Boooooo.

 

How exactly did the Lakers negotiate with the ghost of the Wizards gm, I wonder?

Rob P. must have a ouija board.

 

he'll get that extra four mil from Space Jam 2 lol

 

it's amazing how Lebron was able to basically clear out the entire Lakers roster after one season.

 

It's more amazing it took that long

 

Pelicans in 6

 

Max room for Russell it seems

 

Friend of mine is gonna be crushed if he doesn't end up on the Suns which is looking increasingly less likely lol

 

LeBron is giving Davis #23

Sources: LeBron James giving Anthony Davis the No. 23 with Lakers

 

So the Lakers currently have FOUR players on their roster? If they use all their $32M on a max guy, that's 5 players & then fill out the other 10 spots with minimum contracts? Even if they break the $32M into 2-3 guys...you're still talking 7 to 8 minimum contracts. Wowzers.

Better hope LBJ/AD stay healthy.

 

I know this wasn’t a for sure thing but it makes sense. Double the jersey sales if he switches again and lets AD take 23

 

Worked okay for the Heat, they do have to hit on their MLE tho

 

smart business move for the Lakers - they will lead the league in merchandising - everyone will need the new AD jersey and the new Lebron jersey haha

 

come back d lo

 

And if LBJ/AD aren't healthy, you're not winning the title anyway. The entire premise is they stay healthy and you have a shot, or they don't, and you don't. Any scenario where either is hurt and you're really not winning a title no matter what the rest of the roster looks like.

 

lmao I like the rumor that AD waived his 4 mil kicker for #23

 

lol

 

If Russell has any self-respect, he'll go somewhere else. Not to mention that I don't think he'll be making any more All Star trips for a while if he goes West.

 

Like fuck the Lakers, seriously.

 

Players definitely going to the Lakers on vet minimum contracts:

JR Smith
Melo
Korver (following a presumable buyout)
Vince Carter
J.J. Barea
Jose Calderon
Wayne Ellington
Bogut
Joakim Noah
Rudy Gay.
