They want to add a 3rd all star and put Kuzma on the table, but seems like no team is willing to take the bait and trade their star player to Lakers.

Nor should they for Kuzma and change.

Unbelievable. No chance anyone comes close to putting that down for Simmons. Doc and Embiid have made crystal clear how much they value Ben Simmons.

Good luck shipping him out, front office overvaluing him while everybody knows the guy canā€™t shoot.

But thatā€™s the point/issue. If he learns how to shoot, weā€™re talking about one of the best players in the NBA. You donā€™t want to give that up for less.

who improved his shooting at this age in the past?

LeBron James. In his early Miami days teams were still backing off and daring him too shoot.

I would still do the same if playing against him :wenger:

He was a decent shooter and improved a bit, but still not a prolific and deadliest shooter that you are scared of.
Ben Simmons is a terrible shooter and if he does improve, will be an okay or decent shooter.

And another one. The absolute chops on Morey lol

Rumour:
SGA goes to Philly. Simmons to Cleveland. OKC get the 3rd pick.

SGA is a solid player, what does OKC want to do with draft picks, donā€™t they have enough already.

I know thatā€™s a lot but the Warriors with Klay, Steph and Simmons are a contender.

Would this send The Wizards into rebuild mode, therefore making Beal available?

Simmons and Draymond sounds ugly. Not a fan.

Feels like the lakers are panicking a little. Great roster if not for injuries

Westbrook, Bron, ADā€¦Caruso + a center? The spacing sounds atrocious.

Theyā€™d probably be the best rebounding team ever, purely on numbers. The amount of opportunities off those bricked threesā€¦:thinking:

Itā€™s gunna end in tears with zero shooters

Maybe the cheap vets are lining up to sign with the Lakers for the wacky ride :thinking:

Buddy Hield is a shooter. Iā€™d take Westbrook for sure if I was the Lakers thatā€™s giving up pittance.

@Flexo if warriors got Simmons Iā€™d trade Draymond Green, Simmons does all the things Draymond does but at a higher level and is younger.

Itā€™s either Westbrook or Hield for trade no?

Who was our big 3 point shooter when we won the title last summer? We shot 35% from 3, which is average as best. The Lakers were monsters on defense in the paint and rebounded and ran everyone into the ground with our transition game. KCP hit some timely shots and so did Rondo of all ppl (historically bad shooter). We can find some shooting on the FA market we will be fine.

Steph Curry wants to play with Draymond. Steph is entering a contract year. If GSW want to keep him, theyā€™ll have to keep the the core together.
