    Don’t worry about the Turner backup plan reports. It’s a leak from the LAL side to maintain leverage in the final stages of negotiations.

    KD hasn't changed, he's still jealous of Stephen Curry and mad at Draymond for not bowing down and showing him the respect that he demands. He won't go to the dubs again.

    Part of me does, part of me doesn’t.

    Strictly basketball-wise Kyrie, LeBron and AD is one of the best Big 3’s in the league.

    Hield and Turner are very solid but the ceiling is lower.

    Seriously, it’s a helluva backup plan. Two very solid starting players who could complement what we have and no Russ or Kyrie headaches. Great plan B!

    Also means we don’t necessarily need to move Nunn or THT. Nunn could start at PG and THT could come off the bench with the young guys: Reaves, Stan, Jones and Gabriel.

    i'm with rambis. it's posturing from us, just like "dallas and philly are interested in kyrie" was posturing from bkn.

    i'll be surprised if kyrie isn't here in the next couple of weeks. it's a matter of what else is involved. they're trying to milk us, and vice versa.

    It seems like it. I would never believe we would get a legit superstar with Russ. It brings its problems but it can make us contend this year.

    Apart from Reaves, I'm good with anything that may be included in the deal. Hope it doesn't fall through because of Harris. He has a large contract, but I think he fits whatever superstar combinations we do.

    I'm also eyeing Dejounte in the next FA, I think he'll be a hot commodity. He and AD might suffice with a strong supporting cast. Though neither is a go get bucket which is key in tough matchups

    Roby isn’t a Klutch client so I doubt we try to get him

    I really hope we ditch the Klutch fingerprint post-Lebron, but I doubt it. Makes me sick.

    We are the F Lakers, we don't need them to succeed for f sake

    We were kinda desperate there for awhile but the whole Klutch thing has gotten totally out of hand.
