    I just pray they nail the meeting. Without Luke, I'm worried to say the least.

    We have a good shot, IMO.

    ^Parsons will achieve more notoriety with us than those teams listed...nothing against those fine cities. I hope he shaves some of his asking price so we can sign another free agent of some caliber.

    i think if the lakers show parsons the money early, he's in. i'd do it. he's not all you dream of at that price point, but dammit, he's a legit nba starter.

    Any update on the labor? Is he definitely out or is there any chance he realizes how much more important this franchise is than some kid?

    Whiteside just wants to pull a DeAndre and sign with us in the end

    this surprises me. i had miami as HEAVY favorites a while back, and once it became clear that things weren't hunky dory there, i thought the lakers would be a frontrunner. i'll be curious to see what is said about the choice when it's done. whiteside seems like a weird cat.

    We will be competing with the Blazers. However, my money is on Olshey balking on giving max money to Parsons.

    I have to laugh, it's that or cry lol. I don't even want Parsons (for max), but if he's even considering us he's probably the best player to be reported to be doing so. So F it, bring on Parsons, unless Ariza or Iggy are possible dump pickups, I dunno. But yeah, earlier in the year it was Derozan and Whiteside would be nice, now it's us begging for Parsons and Biyombo. We are definitely desperate.

    Now THAT would be just be absolutely freaking hilarious... Cuban would have to be restrained from committing hari-kari.

    Yes and he's ATHLETIC. Maybe not as athletic as pre surgery, but he's still the best athlete we've had at that position since Trevor Ariza.

    blazers have some of their own FAs to deal with, too. if they beat us to anyone, we should pick at their remains. e.g., max to parsons means crabbe might be available if you're willing to pay.
