NBA Season - now 24/25

And Steve Adams traded to Memphis in an all-sorts type trade with players and picks. Pelicans pick up the guy who could be the Grizzlies best player. Ultimately the Grizzlies just moved up 7 spots in the draft.
And, of interest to followers of the NBL, i have seen chat that they did that so they could take Josh Giddey who played for Adelaide last year.
@mariner4life That trade is a big win for the Pelicans. They get rid of two players who don't fit well next to Zion and have terrible contracts, and in return they get a very productive centre who is cheaper than both.

Val is a gun. I reckon Pelicans aren’t done either. With Adams and Bledsoe gone, there are strong rumours that Ingram could go too.
Hope Adams finds a role (somewhere).

Adams will be useful to a team, his contract is not though

Russ could be going home.

Bloody hope not. I'd like to think LBJ is smart enough to know Russ isn't going to make them better

I think they must be thinking they won't play the 3 of them together much, similar to Brooklyn 3. Rusty and AD together makes sense for when LeBron sits. And they really didn't give much up for him, though the salary obviously stinks
This was a fake trade I made up that I likes better

The Lakers are busy:
Free-agent forward Carmelo Anthony agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, Anthony's manager, Bay Frazier, told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal is for one season, according to Frazier. Anthony's agent, Aaron Mintz of CAA Sports, completed the agreement with Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka on Tuesday.

Kendrick Nunn has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with the Lakers.
Monk, Ellison both 40% for 3
@mariner4life may as well get that Nets v Lakers bet on now...

Speaking of the Nets...
The Brooklyn Nets are adding free-agent guard Patty Mills and are retaining restricted free-agent guard Bruce Brown, who is signing his qualifying offer.
Mills has agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with the Nets, his agent, Steven Heumann of CAA Basketball, told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal includes a player option.
Brown, meanwhile, is signing his one-year qualifying offer of $4.7 million to return to the Nets, his agent, Ty Sullivan of CAA Basketball, told Wojnarowski.

That'll be good for Mills. Live in NYC. Learn some stuff off Kyrie. Smoke pot with KD. Hit the clubs with Harden. Maybe get a ring.
Good times
-
i will miss Patty. And he was really the last link to when the Spurs were good (Pop aside obviously) so that's sad. But you go son, have fun.
That said, i am already hoping it goes wrong at both the Nets and the Lakers. fuck 'em

we're going to suck next season
but i am interested to watch Landale. He was too good for the NBL, and he has all sorts of attitude about him. Hope he goes well.
