Official Offseason News and Rumors

[trojanfan12]

You never know with greats. They are all friends from the Olympics. I don't like the idea and don't know how it will work, and don't want it to happen in LA. But it's whatever.

I would applaud LA for pulling it off, still a longshot in my eyes.

If it does happen, I'll send you a Lebron Lakers jersey!!

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Okay, this is getting crazy.


Now Ramona Shelburne and Chris Broussard are saying that the Lakers are the top threat to the Knicks for 'Melo and that there is a chance that they could get Lebron too.


It's ESPN, Ramona Shelburne and Chris Broussard, so take it with a grain of salt.

If Melo signs, I don't see how LeBron wouldn't love LA as a destination, he'd never have to worry about scoring points ever again lol.

I'll have whatever you're smoking.

It's true, the Lakers have cap space and the Knicks don't.

 

[trojanfan12]

I didn't see anything on Melo or Bron to Lakers. It's bogus

Better adjust your rabbit ears on your t.v. then, because ESPN just did a 5 minute phone interview with Ramona Shelburne on it.

Los Angeles Lakers emerges as top threat to keep Carmelo Anthony from re-signing with New York Knicks - ESPN Los Angeles

Yep, clearly bogus. This info. isn't anywhere to be found.

I still have 2 of Lebrons' jerseys from the Cavs, and probably the only one

I will go for the Melo interest, but Bron, don't know.

It's true, the Lakers have cap space and the Knicks don't.

As a Heat fan, I can't say the Lakers are in full rebuild mode right now. The Lakers and Heat are in near identical situations, albeit Kobe's still taking up about a 3rd of the Lakers cap space, if not more. But LA does have some room to maneuver since the Lakers aren't handicapped by any horrible contracts; which is the polar opposite of the Knicks. The Knicks already know next year is gone as they still have Amare on the books for $20+ mil as well as Bargnani for another $10+ mil. The Lakers and Heat have this thing called flexibility at the moment.

Give me a roster that doesn't have many players on it during free agency with a ton of cap space over a roster that's got a couple of bloated contracts any day.

I don't wanna think about it, but let us:

Bron
Kobe
Melo
Randle
Gasol

I never check it anymore, at least not in awhile

 

[DJ Fieri]

Stein's been reporting it for the last few hours and now

Stunner: @WojYahooNBA reports #Knicks favorites for Melo--but #Lakers in 'serious contention.' Great selling job despite humble LAL roster

Smh

 

[DJ Fieri]

There's no way they get both Melo and James, but I don't care. They could get a team around them after (IF) Melo signs.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I don't wanna think about it, but let us:

Bron
Kobe
Melo
Randle
Gasol

No chance they'd be able to get Gasol if they signed James and Melo.

I agree that it's a longshot (especially getting both), but when you consider that when all of this started, virtually everyone said that the Lakers had "no chance" at either one, it's pretty cool.

 

[Shanemansj13]

No chance they'd be able to get Gasol if they signed James and Melo.

That's what I was thinking, they wouldn't have a center or money.

Well, Sacre

 

[trojanfan12]

I don't wanna think about it, but let us:

Bron
Kobe
Melo
Randle
Gasol

To fit both, they would have to do a sign and trade with Gasol for one of the 2.

 

[starbigd]

I don't think The lakers land either one, even now......the roster won't be competitive in the West with just Melo and Kobe, 2 rookies and a bunch of waiver wire guys.
