tOfficial 2015 NBA Draft/Free Agency Thread

[Beengay fudgepackers]

I'd be interested to know, but having both LA and Bosh makes little sense to me.

I highly doubt that's the plan.

Maybe the heat will then flip bosh to the raptors for derozan if the raptors sign Mathews?

O.K. Get a free meal from the Lakers and say hi to Pat and end up going to Miami. LOL!

 

[DJ Fieri]

It's not over yet!!!

I hope we don't get him, he's closing in on 30.

 

[Black Adam]

The Lakers have their five right under their noses. Just get out of the FA market this year except for maybe Harris and get on about the business of developing the young ballplayers they already have.

guess after all's said and done this just MIGHT be our best course of action...

Got rid of the albatrosses. Let's see... ...the Buss family and... ...not going to say it.

"Logged off Twitter for 30 minutes. In that time, Aldridge is meeting with the Lakers (again), Phoenix made a trade and Miami is in the mix."

I go get some lunch and things change dramatically!

Aldridge loving all this attention like Carmelo last summer.

Riley meeting with LA in LA

Yep. And this.

"Even if Heat trade Deng & every backup (unrealistic), Heat can't approach max offer for Aldridge with Wade (at decent no), Dragic, Bosh here"

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

All of this being said, I still don't see Aldridge in the Lakers uniform.

But free agency wouldn't be the same without a bit of Lakers drama after all...

Merely a pipe dream to get Aldridge. I'd take him though. But no way we can afford him. Unless he comes on one year deal that's not close to the max then takes long term contract next year.

I just dont see why Riley is even bothering, but you never know...I guess

 

[lakersrule]

He's going to want too much...........but yeah we should consider bringing him back to play center.

he ended getting a little more than I would have been willing to give him. $5mil was what I thought was good earlier this year.

 

[Black Adam]

I'm willing to try out Upshaw!

definitely wanting to see what this kid can do. heard he was a pretty good rim protector before he got the boot outta Washington...

 

[Black Adam]

Either that or the Lakers are going to grovel like hell and embarrass themselves again.

let's hope THAT never happens again...

"So if it's about winning, the Lakers get two meetings and the Knicks get told, thanks, no thanks?"

 

[gordontrue]

Barry Jackson, Heat reporter - talking about a potential S&T with Portland involving Whiteside, Deng, and salary fillers.

Lakers have without a doubt better assets for the future.

Tyson Chandler got 4 years and 52 million. Davis is probably going to want close to that, at least 9-10 million per season.

The Lakers are the cusp

Already reported that he's getting 3 years/$20 million.
