    Ya..Cousins pulling a McGee. With what has transpired the last 48 hours, anything can happen.

    Cousins is a life long Laker fan. With LeBron in the bag I'm 99% sure he would have signed here. Maybe we had to pay slightly more... Let's say 10 mio. Guaranteed he would have signed. He said he chose GS because he got no offers.

    Again, we are in conjecture mode and we don't know what was said in the Cousins Lakers meeting. Perhaps the Lakers weren't willing to take any risk on a guy coming back from an Achilles tear. Maybe they would be next year if he's shown that he's healed up and playing really well. I'm ok with losing out on Cousins at this juncture. But I do want to get Kawhi if possible. He's the target we are really looking at. Maybe it's by trade if the price is right for both teams, maybe not now but at the deadline. Maybe it's in FA next summer while still keeping our young players.

    What risk lakerjones? It's 5 friggin millions.

    I'm not sure what you are trying to excuse? They f'd up, simple and plain.
    We don't know why he didn't come. But I also don't care why he didn't come. I'm telling you those that did come are garbage and letting Randle go was garbage by desrespecting him the entire time. These are facts. It doesn't matter why... The FO is not rated by trying... It's rated by results. Point blank.

    How were the results in getting Lebron James the biggest free agent signing of the offseason?

    I don't know and probably GS gets an extra discount. I'm convinced that he would be a Laker for 7 of 8 Mio. Though.

    But again I'm not a Cousins fan. I'm just saying those that came are lame. I don't care why and the reasons... We signed horrible characters and very poor fits and we lost an immensely talented young pf for a bag of peanuts.

    I’m very much looking forward to our new a-hole pg guarding Sacto’s crop of a-hole pgs at some point. Mason and Fox could use a nice elbow in the gut at some point.

    immensely talented young PF? Come on. Julius Randle was a offensive foul machine who doesn't play within any flow of any kind of offense. He was a ball stopping big. Those are the worst kind. Which is why he has earned 0 accolades in 4 years in the league and helped the Lakers to the playoffs 0 times.

    Overvaluing players is the true sign of a fan watching too much losing basketball. Randle is an average player who will stay average. He can't shoot. He couldn't average 10+ rebs a game even though the Lakers had zero rebounders. He couldnt pass out of double teams. Had no back to the basket game. His footwork sucked. I do not understand how some of you can't see what is on tape for the last 3 years? Magic and Rob are qualified to make these calls, you should lean on them when it comes to this stuff in case you have Randle Colored glasses on.

    I’m just having some fun man, it’s not that serious, it’s basketball. I hate the Kings, always will, just looking forward to beating them down in the real games as a payback for playing half their real team against us in the summer. This place is so damn negative right now, s***, can’t enjoy jack around here, we freakin landed LeBron James yesterday.

    He left on his own accord. He asked to be let go.

    I know its tough, but it's also not hard to understand. You want to be mad at someone, be mad at Mintz. He jerked around the franchise with George and then d***ed over his own client by not taking care of Randle and burning his bridges in LA.

    But at the end of the day, Rondo is our replacement for Caruso. How is that a bad thing? It's like we got LeBron and suddenly everyone forgets our roster won 35 games last year. Now we've got guys that'll mix it up, get into it, and yes are headcases. But at least we've got depth and talent. We cant account for Boogie choosing the Warriors, that's on him. We can't account for a guy wanting to leave, that's on him and his agent.

    There isn’t a need for comments like this here. No personal attacks.
