If the Lakers get Kawhi then they're better than everyone except the Dubs/Rockets. I think you're overestimating the Pelicans, and underestimating the Lakers. Right now, it's Golden State and then Houston. After that, it's a cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just needed to move Clarkson to create that second max contract. Yep they moved Clarkson to be able to have two max slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medical studies and history of players with the same injury is.... bad. I'm not disagreeing. I just think there's enough desire from DMC to be a Laker that he'd take less from the Lakers to be here. JMO though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 It's so funny that a good amount of people made fun of the Lakers hiring Magic - "He's a moron." "He's actually going to scout players overseas lol!!!" "Won't change anything." I wish I could go back and see it now. The Lakers have been great ever since Jim Buss has taken a far backseat.

Lakers better have a few moves up their sleeve or they will be getting bounced in the 1st/2nd rd. GSW might be one of the best dynasties in nba history and they are no longer be most popular team in their own state. All those former Laker fans who became GSW fans are now gonna be laker fans. You now Silver has a raging hard on right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Dillon Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I like Pope, but the Lakers have paid him a ton of money over 2 years simply to have cap room in the future. hes a pretty lucky dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Capela thing sounded like hogwash anyways. Probably just trying to get Houston to pony up for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
