Lakers 2016 Season Thread

So do I tomodach and then keep our top three protected. Two number ones and a two this year would really help.

On point ram. No more worrying about DMC to Lakers. I hope we get a first round pick for lou.

Not until the summer of 2018 anyway. This trade just stripped most of the advantage of re-signing with Pelicans away. Cousins will be firmly in play as a FA in 2018. He just lost $30M because of that trade.

Looks like the Lou Williams-to-the-Wizards trade is gaining traction. Right now it is about 50/50.

Carmelo Anthony has also stated that if the Knicks are going to move him, he'll wave his no-trade clause if he goes to the Lakers or Clippers. I wouldn't want this ball-hog because our youngsters would suffer and probably end-up standing around watching again like when Kobe was still playing. Word is that the chances of the Knicks moving Anthony are not good. I don't want Butler either.

At least Metta knows what he is talking about.

World Peace says the Lakers shouldn’t have traded Ingram for Cousins

The Lou Williams-to-the-Wiz is getting hotter as the trade deadline continues to get closer. Could be a protected first rounder or maybe two seconds. WE shall have to see how this plays out as the Jimmy Butler talk with the Bulls is fading. The Bulls want too much and just like in the DMC talks with Sacramento, the Lakers FO apparently isn't parting with Clarkson and Randle either.

Wait...is that the same Mike Adamle from fucking American Gladiators? Yeah...not sure I'm listening to NBA talk from a guy who use to get all jazzed up about men named Nitro and Malibu on some monkey bars.

That said...American Gladiators was the shit.

From what I heard, it wasn't the Clarkson and Randle that killed the DMC deal, it was the Kings insisting that they include Ingram. Have you heard something different?

Mitch and Short buss gone!!!!!

 

[shopson67]

Not so sure of the timing as far as getting anything done before the trade deadline now, but wow!

Glad to see Jimmah gone, and I suppose Mitch goes as his yes man. Replacement? Inside (Jesse Buss, Ryan West, Glenn Carraro) as interim?

Damn....Magic moved quick on those firings. I figured it was probably happening at year's end, but it appears he certainly has Jeanie's ear.

The Mozgof and Deng signings where atrocious. It handicaps the Lakers ability for a while. They need to hope for a good trade and a good draft. Otherwise they need to ship some of our young guys out for value before they demand bigger contracts. I also think this is the reason they did not trade Ingram in the Cousins deal, hes on a rookie contract for a while.

Lakers Rumors: Magic Johnson Wants Kobe Bryant To Take Player Relations Role - Lakers Nation

 

[Retroram52]

Looks as though Magic is looking for a GM. We shall see how this all transpires. One thing for sure. Short Buss and Kupchack are outta there. Probably means Lou Williams is gone but we shall have to wait on that.
