Well better two of them (if one is Bonga) than one of BI, Kuz, Zo or Hart. Even if Moe and Svi together and some picks if it brings Kawhi from Toronto over a barrel at the deadline. Still better than one of those four. I know I love Wagner and Svi though already. Last in .... first out though is better from my player fan position before I get too attached seeing them do well in the real games if and when that happens. All four above have already been there and done that.

 

I blame him. He should have taken a more professional tact and say thank you to the Lakers for drafting him, to his teammates, and to Lakers fan for the support. There were 6 teams that didn’t pick him, and who’s to say the 8th would have if we didn’t at 7th.

I hate when players do this type of stuff even if they feel the franchise wronged them. Show some basic respect and be a man about it.

 

I agree LT, having Bullyius on the squad woulda been amazing...but I don't think we really did him dirty.

We grabbed Bron, reupped KCP, agreed to Lance and McGee with exceptions and came to terms with Moe on day 1 of free agency. We had 85.7m in potential salary to 9 players and if you consider the 800k incomplete cap holds to the unsigned Sv33 and Bonga then we had roughly 87.3m in team salary to 11 players with 14.6m in cap space to offer Jules (which Jules 12.4m cap hold fits into).

We ended up meeting with Jules/Mintz on the 2nd day of free agency, and probably told them we can give 14.6m or more on a 1 year deal. They said no and we moved on with Rondo, while dude signed for 8.6m with NOP.

Even with 14.6m in cap, we coulda had Rondo and Jules in that amount with roughly 7.3m each, meaning Jules would sacrifice roughly 1.3m from what he's getting paid now and Rondo woulda sacrificed roughly 1.7m from what he's getting paid now...but again, Mintz and Jules decided against it....so its time to move on.

I don't buy that we screwed Jules over. I don't like how it was handled, but I can't blame Mag/Rob for it.

Jules essentially said that he does not want to play in LA cause he wanted more playing time since Bron would take up the minutes, yet he joins a front court with 7 players headlined by AD in NOP. Stop feeding everybody the BS and just tell it how it is...Mintz wanted to stick it to LA by leaving and did so sacrificing some of Jules/Paula's bag in the process. Well now I hope all of his clients fade into obscurity and they fire his lame a**.

 

zbo/koufus for deng/zu/1st min protection/2nd top 40 protected

we can use zbo to counter the likes of randle n any other bigs who like to bang in the paint, koufus at this pt in their career is more useful player than Zu. both expires this the pick

 

^^^You had that type of proposal for months now and I still like it. I'm not sure what Vlade is waiting for...no one is going to go to Sac and be happy about it...bring in as many youngns as you can and sure it will cost you taking on Deng, but you're only losing expiring Ks that are not part of the core and don't project to have heavy minutes next season anyways. A deal with Sac makes way too much sense....which unfortunately means it won't happen.

Meanwhile, some news out of Htown

Spoiler: NSFW: Language

Ooooh, and Melo finally signed his deal with Houston.

Also, get ready for next summer...its gonna be a wild one headlined with NY/BK setting up for 2max slots and Ky/Butler feign'n to team up...

Speaking of the Knicks, seems like Courtney Lee is on his way out...

 

I would like to see Ky/But go to the Knicks. The East would be interesting then about on par with the west.

Courtney Lee got us game 1 against the Orlando Magic in the Finals. I’ve always appreciated that gift from him.

 

Game 2.

 

Shams to the Athletic/Stadium...

He starts on August 24th there and if he has anything from Kawhi's camp, I'm sure he'll drop something during that time for his official jump-off there.

 

Man, Yahoo keeps getting their top talents poached, sucks to be a small market team.

 

the big players really need to be poaching whoever discovers their talent, right?

 

There's only one active player on that list and oh, Kemba's a free agent next summer. Juss sayin...

And they really trying to get off of Anderson's deal, but Riles like nah.

 

I don’t know who those players are, but someone tell Mintz they got a better contract than Julius Randle.

 

Klay to LA is wildly a stretch...so let's look at our options next summer.

Klay... probably not
Kyrie-Bron reunion... probably not
KD... Coulda joined Bron this summer, so why wait till next summer?
Butler...rumored to wanna join Ky instead of Bron
Boogie...maybe, but how we passed on him this summer rubs him the wrong way next summer
Kemba...maybe?

This is why Kawhi has to work out for us imo. We clearly know something which explains all the 1yr deals.

 

Did Nick Young sign anywhere this summer? Just curious, after his year with GS? Not asking as a candidate for Lakers again.

 

Are you sure?
