Ummmmmmm....Jerry?

You trying to steal George or Butler?

If somehow Irving ends up on the Lakers.....Wiggy better never show his face on here again. Goes back to the old FN days.

@Mecca since you was a cop why can't you have Wigg y arrested for impersonating a basketball fan

But Dion really is >> Kyrie.

I just want to say that the Warriors steam rolling fools in the Playoffs has every other Team....

Jerry knows that DeAndre is very unlikely to be a part of a championship team, might as well try to get trade value while he's in his prime.

Blake should be next.

To be fair, he said if Kyrie ever left the Cavs it would be for Lakers.

Don't you jump on the Warrios bandwagon as well

Ugh, a few hours after I deride Bropez he becomes a Laker (shakes head). At least he's an expiring contract, basically a one year bridge to Zubac becoming the starter. Getting rid of Mozgov was key, and once PG is a Laker, Russell was expendable anyway. That said, I really would've expected Russell to have more value then that; I guess not everyone paid attention to his play down the stretch last year.

He already said what needs to be done isnt always popular.

Remember when he traded Monta for broken ass Bogut?

He earned the benefit of doubt as an Executive.

So, whatever happens....happens.

Did you see they tried to flip #2 for #5 and 10?

It has nothing to do with Russell's play, no one on the team likes him, it's the same reason Howard is bouncing around from team to team.

He is immature and none of his teammates trust, nor do they want to play with him after the Swaggy P thing.

I told everyone here this months ago, and everyone told me I was an asshat for thinking he'd be traded.

I not only said he'd be traded, but said he was basically all but a guarantee to be traded.

apparently they traded away Dwight five team seven years

Glad it didn't happen. Lakers need Ball in this draft with Russell gone. No need to bend over for Indiana, they obviously aren't getting blown away with offers from anyone else.

The Cavs interest has cooled considerably.

Here's one of my posts from last month

tOfficial Lavar Ball Super Thread


"
They tried to trade him multiple times last year, it was just kept behind closed doors I believe.

No one forgot about the Nick Young incident, and the Lakers are willing to bid farewell to anyone but Ingram."


And your response was basically telling me I'm full of shit and the Lakers aren't initiating any trades for Russell.

I still don't see any urgency. Get PG next summer. The Cavs ship is sinking regardless.
