[Wamu]

ain't he on his way back to China...?

If he wants to get paid to play basketball he better get back over there.

 

[Black Adam]

Wonder who else the Lakers are targeting? They need PG’s

got a couple so far. guessing they'll probably bring Rondo back...

 

[podsox]

To be fair to Broussard, no one saw the PG trade coming. From what I heard that Woj apparently reported, if the Clips were unable to get the PG trade done...Kawhi was going to the Lakers.

Jerry "Obi Wan Kenobi" West must have Jedi mind tricked Presti. lol

There is no being fair to Broussard. he has been spewing bullshit since “the decision”. Amazing the dude has a job

 

[trojanfan12]

I mean, did you watch the playoffs?

I mean, do you think he's going to be their "go to" player in the playoffs?

 

[Heatles84]

Looks like the Lakers have picked up Quinn Cook on a 2 year.

Actually a pretty decent move. Good backup PG that can shoot.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I mean, do you think he's going to be their "go to" player in the playoffs?

Do you think he was for Toronto? His constant misses are still noticeable when he's failing at the literal one job he has.

Hey, enjoy! He did finally show up in the Finals, so, get there and you're good.

Danny Green is a good dude. Will miss him as well. He shot great all year and struggled in the Playoffs but that happens.

 

[Mecca]

The Logo strikes again.

Who the hell saw that PG trade coming?

Congrats @Mecca.

Looks like the Lakers and Clips might have a real rivalry now.

Shit almost didn't happen.

Westbrook and George were on their way to Toronto for Siakam, filler and picks.

Those picks they got from Miami for helping in the Butler trade and the ones they got from Philly for Tobias were the difference.

lol

So he showed up in the most important series of the playoffs and you want to bash him.

Someone is a little salty this morning.

classy post, man. You still got a great GM so you guys should be OK in the long run...

I also heard that Toronto didn't want to give up Siakam and that was ultimately what sent Kawhi to the Clips.

Siakam looks like an emerging star, but the Raptors could have had Kawhi, PG and Westbrook.

Hey, all that matters is you're happy. Obviously the best consolation prize for missing out on Kawhi.

Well, I'd argue other than no consolation prize at that money but, hey.

It was more then siakam
Multiple picks that we done have. Plus some expiring contracts.

Westbrook has 4 years 171 left. Dont want none of that

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I’ll say one thing for the Lakers, any notion that they overpaid for AD is out the window. Downright steal in comparison.

 

[Mecca]

Danny Green is a good dude. Will miss him as well. He shot great all year and struggled in the Playoffs but that happens.

You got a chip.

So, it was worth it.

I'm still reeling that you almost landed George and Westbrook.

This

You should start a thread on this. IF this above is tru the Raptors were fools

Show me where I said he was "the best consolation prize".

The Lakers needed outside shooting, whether they landed Kawhi or not and they got a guy who has shot 40% from 3 for his career. So, I'm not going to complain.

All things considered, so far, the Lakers have managed to put together a more solid roster than most thought they could. Again, not what I'd hoped they'd get, but with as quickly as everyone was signing...it's better than could have been expected, imo.

Look I get it, you're butthurt and salty because you lost Kawhi and a good rotational player that helped you get your championship and need to lash out to help yourself feel better.

You guys will be okay. Ujiri seems like a good GM, so I'm sure he'll figure something out.

I thought it was the picks?

They weren't able to keep up.

Clippers had quietly amassed like 12 over the next 4 or 5 Seasons, including their own.

Masai couldn't/wouldn't mortgage the future.
