    A player like Lou doesn't help them tank. He's not going to stick around for a rebuild either. Brewer was traded to them purely to use as a salary filler and is more than terrible enough a player to help them tank. Unlike us, they actually have multiple uses for our first round pick too.

    talk about a small ball lineup, williams, gordon, harden, ariza, anderson. I hope we do it once or twice just to see how many points rack up in a five minute stretch on both sides of the court.

    This really does show me more than ever that star players still have the most pull.

    Ever wonder why it seems like the Cavs get whatever they want? GMs and agents sucking off Lebron.

    Looks like harden is inching into that realm too. He makes a lot of money off the court, his agent is very happy with mr.harden, small price to pay to keep clients happy.

    Pelicans need another PG now and Ennis fits into their TPE.

    Make it happen, Morey!!!

    So basically we save 7 million next year payroll which could be used to chase Top end free agents, Lakers spent 7 Million to get a first round pick LOL. They are definitely in tank mode now thank very much Brewer

    I can only imagine what D'antoni's up to right now. He's probably already figuring out the new rotations and lineups that we can go with.

    Starters
    Harden
    Gordon
    Ariza
    Anderson
    Capela

    Bench
    Beverley
    Williams
    Dekker
    Harrell
    Nene

    3 Point
    Harden
    Williams
    Gordon
    Ariza
    Anderson

    Big
    Harden
    Ariza
    Dekker
    Capela
    Nene

    Small
    Beverley/Williams
    Williams/Gordon
    Gordon/Harden
    Harden/Ariza
    Anderson/Harrell

    ?? These are probably different than what he has in mind, but man is that fun to fool around with. D'antoni has the tools. This is great.

    No, we saved about 2M. Lou has a $7M contract.

    Woj on his live stream said Lakers had multiple first round offers especially for Lou; Ramona Shelburne said Magic thought Corey was a sweetener to the deal

    This is MDA offense he might be able to keep it up, It wouldn't surprise me.

    I think as long as he shoots from three the same % he will avg 17-18ppg.

    You have to remember he's going to be shooing prob 2 more threes a game atleast maybe more.

    This is unreal. I hope someone is researching the record books on all this. I bet Harden, Gordon, Williams go for 75 or 80 a few games this year as a big three.

    OMG I hope this is true. It's hard to know when Ramona Shellfish says something whether it's true or not.
