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

Now if we can get full admission to the "Basketball Reasons" we'll finally be able to see that the League screws over the Lakers just cuz..........................

 

This must be the Kuminga hold-up, Rob has inside intel that the league is about to void Kawhi's contract so we're gonna swoop in and sign him for the minimum

 

The hold up with Kuminga is money. He wants as much as he can get - guaranteed with a player option probably.

We may also be assessing other options.

 

i mean, i think everyone pretty much knew this already. pop purposely traded kawhi as far as he could from socal as possible because he knew that's where he wanted to be

it'll always be f*** the spurs

 

Spencer Jones update: his agent is looking for offers elsewhere… I might be the highest on him on these forums.

ROB, sign him my man! Denver is paralysed with the Watson situation. It’ll just take 4 million…

Jones plays defense like Caruso in wing form. He is highly intelligent so his bball IQ is very high, he has great anticipation, is always poking at the ball, is physical with a high motor and decent athleticism.

He could be our Shane Battier for the next half decade on defence.

 

damn, looks like the law firm the league hired to "investigate" the clips is running out of time in their quest to piece things together to make it seem like ballmer/the team are innocent and silver isn't happy about it

just hurry the f*** up and let us know if cheating is legal or not

 

At this rate, they have to prove them guilty or everyone is just going to sign a simple deal and teams will find SIDE ways to pay them to come to their team, and it's going to mess things up even more.

THIS is the time where I think it's funny how much sports tout about the money they earn and make and what not, because all this is going to come down to is stuff like this....

Silver thought he fixed an issue, with the Tanking stuff, but people will find loopholes so that owners get the money and players just do whatever they want too and get their money. We aren't playing for just rings and recognition, we're playing to be billionaires ourselves.

 

I would love Jones on this team, but ideally as a bench player to compliment Kuminga. I don’t think Jones has the athleticism or volume production capabilities that we need from our starter.

Like if we dump LaRavia, Jones would slot in excellently into that role

 

If Lebron and Bronny go to Cleveland like Cleveland sport's radio host is saying, are the Lakers going to release Bronny or ask for Cleveland's only 2nd rd pick in 2032?

 

dump laravia and a 2nd into space, sign jones, then do vando/kuminga

 

How bout do that with Hardy and keep Jake, then proceed with vando / kuminga?

 

I am sure he would want to run it back. Plus 3 mil in NY is not hit as hard as Cali yy

Pop was the coach. Don't think he had much influence where Kawhi went.

 

Dump Knecht, do Spencer. Keep Hardy and Jake for the deadline. Then do Vando for PJ or Kuminga.

 

Gotta sign Kaminga to a 2 year deal. Player option after the second so he can’t just bolt.

 

Gotta play hard ball.
