    If you are a true pro, you add the picture before you write the post. That’s next level stuff.

    Lakers are going to end up with AD AND Max and every garbage media outlet Ballmer paid is going to eat CROW.

    I've tried so hard to not let myself believe we'd get Kawhi so I wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't happened... but after the expanded trade to open a max contract, AD waiving the trade kicker, and the report of a scheduled meeting with Kawhi all happening the same day... I've finally converted to optimism!

    It's been awhile since i've been happy about the Lakers. That feeling is slowly coming back. Lets hope Rob (really Rich Paul, Lebron, AD) gets this done:

    Just wanted to say "thank you" (again) to Barnes and all the good people @ LB.
    We all know, CL would be still down after the AD news. Add the fact, that we now have cap space for Kawhi...

    Pour a drink for CL right now. Man, that place would be decently lit right now with all this news. People would be spamming so much.

    Probably be a bunch of little 12 year olds too freaking out where all us older people, would now be the ones doing all the NB4 stuff to them.

    Good times.

    .... or in abject horror realizing you didn't think your post through well and trying to delete it quickly before getting hammered. :D

    I know I know .... waits for everyone. :giggle: :p

    Just wanted to post this before anything goes down on the Kawhi front, either today or tomorrow:

    Obliviously i'll be disappointed and depressed if we don't land him, but I won't be mad at the FO if we don't land Kawhi and are stuck filling the roster with left over role players. We had to wait the moment we had even a sliver of a chance to sign Kawhi. We avoided some really horrible contracts anyways and at the end of the day we still have Bron & AD =)

    Very mature and very true. Yet I‘ll pout and complain like a child if we don’t get Kawhi now, bc by now it feels like we should. At least he shouldnt go to the Clips.

    Yea I will too, probably. In fact, I will blame Rob, but just putting my statement out there before my emotions get the best of me.

    I’m in Vegas this week, and just checked the odds at the Sports Book on the Lakers winning the Championship next year. Down to 1.5 to 1. That’s the lowest yet.
