Sorry after SIlvers owners meeting the final will be Warriors x Lakers
Unless KCP is taking a minimum deal or something, it makes it hard to fit Boogie under any kind of realistic contract, even for 1/2 years. They'd probably have to flip Deng outright. Boogie aint' worth that.
Yea I think this is it. It's not so much Magic as Lakers had a decent team and LeBron wanted to be in LA with his family. Obviously if LA front office was complete shit Bron would say fuck that, but he didn't come because of some allure Magic has.
1.) You guys should release anyone you can and take on bad contracts to get draft picks. I realize that may not be possible this year, but I say tank and get a few 1-3 round picks.
2.) Love should be traded, but I feel like Cavs GM knew Bron was leaving for awhile now. Maybe they wanna see how far the team can leave without Bron?
5.) Do it when he retires or in his last season.
This upcoming season we are going to find out which of these young Lakers prospects are real or not. It's one thing to put up numbers on a trash team with zero expectations, but now there are going to face pressure like they have never felt before. Out of the group of players I would bet good money that Ingram is the real deal. That's the guy I would hold onto if I were the Lakers.
That makes LeBron's Finals streak even more impressive.
inking Julius might be a good option.
Cap will rise, that deal might look good in the future and LeBron might help his value too.
Then you flip him next summer.
Main reason I said that was because people like to shit on the Pacers a lot. I'm not a fan of the team, but they have talent. Just like Nuggets or Pelicans. However I agree there's a steep drop off soon after that. East is definitely weaker than the West.
Boogie should not be a target for the Lakers, he's inefficient and has never contributed to winning basketball. A smarter option would be going after 1yr deals for guys like KCP or Avery Bradley then rolling over cap space for Kawhi or another superstar such as Butler in 2019 since now LeBron's locked in for the long term
Also VeePs I respect that. If I could I'd have put Oladipo First team All-NBA, its crazy that he was only 3rd team despite his two-way production on a team which overperformed relative to expectations more than anyone else in the league

Should we take back Brook on a discount? Not saying he should start but I like him off the bench.
My guess for starting lineup.
Collin Sexton
Kevin Love
Cedi Osman
Tristan Thompson
George Hill?

Nah i'm good. We got the soft ass C who can't rebound but might be able to shoot quota filled by drafting Wagner.
Well they are easily the second best team in the East. Maybe they are just waiting on 2019 FA
don't the cavs get a pick this year if it's in the top 10? gotta figure they'd want to get that
I want to see Pop's face when he realizes he'll have to deal with LaVar.
Trading Love makes sense for CLE I just don't know who is in the market for him that will be willing to give up anything of significance. Like, he's been a decent player, so teams would be willing to take him if the Cars just wanted to dump him, but I don't see anyone giving back real assets. And the Cavs are so over the cap anyway that dumping his salary won't help them much anyway. Maybe they can wait after FA shakes out and see if they can catch a desperate team slipping or something. Cleveland's best bet is to just ride out these bad contracts, take on other teams bad contracts for assets, and collect lottery picks for the next 2-3 years.
Also the 1+1s with Cleveland were likely because he doesn't respect Dan Gilbert and wanted to keep him honest.
Evan Turner + assets (maybe Zach Collins and a 1st) makes some sense especially with the noise about Dame being disgruntled with the franchise's direction.
It's silly to call Lakers title contenders. They have decent talent but nowhere near the experience or level of even the Cavs squad. More potential and youth, yes.
But they won't get past Warriors for sure or Rockets, and Pelicans, Jazz will be tough too.
I think people are over estimating LBJ's ability to carry a mediocre team. He did so with an okay squad in Cleveland but he played against weaker competition in the east
If Cleveland was in the west conference all these years they'd get to the semifinals max

Spurs gotta be pissed, they had so much leverage yesterday dangling Kawaii around like the Lakers need him so they can sign Lebron. Life comes at you fast.
It's never going to happen. People just need to give this dream up.
This Lakers team is infinitely more talented than the Cavs
It was all bullshit. Woj is trying to spin this now and saying the Spurs have MORE leverage now because the Lakers will be desperate to win. He's full of shit.
Ok, all is right in the world now that Bron is in LA...
I can really hate him even more now. Fuck Lebron and Fuck the Lakers
I can really hate him even more now. Fuck Lebron and Fuck the Lakers
I mean wouldn't they have more leverage? Waste a year of Lebron or make a move for Kawhi now. Lakers should be the desperate ones.
I give it one more season, its definitely coming.
Silver already mentioned he is discussing it currently on how to make it work
Sorry but it already is
I can tell you we'll get more than Chandler, Chriss and Bender
Congrats to LA, but this move clearly says that LeBron clearly values fame over winning. Even with Kawhi, this team is forth at best in the West. Imo, Warriors, Rockets, Jazz and Thunder are all better.
