    Absolutely not, Vuc is the last type of center this team needs now. We need a rim protector/lob threat type. Vuc can’t do either.

    I feel like this was a shadow move to free up some room for more deals. Probably a genius move, and Utah walks away with 2 more draft picks.

    Also, maybe it's a way for us to get that center, but not tie the two deals together "officially" since matching payroll and perceived value are harder for a low dollar contract guy.

    Aint s*** worth lebron frim gsw....and they don't have a big enough collection of salaries to match brons outside of curry. Kuminga is overrated asset AF. GSW fans blame Kerr for not playing kuminga as much and not starting him, Kerr knows better, cant say a 4x chip coach doesnt know what talents works n doesnt all of a sudden

    I hope we can still get some kind of decent Center to make a run this year.

    the team played amazing last night without AD in NY

    this may not be possible, especially given how salty most GM's will be with the Lakers for not even being able to make a bid for Luka, but I think almost everyone feels this way.

    The 4th call was to his wife to tell her to put the nice lingerie on.

    I guess this new CBA, isn't the Superstar trade killer, it was touted to be after all.

    So...do we back off, on the excessive angst, about this mythical "Laker's tax" stuff now, moving forward?

    Sometimes I wonder if he's paid just to have contrary views.

    unless we're interested in a couple of their picks, I don't see why Lebron would want to go to GSW now, their roster is considerably worse than ours.

    That’s impressive in this day and age to keep something this big quiet for that long. Plus I guess not every GM hate Pelinka either.
