Here we go again with thsi tampering crap. Giannis can recruit AD and joke about it but LeBron says it would be amazing to play with AD and it's tampering...got it. I'm so sick of these small market pieces of s*** talking s*** and blocking our trades...
Magic says Giannis is going to win MVP=Tampering Other GM's says nice things about other players not on their team=just paying a compliment
Woj has it out for us I think so take any speculative thing he puts out about us with a grain of salt. But also, screw everyone. Our next championship will be oh so sweet considering how every other team is trying to stop it from happening. They cry foul when we do it but its perfectly fine when someone else does it.
I only posted that article about tampering to show how petty the league is when it comes to us and how afraid they are. That’s why we get fined for tampering when other teams don’t, because every owner goes crying to Silver and he buckles because he works for them. The NBA has existed in some form since 1947, and we have 16 titles in that time, but maybe even more impressively have 31 Finals appearances. Boston is 2nd to that with 21, that’s how dominant we’ve been. That’s why the league fears us, they know when we get back on top we stay there for long periods, and even if we aren’t winning it all we are there at the end.
G dammit I love the s*** you come up with to support your Lakers centric conspiracy theories. Really.
Thx LT... But what's the conspiracy really? We jumped all over Kcp when he became available. Bron comes the next year. So what could happen this coming summer? There is precedence, no? AD says he's frugal, yet buys a 7.5m house in LA county for him and his pet monkey. Seriously tho, he just had a baby with his girlfriend in May '18...then closed on his LA mansion in June... And it was reported publicly on July 2nd. Then free agency happens, Boogie and Rondo are gone... The Pels aren't projected to really be a title threat, let alone a playoff lock. News hits the fan that AD is ditching his long time agent in Sept. Then he signs with Klutch/Rich Paul even tho Nop is a lock to offer him the supermax (ie you don't need a new agent to negotiate terms...the supermax is a set contract). Seriously, where's the conspiracy? He's setting up a probable exodus and yall in denial if you think he's not. #LAD (speaking of which, Magic's Dodgers just made a big time move)
Yeah I just posted in Dodger discussion should I be excited about Hunter Bailey? And the minor league prospects for Puig, Kemp and Farmer plus cash? How old and how good is Bailey?
Btw that 87.3m number is grossly overstated. They're assuming he goes with a 30% max 5 yr deal in 2020 as an unrestricted free agent. I tried to detail earlier in this thread how that number would be closer to $16m if he chose to go the trade route and then went with a 1+1 deal to establish eligibility for the 35% max...which would be the same payment multiplier as the supermax.
Hunter Bailey and Anthony Davis are really good friends. This trade was orchestrated by Magic to help lure AD. OK. That's not true at all, nor does Bailey have any reason to be in the AD discussion thread. I always keep things on topic......I mean, look at this basset hound with no body!
Pels need to be 7-8 games away from the 8th spot nearing the trade deadline for us to have a good shot at A.D
And if AD truly wants to live in that amazing new 7M home in Westlake with his family most of the year he has to finally be the one major FA to be that really does cut off all hope of any other team that he would ever change his mind about staying with them after they have topped the Lakers best trade offer and gutted their roster for him. Can Klutch help with that?
