    You are going to be so disappointed on so many accounts, I almost feel sorry for you.

    I've heard this for years. How we can finally free up room for a bunch of superstars to come to LA. And then it never happens.

    Are you ready for Boston to trade for PG13, he re-ups there after a successful season, Lebron bolts to the Clippers? Meanwhile we've lost our best young asset just to free up cap room ... to overpay another Mozgov after we strike out on the superstars?

    That's just as real of a possibility.

    I like your optimism dude and the ever so rainbowish perspective. Not saying it isn't true or it can't be true, I'm saying I like the way you see things while everybody else is losing it.

    Oh, really, well, be prepared for our lottery pick next year (unless we get #1) to go to C Bags. We are going to be this bad again, especially if Bird doesn't budge.

    We now made a move that put us on a spot to get PG. Excellent negotiating technique from the moron :Magic Brows:

    So... unless we get to the next summer with full cap, there was no need to trade DAR now.

    And if you knew this, Magic/Luke/Rob, then benching him was even stupider than I thought. Rookies...

    Sweet. More trades. Ingram and Deng for Joe Johnson and Derrick Favors expiring deals along with the 24th pick.

    I'm good with deals. I know myself, @LaVarBallsDad, @therealdeal and several others discussed the strong possibility that the team would look very different next year and that some of our young guys would be gone.

    I can't help but feel a bit like last season though when free agency started and I was waiting for Laker news and then we got the Woj bomb that we had signed Mosgov. I think this series of moves will turn out much better than that did, but our first trade was definitely a bit deflating.

    If future trades are similar to dumping Russell for little value, then I wouldn't be surprised if the Lakers end up sending out more young talent. I just hope the Lakers get a better return than just cap space and salary dumps for the possibility of signing a FA in 2018.

    Like I said at the time, we killed his value. Our problems with Russell were the worst kept secret in the league. Couldn't even get a pick in the teens.
