@fightinfunbags Raps doing the job for you.

I gotta say- surprised the Raps are 2 games under .500

VanVleet
OG
Barnes
Siakam
Poeltl

pretty damn good starting lineup

Gary Trent Jr. is a good bench player.....

Is that the debate?

Who fits better or who was the better player?

Because, the answer to the latter is Pippen.

If we are talking about a number 2, fit is just as important.

Can’t just be about who is the best player.

For example, Westbrook was the best player available to the Lakers last season. But the fit was awful.

Hillbilly Kobe came through in a huge win.

AD with another lackadasical performanc on offense again.

I don’t think you’re giving the proper respect to the Magic. I don’t think the league has ever seen a team 14 games under .500 as good as this team that’s 14 games under .500.

The only thing I can think of is they don't want to pay the tax that would be added. 10 days still count towards the tax. Because basketball wise, there's zero reason to not sign someone. Even if they only give you 10 minutes and 6 fouls, its better than nothing

If ownership is going to play poor with one of the biggest names in sports, they need to sell. Tomorrow.

No more Kardashians, especially not a 6'9 "center" that hasn't played all year.

To what end? This team isn’t going anywhere. With the tax the real cost is like 3 or 4 times what they would be paying.

What is the real cost of a 10 day contract lol? $61-175K depending on experience. Bring in a kid from the g-league like Jayce Johnson on the cheap. Rebounder/shot blocker at 7' 245lbs, 25 years old. If they're worried about cost, go young, not Tristan Damn Kardashian.

The Lakers are currently set to pay $32 million in luxury tax

Cry me a river. How much do they make a year in profit? They had $465M in revenue in 21/22, only the Warriors had more (about 300M more lol).

Just saying they don’t have to pay luxury tqx if they don’t want to. Fans shouldn’t just expect it.

It was a needed win so we didn't lose ground....
