No, but like for real...what are we doing? Lakers FO doesn't leak much, so it's really tough to wait around for something to break. Meh, I'll be enjoying my 4th of July waiting for news. Something. ANYTHING.
So its done He's coming here Mitch's wand made it happen No but seriously is he even considering us or is it back to the clips? Who were his other suitors?
One thing I know is that Mitch's MO is to tell any and all of our own FA's to check in with him before agreeing to offers with any other teams. On top of that Rob Pelinka is Ed's agent and has a great relationship with LAL. I have to believe Mitch had an opportunity to match, and there must be a reason why he didn't. Hopefully that reason is something better than keeping his fingers crossed for DeAndre, but we will see.
Off trd's list: Centers: Robin Lopez, Kosta Koufos, Javale McGee Power Forwards: Brandon Bass, Luis Scola, Luc Richard Mbah aMoute Any 3's boss?
Yeah. Perfect. Had the big man in our grasp to at least put a slight glimmer in LA's eyes. Now we have neither LA or a Big and while waiting for other bigs to tell us NO in free agency we are getting killed with losing the types of guys and Ed Davis that we should have simply been adding. Well played. Definitely no offense to Russell.
Russell (4.2) JC (845k) / Brown (845k) Kobe (25) / Young (5.2) / Brown (500k) Randle (3.1) / Kelly (1.7) / Nance (1) Lee (15.5) / Black (845k) / Sacre (1) Total - 59 million 8 million left to spend on someone that won't be on the roster after next season. YAYYYYY.
Think Jahlil isn't kind of chuckling to himself with a certain type of grin on his face watching us fail like this because of that decision?
Guys I have a gut feeling the Lakers are pulling HARD on DJ This is always the doom and gloom that happens before they make a big move.
