Lakers said Fuck outta here on a 4 year deal….

Man.

Well, in fairness to me, the Lakers brass are incredibly stupid.

Their decision making the last 2 years has been so bizarrely risk averse it is maddening. I am not a fan of the Lakers by any stretch, but watching LeBron in the playoffs is fun. I would like to see that agains

Apparently Jeannie Buss doesn’t agree.

And yes, @msgkings322 I do believe I could do better. Most of us here could.

They are incompetent.

Stephen A saying if Irving doesn’t get a trade he will sit out the rest of the season. Sounds about right.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Go get Rozier, Rob...

Yep.

Won't surprise me at all.

He may be saying that today to try to force the Nets hand.

I don’t believe it.

Sitting out is going to make it less likely that he gets the bag he wants. Just proving teams fears right.

 

[thunderc]

Also it doesn’t sound like the Clippers are really all that interested

 

[DJ Fieri]

This is where I think he ends up.

He is that type of guy though.

May spend the next 4-5 years in China if he doesn't get what he wants. And yes I know he won't make as much in China.

Cam went nuts last night....

Was like, "Kyrie who?"

 

[DJ Fieri]

Since they can't get FA"s....Dallas night be the best spot for Irving. Luka and Irving would be one sick backcourt.

Shoot your shot.

Yea ever since the Russ deal they've taken the approach to just fill the roster in with the cheapest pieces possible.

They trade Dinwiddie, DFS and a pick and that makes them better than they are presently.....

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I know Brooklyn is in a tough spot but I don't see them taking bits and pieces for Kyrie either.

Tim Bontemps threw out a trade that I can at least understand for the Nets. Kyrie and Simmons for Westbrook and whatever other contracts that are needed to make the deal work.

Sorry but that’s an incredibly stupid reason. You add him and you become instant contenders for this year and the next 2.

Shouldn’t be too difficult

Beverly & Walker is $20M and gets you basically there

How can you say that with the history?

 

[DJ Fieri]

How can you say that with the history?

Yeah. They want to align Irving with James timeline.

He a nutcase....and James might be able to keep him in check. Might.
