Getting Knecht back isn’t terrible even if it isn’t the pressing need

Another shooter around Luka/LeBron is never a bad thing

I think Mo Bamba would be a possibility even as a 1st apron team?

Yeah - this one smarts a bit in terms of present roster construction.

But like I said a little bit earlier in this thread - he was NOTICEABLY less athletic this year. Something was amiss.

If you wanna see a player with an awful bball iq...Mo Bamba would be at the top of the list.

Think it's gotta be Bamba at this point for the shot blocking. Theis is also there too, who at least has the experience playing on a contender.

Bamba ranked out defensively the best of his career this year at least by this metric. Still may have something left to give.

Pelinka is a very good GM, but yesterday he made a serious mistake by cancelling the Mark Williams trade. Since the trade deadline has already passed, Pelinka should buy out/waive Kleber or Reddish, and then try to sign Mo Bamba, before some other team signs him.

Not if his feet are as screwed up as the rumors are suggesting. That would explain his relative lack of athleticism since he came back and would mean that he'd remain a defensive liability against the very sort of players he was acquired to defend.

I imagine the Lakers saw something in the physical that suggested he wouldn't be able to play effectively in the NBA longterm (and Williams having a serious issue is the biggest indicator as to why Charlotte even wanted to deal him in the first place; otherwise they absolutely shouldn't have been making that trade given where their franchise is).

Not sure you can criticize Pelinka for shutting it down.

So is this game just not on TV?

Supposed to be on espn.

Bottom corner of my screen says Baylor vs Houston continues on the other ESPN channels.

So I’m guessing they're switching soon.

Sassy Squatch 02-10-2025 09:40 PM

Finally did.

DJ's left nut 02-10-2025 10:18 PM

Can't say I've seen the Jazz play this year.

I haven't missed much.

These guys suck. The Lakers aren't even playing terribly well and are on pace to score about 150.

KC_Connection 02-10-2025 10:19 PM

There's no stopping this team. Championship bound.
