Vando still isn't traded

 

Maybe Dallas fans will feel a little better lol . After all brown won a championship and arguably the MVP.

 

Hopefully he don't regress and build on top of it and comes back in even better shape and sport some cuts.

 

Simmons under LA's bright lights? What can go wrong...
Im 100% sure, i would do more for our team out there than this sucker. Hell to the NO.

 

One could argue we don’t even really have forwards lol

 

Are you saying that this is because of the significant divisions between people with different political views? That’s definitely a problem—on many topics, it’s hard to even start a conversation with people from the “opposing” camp (I really hate that), but on CL we had plenty of discussions that were just fun and sometimes deep, and didn’t touch on those topics at all. It’s not easy, but it’s possible—at least as long as everyone maintains discipline and refrains from comments that attack “the other side.”

It seems to me that this part of the forum could work better here too if only there were a few more of us .

Back to topic, I can't believe I'm rooting for this, but... Kuminga, please.

 

One thing I can say with certainty about this squad, with Kessler as our anchor we can build a solid defense around him with the players we have. Scheme it out and practice it religiously. Everyone needs to know where the help will be and the rotations they need to make. Then rebound. We should be able to do that. It is always nice to have a Rodman and a Pippen but we can be a good defense.

 

Mamu and Jake certainly are or can be at least “mediocre”.

 

Yeah I think they just cheap and don’t want to pay anybody. Jaylon is in his prime.

 

We don't know what is Cream Abdul Jabbar can do on defense

 

Crazy how little interest Kuminga is getting around the league. Absolute steal if the Lakers can get him.

He needs to be molded into being an OG Anunoby-type player for the Lakers. Just focus on grabbing rebounds, knocking down open shots, cutting to the basket, and playing good perimeter defense and he'll carve himself a really nice NBA career.

Rather have him than Rui. I think the Rui experiment is over and with Sandro being there, it doesn't really make sense for Rui to have a spot anymore to cut into his minutes.

 

Lebron and Rich Paul. Damn. He wanted to be happy. He wants extereme happiness. What was so bad about playing here??? I guess Luka being the guy really got to him. What an ego. You can’t win with that man. Everybody has to be on the same page and buy in. He did it with AD. I wonder man. I guess it was best he just not come back. Cause even if he did that cloud would be all over this team. Take Rich Paul’s courtside seats back. And like my boy said no statue. We bent over backwards for this guy. Jeanie got emotional didn’t need to say it. LeBron just really couldn’t handle the Luka and Reaves thing. Rich was his mouthpiece.

 

perfectly said.

 

FWIW, I have seen those kinds of off topic areas of many other sites go away over the last decade as well. It seems more common than not.

 

Yeah, I mentioned this already a few pages back. Actually LaRavia + 2033 2nd for Kuminga (Sign-and-Trade) starting at 13.5 million might be the cleanest option for the Lakers and the Hawks. We still end up about 4 million under the 1st apron with that trade. We made a similar trade with Atlanta that involved a one for one player swap with us sending out a 2nd at the deadline when we sent out Vincent and a 2nd for Kennard. Hopefully later we could recover another 2nd in a possible Bronny trade.
