Utah is gonna stay winless as Staples against the Lakers. I love the confidence, even in my non-biased view point, I just genuinely don't think the Lakers will be very good this season. People are sleeping on us coming into this season, we didn't make a ton of huge moves but we made a lot of sneaky good moves that made our team a lot more versatile.

Kip Smithers Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Apparently with these moves Nets are thinking about the Bucks? Lol that’s cute. Bucks are a fly on an elephants tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be pretty smart to make moves that put you in a position to beat the team that just knocked you out in the second round of the playoffs last year, then went on to win the title.

NYRaider Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I get that all of the big named players are "sexy" additions but the Bucks just won the title with Brook Lopez, Pat Connighton, PJ Tucker, and Bobby Portis as their primary role players.

But I'd assume the moves you've made definitely have been made with the Bucks in mind considering they beat you in the playoffs and won the title.

NYRaider Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 One thing I do like about the Nets moves is that between Okafor, Brown, Carter, Johnson, Thomas, Sharpe, and Doumbouya you have around $20M in salary you can move at the deadline if you need too to bring back that much salary in return. @Kip Smithers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Also why I think it was dumb for the Lakers to let Caruso walk in free agency. Could've packaged THT/Caruso at the ASB and used their salaries to match salaries for a trade at the deadline if needed. @TheRealMcCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nets no reason at all to worry or even care about what the Bucks did or doing. They’re focused on themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaVale McGee v2.0 They just need him to eat some regular season minutes by blocking a few shots, catching the ball at the rim, and rebounding the ball. He's gonna average like 18 MPG, and be okay. Same with Dwight. They just need bodies to do their job at the C position, because Anthony Davis will play there in crunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THT, Nunn, and Deng are the only non-big 3 Lakers making more then the minimum, lol. That's probably the last move. They'll keep roster spot 15 open for someone who gets bought out after the deadline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every team in the league is making roster moves with the champion in mind, you have to have the personnel to beat them. I liked the Patty Mills move but I'd say the rest of the moves you made were pretty meh. Aldridge and Millsap are both washed at this point, James Johnson, Jahlil Okafor, and Sekou Doumbouya are all non-factors. Carter is a decent defensive PG, just not sure how many minutes he gets with Mills, Harden, and Irving on the roster. Thomas could be a spark plug off the bench but he's a rookie and inefficient. And with all of the big men you added/have the Sharpe pick looks meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't there been reports that Marc Gasol might leave the team and play in Spain this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
