Since we are hard capped, we can’t take more salaries. I don’t think you can get any good player for the current salary Kuz is making, even if we want to trade him, it would be in the off season.
Also We CAN NOT sign McGee if he gets cut by the cavs, and we CAN NOT even trade for him with the cavs. The only way we can get him back is him being traded to another team and then gets cut |

I like Myles turner more if we have to trade Kuz . He is the real rim protector. |

Indiana hangs up if we offered them Kuzma for Turner.
Indiana was actually playing well this year as well. With Sabonis and Turner's play we'll see if LeVert can be who a lot of people felt he could've been before his injuries in Michigan. The Pacers definitely look like a playoff team.

Turner rumors are floating every year. I am talking about next off season, not this one. 12 points 7 rebound doesn’t really scream all star. Maybe we will work something out. |

Why does Indy need another wing more than a rim protector? |

Pretty sure I've read that McGee is not that good and useless in the playoffs.
Why worry? Lakers have Gasol, Harrell and Davis. With defensive stats to prove it.
At least that is what I have read constantly around here. |
McGee was unplayable for the Lakers beyond the first round, and he wasn’t that good in the first round. I don’t get why people are pining for him. He was fine, but mostly because he was a great chemistry guy and teammate, not for anything he did on the floor. He could block shots, but he was a bad defender because that was pretty much his only defensive skill. |
If McGee is willing to come and soak up 10 min/game over the season in order to rest/protect Gasol/AD then he'll be a very useful asset. I expect that the playoffs will really only feature AD/Gasol and perhaps a bit of Trezz and not any other 5 (McGee or whomever) we acquire. |

In a statement, LeVert says: “We are grateful for their extreme thoroughness during the physical process and I am looking forward to joining the team and being part of this great organization as soon as possible." |

I guess that doesn’t void the Harden trade?

It was technically announced as a 4-team trade, so in theory, if the Pacers wanted to cause a stink, I bet they could have. However, I'm guessing they are satisfied with the deal anyway, as they know they were going to lose Oladipo for nothing (he reportedly turned down their $25MM per year extension offer), and they probably think they can't do better than getting LeVert through '23, even if he happens to miss the rest of this season. |

| The NBA is a relationship business. Guys like Ainge would create a problem to extort extra compensation. Makes it harder on you down the line. |

Man, the Nets interior defense is atrocious.. I'm looking forward to there games against the 76ers and Bucks to see how they play elite bigs.
They better hope there big 3 and Harris are scorching hot the entire Playoffs because teams are going to be abusing them inside (and everywhere else really). No doubt they are going to have some extremely explosive offensive nights though with all the 3 point shooting but when that's not falling it could be a polar opposite look real quick.
Harden, Durant and Harris all playing great tonight while only being up by 3 against the Magic. |

When the Warriors had that dynasty there was an air of inevitability around them.
Next year when Brooklyn can build around these three they may get that but I feel Brooklyn is extremely beatable.
Kyrie slots back in as well which makes their defense worse. |

| KD has answered the question. He is indeed the KD prior to injury. This is going to be a tough finals. I'll be pulling for Boston if it comes to it. LOL! |

Not in a 7 game series against the Lakers. Kyrie will D-up, he always D-up on the big stages. It would be one thing if he was incapable of playing good D, but that's not the case... he plays good D when he wants to. |

Kyrie? No he doesn't. He's small and makes boneheaded decisions on defense half the time when he "tries" trying to make up for his physical limitations.
He's a younger Lou Williams on defense. He'll be abused come playoff time. |

"Pulling for Boston?"
That's like picking the winner of a fight to the death between two lawyers...

I hope that'll prove to be the case but I disagree. When Kyrie is engaged, he can be at worst an adequate defender. |

So rumor has it that Miami is trying to find a way to get Bradley Beal from Washington. We'll see what that would do.
