Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com's Ramona late Friday that a sign-and-trade arrangement with the Bulls has not been struck, with the Lakers still looking for draft compensation -- as they received in Friday's earlier trade with Houston to take back the contract of Jeremy Lin -- as the primary return for Gasol.
Also, if they do a sign and trade with Chicago for Gasol, they need to get Mirotic back in that deal. Gasol and Nash for Boozer and Mirotic.

Per ESPN, Bulls and Pau are "closing in on a deal" without a sign-and-trade. Lakers are seeking draft compensation. es.pn/1q52pcp

Julius Randle...I'm starting to really consider how inconsequential Kobe's big contract is now that all this has happened. What kind of difference could we have made with this FO if Kobe was getting 11 per year? These idiots tanked a whole year only to have NO PLAN B when Melo, who we didn't even hear a single thing about being a Laker till this summer, doesn't come? Really? We banked on Melo coming and plan B was getting Jeremy Lin to boost ratings?
Shameful, absolutely shameful. I take no more pleasure in the Heat fans taking a colossal L. I'm done laughing at other teams, we look poised to be garbage for a DECADE.
@GreatestLaker was right all along about this insufferable idiot Mitch. I mean how can Lin be your plan B? That is beyond me. I was hoping and thinking they would work out something with Ariza, Stephenson and maybe some of the other low key players to build a 2009 type of team but this right here is absolutely breathtaking.

Exactly breh.
I did all that talking a few pages back, trying to uplift #LWO's morale......but I was wrong. Our front office REALLY IS fukked up
Jeremy Lin is who we wind up with for our "big 2014 plan"
This cant be life brehs
Kobe's contract is not making the FO trade for Lin or making free agents uninterested. Its the fact we have NO plan and just trying to convince people to go to LA for off the court stuff![]()

at this pile of
coming our way.
Watch Dunleavy Sr. become the coach now, TWC needs those ratings brehs.
