Roy Stiffert :waaaaa:

Vogel will have to know anything before anyone. Kidd too. I'm not expecting Kawhi, plus how would he step down to Bron and AD like that anyway. Nothing is certain in our Laker world right now . . I'll wait until November to see the reality of it all.

Darren Collison retired so he can bother people knocking on doors because his Jehovah’s Witness faith > making millions playing basketball.

Now another floor spacer off the board. And then there’s this:





Rumor has it that the Knicks want Wiggins. As for both of those teams: SUCKAHS!!!

Regarding Vogel. I thought he did a great job in 2012, 2013, and the first part of the 2014 season with the Pacers. The Pacers looked like they could actually win a Championship with "Stiffert" and crew :roflmao: . Something happened after the all-star break in 2014 with Indy and it looked like Vogel lost the team. That is what scares me about Vogel. I think he is a good coach but not sure he is a championship coach. Then again when you have LeBron and AD he could be. Paul George was elite in 2013 and 2014, West was solid inside but they couldn't get passed LeBron and Wade in either year (ECFinals). Vogel should not get all the blame because "Stiffert" went from being good to "Stiffert" :roflmao: . Vogel got the best out of Lance, that I will give him an A for that.

The rumors are flying!

Other than Kawhi. Rather than post the tweets, I'll summarize:

1) Meeting with DLo (Plan B) - "mutual interest" - sounds very serious
2) Enes Kanter interest (Room Exception?)
3) Reached out to Patrick Beverley's camp
4) Still interested in Jimmy Butler (Plan 1A now that Kyrie is reportedly off the board?)

Kyrie looks Brooklyn bound. Kemba looks like he is going to Boston. I doubt we get Kawhi but I would be cool spreading the wealth around between 4 or 5 players. Someone like Beverley would probably play his heart out as a Laker. Joseph would as well. I love Danny Green as well. So many options. We can put good role players around guys like LeBron, AD, and Kuzma and win championships. I also say bring back McGee.

FAs who sound like they are coming off the board quickly:

1) Dewayne Dedmon - Queens
2) Derrick Rose - Pistons
3) JaVale MvGee meeting with Houston could mean he'll sign the full MLE, which we can't offer him (or would be stupid to even if we could).
4) Bojan Bogdanovic - Jazz
5) Nikola Vucevic - Magic (could set the price for D'Angelo Russell)
6) Ricky Rubio - Pacers
7) Gerald Green - Rockets
8) Kyrie - Nyets
9) Kemba - Chowds

Nene is an UFA.

I love the tough guys who play their hearts out:

Imagine Patrick Beverley, Taj Gibson and Danny Green or JJ Redick for the cap space. Nene, Robin Lopez, or Frank Kaminsky on minimum deals. How about sharp shooting Matt Thomas (remember him?) for a minimum deal? Enes Kanter or Seth Curry for the Room Exception. Just spit ballin', but these guys leave it all on on the court!

I agree with all of this. We have LeBron, AD, and Kuzma. Imagine adding a couple of great shooters with those 3 and a couple of hard nosed players as well. As long as LeBron still has a lot left in the tank and 2 or so great years left, one would think we may win 2 championships with him if we get the right players.

Thanks for the breakdown Ken regarding Free Agents.

I'm already dizzy. KD + Kyrie + DAJ in Brooklyn. Mitch signs Terry Rozier to a 3 yr, $59M deal? He needs to retire. Brook Lopez and Middleton return to the BUcks on huge deals. JJ Redick joins the Lakers young core in New Orleans. Kawhi & Uncle Dennis circumvent Rob Pelinka and call Magic Johnson. Welp.

Ariza, JJ Redick, Terrence Ross .. gone, gone, gone.

Anyone see that one coming? I thought he was headed to the Pacers!

Here's why:

Man we need to land Kawhi, no news on Danny Green yet? Brogdon to Indy is very nice because they lost Bogdanovic to the Jazz. Durant and Kyrie to the Nets lol. They will never win a championship IMO. Durant will not even play next year. What is up with the Knicks? They haven't done nothing.

So far a bunch of MEH . . I can only assume these guys are going after 1) the money and 2) a new set of teammates to burn minutes with. Trevor, the Queens? Not a glorious return to LA and a chance to play with two mega-stars?

The Lakers are clearly not the destination spot we want to imagine them to be . . and I'm pretty sure LeBron isn't exactly helping that right now. Fuck it. Health and some kind of divine intervention is needed and Kuzma can have more touches and minutes to become a bigger star.

The Sixers just paid $180M .. a full max deal to TOBIAS HARRIS?!!! EVERYONE is getting overpaid.

JJ Redick signing with the Pels is stunning. That will hurt the Sixers a lot.

Randle is a Knick, good luck with that dumpster fire.
