Agreed. It would be a bad idea for a team that was looking to compete now, for a team that is going to need a couple of years like the Mavericks, it is a pure Knicksy-type move.

I’m surprised Jordan actually opted out (I thought he was looking for a sign and trade). I guess he figures that even if he doesn’t make $24 million a year, he’ll make up for it in the overall contract length and he might not get the same offer next year.

Dallas is at least an interesting team – Doncic, Matthews, Barnes, Dirk and Jordan? Not a good team, per se, but interesting.

Yeah, that is such a Lavar move to keep him from being included in any trades. “Oh, hey, you know that minor issue that everyone knew about that we were keeping quiet about? Yeah, let’s leak that so no one will trade for you.” Wow.

Three things here:1) It's his left knee, same as the previous issues.2) Shams describes it as a minor injury.3) The Lakers diagnosed this at the end of the season, so this isn't new to them, which makes the timing of this news…interesting. https://t.co/KnQhGz5OBz— Laker Film Room (@LakerFilmRoom) June 29, 2018

It’s after Midnight on Friday. So did Kanter opt in or not?

After telling Shams he hadn’t made up his mind, he then admitted that, yes, obviously he opted in (he didn’t say “obviously,” of course).

I’m actually kinda psyched for Mitchell Robinson. If his mental shit is something he can sort out guy could be a monster. Looking forward to summer league.
