The Celtics signed Tacko Fall to a Summer League contract. He's going to have to impress because teams being intrigued by his height will only last so long He makes Shaq look like Nash at the line. He can't do anything away from the basket on offense and teams will foul him making him a big nothing on the court and on defense you drag him outside on the pick and roll and he is too slow to adjust after you blown past him He will get a few chances to show if he can play but he's set for the G League if he doesn't have any improvements He’s intriguing because he’s absolutely massive. Just how much can he improve? It sounds like he’s a lot better than he was prior to developmental high schools so it’s possibly he’s about as good as he’s going to get (he’s 23) Again, intriguing but I think he has a pretty low ceiling

He needs to be able to use the tools he as so as his his height and width. If people getting by you on the pick and roll your arms need to be spread out at all times to make it harder Some teams are going to try to make him into Boban when he doesn't have the same skill set at all. Tacko ceiling is basically a rotation piece. Someone you can bring in for 10 mins and hope they impact the game on defense I can see him having a long career overseas but idk about the NBA

Lakers have “strong interest” in D’Lo. Please no LA redemption story. NO ONE wants to be a 3rd background player to the LeBron and AD When will the Lakers get that. Players aren't desperate for a ring anymore and willing to f*** their rep over for a ring. Boogie was the latest guy to do it but he had the excuse of an injury and look how that worked out After what D'Lo just did with Brooklyn I don't see him going there. Lakers got to set their eyes on Harris, Middleton guys who would fit that 3rd guy mold and not someone who is used to having the ball in his hands and being forced to be a corner 3 point shooter Being a PG on LeBron team is a death nail unless you're Kyrie who can score and wasn't a traditional PG

He must think he got a check coming lol. Idk from where though, a team like the Knicks isn't going to sign anyone long term if it ain't who they want and even Boston will do other shit
Best he could for is if he can pull a Javale McGee and look good on a very good team bench for 10 mins and get paid but WCS can't rebound, or block for a big man so he doesn't really have a role outside of getting Alley-Oops. He's a taller JJ Hickson
He better hope a smart coach like Pop knows how to use him and will give him a chance to prove himself

Lakers talking with Steven Adams. It would be a nice add, but do they even have assets left to acquire him? Can't trade 1sts in consecutive years and that takes them to the 2027 first. Good god.

OKC might just be trying to dump his salary to avoid luxury tax hell. Lakers can absorb it because they’re below the cap and just send back one of their tiny contracts.

OKC is in an awkward position, because they need to add a piece to be an actual contender. Losing Adams for nothing would be a step in the wrong direction. They need to either contend or do an actual rebuild around PG.

They have a couple other bad contracts (Schroder and someone else I think) that they’re trying to dump. But their cap/luxury tax situation is in hell, and they don’t want to pay the huge tax as far as I’ve read.

But without Adams and with AD and Adams to the Lakers and the Kawhi to Clippers rumors, Porzingis healthy in Dallas, Spurs being healthy, etc. The Thunder could still be paying 120+ and be out of the playoffs. Rather move Schroder and Roberson, as they only have 3 years combined on their contracts. Orlando would probably take on Schroder for nothing.

They can't dump Adams for nothing. He is an important piece on that team and even with them trying to shed salary they need something back for him so I don't see them dumping him for nothing Schroder and Robertson, yes they could be dumped for nothing but not Adams

Kings media dude Carmichael Dave has mentioned DeMarcus as a possibility a few times. And he added tonight he doesn’t think the team is maxing for Vuc, or giving the 112 mil to Horford.
Dude... I’d be at a loss for words if they bring my boy back to replace Willie. Just the fact there seems to be a flicker of hope has me giddy inside.

And this is how heartbreak happens when the hopes get up lol
Good for him if he decide to go back but one hopes people realize this isn't the 25 and 10 Cousins and as well Cousins has to understand this isn't his team anymore
