I love how all the drama comes out off-season.
So Kuzma and Schroder didn't get along, reached its height during PHO series.
I wonder if I can get a refund on my LAL series bet?
Old teams get hurt, you’re getting butthurt.Ladies and Germs,

Two second tier teams going at it is Epic.
Much better than the best in the World competing against one another and in the process solving one of Mankind's most mysterious riddles.
If The 3 Amigos and UniBron were fully fit, these two wouldn't have SNIFFED the Finals.
You EPIC Clowns got really lucky, I got skill and rock beats scissors.
Old teams get hurt, you’re getting butthurt.
Au Contraire Mon Frere. I'm a Purist, I can't help but point out stupidity. Not my most attractive quality but don't fucking tell me that Series wasn't an absolute Buzzkill. We wanted to see a Clash of the Titans instead we got a Bronze Medal Series.
Congrats Giannis, you didn't run through a gauntlet of Stars for the Chip, you got lucky, just be honest about it.
Old teams get hurt, you’re getting butthurt.
you got lucky
Very Lucky
How Much of That Starting Nets Payroll Was Injured ?
80 Million ? Harden/Irving
Portland has zero use for Harrell but maybe he has to go to make it work? I like that deal for the Blazers, Lillard isn't ever going to win with that group and will become a problem with his wanting out soon. Tucker looks like a good fit there and Kuzma can limit the loss of Lillard somewhat by playing much better defense than Dame. Lakers better hope all 3 stars stay healthy in that one, they basically can have league minimum contracts, rookies and G-leaguers to go beyond the $120m they would pay for just 3 contracts. Frankly from the Lakers standpoint I'd be worried when LBJ starts to decline and if AD will ever stay healthy, I'd almost rather just run it out there one more time with those two and better side pieces because Dame's fit there might be bit tough and take a year to figure out. He's not a catch and shoot guy, he needs the ball to get into his shot.Pope, Tucker, Kuzma and Harrell for Liliard I would do.
Pope, Tucker, Kuzma and Harrell for Liliard I would do.
"The Wizards, multiple sources have said, aligning toward a full rebuild should [Bradley] Beal ask out,” wrote Matt Moore of the Action Network. “It’s not a coincidence that Bleacher Report reported that there have been preliminary talks between the Lakers and Wizards about a deal for Russell Westbrook, a deal that league sources said was increasingly likely as of Sunday night.”
Not if you were the Portland GM, that package is laughable for DamePope, Tucker, Kuzma and Harrell for Liliard I would do.
Is it just me or would the Lakers be the one team you could actually play zone against? Not single shooter in the starting 5.
For this Big 3 to work, Davis has to play the 5 and LBJ play the 4. I just don’t see it either. A very flawed team.I'm not sure who the other two starters are. Davis won't play at the '5'....
Do they have cap room for Drummond?
Only reason to like RSW to LA:
The Lakers ranked first in the NBA in points per 100 possessions added in transition during their championship season in 2020. They fell to 19th last season. Injuries were a part of that, but the Lakers clearly weren't as strong in transition even at full strength. Even a declining Westbrook is a substantial upgrade in that regard. Houston rose from 19th to ninth in fast-break points per game after adding Westbrook.
Anywhere that we can get Stats to see how they did against Zone Defense? My recollection is that they destroyed it and I would think they would again, ecspecially if Gasol is on the floor.
Kid Dyn-O-Mite is staying. Say Goodnight Gracie.
Which means LeBron likes him....
but then gets Carmelo at the same position.
LeBron showing signs of desperation.
Another square peg, round hole squad.
Although like the Nunn signing.
What does it matter if Lakers bring in the Geritol gang since the GOAT is self admitted "washed up"?Please tell me the Lakers aren't serious about a Schroder, Kuzma, and Horton trade for Westbrook....
he gone.I'm not sure who the other two starters are. Davis won't play at the '5'....
Do they have cap room for Drummond?
I'm waiting for a Kevin Love buyout in CLEV and for him to join the Lebron Friendship Tour....
Friendship Tour, exactly.
Where's J.R. Smith when you need him?
You forgot the 6 games and 13 minutes with the Lakeshow in 2019-20?
