Lakers wouldn’t trade Ingram for space for an Achilles Cousins, or any of the remaining FAs, IMO

I could see it for capela

 

[Kingsfan23]

I could see it for capela

Without knowing Houston would match?

Nobody knows what price houston says no at. Im saying there are really good FA out there, such as capela

 

[Noble]

A lot of people are weary of maxing Capela, but the guy is a beast on the glass, and runs the floor damn well, and plays defense, so I don't see why people are so weary. Capela and Bagley/Giles for years to come sounds awesome.

Honestly the Lakers are the perfect example of mainstream fandom in every way and now they have to root for all these weirdos. It's perfect.

Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
Coming from a lifelong Laker hater - thank God they’re completely botching this Summer of LeBron roster, I really appreciate it. Seriously, thank you.

Janis Carr @janiscarr
The Lakers are now must-see TV. Not sure for the right reasons.

Michael Dugat @mdug
Lakers drunk signing now

Bill Oram @billoram
With Rondo the Lakers have an outside shot at the conference finals. And that is the extent of their outside shooting.

Jon Santiago @itsjonsantiago
LeBron was really funny in Trainwreck, but this new comedy he’s starring in with the Lakers is shaping up to surpass that

A. Sherrod Blakely@ASherrodblakely
Lonzo. Lance. LeBron. Luke coaching the team,, LaVar on the sidelines. That's a lot of L's ...

Dan Greenberg @StoolGreenie
Watch LeBron see all these moves and change his mind by July 6th

Twitter is attackimg these moves and I love it

Wow! The roster they are assembling around LeBron is way worse than what Cleveland had.

LeBron is going to rue the day he left the Eastern Conference for this hot mess!

 

[allrightythen]

This off-season just sucks. I'm not bothered by what the Kings are/aren't doing, but the rest of it Sucks.

Especially with what GSW just did. No way the Lakers can get past that lineup if healthy.

MOD NOTE: Thread was closed temporarily so I could move all the Boogie discussion to the Boogie thread in the NBA forum. No need to junk up this thread with what will surely be an endless discussion.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I’m here for the meltdown

 

[Noble]

Waiting for a twitter pic of Cousins rehabbing in Sacramento with a GSW shirt on

Need an sf bad

 

[joemama]

Clippers have some guards now
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Milos Teodosic, Lou Williams, Patrick Beverley, Jawun Evans, Jerome Robinson and now Avery Bradley.

Wow Bradley at 2 years $25 Mil. That's a lot when u have 7 guards

 

[joemama]

Maybe they need a big?

 

[steelevt]

Maybe they need a big?

We need to find a team with 7 sf that needs a big

 

[Nokidding]

I cannot believe Randle only got 9 mil per season that's a insane bargain that's less than Faried/Tristian Thompson.....i wonder if the Pels will play big ball with Mirotic @ SF.

 

[joemama]

Isnt avery bradley a little redundant with patrick beverly?

 

[sactowndog]

After watching Fox and Jackson go 2-10 from three we need to offer Jabari Parker 18M a year tomorrow.

I am not sure Pacific Division is a sell now. You will face KD and LBJ 8 times this season.

 

[alden.viado]

Need an sf bad

After seeing JJ today he looks like he's gonna be a good 3rd string SF. He looks almost like Travis Outlaw like.

I wouldn't want Parker but Hood would be nice or absorb someone like TJ Warren.

Vlade... DO SOMETHING!!!

 

[Mike]

I am not sure Pacific Division is a sell now. You will face KD and LBJ 8 times this season.

True but the selling point is he will start at small forward for us from day one. It would be his position to make his own. Other teams be might not be a clear cut starter or get heavy minutes. At least here he'd start and should play 30+ minutes a night. It might be just the type of opportunity to make his mark and land a bigger pay day down the line.

 

[joemama]

Sf and pg crops are dwindling
Pacers look like theyre close to 1 yr deal for tyreke.
Jeff green drawing interest from wiz.
Tony Parker is asking for 2 yr in 6-7 range and several teams showing interest.

 

[allrightythen]

Hood, Anderson, Reke, Parker, I would be good with any of them at this point.

Hey that guy Miles at least in person looked ok at pg last night. Maybe we've got an internal diamond.

 

[ockingsfan]

At this point, I think Vlade is waiting it out and being patient.

There will be some nice bargains available soon, once all the money dries up.

I think Vlade may be saving the cap space for a salary dump contract to get a serviceable small forward and get a 2019 first round pick.

No need to rush at this point. Wait it out and we will be rewarded.

 

[dude12]

If Sac goes the trade route, I’m sure Atlanta wouldn’t mind being out from the Bazemore contract. Zbo for Bazemore. Wilson Chandler is available. Probably others

 

[joemama]

Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA
Unsigned FAs: Clint Capela (R), Jabari Parker (R), Isaiah Thomas, Tyreke Evans, Marcus Smart (R), Zach LaVine (R), Jusuf Nurkic (R), D-Wade, Brook Lopez, Wayne Ellington, Luc Mbah a Moute, Mike Beasley, Tony Parker, Kyle O'Quinn, Trevor Booker, Jamal Crawford, Shane Larkin, etc.

 

[KingsSelecao]

I’ll take Capela and Hood

 

[Sac.Kings]

I would love Smart and LaVine.

 

[joemama]

Jeff green only cost wiz 2.5 minimum
Why werent we in on that?
