Fuck off.
Signed at all costs means what?

Spoiler

OVERPAID

Exactly what I've said and everyone has said EXCEPT YOU.

you said the deal got done and he got more because of Klutch. I said Lebron wants him signed at all costs regardless. Now you are trying to claim some sort of "win" for repeating what I have said all along?

I do mean it when I say I will help with comprehension any time you want.

Ironically the lakers weren't any better last year, and most likely this year as well...We were both in the lottery...And we aren't on a 7 year playoff drought lol

or have only 1 title banner hanging on our rafters...

you said the deal got done and he got more because of Klutch. I said Lebron wants him signed at all costs regardless. Could have saved a lot of time had you simply agreed with this and not made your foolish comment.

Highlighted part is 100% correct.
Save the rest, unless you want to write it 100x on a chalkboard to feel better about yourself.

Ironically the Lakers ending up in the lottery last season means they got Anthony Davis.

But yeah, they're probably not any better than last season.

Want to place an avi bet when the Lakers play the Cavs?

i wanna see him do it...

 

[dtgold88]

You don't think TT tried to get a full max deal and was told that's a bit too pricey? Even if Lebron had nothing to do with Klutch is not crazy to think TT gets the same amount as Lebron would still want him there.

Know why? He's a solid player who Lebron knows can help.

Imagine that.

did ya miss that one earlier, @TurnUpTheHeat ?

Lmfao

Dude...come on.

Lakers, Pelicans---------->Cavs.

I fucking hate the Lakers.

But, be fucking for real.

your hate is appreciated...

but yeah, the Cavs...?!

pregnant mothers CLEARLY shouldn't do drugs...

 

[Black Adam]

It would have gotten done, because Gilbert needed to, and had to, but it would have been for less.
Everyone here sees this but you.
Im done.

you did your best...

I think it's designed to pretty much make it so the player has no choice but to stay which is why it seems it is rarely ever used with the player leaving.

Kind of.

It is designed to force the stars to stay.

And it works for that.

The unintended consequence is some of the ridiculous contracts for role players getting paid like stars.

 

[Mecca]

I guess, but wouldn't the same happen if they were unrestricted in many cases?

To me the guys it hurts the most are the stars who might want to leave. They can't, and the only way they can any time soon is sign a very short deal which they might not because of the injury risk.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

I think it's both.

It hurts the guys that might want to leave.

But, it also forces teams to overpay guys like Wiggins, Crabbe because they aren't exactly a free agent destination.

You've made 5000 posts with several hypotheticals, which means NADA.
FACT is he had one hand picked agent who happens to be partnered with LeBron, who at that time had Gilbert by the balls.

If YOU want to believe that TT didn't benefit, GREAT.
At this point, can we agree that everyone who cares has weighed in (and disagreed with you), and move the fuck on?

 

[dtgold88]

you did your best...

He debated with himself, as I agreed Lebron wanted him signed at all costs. Probably why I said this.....

Even if Lebron had nothing to do with Klutch is not crazy to think TT gets the same amount as Lebron would still want him there.

Fact is you have kicked your own ass and are like a child who instead of admitting he made a mistake just deflects then makes more mistakes.

Even by your own words you agreed with me. You claimed Lebron wanted Gilbert to pay as much as he had to because he hated Gilbert.

Are you suggesting A) he would not have wanted Gilbert to spend as much as possible because of his hatred had he not had Klutch, or B) he would not have hated Gilbert had he not had Klutch.

You claim some kind of "win" because you repeated what I said all along? That this deal gets done whether Lebron has Klutch or not.

You are priceless and I appreciate the comedy you provide. If you ever want to provide less unintentional comedy speak up and I will help you out.

Maybe in the next CBA they just do away with it. Though I think the small market owners will actually want to keep it as it kind of forces most max guys to stay longer than they would if they just did away with RFA and first chance at FA was after year 5.....Hope I worded that right to make sense.

 

[trojanfan12]

don't disagree that's not possible. But my guess is they'd talk and see if the Cavs had ideas even if they didn't.....with another team involved.

The problem would be that, without the Cavs buying him out, the Lakers don't have the cap space. I'd expect that, for them to spend that money, they'll want a good return. That's not coming from the Lakers. I don't know who the Lakers would be willing to trade that another team would want, that would give the kind of return for the Cavs to spend that

Unless Gilbert wanted to do it as a thank you to Lebron for the title. Lol

 

[dtgold88]

have to admit I didn't even know they had his rights.

 

[Black Adam]

wonderful ...

ah well, a team's gotta do what a team's gotta do...

 

[Mecca]

At least it turned out well for your team.

Just another in a long line of Shit Clippers picks.

He got traded to the Grizzlies for CJ Miles about a month ago
