Bobby Marks I had a team text me last night after this came out this is a team not in the lottery and they said they would basically write a blank check if they had the opportunity to pick in the top 3 of this year's draft based on what the fines could be here

Stan Van Gundy We have to remove any incentive to losing I'd get rid of the draft If you want to go give Cooper Flagg 45Myear coming out of college do it he's a free agent The other thing let's take out the individual max You'd take those top 30 players and spread them around the league

Adam Silver Its not what the fans want although my caveat is and teams are in a difficult place because many of you have written the worst place to be is a middle of the road team and either be great or be bad because that will help you with the draft

Stan Van Gundy Id get rid of the draft No draft You still have the salary cap if you want to go give Cooper Flagg 45 million a year coming out of college do it hes a free agent Everybody coming out is a free agent With no draft theres no incentive to lose theres none at all

Quinn Miami has the best offer right now their picks in 2030-32 will be pretty valuable Bams no spring chicken idk what the FO will look like Pat Riley is 80 Kelel Ware is worth more than a 2026 pick If Im getting picks in 2030-32 either way but Miami has the best prospect to offer

Lakers GM Rob Pelinka on the trade deadline I would say we were aggressive And one form of being aggressive is saying no thats like being aggressive even though you end up doing nothing because its hard to say no sometimes to getting a good player

Siegel The Heat can offer Tyler Herro Kelel Ware Jaime Jaquez Jakucionis and 2 1st round picks they can trade right now in the offseason all of a sudden that doubles they can trade 4 1st round picks I just dont think theres another team out there that has a better package than that
