NBA Executive on Kevin Love:

[QUOTE=longtime lurker]Durant isn't coming in 2016 :oldlol: pipe dreams. I'd trade for Love if we spend money on a free agent this summer and the capspace is looking slim. Otherwise just save some space for him.[/QUOTE]

It's a possibility, especially if the Thunder keep coming up short. I'm not saying it's 100% fact he is but I'm pretty sure he is the main player that the Lakers are targeting with our cap space. We will have the cap space in 2016 when Kobe's 2yr contract ends.

The biggest signing this summer will most likely be the rookie and another player at around 40 mil or less.

I mean it's just common sense.


Do I stay at a company that hasn't been great or leave for a company that has a good reputation for excelling?


Regardless of the condition the lakers are in right now you know they'll be out there making moves.

Between now and the next 3 seasons the Thunder will be in at least one NBA finals. Durant ain't leaving considering the the Thunder will make more moves to surround him with talent. Remember all those rumours of Lebron to Lakers? Yeah how did those turn out

One thing is for sure. Love isn't staying in Minny.

[QUOTE=ihoopallday]But he has a way better chance of getting star players to come to LA than he would in Minny. Melo and Love would be a good combo. Love can rebound all the bricks Melo chucks up.[/QUOTE]

Not attracting anyone with someone's fat huge 24 mil a year extension in the way.

Lakers were never really in a position to get Lebron. When he was entering free agency from CLE the Lakers were coming of 2 straight rings. It was mostly just talk radio saying the Lakers were after Lebron this summer but it was long-shot to expect him to leave the Heat.

Anyways over the past couple of season the Thunder have actually been subtracting from their talent and not adding to it. (Martin,Harden,Green,Maynor,Robinson) They have maxed out with their cap space and have chosen their core guys to be Durant, Westbrook, & Ibaka. They don't have any cap room to make any big signings in the next few seasons. They are hoping that they their young players (Lamb,Adams, Jones) can develop in the next couple of seasons. So the Thunder won't be able to surround Durant with any more than they have now leading into his free agency. And I'm not fully convinced that their core can win rings yet.

He's just trolling because it's a Laker thread


oh the horror nailed it

LA has one of the best franchise histories in all of sports, history of some of the greatest players to every play in the league, respect from all corners of the globe it's in one of the great cities in the country...

The Lakers are unquestionably one of the top destinations for basketball players from all over the world and will continue to be so..

Kids aren't out in their back yards shooting hoops pretending to be the starting SG for the Milwaukee bucks
