[My neck and my back]

Whatever options GSW might theoretically pursue to replace Harrison Barnes are getting snapped up (Batum, Deng, Crowder helping to recruit KD for Boston). It's looking likely he returns as GSW's highest paid player

If theyre 4 years from contending then you have to start signing outsiders before the rookie deals run out

D'Angelo russell gets paid in 19/20

Lakers shoulda been looking to sign guys in 17/18 and 18/19

Guys will be more comfortable coming to la once they see what russell and ingram can do

They dont have thay option now cuz theyre capped out

If the lakers fukked up you owe me 100. If they played it right i owe you an apology.

Deal?

What kinda deal is that lol.

I think the next 2 years will be evaluated and see if they need 2 move anybody from the core. If not a few light signing but nothing major until the other deals are up. They probably got player or team options on the last year of those deals which would leave them room 2 sign amax player with hopefully and established core ready 2 compete by then. Kinda how golden state did. Unless someone just completely breaks out as a star then things change i think unless its d'angelo and then things don't change

Bro im not saying they have to tank, im saying play with what they got

I think russell is an all star
I think ingram is an all star
I think randle and clarkson are excellent pieces
I think nance is a great guy off the bench

Id rather let these guys show the league that they have the buidling blocks for a championship team and then sign REAL talent instead of signing a bunch of old injury prone dudes to huge deals



Coulda gave pau gasol 2 years 40 mil

I hear you.

I would def be down with that if we retained the Tank Commander.

I'm just not sure who(that could help the young core and Lakers) would actually sign with the Lakers with those #s you have been posting. Hiring Luke was a huge sign the Lakers were moving forward while changing the culture. Need to get rid of it ASAP.

Durant or Gasol or it was a meh free agency period for us.

Nice article on the Dubs from TK:

After the Warriors' Kevin Durant meeting...

And one from MT2:

Warriors (and Jay-Z?) hope Kevin Durant is lured by something special, but aren't holding their breath - Marcus Thompson II

If not Durant, I hope yall get Gasol over the Spurs.

Good fit with Drummond

 

[jaguar paw]

Delladova don't even look like he can dribble

He can't.

That's why he usually posts when there is ball pressure.

 

[Originalgangsta317]

I know

That's why 40 million for him is absurd as shyt

 

[Man On Fire]

Mike Conley got 30 million per year

 

[DonKnock]

[JackRoss]
