NBA Season 2018/19

Tony Parker just signed for 2 years $10m with Charlotte

Do you want Chicago to match the LaVine offer, Valk?

[LaHug]

Rondo saying he likes Lonzo, thinks he has the highest IQ for a 20 year old he's seen, and wants to help him learn. Says he will accept any role that helps the team win.

Lance got a better offer from the Pacers but chose Lakers because LeBron called him.

Funny all the rumours about those two being bad signings dying off within days.

[Keeper27]

Chicago matches Kings $80m/4 year contract and Lavine stays a bull.
$20m/per year seems a tad much IMO.

"Tad" is a nice way to put it.

Yes I wanted them to match - we already have Bogdan Bogdanovic and Buddy Hield at the SG and I just cant see how you can rotate all 3 of them in that position.

Why the hell did the Lakers let Lopez walk? First major mistake this offseason for me...

doesnt seem like he fits into the plan Magic/Lebron are making which is tough play-makers that gives Lebron to work on developing his post game.

Lopez certainly isnt what id call tough or a play maker and would get in Lebron's way.

Im ok with letting him walk.

I just think our lack of depth in the C position, and the fact that Lopez can shoot threes (which is huge with Lonzo, Rondo, and LeBron playmaking), means we should've kept him. I guess we'll see what Magic and Pelinka do. As long as it wasn't just so that we can get Melo...

Worst big man rotation in the league? Though the Hornets, Nets, Wizards and Clippers would beg to differ

well any Rotation with James in it is pretty elite.

James Kuzma is pretty good, but yes the bench is very bad.

Take James and Kuzma out of that group and those bigs couldn’t win GLeauge games

sad but true... read somewhere that Rondo will be more mentor to Lonzo and that Rondo will play #1 PG
