    Klutch's job is only to do right by Anthony, and get him to a preferred destination (LA or NY). We have no leverage beyond that.

    Well, that's not encouraging.

    As scared as I am of Jerry West; Ingram, Ball, Wagner, #4 pick, a future first, and maybe a pick swap beats that offer.

    As much as Rob gets trashed on this board I’m sure he knows how to negotiate having been on the other side of the table representing his players.

    Griffin is no dummy he knows that the Lakers have the more coveted assets over the Knicks and Clippers. He won’t make a deal with another team without giving the Lakers one more bite at the apple. Kurt doesn’t know how to negotiate and I wouldn’t trust him to wash my car. Rob is doing exactly what he should and letting things be for a moment. In my job I negotiate multi-million dollar deals all of the time and what Rob is doing (from what I can gather) is negotiation 101.

    Sorry I'm new but was wondering who your source is and how you know about these trade details before the media would?

    Only one team out of those 4 has Lebron James. AD in a Lakers uniform looks like is gonna happen.

    As I said earlier, it sucks that we are in a position to bid against Magic's grandfather offer. The price was set 2 months ago and rejected, which makes it seem like we are asking for a discount by offering less. Thanks Klutch and Magic.

    It's a huge mistake to clean house for AD. He isn't worth the sum of all our kids plus #4 and future 1sts. A deal like this won't make our team better in the short or long term.

    That said, Rob needs to call them and include either Ball or Ingram in the deal. We need one blue chip prospect in the package along with the #4. That combo can't be matched by other suitors and it would put us at the front of the queue.

    The deal to the Clippers only makes sense if Kawhi goes there. So, lots of play here.

    Honestly, we dont know for sure. But he's not even really guaranteeing anything. If he is a troll, he is doing it with such a deft hand, it's a thing of beauty. :D

    I mean I WANT to believe him, but it's hard to without any verification. I was just curious, I'll just take it all with a grain of salt.

    As you, and I believe everyone here, should

    If he's lying, it will be revealed in time, but if he's for real, it's great insider info.

    Yes if Mr. Rambis is full of it and just trolling, I would have to respect his mastery of the craft lol

    If you read through threads, a lot of what he said was verified through the media a couple days later. Hes been on point a lot.
    Great addition to our forum.

    It looks like BI and/or Ball will be Pels bound.

    I would love to hold onto BI and if not, then Zo, but it seems like Griff is a BI fan.

    Another thing to note, that Zo and Zion didn't sign with Klutch, rather they both went to CAA. So there is that connection between the two that can be considered.
