Looks like the Lakers made an offer to try and get Bogdanovic from the Pisons but it seemed to be a cash and picks offer. Seemingly a good deal for the Pistons as they are in rebuild mode and this trade would probably result in them having the worst record in the NBA this season, which is what most teams want to happen so that they can have a chance at the number 1 pick next year. All eyes seem to be on Victor Wembanyama so I could actually see this trade happening in a crazy way. Surely they would give up Bogdanovic for Victor Wembanyama if given the opportunity, so maybe the extra picks will be able to get them on board. I would like this move from the Lakers. Would be the first good trade they've made in years.
But it looks like many teams are interested in Bojan, Lakers should pursue this, he will be their sharpshooter that could space the floor giving AD enough room to use his post-up game regularly. If they are not stopping with the "win now" motto then they better offer what they can, now.
The Nets are now number 4 in the East. Just like that. Another example of a strong 2nd unit that beat the Pacers yesterday without Kyrie, KD, and Ben.
That's an impressive performance for the 2nd unit of Nets. They are really proving that they are competitive and they did it in a surprising way, teamwork and trust each other.
Another case of players taking advantage of the rare opportunities given to them. I'm honestly glad that vets like Mills and youngsters like Thomas suddenly puts up big numbers. It's refreshing and hopefully that continues for the sake of the club. People are getting tired of the toxicity around their "big 3".
Patty Mills, after being acquired by the Brooklyn Nets is being forgotten. I don't see him much in the rotation because they are using isolation plays for either KD in the first unit and Kyrie in the second, Mills doesn't work on that kind of play unlike in Spurs where the ball always rotates.
I'd like to see if Jacque Vaughn will use this unit again later and check its effectiveness even when the big 3 is back against the Wizards.
