2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

The reason she loves the Clippers is because they give her the access we denied her, so she thinks that somehow is retribution against the Lakers. She is a loser.

 

yeah, shelburne hasn't had legit lakers sources for a while now. pelinka and co basically closed the door on her after she started the whole "pelinka doesn't understand the cap" thing during the AD trade saga

she's been on ballmer's payroll since then

 

Plus the fat envelopes of wads of cash Jenkins was distributing regularly to Ramona and company to uplift the Clips slander the Lakers

 

i wonder if they still pay ramona enough to have sold her soul. i mean, she's a joke. everyone knows she's carrying water for the clippers and works against the lakers using her (now limited) influence.

when she ran with the "scrambling" story, i was like...man...you better be sure. and i knew she wasn't. she just thought she was backing the right horse. wrong. fade away.

 

I gotta say it’s a pleasure hearing Mychal Thompson on this broadcast. He’s hilarious. He has some Vin Skully to him.

 

This.

 

Romona is a piece of s***. Certified piece of s***. She’s a hack.

She got famous reporting on the Lakers talking s*** about them. When they sucked. When we had Russell and Randle and Clarkson. And we gave Mozgoff max money and Luoul Deng. We were a joke. And she was laughing. It was always what is Jim Buss gonna do? When is Jeanie gonna come back and fix this team.

When Klutch came along and got her a** up outa there it was different.

This is the kind of trade the Lakers would make before where we just make reckless trades because we have to have a star.

This is b*******. We don’t need Gianiss.

We have Ayton and Reaves and Thiero and Luka and LeBron and Hachimura and Vincent and Knect. You see what I’m doing? We have depth. That’s what wins in the NBA now ask OKC depth. The super team era is over. Stop trying to bring it back and f*** our team up.

from a basketball standpoint it’s the dumbest trade. As I mentioned before. It ruins our spacing. And we are nothing. Now teams will sag Luka load on him daring Gianiss to shoot that 3.


It’s Westbrook to some degree a little bit.
Both can score at the Rim. Play fast and need the ball. And both are bad perimeter shooters.

With Reaves Ayton Luka LeBron Hachimura there is better spacing. We are scoring easier. Shooting the ball easier and better. And scoring easier and better.

this trade puts us right back in Anthony Davis territory.

Gianiss is 31. I’m good.

we’re winning. We don’t need to f*** our team up.

someone tell her to shut the f*** up and go cover the Clippers.

 

Romona is just trying to start s***.

 

Mychal Thompson is hilarious. Vando hasn’t played so long. Last time he played. Now they call him rebuilt.

 

Just really hard to keep 3 elite playmakers all down - one (or more of them) are going to start lighting it up. today AR couldn't hit the ocean, Luka was meh, and then Lebron who sucked last game went nuclear.

Ayton/Hayes are good C rotation, clearly playoff caliber, Rui/Laravi are solid roleplayers, the glaring hole is at guard. Smart is great but you can't trust his availability and his shooting. Vincent ain't cutting it. Get a good guard and this team is going to be tough to beat by any team

 

Mychel Thompson was a breath of fresh air. Dude was funny

 

agreed. He bought a lot of Joy to the game. Hey when Stu retires. I think he’s the guy.

 

So it’s a go all in on Herbert Jones and Lewis?

 

Hard disagree on Mychal

 

Funniest line.billy Mac Embiid is 275 Ibs. Mychal 275 Ibs. At 15 lol. I had a huge chuckle.

Mychel Embiid is 300 Ibs.

 

the gs/chicago game last night was interesting for a few reasons.

1. after a great start, chicago has just crashed out. losing big to gs minus draymond and curry at home is rough. they were a team i thought would make trades before the year started, then they were hot and i was like...maybe not. well, i think they should be open for business again.

2. kerr dnp-cd'd kuminga. also yikes. that dynamic has been off the whole time; very curious to see where kuminga ends up and if he's really the problem he seems to be (i.e., thinks he's better than he is and doesn't play the game the right way, etc.).

3. kerr's playing really small. he played post and tjd at center, santos for 20 minutes at pf, and other than that butler was the biggest guy that played. they still outrebounded the bulls by 13 and held them to 91 points in the year of our lord 2025.

anyway, i put this here because kuminga is going to be traded as will several bulls is my guess. we probably don't have interest in kuminga, but either situation could have some impact on the market.

 

I haven't followed them closely and last year I thought they ended the season strong with white but it does feel they have an identity crisis since he came back. The car keys aren't always in Giddey's hand now and the chemistry isn't there like the beginning of the year. Not sure what the market is for White - box score numbers can be great but the advanced metrics don't like him particularly his defense

 

Since Colby White has come back he’s destroyed any chemistry the Bulls had with Giddey. Giddey is not selfish White is selfish. So you go from a guy who’s not selfish moving the ball to White who wants to score. Who wants the ball who’s hunting stats you lose.

The same thing is going on in Charlotte with Lamelo Ball and Cole Knuepel. Cole better basketball player with instincts. Ball wants the ball and wants to just score and shoot so there you have it.
