    Always thought the beal stuff seemed plucked from behinds. Washington doesn't have incentive to move him--contrary, actually, imo.

    I think Griffin needs to realize that Disgruntled players rarely yield quality returns. He's being a bit greedy at this point IMO and is loosing leverage by the day.
    I just hope the Lakers realize this and don't over/under play their hand.

    wow. we lost ball, ingram, hart, 3 first rd picks, 4th pick.... we got shafted IMO.

    I thought we had the leverage though?!!? we gave up a TON here. yikes.

    that max slot for this summer, does that go to AD? or how does that work?

    i don't understand how we can afford lebron, AD, and max slot in the same year? someone please enlighten me?

    Bulls dropped out as they were unwilling to offer additional assets to the Pelicans. Pelicans decided they wanted an extra pick from the Lakers instead to finish the deal. Griffin hardly appears like the "loser" here. Happened fast and quietly, as I expected...

    Best,
    Mr. Rambis

    sad to see zo and BI go. zo especially

    guy is so damn good at everything aside from scoring and they're really going to miss his defense. if this doesn't help the lakers land another big name then i don't think anything will

    This is a lot to give up, but I believe no one here will be complaining when a 3rd max guy signs, ring chasers come on down, and we’re in the WCF at the minimum next season (and when we have AD for the next 4 years after this one). This is also good because it ends any talk of a CP3 trade here.

    That’s honestly what I expected the deal to consist of. Glad we get to keep Kuz at least.

    LBJ + AD LETS GO!
