Which team do you think Aquaman will be traded?

Thunder might really go on total rebuilding by only keeping CP3?
This man is a monster, though he does not have a soft touch shooting like other big man, but he is good defensively and he always play with some sense of urgency.

They also have Danillo Gallinari. He's pretty good also and can shoot anywhere in the court. So please don't cast him out.

About this trade with aquaman, I guess this would be a good trade with another team without an outstanding center. Probably he can try his skills with GSW. Compare to Willey, he would be the better player. And GS could be great again.

He will definitely be a good addition in LA Clippers. What do you think about a team built with tight defensive core?
I dont know but I have a strong feeling the LAC will definitely chase this trade.

Same here, I would also like to see him in Clippers. The guy is a workhorse, dependable when it comes to defense, and unselfish. He's still relatively young also. He already played with Paul George before and playing with the other guys shouldn't be a problem.

Hot news from Lakers today. I didn't expected that they will sign this legend's son. Although with some conditions applied.
Lakers sign David Stockton, son of Hall of Fame point guard John Stockton

They sign this to fill their line up. Which means, this kid is just a filler and maybe a third slinger in his spot. Low salary to comply with the salary cap and to avoid luxury tax if the Lakers will have an excess in salary cap.

Who knows what's the real deal with him, He's the son of respected superstar maybe Lakers will use that to add some more hype to this kids name.

The season is almost there and we will see how this franchise improve after acquiring AD and all those supporting cast to balance Lebron's leadership.

You can barely see someone's dominance in a pre-season game.

I have seen his latest "signature" move and it's more of a shot done on the streets. There have been shots like that in the past but only desperation or beating the buzzer shots.

There was an interview with James Harden saying that he will have an upgrade this season. I'm guessing that this might be it.

Even though these kind of shots are only made for fun or during HORSE games, i guess he could do it in an actual game and he's practicing this and honing this to excellence.

That's not an upgrade. While I'm not underestimating him to improve his accuracy on that shot, it's not what his team needs to win a championship.

He could learn how to work off the ball. Less dribbles

Celtics is impossible, the writers must be crazy to think that Celtics would be willing to send Jaylen Brown, that dude has an amazing future and a great player, why would you send a player that has been drafted by your team and has such an amazing potential for a player we know that is great but don't know if it will work out for the team. Clippers also already traded their future picks already, they don't have any decent players to send to OKC and there is just not enough pieces to move around to make sense for such a great player.

I think it will be quite difficult to move a player like Adams, dude requires a great deal of picks and great deal of salary cap and no team really needs a non-superstar right now for such a high payment, they would rather use it for something else.

It's not crazy. They just made a theoretical situation but they know it was even 0 chance to happen.

Already read the article what I think you are referring to and all I can say is, not a big deal after all.

Don't take that seriously.

Lakers sign David Stockton, son of Hall of Fame point guard John Stockton

I see his https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/stockda01.html.. is not so impressive, he only average 3.3 points but who knows if they see something in this kid to be a good contributor, but let us not expect that he will play longer minutes as for sure their starters will usually play extended minutes due to their weak 2nd unit.

Yes, it's not so impressive at all but I think Lakers sees something to this kid and in the future, they'll work with him and improve him to contribute to their team. He won't play with the team due to contract but this is a good start for the kid.

They sign this to fill their line up. Which means, this kid is just a filler and maybe a third slinger in his spot. Low salary to comply with the salary cap and to avoid luxury tax if the Lakers will have an excess in salary cap.

I think thought about that, I'm thinking about him on improvement through Lakers hand.

He's practicing his move just to improve it and help his team and not to win championship. Of course if he improve his game, he can help his team for their goals.

I don't agree that Kawhi doesn't bring too much hype. Just after the finals, everyone turned in for Raptors but after knowing that he's going to leave the team.

They hype was only after they won the NBA finals but when he first joined the Raptors there was no hype as he was coming from injury that time.
And if you noticed, he start with limited minutes only and he does not usually go with games outside Toronto, and its a wise decision since the Raptors does not struggle to be in the top 8 and in fact they also win a lot of games even without Leonard.

There's still the effect that he brought after the championship.

I didn't said that even after joining the Raptors there's hype already. I've said that after the finals, he turned out to be a hot player to the press and most of the fans started to follow him because on his performance.

I'm thinking he deserved a better point guard than WB, but now that he has Paul and it seems he will be traded based on the rumors, I like him to be in a team where he can play his full potential and this guy deserve to win a championship so with Clippers he would surely achieved that.

PG and Kawhi are both unselfish player, I already Imagine how he can benefit that passes when they drive inside the paint.

The pre-season looking good for the Rockets.

It's just another practice. Real action is coming in a few days.

What do we think about this rumor?

NBA Rumors: Lakers Could Bring Back Jordan Clarkson Via Midseason Trade, ‘L.A. Sports Hub’ Suggests

I think he will be able to help the Lakers if the management will be able to get him back.
He is a good scorer and they can put Clarkson in the 2nd unit, this team will surely improve more.

Lakers don't need him. They need a consistent outside shooter and not someone who loves to dribble. They already have Kuzma for that position but things could quickly change come midseason.

I agree, Clarkson might not be needed.  What they need is a 3 and d guy.  Someone to guard the other teams best players and on offense can play without the ball and be a 3 point threat to spread the floor.  Those types of players are invaluable come playoff time.  Clarkson will demand the ball, that isnt needed for them

You are basing what you see in his previous games or his task in his current team now.
When he will be in the lakers with completely different squad, he might be change into a different player and that's based on the coaching staff design for him. If ever they will get him back, that means he has a big role to fill for the team, and Lebron knows him since they played together for one season.

Yes players can definately change but I dont think that is what they particularly need.  What they can use is a Bruce Bowen type of player, he was invaluable to those spurs teams.  They spurs had duncan, parker, etc to ay the lead dog roles, Bruce took some of the defensive burden off their plate and helped spread the floor for them on offense.

That adjustment will makes him more dangerous, If he will not hold the ball long and he play in particular rotations it will gives the entire squad to keep finding the open man before taking the shot. This would be the type of game where he and WB will make a good chemistry together. We all
knows how fans anticipate them but if change happen now, it will be more exciting to see them play together.

Thats why I think this trade between the OKC and LAC will happen. Neverthless, with this addition to LAC will just make the competition in the Western conference even more tighter. LAC, Lakers, and Rockets are gonne be rocking the top seed in the west for sure.

That's right. Especially LA Lakers whose line-up is focused on inside games with LeBron dictating their tempo. Based on their game on pre-season against GSW, the Lakers seems to be unstoppable inside the paint and that's a big problem for most of their opponents.

I agree but look at how the rotation of the ball is in Houston, the rotation goes with Harden->Harden->Harden. What I mean is he is the one controlling the offense. He could pass but the ball's possession is always on his hands. Although now, with Russ, this could be more interesting. The triple-double machine.


What a game for LA lakers dominating the game. I can't believe the intensity this Lakers showed that game. I don't know what they will do now, when the NBA season is finally going to come. This season is bright for Lakers.

They dominated the Warriors but this is just a pre season, however, the way they played, they are so scary especially when Davis are getting that offensive rebound and will do a put back dump. I think I'm gonna put a little for them winning the NBA championship this season, they have a very tall line up and they are fast as well.

I have watched the highlights of the Lakers vs GSW game and the Lakers simply dominated the shaded area with Lebron, Davis and McGee. To be honest they have good inside players and a good backcourts too. If there will be no injuries for them throughout the whole season, there is a big chance that they will reach the playoffs this season but still don't expect too much for them even their roster is better now compare to the their roster last season.

Good thing with the Lakers is they have Lebron who drives the ball inside, he is more confident now and he really take this team to the finals again.
The warriors line up looks so small against the Lakers and Davis is showing his usual star calibre plays, and that's why he is one of the favorite players in the NBA, I'm hoping for his good health and that he will be able to finish the regular season and the off season healthy.

Im confident that the Lakers will secure a top seed to enter the playoffs. With AD in addition to the roster alone is already a huge move for the Lakers management. When they signed AD thats an automatic playoff-bound for the Lakers.

I have watched the game too, and offensively I can say the Lakers easily dominated the game from every area in the field, and youre right, most of these areas are were AD, Lebron, and McGee positioned themselves.
Im afraid the GSW will miss the playoffs this year if Thompson remains unhealthy for the rest of the season.

Here some playoff prediction from Chris Webber :



Chris knew the GSW lost too much intensity without KD and Klay.
Now, the NBA fans have just realized how underrated Klay was. Steph and Green wont make it alone. I know DLo is in their current roster, but I doubt he wont make enough impact this year with GSW this year.
