Being the oldest team in the NBA substantially and just trying to limp in to the playoffs is grounds to burn it down. But they are carrying some truly awful contracts and don’t have picks either.

Lakers have done this before too. Tried to tack old Malone and GP onto Kobe and Shaq who were probably about LBJ’s age but still in prime.

Have you seen the Reddit threads on THT? He's had some really really bad stretches this year.

his outside shot isn’t clicking but he’s also shown to be a unique mismatch creator. NBA is a grind and I think he’s adjusting this year. Won’t be surprised to see him produce for Lakers or another team in the next year or two.

Short of the fountain of youth, it doesn't matter. They aren't winning a title.

And if I were a GM I don't touch Simmons unless he falls off a truck while I'm driving by.

It’s getting very close to Royce W territory and nobody was talking about a straight up trade with an all star for him. The guy isn’t even playing because of mental issues.

THT is still younger than some guys in the upcoming draft, so that certainly makes him a valuable trade asset. Still a lot of potential.

D'Angelo Russell has been a solid pro too that they didn't give much of a chance to.
Yeah but he was traded for snitching on his teammate cheating, right? I assume that didn't go over well in the locker room.

LOL I think so. What a toxic locker room that must have been. Russell is a good player.
Swaggy P was OK I guess.
