Agree on Mikal. That was a Brett Brown led front office. They were so hell bent on getting a star they traded him for a pick they would use to acquire Harris and then eventually over pay him. Trading Bridges was so wrong on multiple levels. He’d be perfect with this group.
Something I’ve come to understand reading this forum is that even the Lakers don’t like the Lakers assets. Classic case of selling your soul for a title. To be fair, many teams go that route and don’t even get the title. Lakers will always have that bubble title.
That and some, not all, still think they can get treasure for trash or that other teams will do their work for them.
Who cares? Not our problem.....it would be for just 1 season anyway. Or half a season if they find a trade partner at the deadline.
You pointed out recently, they could flip Harris.
LOL at bubble title.....
Tobias?
Was I lying?
It's another title.
I said Fournier would likely be a Deal breaker in a NY/Brooklyn swap because they are redundant.
Absolutely.
Thought you said the Nets could flip Harris if they received Fournier in return?
Not less but definitely different. In the LeBron/AD era have they had one season where they were actually healthy when the playoffs hit? You think it’s coincidence that the one year in the era that they actually closed the deal it came with a 5 month break that allowed those guys to get healthy and stay healthy as they entered the bubble? I don’t think it’s coincidence at all. For a team built around an older LeBron and an oft injured AD surrounded by vets that break was huge for them. I think that if they don’t get that situation they don’t win that title and I’m leaning on what we know about the Lakers in this era. Hey, they won and nobody can take that away. Every title team needs a little luck along the way. That was the Lakers luck.
