    To be fair, it's easy to join a LBJ team

    I don’t recall DeMar, Turner and Hield ever being an option?

    Pretty sure both DeMar and Hield scenarios would have involved sending out Kuz, so we couldn’t have done both. Don’t recall us being liked to Turner until after we got Westbrook and were looking at teams to dump him to

    I'm not saying all 3 at the same time, but we had close deals to aquire them over Westbrook. And yes Turner and Hield were spoken a lot about before the trade for Westbrook. I remember constantly hearing it on the radio

    Yeah, knew the TPMLE was never ever a remote option.

    :LLLLLebronlaughing:

    f*** him. Wish Doc was still there. They deserve each other. Guess his culture setting wasn't needed anywhere.


    Curious to see how their rotations shake out. They have some good pieces there. Nice value on him too.

    Houston's really trying to be competitive while they're without picks.

    [​IMG]
    More players are going to try to get embarrassed by the Lakers and run off by their own team. $20m a year for that clown? That's one of the worst deals I've seen this free agency.


    What happened to his big pay day? I was told it was coming this summer.

    Likewise, it makes things easier for me to get to consolidate my vitriol to mostly one team.

    I’m already always rooting for the Clippers to fail, so this is like killing two birds with one stone.

    Plus, it will be fun to see when the Russ honeymoon period is over and the Clips start to implode

    thanks for doing the legwork here. as much as i'm anti-cheapskate, if you're close to getting out of repeater territory, you probably just do it.

    hadn't thought of it that way, makes sense.

    i'm scared just because we see so few huge FAs change teams these days. that's what saved us. are we going to get more chances? i fully believe in rob in terms of that recruitment process and the ability to build around stars. but the opportunity has to present itself.

    really like him at that figure. we have vando, so prince makes more sense for us, but this is a good signing.
