2026-27 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Reaves’ agents played this well for him.

Year 1: 41.3
Year 2: 44.6
Year 2: 48.2
Year 4: 61
Year 5: 65

They’re angling for 260+m over 5 years and not 240m like he could have signed.

I can’t blame him. Get paid. But we also can’t pretend that it’s not about the money.

 

I'm going to unignore you. Thank you for providing sense on this issue because I think you know this isn't going to work long-term. I do, too. It takes people awhile to see the light.

Just a shame that Rob couldn't even building any flexibility within the contract. He got bent over like a MF. So sad.

Lebron need to read the room. Move on. I don't think Lakers could make it any clearer.

 

This Lakers ain't what it was. I lowered my expectations about two years ago. This is why moves like these don't bother me anymore. Buss was the peak era of this franchise.

 

So why are you wasting your time here pissing in the pool?

 

Tobe Awaka is our target here with this pick?

Guess not

 

Pins and needles here regarding our plan for a big or two.

 

A goodwill gesture to make good relations with them?

 

So we bought a pick in order to sell it? Did we turn a profit?

 

Anyone know anything about Ernest Udeh Jr from Miami? Literally never seen him play, but looking at the best available I like his size - 6'11 and 266 lbs. Scouting report says he can dunk, catch lobs, and rebound well. Very well could be a goon, but curious if any posters have seen him play and could speak to whether he's a good 2-way candidate?

 

lol, f***ing clippers took veesaar to trade to atlanta. do i have that right? of course, if so.

interesting that we didn't just take malique lewis at 56--i think we worked him out?

edit: traded for 56, unyenso and veesaar go 52/53...somebody got played on our side, i'm guessing.

 

so his brother's in the nfl?

highlights look like erstwhile fan favorite stan the man johnson, lol.

who lost their two-way to him?

 

There's 3 two-way spots right? Last I remember it was Timme and Manon. Nick Smith was upgraded to the big leagues for the playoffs. So I think we can add 1 guy without cutting Timme or Manon, though that changes if another player is signed.

 

We are so back.
