Who knows maybe they are intentionally tanking his value because no one wants to give up all star price for him they aint tryna figure out how to get him to mesh with this team anymore he's just in the way and is being shopped around

that makes no sense tho

if the workload is too much for him - lower it so he doesn't stay hurt all the time. if he stays getting hurt, the value is straight up lower than whatever GM bargaining shadow games people are trying to speak into existence.

also who ever said "they can't get him to mesh" is talking square out their ass



I want him traded more than most in Charlotte because he just can't deal with physicality and sideways officiating which is basically all the playoffs is. The mesh with Brandon and Kon is obvious as hell lol. If you were listening to Perk, stop listening to Perk.

edit: lamelo literally had the highest USG rate in the league last year https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2025_advanced.html#advanced_stats::usg_pct yeah it was good call to switch it up lmao

You say all of this as if people in front offices dont make moves that seem weird whole first quarter of the season was talks about moving on from the guy, one or two good weeks aint making that vanish

Team looks like they want him to stay but who cares if the FO is already over him. If they fukking with his minutes in order to bait out a response from him to warrant a trade that isn't the wildest conspiracy.

Edit: just looked up his contract he gets an extra 50 mil if he makes all star previous two seasons the fans wanted him but the team was too bad to justify it.

Now it makes sense for them to try and limit his production so they can hold onto that extra money

is payton watson making the leap?

Could just be a contract year thing but you never know

im the main one saying trade him espn calling me a source now?

I'm almost ready to say a fully healthy Denver is winning the chip

He unlocks 50 mil if he gets all star, he could've already gotten one if the team wasn't so bad


It makes sense now i could see him being hot about that, i was thinking it was about trade value.

He wasn't calling no source on espn he just gave nikkas his phone and let em see who sent the text about Melo peeping how they doing his minutes so he cant sniff all star

 

[UpAndComing]

This is the first time I'll have to say it this season. But Jaylen Brown needs to pass the damn ball, he's hogging it

There was so much openings of open shooters, and he missed it trying to go 1 on 3

how lamelo gonna be an allstar or all nba if he keeps getting hurt every year for playing more minutes than his body can handle - he won't qualify

that's his own money he's fukking up by rushing back all the time lol... and if his injury history doesn't improve, we'll have to attach picks to move that contract.

like nothing about the "they're trying to lower his value by cutting his minutes and usage" makes sense from any direction man. you legit gotta talk yourself into it and ignore every other objective fact along the way. and i still want him traded because he crashes out whenever the refs tell him to stop being p*ssy.

Playing the Celtics really is the standard

Playing the Celtics really is the standard

Not really...they just have a bit more depth than I realized and this rep w/o Joker will only help these guys

Adelman needs to play these guys even when Joker & Val come back
