, and is about to take the franchise down with him. His biggest mistake was his trash talking China, which has cost the NBA about a quarter billion dollars already. To be frank, I had stopped watching Rockets games some weeks ago - I cant stand to watch the nonsense we put on the floor every night.

But D'Antoni is fully onboard. Make no mistake about it the roster is his brainchild. I think without an extension in hand he genuinely feels he has nothing to lose. Let them go out guns blazing

In my eyes keeping Capela was probably pointless since come playoff time he was never going to get enough minutes. The Rockets haven't been doing too badly, the worry is on nights the 3 don't fall your team is cooked

birdman:
Morey had a chance to curtail Harden when he had an issue with CP3 last season. But the fool with a phd can only see numbers. His emotional IQ is so low it cant be measured so here we are with a one man team. I wish someone would make him stand under the rim and get dunked on by a hundred midgets, until he grows some sense. But I can only hope.

Im not angry o, Im not angry

Everyone knows how I feel about Morey. We are in agreement here

Hummels serving his weekly disasterclass as usual.

Imagine Neymar and Mbappe running at Hummels and Akanji. Ohh the horror

xwolverine:
HotTakesExposed would feature this soon if it were a tweet. Morris Sr. was averaging 19 points on a poverty team and you guys want us to believe he’s the second coming of Kevin Garnet . Would he have been helpful if he signed for the Lakers? Absolutely, without any shred of a doubt, but the Flippers have basically four of the same player, a team made up of four wing defenders would get exposed by a well balanced team. Don’t get me started about PG13 and his perennial choking tendencies.

To me it looks like they’re stacking up in preparation to defend the Rockets and the Blazers, but they’ll struggle against any team that plays more patiently over a 7 game series. The likes of the 76ers, Bucks and Lakers with length would match up better.

This post is salty as hell. You wouldn't be dropping this salaye if he and the Knicks had chosen y'all

They don't have 4 of the same players. And if you say they do, kindly list them. He's a true PF that stretches the floor and is a body you can throw at AD and Bron, plus he can drag bigs out of the paint

I know Lakers fans are pained as hell.

Anyway this is what a potential closing lineup can look like come playoffs

Beverley- Williams- Kawhi-PG-Harrell

Williams-Kawhi-PG-Morris-Harrell

Lord have mercy

steady986:
Green and Kuzma for Morris, are they high?

Well you had no picks to offer bro. So they should sell themselves short because y'all are the Lakers?

No more Valverde to blame. Wonderful

smokers:
Lol Lebron don pack all the better players

Giannis don jogodo for the second year running

Giannis has to be unanimous MVP at this point

Why is Giannis such a terrible drafter? Abeg they should stop listing him as captain if na wetin him wan dey select be this

steady986:
Looking at what they took from the Clippers for him, I'd say they did it intentionally. It won't matter when we win the championship though.

Lmaoooo you're so funny. All you had to do was give them Kuzma but y'all wanted to eat your cake and have it. Why would Marcus Morris want to join the Lakers?

What Championship? Lmaooooooo you guys are getting waxed!!

Roland17:
The Sixers have to fire B. Brown, I have been saying this for over 2 seasons now. He can not get the best out of Embiid/ Simmons enough to compete for a championship. Both players have become too comfortable and the coaching staff are not holding them accountable!

Guy the problem pass just Brown.

As usual you have a Ben Simmons that doesn't know when to be aggressive and give the team what it needs any given night. You played 36 minutes took just 6 shots and ironically made 5 of them. Embiid took 26!! Made just 6. The question is why were you looking while your teammates took 26 while you're taking just 6

steady986:
Man f*ck the Knicks, and f*ck the Clippers. They hate the Lakers so bad they did the Morris trade just to spite us.

Lmaoooo you were expecting Marcus Morris? Based on belief? or based on logistics?

Why would he join a team with Rich Paul's clientele everywhere

aliondo:
He wasn't going to sign with us next season anyways

Might as well offload him now. Gallinari wasn't taking you guys anywhere anyway. Getting quality picks should be the priority. You're safely in the playoffs

FergieRaww:
So you’re using this team that faced Sociedad to make your point lol

Okay let’s watch and see

I'm not understanding. Are you saying City can't beat y'all?

Marcus Morris and Isaiah Thomas to the Clippers.
Lakers fans would be having sleepless nights rn

SmooshCHN:
Man
That's all we could get for D'Angelo Russell??
I don't even know if I should be angry we got Harrison Barnes v2.0 or be happy we happy we're getting picks and clearing Cap space for a serious F.A next season.

Haha see this guy oh. You got Wiggins and a couple of picks for D'Angelo Russell.

In my eyes you guys scammed Minnesota. If you take out Russell's passing I don't see what he does better than Wiggins

Lool this is the wackiest deadline I've seen in recent years.

Marcus Morris to the Clippers y'all.

Andre Drummond to wait for it....... The Cavs

Looks like Gallinari might be joining the Heat.

Where is larride? Shey I told you this Madrid is not sure. They are highly beatable if Pep gets his house in order

chic2pimp:
As I said He is definitely not the overall better player. Simply just a better shooter. Butler does everything else better

Simmons definitely NO, well not yet anyways. Embiid on the other hand I totally see it. The only thing that worries me about that dude is His fitness. If I were to ask you "Do you see the likes Giannis,Jokic,AD, Harden as No1 Guys in Championship winning teams?". If the answer is Yes, then I don't see why you can't include Embiid in that convo. Many people will continue to doubt those aforementioned players until they actually get it done.

No way are they going to play that Line up in the Playoffs vs Any other team but the bucks. They are simply asking for trouble if they did that. I do agree that they should not have signed Harris. Surround that duo with Shooters and a deep bench and the NBA would have a serious problem on their hands.

I don't see it in Harden, AD as #1 guys that can lead a team to a title. Even Embiid has not showed that yet in my eyes

I have a little more faith in Jokic and Giannis

Narrow escape yesterday. After 3-1 everybody go sleep

Seems Porzingis broke his nose.

Roland17:
You are right, you can’t have an even sail to a championship, in the same vein, you don’t want to rock the boat that everyone falls off the boat and that is what Butler is capable of doing to an already fragile situation.
Have you read what Al Horford said today? He said “We have some things going on in our locker room”. That comment buttresses my thoughts about the Sixers situation. B. Brown and the Sixers hierarchy know this and would only complicate things by adding another hot head in Butler.
The Minnesota situation was not merely about young players. Remember the off court issue between KAT/ Butler? Rumors of Butler bedding KAT’s girl? There was also a leadership issue because KAT refused to defer leadership and identity to Butler.

Well if Butler left and they are still having issues then what does that tell you? Maybe Butler wasn't the problem after all. Would be interesting to see how they navigate the playoffs from 6th seed considering the East is wide open

Elton Brand's a$$ would be on fire if they fail again this year

Minnesota is an unserious outfit from KAT to Wiggins, these guys are either just dropping empty calorie stats (in KATs case) or flat out being borderline busts (Wiggins) they just lost their 13th game in a row. Butler looks even more vindicated now

spillo1:
LMFAO....The Jumpman is already more popular than the NBA logo but still I don't support the change. People are just being prisoners of the moment, what happens when MJ passes away, Magic, Bird or Bill Russell etc Will the logo continuous be changed?

They didn't die at 41. Final MVP is already named after Russell. Bird is great but Bird is not Kobe. At all

Roland17:
I saw that last night. I would love to think it is a short term hire for the Olympics.

He's a big name. Let's hope his coaching lives up to his name. Perhaps he could help us recruit talent that would allow us compete and do much better than we did at the World Cup

I heard Mike Brown is the new D'Tigers coach. Very interesting hire. Can we afford him though?

chic2pimp:
Though unjustifiable, the Sixers probably reasoned Harris was a better shooter and was more likely to fit in as the No3 Cog in a Championship contending team. Buckets is a no2 Guy. For all the Drama that He brings,i'd happily play second fiddle to a Guy He truly respects.

Better shooter yes but not a sniper. Plus he's a sieve on defense and is a significantly inferior passer.

Butler is definitely not a #1 guy in a Championship winning team but can you say Embiid or Simmons is? Can you count on them to give you multiple buckets in close games?

I think they should have allowed Harris walk even if they didn't hold on to Butler and use that money to surround Embiid and Simmons with shooters. They low-key have a spacing problem pending when Richardson returns. The lineup of Horford and Embiid with Simmons would be interesting to watch come playoff time. Especially late in games

SmooshCHN:
Jordan Bell will most likely start as Center. PJ Tucker and Covington should lead the 2nd unit.

But I'm sure you're not surprised like nobody who knows basketball and the Houston Rockets is surprised by this move. It's as Houston as it can be.

Jordan Bell vs Jokic or Harrell or Porzingis? Ohh the horror.

Anyways Rockets fans would be silently praying for Morey to leave and D'ANTONI not to get an extension after another postseason collapse
