July 2, 20187 yr Is KG doing to act like a spurned ittle bitch for the next few years because Rondo joined a hated rival?
July 2, 20187 yr Just now, Sbbruin said: Boogie to the Lakers maybe. Not enough petty cash left over without doing some roster shedding.
July 2, 20187 yr With Lebron on the floor, Lonzo being off the ball hurts the floor spacing on offense. There aren't many people you could replace him with that would make it worse. Rondo is one.

Wade i guess counts.

July 2, 20187 yr I'm firmly in the Jordan GOAT camp, buuuut, if they don't land another superstar, or that superstar is lane clogger Boogie, and Lebron can drag this dumpster fire to the Finals, I'm ready to eat crow like a mofo.
July 2, 20187 yr Lakers don’t have the cap space to get boogie. Do laker fans just think this is a video game where you can trade whoever to your team? Tell me how the lakers could make boogie work under the cap?
July 2, 20187 yr 8.4m MLE for a 1 year prove it deal. Boogie won't be cleared to play until at least January, so it kind of makes sense.

There is absolutely no chance this Lakers roster is getting to the finals over the Warriors.

I do find it fascinating how many low IQ guys--or guys with high IQ that are just nut cases--find their way to LeBron's teams. I'm thinking that he really, really likes the "carrying his team on his own" narrative.....and just maybe he likes the built in "well, of course he lost, look at his teammates" excuse as well.

July 2, 20187 yr I just perused the remaining free agents list and the whole offseason will be a huge disappointment unless the Lakers sign Michael Beasley and re-sign Swaggy P.

July 2, 20187 yr how come LA doesn't have cap space for Cousins? Didn't they just gut their roster and only have Bron with big $$?
July 2, 20187 yr Just now, Orca of Peace said: how come LA doesn't have cap space for Cousins? Didn't they just gut their roster and only have Bron with big $$? Luol Deng makes 18m.. Unless they move that contract they have no space.
July 2, 20187 yr I think the Lakers f/o is lining up to do at least one major trade this summer. Deng/Lonzo package for cap room, maybe sign Cousins and still make a play for Kawhi with Ingram and Kuzma and if it falls through they will still have cap room for Kawhi next summer.

I think same thing.. They are gonna package all the expiring contracts with a young stud for a guy with 2/3 years left on contract so a team can free up the books and get a young talent at same time. Either that or they are a dumpster fire in the making.
July 2, 20187 yr Author This Lakers team feels like a Lebron team but without the other two stars. Vets with “something to prove” on short term contracts... waiting for the big trade for an established star. This team will be fun as hell....can’t win anything as currently constructed but fun as hell...
July 2, 20187 yr Just now, Orca of Peace said: they renounced Randle so how does that help the cap? I thought it was going to save them about 12M but they just spent it on Rondo i think?
July 2, 20187 yr Author 2 minutes ago, Orca of Peace said: they renounced Randle so how does that help the cap? Lakers have $5.6 million in cap space left. If they trade Deng, can open up to $22.8 million in space. They already used Room EXP on Lance.
July 2, 20187 yr if GS is like half a billion $$ over the cap, i'm sure the Lakers can afford all the luxury tax.
July 2, 20187 yr Of the recent really dumb NBA decisions, the Grizzlies not trading Tyreke Evans at the deadline last year has to be up there.

July 2, 20187 yr Magic Johnson is a fucking wizard with all these moves. Highly impressed. First he drafted lonzo and now this. Amazing.
July 2, 20187 yr Lakers have some inside information that Silver is doing away with the 3 point shot for next season.
July 2, 20187 yr Active players who've made All-NBA 1st team, by current conf.: West LeBron James Kevin Durant James Harden Stephen Curry Anthony Davis Kawhi Leonard Chris Paul Russell Westbrook DeAndre Jordan Marc Gasol Dirk Nowitzki Derrick Rose East Joakim Noah TBD Dwight Howard Dwyane Wade
July 2, 20187 yr Author 3 minutes ago, BigOrange1 said: great get for new orleans. wonder if it means the end of boogie though? Yep..... lonzo for boogie or 3 way trade??? Randle for Rondo basically thus far? Major win for the Cans... fuck, Randle at 9 per is robbery.... Edited July 2, 20187 yr by Patrick Bateman
July 2, 20187 yr 12 minutes ago, BigOrange1 said: big man rotation of davis, randle and mirotic is fucking legit. I'll take the Pelicans over Lakers right now.
July 2, 20187 yr same. i'd say 3rd in the west is a tossup with them and the jazz. lakers/thunder follow. as of this moment of course. these lakers moves feel so weird that i have to believe something else is coming.

July 2, 20187 yr Nerlens Noel to the Thunder. If any players in the history of the league first with the Thunder, it's Nerlens Noel. At some point, both him and Roberson will be on the floor at the same time.
