    I think Friedman Zaid have clearly said by their statements that they’re not going to make a move to make a move tie up the cap.

    expected

    1. Austin
    2.Rui
    3.Lebron

    this team led by Walter and Zaidi and Friedman will not be pushed around by Lebron or crazy demands by Klutch. They just won’t. Look at the Dodgers culture.

    everything is Team. They are doing it like I want them to do it and like I said.

    They want to clean up the organization first.

    overhaul of Front office.

    getting Rob help with scouting.

    Bio Chemic lab chamber. Letting guys know the top treatment for you top medical for you will be here.

    no more bad medical no more bad training. So this off season the word is perception.

    and it’s being put out to the league and players the Lakers are doing everything 1st class top of the line here. And Gugenheim is the team you want to play for. I’m here for it.

    Major money and contracts will only be spent on Jokic Gianiss or Wemby or Peyton Watson.

    Meaning to you. The Lakers can’t do nothing until we know what’s up with Jokic.

    Luka’s comments last press conference was telling. The smile. It’s no secret they’re boys.

    and low key Denver is imploding. If what was happening in Denver was happening in San Antonio we would be saying oh s*** Wemby can come here. Look at Minnesota. We don’t know.

    what I do know is they’re going to make a panic move to keep Ant man happy. Ayo over pay??? Jah??? Who knows. We can do a small move Keon Ellis.

    I don’t know what Jokic does. The ahhh shucks. hides that he’s competitive as f***. he wants to win. And I don’t know if Denver can put a winner around him. The owner might want to tear it all down.

    Peyton Watson is still in play. And if he has interest here in L.A. the Lakers which I think he does we will pursue. We are always open to Gianiss.

    but the main cog is flexibility for Jokic. That’s the elephant. Nobody expected LeBron in Miami. Luka needs to do his job and recruit.

    let other teams blow their cap and not be able to pursue Jokic. It will be interesting.

    And slick Cleveland has James Harden out there who looks like Homer Simpson on the perimeter and Attkinson doesn’t make the adjustment and put slicks favorite player Keon Ellis on Jalen Brunson. lol. What’s up with Cleveland??? That could’ve helped.

    Hartenstein is a piece of s***. He would’ve got his a** kicked doing that to a lot of guys.

    if it was Oakley he’d still be knocked out. You could see Wemby visibly pissed thinking I want to whup this dudes a** talking to the ref. Saying no my guys need me. Back in the day some guy on the team would give him a four arm shiver to the face and then look up like I don’t know what happened. What was that????

    Interesting. Maybe this is the go all-in move we make, after the realization that Wemby might dominate the league the next 5-7 seasons. What would a trade look like? I guess everything but the kitchen sink. Reaves + #25 + 2031 1st + 2033 1st + 2033 2nd + Ayton + Knecht + LaRavia for Jokic + Nnaji (Dump). Not sure if this works, but we also need to give them salary relief.

    Well, come on guys, OKC has earned the rights to hold players, pull hair, step on feet and then flop whenever you breath on them because it is good for the league. I would say these refs need to be held accountable but the truth is, they are being held accountable by the league oligarchs and OKC is who they want to succeed. You get what you pay for and apparently we are all paying for this.

    Jokić is going to be a one team man.

    Watching the fake MVP flop all over the floor made me sick.
    I was actually astonished the times in which he didn’t throw himself down after a jumper in which no one came close to touching him.
    PATHETIC.
    This type of crap has completely nullified his MVPs in my eyes.

    They allowed BeerdoMcFloppington to get away with it for years.

    yeah, and for all the fear about luka leaving here, i don't foresee that, either. these guys want to win where they are. jokic has already done it, too, so anything else is gravy, imo.

    He would most definitely call him out for this B.S. either in the media or from his non burner Twitter Account.

    Sort of, they are still all chasing Russell, Jordan, Magic, Bird and Kobe. Winning a lot of rings is the ultimate bragging rights and without them, you are just another good player. You want a legacy of greatness, you have to win RINGS. Even Lebron feels the weight of not winning as many rings as those other guys.
