Pistons coach Dwane Casey was asked about the Lakers prior to tonight’s matchup vs. his Pistons: “This is one of the best teams I’ve seen in a long time.” He called LAL a complete team that’s versatile and explosive
Second time this season I hear a quote like this. I forgot who said something similar earlier this season, maybe Scott Brooks?
Inflated praise, but we can get there with a legit 2nd playmaker and defensive wing/3 point shooter.

On Access Sportsnet there was talk of a Kuzma trade. I think it's just talk. Kuz only makes $2 million. To get a high priced star they would have to make salary compensations. That would mean 2 maybe 3 players. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

To get a high priced star they'd need to include Danny Green … which isn't really a hard sell considering he's shooting 9% less on 3 pointers than he was last year.
So for example, Kuz + Green for Lavine. I dunno if that moves the needle considerably this year, we only have 3 three point shooters and we gave away 2 of them to get 1 back, but he's a young star who's one of only 3 people in the history of the game to shoot 13 threes a game. So pair him with AD for a decade and I think the long term implications means if such a trade was available … it's very tempting to go for it.

But why does a Chicago do that trade? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Considerable friction between the Coach and Lavine.
But if that trade ever happens Bulls fans will fire Boylen into the sun.

They Don't.
There is no trade out there where we send out Kuz and get back a player who can help up win a ring without decimating our roster. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."
