I like RoCo

What’s funny to me, is if there is one team in the league that is so top heavy that it really should consider trading away one of their stars for quality rotation players…. it’s the Lakers.

'grats to RoCo for his literally historic night. The game was insane to watch - it looked like an All-Star game lol. The FO needs to figure out a way to keep RoCo and Batum this Summer. I don't wanna splash cold water on the good vibes that are clearly overflowing from the current locker room, but I hope the FO can find a consolidating trade for a disgruntled star or at least someone at a position of need (e.g. traditional/rebounding PF, playmaking PG, hyper athletic big, etc.) - but there'll be plenty of time to dig into that after the season's over. Let's just enjoy the ride while we can

Sigh...in retrospect I'm convinced we get a ring in the bubble if Doc just didn't force Trez against Jokic, and/or last year if Kawhi doesn't get Jingled. But at least I'm optimistic about the future

"turn like 2 or 3 even 4 of these guys into another near star level player, but not sure who is out there" *glances at Utah's direction

Man, watching the 76er fans hating Doc Rivers fills me up with so much joy, knowing now that we have a great coach in ty lue. God, firing Doc saved our championship window in retrosepect

Deadspin mocks Doc’s “coaching” of the struggling 76ers:
https://deadspin.com/doc-rivers-needs-more-than-motivational-tactics-to-get-1848739495

Best line:
“The coach’s offensive system is seemingly just barking about teamwork and ball movement, while putting the onus on his players to figure out how they’re supposed to work together and move the ball with purpose as opposed to just hot potato-ing it around the perimeter.”

Sound familiar?

If any NBA front office can pull off a clever and complex consolidation trade it’s Lawrence Frank and friends. In the meantime it’s an embarrassment of riches.

As I said recently, I give tons of credit to these guys and wonder if this RoCo performance gives TL any pause as to who is the better bet to get more minutes between RoCo or Mook?
Another guy that I watched closely last nite was XMoon. I was advocating for YFarell but X was solid last nite. Not a bad line: 7 – 2 – 4, hit his 3 and with ZERO TO’s. Really solid handle, passing and seemed very poised. Think his recent G league helped, like his steadiness. I’d hang onto him for POs over Hood if that’s doable.
Sunday’s game vs. Pellies could be a play-in preview. Wonder if TL will show his cards or hold something back???

Luxury problem. Can’t have too much depth, ever, with this grueling NBA skedge and a sprained ankle (or worse) ready to happen after every leap. But, for these guys, it’s a better bet than football or boxing.
