July 2, 20187 yr Do laker fans think their window is open for a decade? LeBron is 34 not 24. The window is maybe 3 years and as of now this up coming season is a guaranteed no title. So they have two years. Until another star is signed all they have is LeBron and a bunch of all the sudden overrated scrubs.

Seriously all the nba talking heads are acting like the lakers are back for good. They just signed a guy on the back 9 of his career. He’s gonna be more focused on retiring in LA and making a movie career than staying in shape to go pursue titles. Window is 3 years tops.

July 3, 20187 yr Portland continuing to go all in on the best defense is a good offense. Edited July 3, 20187 yr by GabrielsHorn

How would a franchise go about writing something like that..? Wouldn't the (past) CBA's oppose something like that being stuck in the contract..?
July 3, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, Orca of Peace said: if GS is like half a billion $$ over the cap, i'm sure the Lakers can afford all the luxury tax. Unlike the Warriors, the Lakers ownership isn't that wealthy. Sure, the Buss family is 1%'ers, but they aren't fuck you rich.

Some of the "new blood" Laker fans have no knowledge of that, as they were probably still on Similac formula during that period, so all they have known is an aging Kobe with an over-rated cast of (comparative) scrubs as Ron Artest & Pau Gasol (eventually) replacing Shaq...

July 3, 20187 yr Wtf how can they sign boogie? Did they have any cap space? I’m confused how someteams just sign and trade with ease?
July 3, 20187 yr Cousins holy shit. GS wins it 2019 and 2020 then it blows up. That's 5 of 6. It's for $5.3 mil only. Does he want a ring that badly??? so he gives up $10mill+ at least just for a ring??? Dumb Lebron you should have gone to Philly. Edited July 3, 20187 yr by Orca of Peace
July 3, 20187 yr so they traded Shaqtin a Fool for Boogie. That GS GM is GOD 77-5 then 16-0 right? Edited July 3, 20187 yr by Orca of Peace
July 3, 20187 yr If they remain healthy, they're probably the best team of all time. Oh well, no reason to watch games outside of the Mavs this year.
July 3, 20187 yr Unbelievable but lol at that “closer” magic. LeBron came for Hollywood not rings as they surround him with dog shit headaches.
July 3, 20187 yr I want to see some torn ACLs, ruptured Achilles, and detached retinas in the City (tm) next year. Lakers' next signings should be Rick Mahorn & Charles Oakley.
July 3, 20187 yr the warriors got spooked because they didn't give a shit and so they added boogie as insurance in case they might lose a game
July 3, 20187 yr I honestly don't know what the league can do to stop this at this point. The SuperMax obviously didn't work, the soft salary cap didn't work, and with how large shoe contracts are, the salaries aren't even that important.
July 3, 20187 yr I'm guessing he was getting low ball offers based on his injury. He figures get healthy, play a few months, show everyone he still has it, get a ring, then get paid next summer. Let's see him healthy first though. Edited July 3, 20187 yr by dingleberryswitzer Ring

July 3, 20187 yr Let’s hope psycho cousins shows up and ruins the chemistry. Plus he won’t even be ready until January at the earliest with no guarantee he will be the same player. thats all I got to cheer myself up.

July 3, 20187 yr New theory. There is a union-wide memo that tells all players to accept less, go to stacked teams, build a massive imbalance. This is all because the players are willing to give more power to owners for a larger slice of pie. They are using contracts and rules to create a massively imbalanced nba and for the owners to spread the wealth they will have to share with the players or teams will be sucked dry by lack of competition. This is insane

I don't want that to happend though.
July 3, 20187 yr The current CBA expires after the 23-24 season. There is a mutual opt-out after 22-23. Until then, just have to sit back and take it.
July 3, 20187 yr no max no cap is the real answer where all the remaining freaks can join forces in a Super Team 2 .. such as Bron, Kawhi, AD Harden all on one team with a $300mil salary, no tax.
July 3, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, TommyGufano said: hard cap. no max salary next CBA. that's it. Even with no max salary, the players are making so much from outside of the league that it doesn't really matter. See Kawhi's situation and the rumors about the shoe companies pushing him to a bigger market.
