KNICKS maybe, but Lakers, NO!, who would the Lakers trade for him, LEBRON? lol. It will be Green, KCP, and Kuzma which could give them a salary match according to the article. I also prefer Knicks if it will be possible. If he can be traded by only one between these three I think Lakers will be over the cap considering it's Damian Lillard we are speaking. I think it will be two/three-man trade for him, my hunch if he considers it.

..because Heat is already guaranteed with a playoff spot and their standing now is currently at number 4, and even if they will drop at number 5, it still doesn't matter as in this playoffs, there will be no home court advantage.
And aside from no homecourt advantage, even they dropped at Number 5, they will still face the Number 4 in the playoffs. The best thing to do is to just maintain the current spot even some of their key players might not play. However, Sixers are on the run too as "I think" they want to avoid facing the Boston Celtics in the first round. A good plan though as for me, they can handle either Heat or Pacers in the first round.
If he can be traded by only one between these three I think Lakers will be over the cap considering it's Damian Lillard we are speaking. I think it will be two/three-man trade for him, my hunch if he considers it.
You are right, surely it is a multi-player deal or might be a multi-team deal involving 2 or more teams. Based on how the article is made, more of self-analysis by a writer with no chance of happening "for now" (well that's why it rumor lol). The Twitter post is for April Fools post and Lillard quoted that, maybe to relax the Blazers fans that he won't go elsewhere.

Yeah, not a good news as everyone is really getting exciting to see NBA again, this kind of reports will have a impact to the game again. And it seems more cases have been reported, I would say that it's really hard to see some games in this new norm. We just hope that everyone will be ok for the Bucks. It will have a big dent if it will be Giannis (hope not).
Until I see it with my own eyes that they finally resume the game again, right now I doubt that the game will actually be back after this terrible news. Almost every day we see other players added to the infected ones. I also doubt that the other players are really negative because some might only show some symptoms after a few games. this is so bad men, I really hope that everything will be back to normal again.

Just the calculation of missed games of Zion vs games played of Ja Morant could easily tell which is the winner. We will see next year if Zion deserves that respect and praise from Lebron. Better, make the impossible. Win the games in this last 8 games then fight for the 8th seed of the playoffs. That will be something to watch. A head to head between two big expectation rookies. The bet doesn't even worth it honestly, I mean Ja Morant 100% will win it. But 2% profit? I mean if you are not putting a million dollars into it, I do not think that you are going to make much profit from it. Even if you put like 10 bitcoins into it which rarely any crypto sportsbook would accept that high, you are not going to win a ton of money relatively. Most places have that bet at 0.1 cap and that means you are going to profit 0.002 and even though it makes to bet on it for guaranteed income, it is just not entertaining at all. There are tons of games where 1.4 odds are available, so I would assume it would be a lot smarter to wager on those ones, a team with 1.4 odds to win means they are going to basically win unless something major happens and that bet would gain you a good amount of money as well.

I'm not surprised for this. It must be the curse of the NBA 2K cover athletes. Player just leaving after they become one of the cover of it. I better hope the NBA 2K cover curse not going to happen on Dame.

I'm not surprised for this. It must be the curse of the NBA 2K cover athletes. Player just leaving after they become one of the cover of it. I better hope the NBA 2K cover curse not going to happen on Dame. I didn't know that. Like a curse of the jersey number 23? Searching.... Holy crap! It's on Google. What is the NBA 2k curse? The theory of the curse emerged when the community noticed several players were on the move from their respective teams around the time they were picked to be featured. For example, the video game company picked NBA star LeBron James to be on their cover in 2014. Honestly, this is new to me. So these are the examples of why they alias it as a curse. LinkFor example, the video game company picked NBA star LeBron James to be on their cover in 2014. That year, King James left the Miami Heat to go to back to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The same thing happened in 2018, when James once again graced the cover for the 2019 edition. This time, he went to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Similarly, Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder and joined Golden State Warriors in 2016. He had featured on the cover in 2015. Paul George, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis were on the covers in 2017, 2018, and 2020. They had requested trades, very close by to when they were on the cover. And they fear that Damian is in line because of his recent tweets. But I doubt that. He loves to compete. “To leave, what did I invest all this time for just to leave, you know? If I go play with three other stars, I don’t think that many people would doubt that I could win it. We would win it, but what is the challenge or the fun in that?” Although, who knows? They can be aggressive in pulling some strings.

Lakers center Dwight Howard told today he has decided to play in restarted NBA season, join the team on Thursday in Orlando, and will donate his remaining game checks to his non-profit campaign Breathe Again. https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1280334852341055488Dwight gonna love the party at the bubble.

Also; he probably heard Kelly Oubre will be in the bubble. Great news, I hope Irving would also do the same, so all of them will participate. Lakers needs him TBH, he has been doing really well this season, no injury so he is very vital to his team, especially that he has a good experience in the playoffs though he didn't win a championship. Maybe this time Howard with the help of Lebron and Davis, he will get his first championship.

Lakers center Dwight Howard told today he has decided to play in restarted NBA season, join the team on Thursday in Orlando, and will donate his remaining game checks to his non-profit campaign Breathe Again. So much talk about not continuing with the season in fear of distracting the people from activism, and in the end all of them will play this season. This was expected really, players just like to run their mouth, but I guess they listened to those that said more could be done this way, that stopping with season all together. This part is interesting, fact that he could win his first title certainly helped him change his opinion I feel like we have a great opportunity, the Lakers do, for winning the title this year," Howard said in an interview with CNN's Don Lemon. "I have an obligation. I have a contractual obligation. To my teammates, to my fans, the Lakers, the organization and everyone, but at the same time I also have an obligation to my family and my community.
https://www.nba.com/newsIn the end, definitely good news for the Lakers. While far away from his peak, Howard is still useful player, and will be needed.

[.. snip ..] I think it also shows Dwight Howard really maturing, I'm sure we all know that during his prime, he was branded as childish and everything. But as his age, specially at the point of his career today, he was very lucky to be given the chance by the Lakers management once more to be with them. And maybe he doesn't want to miss this opportunity to win a ring with them and this could be his last time as well. Good decision on his part.

That chance was not really he is expecting at his level, maybe the chance to play with the best in the NBA and the opportunity to win a championship, but salary wise, it's too small compared to what he was previously making. His golden days was when he was with the Orlando Magic, after than Howard already struggles.

We'll never know their plan, but if they will avoid in the first round, eventually they will still meat in the East if both teams will beat their opponent. Sixers are boston are both good teams but I think Sixers here can beat Boston in a series, I'm not too sure but looking at the line up, Sixers have bigger and stronger roster, IMO.

The NBA turned Disney ballrooms into multiple practice courts
Jeez. The ceiling don't look high enough. Are they gonna practice at the same time? coz It looks like to be that way... 1. If you hit at three on a neighbor’s court from your own court it’s worth 10 points. 2. Three court shots can be attempted in the final three seconds of each quarter. A three court shot is worth 20 points. 3. As soon as a team goes on a 10-0 run additional basketballs are released on neighboring courts for MULTI BALL. Each team can send their bench to the courts to rack up points until the ball goes out of bounds, then it’s lost. The article creator drive me crazy about their ideas implementing new rules.

Wow! LaMelo Ball goes to the warriors as the number 1 pick.
How is that?
I think it's a good help for the warriors to get back to the number 1 spot again, of course with both Curry and Thompson playing healthy.
Dunno if his gameplay gonna fit with the warriors. Well, fair enough better than being drafted to Phoenix Suns LOL . One more thing, we aren't even sure yet if he can play with the intensity the league has but I believe he can. But whatever, what's certain here is that, if he did land on warriors he'll be having a great coach that's it . Anyway, I am excited to see him play in NBA, I've been a follower of him for quite some time I just hope he won't end up like his brother, Pat's going to bully him haha .

About their time, am pretty sure their practice time gonna meet across each other. But everyone going to practice at the exact same time? I don't think so. Maybe there will be gaps, and so on, but yeah, who knows?

The court is cute. If they will practice at the same time, who have thought of this protocol? The officer will be blamed if ever there's going to be another covid19 case for those players that will practice on this court at the same time.

Jeez. The ceiling don't look high enough. Yeah, compared to the standard gym ceiling height, but I guess that would be fine, they wont be throwing any hail mary passes anyway. But, honestly this venue looks awkward and boring lol. I hope they'll really just use this only for practice, not with the actual games. and it’s likely they won’t all practice at the same time in order to keep to social distancing Correct me If I'm wrong, but I think it's pointless. If they're gonna be kept and intact inside the facility, these social distancing stuff won't matter as they are for sure safe from the inside. Plus, the court is wide. 1. If you hit at three on a neighbor’s court from your own court it’s worth 10 points. 2. Three court shots can be attempted in the final three seconds of each quarter. A three court shot is worth 20 points. 3. As soon as a team goes on a 10-0 run additional basketballs are released on neighboring courts for MULTI BALL.

Man, this is the product of a bored mind, probably working at home because of the pandemic lol.

I'm worried if they are safe for this set-up since how can they assure if the other person inside the court is clean and not infected? they should make those venues away from each team so that they will not huddle together. I believe that this is not the final and they will implement the health and safety protocol so that their games will not get suspended again for unfortunate events if they act lame this time. Dunno but it's kind of disturbing to me . About their time, am pretty sure their practice time gonna meet across each other. But everyone going to practice at the exact same time? I don't think so.

There should be no need for social distancing as they are already tested, players who were going to the venue are safe, so no risk at all. on the other news, if not yet posted here, allow me to post it. Report: NBA players who travel separately to Orlando face additional costs, tests
This is how strict the NBA, they want to be fully 100% sure that no one would take the virus to the venue.
