Dear God...lol

@tlance

Ouch.

Getting rid of that contract takes the sting out of this a bit.

the Wiz are seriously a clueless organization. So terribly run.

Dear God...lol

Dan Gilbert?

@bksballer89

Dear God...lol

i feel bad for Lonzo.

the baggage is just awful.

If Lonzo did not have the hype out of college and did not have his dad clinging to him- i would feel a lot better about him as a solid NBA point guard going forward-

his value as a trade asset is just not there- if he is traded to the Hornets LaVar is just gonna whine and complain in the media

 

[WiggyRuss]

@ChiefsLakers67 just knowing you and your personality- i bet you are just so sick of LeBron and his demand of trades and hearing LaVar Ball talk and all of this drama.

this is the bad part about having LeBron

by far LeBron is worth having- but it does not come without a cost.

We'll see in 4 years. I feel like if he doesn't get you at least a title then it wasn't worth it.

If the Lakers are not winning titles/making finals then no this will not be worth it.

We'll see in a few years.

You’re gonna have nights when Barnes can’t hit an open shot to save his ass and nights when he’s unstoppable. But almost as important - you’re getting a seriously squared away dude who is as prefect a locker room presence as you can ask for as well as a guy who backs it up in the community. Most Mavs fans are big Barnes fans.

For us - we have a max deal slot. And with Luka & Kristaps in place, we have talent to lure a big fish.

It’s a win/win.

If Barnes does enough to help the Kings make the playoffs, it'll definitely be a win for them. And from everything I've read he's a great guy which should help the locker room and chemistry of the team.

I have a bad feeling about this.....

It won't be THAT bad...

I definitely give the Lakers the edge of the Kings on the plyoff race---- but the Kings seem to have positive momentum and positive chemistry and just added Barnes and Burks- and Burks is actually not a bad bench scorer either.

The Lakers on the other hand seem to be coming apart at the seams.

I just listened to Rick Buchers pod cast and he spoke to Rich Paul not long ago.

Bucher is saying that the Lakers think that Paul leaked the names in the trades and that the Lakers are pissed off at Paul how the whole situation has been ahndled with Davis.

lol, well I have no idea what "my personality" has to do with it, but yes, this is one of the things I feared LeClown and his monumental ego would bring to our franchise...

Nice move, Bucks.

Mirotic is a good add.

Butcher said that?

Is he guessing or did Paul tell him that?

 

[WiggyRuss]

he said Paul denied that he leaked the names when he spoke to Paul

but he said that he spoke to someone in the Lakers organization that is insistent that Paul was the leaker and that Paul and the Lakers are not currently on good terms.

its on his Itunes podcast that he did today.

go to itunes and search rich bucher and friends- itll ome up right away

It's also an example of what Durant's bitch ass meant about a toxic environment.

I don't blame LeBron for wanting the Lakers to improve that roster.

He is in his late prime.

But, he brings the circus with him wherever he goes.

Shumpert was a big part of the great chemistry, hopefully trading him won't cause them to go downhill. Lakers seem like more of a mess right now but LeBron can make up for that.

With or without Lebron the future isn't looking to bright. From the looks of it you can't even attract FA's with Lebron (still will be determined in FA) and Magic is making himself and the organization look like a fool. I guarantee Lebron came to L.A. not just for the city and the history of the organization but bc Magic said he would do whatever it takes to win. The past drafts did not help the Lakers, bc right now their players aren't worth shit in deals and the Pelicans made that point and made Magic look like a fool.
I would say right now, the Cavs are looking better 2-3 years down the road than the Lakers if they cannot get a big time FA now or this offseason.

 

[msgkings322]

Oh... no doubt about that.

I'm not so sure, they had a pretty good thing going before Cousins got hurt. Lotta bad luck when he did.

Why didn't you say so before?

lebron signed that 3 year deal with a 4th year player option

by the end of year 3--- think of what the Cavs might have---- multiple top lotto picks, tons of cap space, boatloads of extra picks, some intruging young players.

LeBron/Cleveland round 3 in a couple years? LeBron will of course be nothing close to the #1 player in the league by then- but if he wanted to play 3rd option to Zion and Cedi id let him if he licked Gilbert's boots! lol
