Another L for the Lakers

[oh the horror]

Word is that Rob mismanaged the details of this trade and now they

[NBAGOAT]

Good lord. Just take the l and settle for role players. You can

[KOBEtherealKing]

Why are people so gullible, only ppl who knows what

[AirTupac]

Why are people so gullible, only ppl who knows what?s going on is the Lakers organization.


Lol this. Pelinka has been tight lipped and reporters are SEETHING lmfao.

[RealSkipBayless]

It's debatable whether 3 stars + Kuzma is better than 2 stars, Kuzma and a solid depth.

This would just be sheer stupidity. Even IF Kawhi Leonard is somehow lined up already (he's not) you don't do that shit.

Not even sure why teams would be demanding an asset that high for those contracts. Lakers aren't pressed to do anything.

What else are they gonna get? They know they can

[Wally450]

Rob f*cked up and now has to trade Kuzma in order to get another max slot. Hahah eat shit Lakers. :roll:

[bladefd]

Better not salary dump Kuzma.. I don't see Pelinka doing something that foolish. Kuzma's contract is around $2mil, which is great for the books in long-term.

[coin24]

Kuzma is on less than $2m fake news

Which teams?

[Uncle Drew]

Kuzma is on less than $2m fake news
Big oof, reading comprehension non existent.

[toxicxr6]

These contracts aren't even bad though. Teams actually expecting a haul for taking them? This isn't a Luol Deng contract. These nikkas can have a future 2nd or **** off. :lol


And that

Hi wheels

[RealSkipBayless]

And that’s exactly what will happen. Those teams will just walk away. Lakers have zero leverage. Everyone knows they need to dump salary or they are screwed. So Everyone just gonna I want Kyle or it’s a no.. eventually lakers have to cave in here.. they have no choice
They don't want to get young players and some 2nd rounders for free? Cool. Walk away. Lakers will add depth instead and be just fine. There is no leverage against the Lakers. Cap space would be nice, but these teams wanting a 20 PPG 23 year old on a cheap contract in exchange are out of their minds. Worst case scenario Pelinka reworks the deal to push it back...

This idea is only worth humoring if Kawhi is guaranteed. Which is unlikely.

Lol lakers can

[Uncle Drew]

Hi wheels
You should ask your schools for a refund. They failed you miserably.

[Mr Feeny]

Watch the lakers give out Kuzma to open up cap space, and then proceed to use it use it to max Butler:lol

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I wouldn't be surprised if they maxed out Kemba or Kyrie. A great franchise being run by absolute morons.

Kyrie would not be horrible but can

[ArbitraryWater]

the source already said lakers not doing it


regardless pelinka is dumb


and so is AD/rich if they dont waive the kicker

[Bosnian Sajo]

Rob f*cked up and now has to trade Kuzma in order to get another max slot. Hahah eat shit Lakers. :roll:

At least we gained 2 corner stone franchise players in the past 11 months, meanwhile the Celtics lost their 2 best players in the span of a week.


Can I have a bowl of shit to go? Just type out a paragraph and I'll gobble that shit right up. Celtics fans :lol peasants.

[Bosnian Sajo]

The Lakers would probably end up being of the worst defenses ever. They need a good defensive PG and a good defensive SG. They really shouldn't touch Kyrie.


This.


Give me Brogdon and Danny Green. Or Beverley and Green.

if the man waiting is Kawhi Leonard you do it, no other player in the world is worth

[warriorfan]

Without Kuzma...who is going to bully LeBron into actually trying to play defense?

[Meticode]

If I were Brook Lopez wanting a championship. I'd see about going to the Lakers on the cheap. They should've paid him his $2 million more he was asking. He would've been perfect with LeBron...

If lakers can

[lakerstekkenn]

The Lakers know what their doing if they can get one more they will try and if they can't they will just fill in the hole's they need talent and defense wise and run with Kuz and Davis and James everyone is biting on fake blown up news acting like the Lakers are panicking for nothing when they have two of the top five players in the NBA James number 1 and Davis top 5 or ten.

Everyone is acting like La doesn't know what their doing when Magic was going to give up everyone for Davis but they gave up nothing except draft picks and OK players.

They are just tying to add one more All Star, just in case Durant stays in Golden State and they meet them in the West Finals, they want to be sure they have the talent to beat them in 7 games, if not they can build on what they have in Davis Kuz and James.


The media talks drama to gain Tv and Online video viewers :hammerhead:


Lakers will be just fine and playing in the western finals next year against Utah or Portland or Huston, Clippers you can book it.:cheers: :banana:

[thefatmiral]

No kuzma will be a Laker for life. Pels effed up.

I really doubt he takes anything under $25M a year.
