The DLO trade will be a gem to us, aside from removing Lopez DLO clashes with Lin, who is their engine and them clashing probably makes the Nets a dysfunctional team to add on them being crap. I expect to bottom 3 finish for them this year.

That's only going to make the Nets worse as well.Quote from: Emmette Bryant on August 07, 2017, 01:17:51 AMhttps://valleyofthesuns.com/2017/08/06/the-suns-will-win-more-than-30-games-this-season/The Suns have to be better than the Lakers, I don't know how someone can look at the roster and not see that. It's fairly clear that the 3 worst teams in the West are the Lakers, Suns and Kings. I could quite easily see the Lakers finishing at the bottom of those 3.

I could quite easily see the Lakers finishing at the bottom of those 3.Lin's contract is not a good one at all. $12 million this year with a 10% trade kicker, and a playeroption at $12.5 million for next year is an awful lot for a player who's no better than backup material on good teams. If it were a true expiring, I could see a team biting, but that's a lot of potential payroll to take on for next summer, and Lin presumably is smart enough to see how the market tanked for non-stars this summer, and thus could be expected to opt in.

Levert references them being a top 7 team in the East when all their guys were available, anyone got any knowledge on that? I would find that very, very hard to believe. He tries to downplay losing Lopez but he was a threat inside and out last year, that isn't going to be easy to replace.
