Official Offseason News and Rumors

[DJ Fieri]

Young got 21.5 million? Lol. How many years?

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Jeremy Lin trade had nothing to do with Jeremy Lin.

He is nothing more than a contract that comes off the books next off season. The Lakers were given a first round pick just to take him. Lin is not in LA to help them win games.

+1

Rebuilding is never easy.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

He was a couple years ago not now.

Bosh is a better player then he was 2 years ago and has been injury free.
Please explain.

4. It's a good deal, imo.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Lin, Kobe, Young, Randle & Hill? 27-30 wins. At least, we keep the 1st rounder we traded for Nash.

 

[DJ Fieri]

KD in 2016 when Kobe retires!!!

It's the MLE. But, thought he was gone when we got Clarkson. That kid can play.

Clarksons a PG, Swaggy can be an SG or SF.

Hill got 2 years and 18 million?

Bye Pau.

Lin, Kobe, Young, Randle & Hill? 27-30 wins. At least, we keep the 1st rounder we traded for Nash.

Maybe.. The East is TURRIBLE and you might just miss the top 5

Lakers would be better off signing one year deals and waiting until next year. 100% chance that they land at least one elite FA next offseason.

 

[Shanemansj13]

If the Spurs get Pau. Wow! Unfair.

It's looking to me like they are targeting 2016. The 2015 FA class is starting to less exciting than it did previously.

I agree though, I think the Lakers land a max FA either next year and/or 2016. Maybe even just wait and get 2 in 2016.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Pau turned down 2 year $20 mil from Lakers

Lin, Kobe, Young, Randle & Hill? 27-30 wins. At least, we keep the 1st rounder we traded for Nash.

That pick is only top 5 protected. That team is still better than 8 teams in the east & Utah.

 

[The Oldtimer]

If he really wants to be a Laker, then he just needs to tell the Cavs no extension and play out the season.

He totally controls his own destiny.

Yep!!!

Does not mean they will have more wins though....

 

[The Oldtimer]

Bosh is making 24 MILLION A YEAR. Let that sink in.

Do I have to let that sink in? IMO Bosh isn't worth it. I think Pau Gasol is a better player and maybe the Heat should have went after him.

 

[Davis_Mike]

There is no way with Kobe playing that LA won't have more wins than Utah, Milwaukee, Philly, Boston, Orlando, & Detroit.

Maybe there is an argument if you were going to play 1 game today, but as far as investing in a player for the long term it isn't close because of Gasol's age and recent injury history.

Gasol would be an awesome get for the Spurs or any other contender, but he can't be counted on as a franchise building block at this stage.

I think you are probably right, but in the West they will likely lose a lot, and you never know. They might hit that magic ping pong ball. Stranger things have happened.

Also, you could make a case for any of Boston or Detroit to win more simply by virtue of the schedule.
