    So are we to believe Jeanie will be ok with waiving 2 players (paying their full salaries) then signing 2 more buyout candidates with the salary + luxury tax hit?

    I'm not even sure she will agree to signing new free agents as they will be costly due to the luxury tax.

    We completely blew it. At least trade DAJ/Bazemore out to save money to sign buyouts, but we couldn't even do that.

    It's over yall. Let's just see what we do with a fully healthy team. It doesn't look good but you never know. Stay positive.

    Honestly, I kind of like this. The season is over and we need to look to next year. Let these guys shine and let AD and Lebron prepare for next year.

    Washington and Chicago won't go any further than the Lakers will in the playoffs.

    What an awful measuring stick. What is even the point of this?

    It means a whole lot of angst over nothing. Nothing saves this team from AD and Lebron going MIA period.

    Our FO is completely incompetent. If we can't swing a season saving trade, then we need to swap guys like Monk (whose bird rights we don't have) for picks. Welp, too late for that too.

    Even if we make room for the buyout market, what significant player thats bought out will want to join this mess? They'll be better off ring chasing elsewhere.

    Any decent young big will be interested in the Lakers. There is the potential to stick here.

    Dinwiddie won't do any better. If that's Cuban's way of making Luka happy, im all for it. Come to LA kid... Jeanie and Rob will surround you with talent LOL

    Waiving those guys doesn't cost 35 million dollars either. 35 million dollars to be in the same position we are in now, still doesn't make any more sense today.
