I gotta say--- all the sane Lakers fans ignore this---- but watching CFL and shaqdaddy and DJ rhapsodize about the lotto while the Cavs celebrate the title is just too sweet for words. What a change of fortunes a few years and a few moves make.

Ingram, Randle, Russell isnt a bad place to start from it would seem. Lets see if they have patience and let those guys grow together- or if Jimmy Buss is under too much pressure to be patient and goes a different way.

REAL Cavs fans deserve it and should be celebrating.

What will you be doing?

Sixers are pressing hard for that pick, supposedly offering a package led by Noel.

ah ok, that was just buzz then...

 

[Heatles84]

Wonder how they're going to pull that off.

Only piece I'm not allowing to be traded is Okhafor. I'm offering Noel and Embid if possible.

 

[purguy12]

You really shouldn't post about the Lakers anymore. First you say it looks like Russell is "never going to get it" and then you drop this gem.

U make no sense. U are sick in the head if you dont think Okafor is better.

If a team is trying to trade out of that spot for cap space, the Warriors could just offer the 30, which has a lower cap hold, and offer cash, up to 3M. Team could then sell that pick again for cash. Not a great offer, but I think outside of trading Looney, that's pretty much all they got I would imagine.

One thing though I will never do is discount Bob Myers. He's a swindler of the highest order.

 

[purguy12]

If im Boston I would only take okafor. Im just not a big fan of Noel.

 

[purguy12]

I think we will see some other trades. Should be a fun night.

We dont even know if Embid can play in teh NBA he might be another Oden.

Agreed. They could use his offenseive skills.

 

[purguy12]

I wonder what my Bulls are going to do now.
