The Show Must Go On: 2013-14 Los Angeles Lakers thread

I would think Melo would have more pride than that.

The Lakers and Nets have spoken about a deal that would send Jordan Hill to the Nets, tweets Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. Brooklyn would absorb Hill’s $3.5MM salary into its $5.15MM disabled player exception granted in compensation for Brook Lopez‘s injury, Wojnarowski notes. It’s unclear precisely what the Lakers would get in return.

Can we even get a pick from these fools? Maybe one from 2019.

brehs, how big of a an L will it be for Buss and Mitch is Melo ignores their max offer and go sign with Miami for 14mil/yr??

Pass on Melo. On First Take this morning Stephen A. Smith said Love wants to be a Laker next year. Carrie Champion was talking to him over the All-Star weekend about joining the Lakers. Signing Melo fukks that up.

It would probably be a salary dump for the most part. More than likely Hill is not going to re-sign with us, so I guess try to get out of the tax for now.

 

[CantStop]

I'd do it just because Jordan Hill deserves better.

Kidd is an awful coach but fukk'toni is awful.

I'd actually root for the Nets.

Nets have until March 10 to use $5.25M DPE for Brook Lopez injury. With tax hit on Hill $3.5M deal, cost to Nets: $17M. Not an easy sell.

17 mill ain't nothing for that Russian, make it happen. There better be more trades happening ASAP, better go all out for the tank.

All jokes aside, if we don't fire f'ucktoni, get Embiid or Exum and pair him with Love, I'ma have to holla at some Ghanaian witch doctors to put roots on that coke sniffin faggit.

Ramona Shelburne: Lakers/Nets have discussed JHill but hearing talks very preliminary. Lots of discussions going on now. AW first reported.

 

[Sinnerman]

Maybe we send the Russian enough coke, big booty strippers and vodka and then convince him to trade for Pau instead :nocacpls:

EDIT: That franchise aint going to be shyt for the next 4 years. How do you sacrifice the future of your franchise for players past their primes and a SG who should be the 3rd best player on a Championship team??

 

[PTBG]

Screamin' A did say this will "probably" be Pringles last year, but I have a feeling they are going to keep him for the duration for his contract though.

 

[Zabi]

It better be his last season.

The Los Angeles Lakers have had discussions on a deal to send forward Jordan Hill to the Brooklyn Nets, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The Nets have a $5.25 million disabled player exception that they can use in a trade or free-agent transaction until March 10, and could use a portion to absorb the remaining $3.5 million on Hill's expiring contract.

Nevertheless, the luxury tax penalty on absorbing Hill's contract would be extraordinary for Brooklyn: Nearly $17 million. Hill could give the Nets a capable power forward and center replacement for a run at the postseason, but ultimately ownership would have to be willing to sign off on expanding its record $190 million-plus combined payroll and luxury tax.

Hill, 26, has never been a favorite of Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni and struggled to find minutes in his system. It is doubtful that Hill would re-sign with the Lakers as a free agent this summer with D'Antoni still the coach, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Hill has averaged 8.5 points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes for the Lakers.
