Clippers were planning on a huge S&T with Trez. Lakers swooped in and plucked him.

The Clippers wanted to do a sign & trade to get assets back for Montrezl Harrell. The Lakers swooped in and ruined that plan. Via Sam Amick of The Athletic. Pelinka gut punching them with mighty revenge for last year's Kawhi wasting his time.

Oh and the better Morris twin for 64 million cheaper ? Lakies are the brightest ahahahahahaha.

I hate to say it but ibaka is going to be a very good piece for them. might even be an upgrade considering that harrell was supposedly one of the players that didnt like the PG kawhi star treatment


the big L the clippers took was not getting a good point-guard. they have kawhi who is arguably the best in the league at creating his own shot but they still dont have good playmaking. rondo would've fixed that so a huge L letting the hawks get him.


last year clippers had a better team than the lakers but this year its the other way around. lakers roster is clearly better IMO.

Montrel was their ticket for a good PG. Lmao. Thats the best part. And Montrel will be unlocked with Bron/AD/Vogel. Im so hyped for him and Dennis combo. DS was saying him and montrel are going to go crazy this season. Lakers just got significantly faster and younger along with the two best players with top tier chemistry. Its going to be scary this season.

:whatever:

So Lakers screwed Harrell out of like 60 million? hahahah if they don't give him a ring, that's ****ed up. Who would Clippers get for Harrell? The only thing Clippers need right now is a point guard, everything else they are set. I don't see anybody giving up a good point guard for Harrell.

I doubt Harrell actually had any value on the market anyway. Harrell was not only dealing with his grandma's death but he was also out of shape, he was playing like a G League player in the bubble. Clippers easily advance to the west finals if Harrell plays even half way decent.

:whatever:

creating for themselves in the playoffs if you need one shot or one drive there's only 3 or 4 players at the top of the heap

lebron
kawhi
kd
kyrie


you can make an argument for any of these guys, hence the term arguably

[highwhey]

LeGM once again showing why he's the best :applause:

How is Kawhi even close to someone like James Harden?

Edit: You know what red1 don't worry about it. Not trying to derail the thread.

Harrels value tanked because of the Clippers and a bit from his own play. He will have a monster year with Bron/AD/Vogel and cash out big time next season as a champion. Smart move. He gets to stay in L.A, get his revenge, get a ring and get paid. Rich Paul Da Mob.

kawhi is certainly better than harden at creating a good look for himself under heavy pressure.


thats not even a debate IMO.

that would be beautiful if its true. a perfect cockblock lmao.




schroder is excellent. I've appreciated him for a while - people are going to see how good he is.

Lakers running shit. After losing Howard I wasn't sure, but they had a gangster offseason.

Might catch a lil preaseason action :pimp:

He has nobody to blame but himself, he's a grown ass man. The only guy I can see him blaming is Doc for refusing to bench him!

What has Harrell ever done in his playoff career? Absolutely nothing. So as far as your lakers dream scenario, I will believe it when I see

For some reason I have never heard him speak. His whole career I wondered how he sounded speaking English. It took me this long to find out lmao (just watched his interview last week). Im pumped for DS. He has a chance to be the starting PG for us for a while if he shows out.
