    I'm really tired of the Lakers seemingly getting stuck on 1 player that holds up our entire process while other teams somehow can work simultaneously.

    i don't think he is, unfortunately. like i said above, for the mle, great. trading players to get him doesn't help us, imo.

    i think windy means that we're trying to dump dlo or rui for air.

    sorry for the multiple posts on the same subject, but one thing that crossed my mind was that dallas moved thj to det for the exception they want to use to absorb klay AND they got grimes in the deal.

    what if we moved dlo and got kessler, then used that exception to absorb klay?

    note the eubanks signing.

    And still get Grant for Rui and Vanderbilt. That would work too.

    In my experience he doesn’t really do that, he just updates info as it becomes available. He also will mention that the Lakers were super optimistic about Kawhi as well and we saw how that turns out, so all he’s sharing is how his team sources are feeling at the moment. It may be hedging bets, but it’s probably also irresponsible to say any more than that if that’s all he has, I dunno. Who knows, they could even feed him stuff to make him look bad at some point, he knows the FO doesn’t like him :D

    Lebron was told that Kawhi was coming, by the Heyena himself probably.

    Sir, I'm not sure how to say this, but I feel like you bring up race way too much. And you're not even white.

    I think you should leave the tongue in cheek token quota white boy roster references to the white boi expert. I have truly done the research, and my takes are factual. You're just piling on and making my pasty white a** feel self conscious about my lack of melanin or ability to jump high.

    Yeah, that's my understanding. West is really packed now. Bad timing to have an aging superstar. We can still make different moves to build a good enough team that gives us a chance. That's my ceiling of expectation, which helps not over-expecting from the offseason.
    We got to the WCF two years ago with this roster. I don't think moving all of it for a new toy works. But if we do it while preserving assets, then it's an option we should consider.

    I do think at this point or we strike gold or we do terribly. We aren't making any moves, which means we are trying something bigger, let's see

    Windy said both Lakers and Mavs are looking to give Klay 4 years 70 million. Mavs are in the lead because they already have made a trade for an exception.

    How dare you, I identify as white, I can and will clown Utah and their history of big white bois from time immemorial, ancient greats from Mark Eaton and Greg Ostertag to Kessler and now Eubanks, it’s not about quota when it comes to Utah

    Windy has Bron connection.
    I really don't understand how anyone sane wants to give 4y to Klay. That's insane
