The odd part that Lakers FO officials are scratching their head about is not that they traded Paul George, but that they did it on his timeline....
With Kawhi gone the Lakers are also working on an alternative post-LeBron plan. One player they have mused about quite a bit (key word: mused)......
Lakers are most shocked by how easily the Thunder gave up Paul George. They figured they could have forced him to play out the next year to avoid...
Favor to Klutch for helping with AD. He wasn't getting more.
@gill Yup that is an ideal scenario for them. But long road ahead to get it done.
@nzahir Westbrook was mentioned but looks like he's off the table. FO has always been intrigued by Beal. They'll look around, and see what is...

@therealdeal Yeah I was texted the wrong info. The contact sent a follow up correcting it, and I've edited the post. Sorry about that!
McGee is coming back
Lakers have heard back from Westbrook's camp. He's open to it, but does not see a clear path to the Lakers after the AD trade. Said if they can...
KCP was a favor to Klutch for AD as I've been saying. With the remaining cap - realistic options are Rondo, Cousins, McGee, Bradley. Iguodala is...
Sorry to cause a lot of confusion - but they just want to see if he's unhappy. That's all. And they haven't confirmed that yet. There's no...
