He can’t move. Has no offensive skill set. He’s just a strong big who can’t block shots and dunk. Nothing special. Adams is an average rebounder and just an okay shot blocker.

I'm just helping you out lol. This isn't like me criticizing your tendency to state the obvious or copy/past tweets instead of just posting the link which embeds by itself. And, we have no idea, but there is probably interest on both DeMar and the Laker's part. It just comes down to what we are willing to give him. I don't think we do a S&T and hard cap ourselves for something between 15-20 million. Maybe we hard cap ourselves if he's willing to take the full MLE for 9.5. The hope would be he takes the tax payer MLE which doesn't hard cap us, but that is a dream scenario that DeMar would have to be willing to take a big loss on pay for a year to ring chase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis, DeMar, LeBron, Kuzma, and AD. Spacing would set back the sport 60 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I don’t really understand what the Grizzlies got out of that trade? Losing Jonas for moving up just 7 spots plus you have to take on those two contracts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you even bother responding when all you do is troll me? You're wasting both our times with that stuff. Thanks for the actual response to my question. Have a nice day!

TheRealMcCoy Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Bigger thing with DeRozan and the Mavs is more defense than anything. @NYRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams is only on a 2 year deal, so while a downgrade from Jonas, it's not a long-term commitment and Jonas is going to get paid next off-season. Bledsoe's deal could actually prove to be a pretty valuable trade chip for them because it's essentially an expiring deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they can potentially package those picks to get something of value with Bledsoe's expiring deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
