Lakers rebuilding. West is going to be brutal next year

 

[Inimical]

good move for both teams.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

What's next Jordan coming back?

 

[HammerDown]

I don't know, Big Game!

What did the Lakers give up?

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

We gave up some cash and a "foreign" player....it's a start as reality says Melo ain't signing here. Let's see what other moves will follow cause I know there'll be more.

Got younger with Lin, picked up 1st round pick too....might they move Nash's $9 mill contract off the books next??

What did the Lakers give up?

Not much. Cash and the rights to an overseas player.

 

[Clayton]

What did the Lakers give up?

They have to pay for Lin

Honestly not a terrible deal except for the fact that they are enabling Houston

 

[fordman84]

What did the Lakers give up?

It's the lakers, so probably a handshake

Thanks LakersUSCBam. I wondered what Houston received. I like the deal because if Lin doesn't work out he is off the books in a year and we start pretty much over in 2015. I think they are still trying to move Nash and then all of the guys that have been waiting like Swaggy, Xavier Henry, Jordon Hill, And Ryan Kelly will sign one-year deals again.

can't hold our breath as the Commish might nix this trade....wait that was Stern, the anti-Lakers commish

I don't see one year deals for them all. Nick young and Jordan hill will likely seek multi year deals elsewhere

I am forever grateful to Stern for that one.

that's my train of thought Retro....who knows what the final roster will look like but it's obvious that management/ownership was aligned in their pursuit of both superstars. Can't put a gun to their heads but can't accuse us of sitting back either and not make a big push which they obviously did. The likes of Stephenson, Bledsoe, Pau, and some of last years' players in a Lakers uni would satisfy me.

 

[RoboticDreams]

Trying to get excited about this but can't for some reason.

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

yup and the fan base can't accuse of the league favoring the Lakers 24/7....only time will tell if that trade will translate to rings for Clips, scratch off the first year.

You aren't getting Bledsoe. He is an RFA who the Suns will match any offer for.

Yea perhaps Gasol will come back but I think he is either going to go to San Antonio, Knicks, OKC, or the Bulls especially if Anthony goes to the Bulls because Anthony appears to be done with the Lakers.
