     4 questions for everyone:

    Lonzo ball do you keep or trade him if you were the Lakers GM. if you trade him what for or if you keep him what do you do with him?

    Jimmy Butler what do people think the T-wolves should trade him for?

    and

    Who do people think will make the  first trade who and what for?

    Who do people think will make the first coach firing out of the following teams:

    Wizards,T-wolves,Pelicans,Nets,Suns,Mavs or Knicks

    1. Lakers should trade Lonzo Ball to the Eastern Conference, the Lakers need a stretch 4 and a ISO scoring Guard (Wade-Bosh or Kylie-Love) to maximize Lebron James’ talent

    What stretch 4 or ISO Guards are out there here though? 

    I had a idea to trade Ball to Orlando for Vucevic but than the Lakers got Tyson Chandler to split time with Javale 

    There aren’t many Guards that fit the mold of Wade or Irving, maybe the Lakers could pry away Lou Williams with a prospect like Lonzo involved in the Deal, although they just drafted SGA

    2. Wolves should trade Jimmy Buckets for a 3 and D Wing like Bazemore or Robert Covington, someone who’ll simply play their role and defend/shoot the open 3 Ball…76ers may not want Butler around Ben and Joel although unlike KAT and Wiggins they don’t lack Heart or that “Dog” mentality 

    3. I think the Wolves, Lakers, Rockets, Wizards or Jazz make the 1st trade, these Teams haven’t gotten off to the start they wanted

    4. Wizards will fire their coach if they don’t turn it around quickly

       I logged in for the first time in about 2 years just to "thumbs down" your post. Your responses to the first and second questions were horrendous. I’m not high on Ball but the notion the Lakers would give him up for a Nick Vucevic, who you can’t win with in the playoffs makes no sense to a playoff team. Besides, he would’ve been a buyout candidate at the deadline anyway, since the Magic are averse to taking back long-term money and will likely not find any takers at the deadline for him otherwise. So why would the Lakers have ever given up an asset for something they could (and still can get) for free?

         Maybe Im missing something. Why cant you win with Vucevic in the playoffs? I think he is the perfect big to share the Center minutes with Mcgee. This way they would have both a rolling and stretch C. He maybe a liability defensively but c’mon, really who isnt at this point.

        Nobody wants Ball he has no value at this point.

     1. Trade Lonzo..several teams looking for a PG, for expiring contracts and maybe a first. Will free up even more money for next year FA Class. 

    2. T-Wolves F’n up…the more people see this is a shh show the less value he has. Should call Miami back..I don’t see the 76ers trading for him, don’t see him fitting in with the young chemistry. 

    3. First trade will be Butler, wouldn’t be surprised if Love gets traded in Feb. 

    Wizards-No, coach just signed a new contract..they would have to pay him a ton!

    T-Wolves- Yes, Tibbs fighting with the owner to keep Jimmy when he needs to go. 

    Suns-Offseason, new GM, will want his guy in there.

    1. I have heard absolutely no indication that Lonzo is on the trading block so I’m not sure where this question is coming from. Unless an offer comes along that is simply too good to pass up, you be patient and let him develop. Same goes for Ingram, kuzma and hart.

    2. If Houston is really desperate enough to get butler that they would offer 4 first round picks, you call Daryl morey and find a way to work out a deal. Even if you trade in some of the picks for veterans who can help you win now, or need to find a third team to make it work you just need to get something done sooner than later. His presence is just toxic to the team right now.

    3. If I had to guess, it would have to be butler. I’m shocked he hasn’t been traded already. Teams generally don’t make a lot of deals this early in the season.

    4. I would have to guess wolves or wizards. Both thibs and brooks seem to be hanging on by a thread right now. I would keep an eye on Hoiberg in Chicago as well.

    Lonzo ball do you keep or trade him if you were the Lakers GM. if you trade him what for or if you keep him what do you do with him?

    Lonzo Ball is starting too become a seriously effective team player. He is one of the best passers and playmakers in the NBA that does not need the ball in his hands. He is an elite rebounder at the guard position and has become one of the better defenders at the point. Unless you can flip him for a Damian Lillard, I wouldn’t be moving him anytime soon.

    Jimmy Butler what do people think the T-wolves should trade him for?

    Are those four first rounders from Houston still available? The longer the holder on to him, the lower his value becomes. If that Houston deal is still on offer then I’d snatch it up. I don’t think they’re going to get better than that at this stage.
     

    Who do people think will make the first trade who and what for?

    I don’t imagine the first trade will be a massive shocker or blockbuster deal. I can see a team like Utah who is underachieving at the moment making a deal where they send Alec Burks elsewhere to free up minutes for Grayson Allen. I don’t imagine they’d get anything large in return.
     

    Who do people think will make the first coach firing out of the following teams:

    Scott Brooks of the Washington Wizards

     Lonzo Ball to Phoenix for a wing, maybe Warren

    I think Butler will end up going to a contender for trash

    Houston will do something nuts if this continues. I’m talking like CP3 and Anthony to LA for Ingram and Kuzma level nuts. Watch this space. 

    Scott Brooks has no doubt packed all his shit at home in preparation for a move. John Wall may wish to do the same.

      I could see something crazy like Ball and Kuzma or Ingram for Cp3,Melo and picks happening if Lebron suggests it to happen…Would work for both sides  Dantoni could get his stretch 4 in Kuz and Ball could try turn into Dantoni’s Steve nash or Jkidd…Getting Harden any shot he wants lol

      The Suns Ball and an average deal for T.J Warren,something else and a pick could be an interesting take on things as a Booker,Ball and Ayton core would be crazy to watch…

      Brooks lol agreed same about Wall.

    Would the Lakers give up on Lonzo and Magic being possibly the greatest ever PG would be reluctant to move a player like that but if it could make them contend then it could happen.

    1. Considering Rondo’s only on a one-year deal, I think the Lakers would be wise to use this year to have Rondo take Ball under his wing and then hand Ball the reins next year.  If it’s clear in Year 3 that Ball isn’t progressing, then I think you explore your options. For now though, I think they need to be patient, especially considering that the moves to bring in both LeBron and Rondo were inevitably going to cause Ball’s production to slip.

     

    2 and 3. Butler’s been traded to the Sixers for Covington and Saric, per Woj. Good move for both teams IMO. 

     

    1. Grunfeld is too inept to make the move to fire Brooks now. Before the Butler trade, I would’ve predicted Thibs. But now I’m starting to think Luke Walton will be the first to fall. Magic has said he wouldn’t, but if it gets to be mid-December and the Lakers aren’t winning more consistently, I could seem them making a move.
