This whole situation is pointing towards a big trade Lakers are trying to build up for. Could they be finalizing something with SAS to get Kawhi or trying a three way trade? They are now doubling up on position players with each signing...
Yes but they also signed a ton of other guys too, KCP, Javale, etc. If they can flip Deng into a team with cap space they'll have money, but how much is Boogie slated to make?
Will remember this thread and see how the Lakers actually does this season. I think its going to be a pretty good team.
This will all mean they can renounce them all next year and have an ass load of cap money available Rocket River
Exactly my thinking. These are replacements/depth moves after a big trade for Leonard? Ball out enter Rondo Ingram gone enter KCP Hart too? Insert Lance
As of now its looking around 25 million if they can trade for Kawhi which would be good for even potentially a third guy to come on board.
The real loser in this situation is Luke Walton.. all them personalities for him to command the respect of... LOL
What the hell are the Lakers doing? This does weaken New Orleans, so I'm fine with that. If the Rockets hang onto Clint and Luc and find a replacement for Ariza, it's basically them and the Warriors and then everyone else.
“All that said, LeBron did tell the Lakers on Saturday night that he likes Lonzo’s game and is excited to play with him.” -Ramona Shelburne How tf do I post pics??? Lol
The only reason for going with Rondo over Randle would be that then can trade Rondo. I don't see how Rondo helps this team.
I once said that the Thunder have a chance if Carmelo gets hurt... ...so if Rondo, Lonzo, or Stephenson gets hurt, I think the Lakers have a better chance...
Seriously. Are they trying to build an All-Knucklehead team? It's like LeBron left the Cavs to build a worse version of the Cavs IN THE WEST.
