2018 NBA offseason

[Wamu]

I know.

Being a smart ass. Have we met before sir?

No who the hell are you? Sure I will always talk shit about the Lakers. But I have always given the organization the credit it deserves.

Now back to regularly scheduled programming. I miss Jimmy Buss!

Not to worried about losing Randle. He played well in a contract year.

Fools gold.

Plus we had to renounce him for something bigger to happen.

your boy Simmons that you thought was hilarious a couple days ago

Coming from a lifelong Laker hater - thank God they’re completely botching this Summer of LeBron roster, I really appreciate it. Seriously, thank you.

He's passed out on Venice beach. Go say hi!!!! He likes to have visitors.

I just had the pleasure of telling Paul Pierce about Rondo signing. He was in his car on way to studio and hadn't heard. That was something. He'll be on the free agency special on ESPN2 at 7 ET.

Will say I respect his ass a lot. He was at Laker facility working out daily. Professional.

 

[flyerhawk]

Surprised by this. Definitely expected him to get paid more than that.

Looks like the Pels are getting ready for life without Boogie.

 

[WiggyRuss]

wtf.....Randle just signed a deal for 9M per year? why not give that to him instead of Rondo or KCP?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Surprised by this. Definitely expected him to get paid more than that.

yah me too- ithought he could get 16 a year

i think this just shows that there is no cap space in the league.

 

[WiggyRuss]

the cap this year is what? 101 right?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I repeat: The internet is a cold ass place.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Jump is on....

Surprised by this. Definitely expected him to get paid more than that.

Oh, Shit....

NOLA scored.

They replaced Rondo with Elfrid Payton and now they land Randle....

Wonder what that means for Boogie?

They could have done a sign and trade with Boogie and Randle. So, maybe they are trying to keep him?

Where can Boogie realistically land at this point? Sucks for him, because I doubt he'll play next year at all. Maybe you'll get him for the last 20 games or so.

Windy thinks Deng might play.....

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Per Channel 4, Julius Randle asked the Lakers to be released which the Lakers did. Julius Randle has since then agreed to play for New Orleans for 18 million dollars

 

[WiggyRuss]

Lakers Salaries (currently):

LeBron James 35.6
Deng 18
KCP 12
Ball 7.5
Ingram 5.7
Stephenson 4.5
Wagner 1.8
Kuzma 1.7
Hart 1.6
Zubac 1.5
McGee 2.3
Rondo 9.0

= 82.2 million

I dont think there is anyone I am missing or something i am missing

so that gives them just about 19 million in cap room.

does that look right to people?

can a Laker fan tell me why you give KCP 12 a year but dont give Randle 9 a year?

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Windy thinks Deng might play.....

With himself or new girlfriend?

His options are getting somewhat limited at this point, right? His best bet might be to stay with the Pels at this point. Are there even any teams with cap space?
