@Dwight Howard loses. Again. Seems like every player he stans/defends backfires on him.

:picard:
How is this a backfire?..it will backfire on the lakers when they strike out in FA again. Just look at the DLo trade. Gave away a 20/5/5 player for a year of Lopez. If anything it makes the FO look stupid. Randle trying to get paid so it makes sense they would trade him for their unrealistic 2 FA plan, but what does trading Clarkson or Nance accomplish when Deng is still on roster and unmovable?

This. This team ain't in no position to be trading away young just for a pipe dream of signing LeBron or the 2 max FA plan.

The Lakers and Deng haven't discussed a buyout since late November, but he can simply wait until the season is over to get the full balance of the $37 million owed to him once the Lakers inevitably use the waive and stretch provision to clear salary-cap space. How could the Lakers avoid Deng's money languishing on the cap for six years with the waive and stretch? Well, Deng would have to be so desperate to leave Los Angeles before season's end to sign elsewhere on a minimum deal that he'd forfeit the $18.8 million on the 2019-20 season of his contract and accept a buyout. That makes little sense, getting just a half-season of freedom to likely play only a few minutes per game elsewhere.

Atlanta is pushing to unload veterans and gather more draft picks and young players. Bazemore, Ersan Ilyasova and Marco Belinelli are expendable.

The Bulls are still planning to trade forward Nikola Mirotic, which can't happen until Jan. 15 or without his permission, based on his contract. Mirotic has been intrigued with the Utah Jazz, whose coach, Quin Snyder, has a reputation for maximizing offensive talent.

Memphis wants to find a first-round pick for Tyreke Evans, but that is likely to prove difficult. The Grizzlies have missed in several drafts on first-rounders, including the waiving of 2015 No. 17 pick Wade Baldwin, and need to replenish their stock of picks. As a rental on an expiring deal, it is hard to imagine Evans delivering that kind of a return.
i hope he gets the full bread

damn shame what thibs n the medical staff did to him
