Lakers had to sacrifice Deangelo to get rid of one of their awful contracts.

Now they have the cap space to just sign Paul George next year.

Getting a "young" star depending on how much you believe in DLo while getting rid of an injury prone vet

>>76663799
If anything this makes Brooklyn worse immediately. Lopez on the move indicating they're shedding vets in exchange for young talent

They won the majority of their games last year when Booker, Lopez and Lin all played and were healthy. Lakers fans will tell you D'lo isn't going to win you any games.

D'lo plays Lin's position.

Still a great trade for Brooklyn, but no way win-now
>>
>>76663799
That makes them worse ya dummy. Lopez was 1 of only 2 players on that team that weren't complete shit.
>>
Jesus I dont know how to feel about this. Clarkson starting at 2? Ingram?

Magic is gonna need to explain this one

>>76663805
No, D'Angelo can improve them by a lot especially if the Nets can grab a decent player in FA. They won't be worst in the league anymore, probably gonna be 3/4 range as it stands

Lin will be moved soon i imagine
>>
>>76663835
You're a delusional fucking laker fishy. D'Angelo isn't going to win jack shit for the Nets. Fuck off.
>>
Is Lopez's career over? Only the Nets thought he was any good and they are glad to dump him off now.
>>
D'angelo Russell isn't a good basketball player, but it's still the right type of move for the Nets
>>
>>76663799
This. Magic fucked Ainge over hard

>>76663833
>>76663832
>>76663847

Idiots. Im the only Nets fan here, I know my team. Brook was always a hurt slow moving non rebounding fuck. You meme on Okafor, Brook is almost as bad
>>
D'Lo really benefitted from having a nice offense like Walton's. This really fucks him over now that he'll have literally who coaches.
>>
we did it RBL!!!!

we did it BBB!!
>>
>>76663835
lol you're a dumb ass homer, D'angelo is worse for Brooklyn than Lopez and he's not drawing in free agents.
>>
Man I can't wait to see Lonzo Ball in action
>>
>>76663855
He'll put up nice numbers on shit efficiency, I think this does improve them slightly... Like
>>76663835
Said i need to see what happens to lin
>>
>>76663865
Yeah sure buddy. Nets will be the worst team in the league again and it isn't even going to be close.

Only thing that annoys me is that we're going to have to wait for that Sacramento pick in 2019 instead of getting a top-3 pick from LA next year
>>
If the Lakers want to clear cap to sign free agents, they might as well trade the #2 pick. No way Lonzo can help a team make the playoffs for 4+ years.
>>
>>76663882
Lopez is better than Russell though, by a sizeable margin
>>
>>76663865
Brook has probably played more games these last two seasons than D'angelo, with better stats.
>>
They finally bounced Russel. Kinda feel bad for him desu but maybe he can do something in Brooklyn.
>>
>>76663799
First thing I thought too... That Brooklyn pick is probably a 2 or 3 now
>>
>>76663808
did he ever had a career? he was known for being a snitch than for his bball abilities 2bh
>>
Hahahahahah nets are going to be worse than last year AHAHAHAHAHAH

THANKS MAGIC LMAO

>>76663799
Hahahahahahahaha Celticsfags on suicide watch gonna miss my Dangie Russello doe
>>
>nets have historically bad years and nothing to show for it
ahahahahahaha
>>
It's a win win for both teams. Lakers get a big and clear out the clog at guard they were starting to have. The nets get somebody with star potential. It probably makes the nets worse in the short term though, but it's not like they were going anywhere with Lopez
>>
RBL WE OUTCHEA

#27 PICK AND RANDLE FOR PG CONFIRMED

WHO CAN FUCKING STOP US
>>
>>76663788
Damn Magic just pulled a fast one on Danny
This fucks with them getting Butler a bit, though that Brooklyn pick is still very good its not a guaranteed 1 or 2 now might be a little lower
>>
>>76663902
Guy played 75 games this year, 73 games the year before that. Lol his impact is not going to be replaced by fucking D'angelo Russell

Solid is my poop in the morning, BroLo got a fucking wet ass trey. He's fucking legit, And a good rim protector, cant really outrebound people but works perfectly as a box out for rebounding PFs (Randle will excel here) and is a beast on offense as it's known.

He's a great pairing to Randle, but it's clear he's just a rental. This deal was DLo for cap space and a pick in the end for LAL.

You're a bandwagoner because you are a Lakers fan but like Celtics players that the rest of the entire NBA fanbase despises.

The whole reason Ainge sits on his ass so much with his assets is because he wants to beat both the Cavs AND the Warriors. He doesn't just want to acquire a star or be competitive, he wants the Celtics to actually be championship contenders. That's why he's not going to give away the store just for somebody like Butler. Butler alone won't win the Celtics another ring.

He wasnt better than DLo is now until he's 3rd year tbf. He still was very limited, more so than he is now, as a passer, ball handler, cutter, rebounder, and basically everything other than shooting and avg defense.

Curry's injury concerns are not overblown, he missed 66 games in his first 3 seasons all due to ankle related injuries. Why do you think analysts were torn on his 44/4 contract at the time

>>76664919
I'd prefer to keep Randle because I'm partial to watching him play, he always looked like he played way harder than any other Laker the past 2 years. But I think most people will say Clarkson because guards are more valuable than players with Randle's skill set

I dislike Randle more but I can't deny dude has put in the work this off season. Plus, with Dlo gone, I think we need to keep Clarkson because there's no one to play 2 except Nwaba and Young is gonna opt out

Ingram can't play the 2, at least not until he improves his shot dramatically

I would lean towards keeping Randle as well

He's has a player option after this upcoming season, they'll probably keep him because he has a trade kicker and they need all the scoring they can get...but I don't see how him and Dlo work, they both need the ball...and alhtough Dlo can work without the ball, it ruins what's great about his game

SDC on Youtube had this hypothetical trade:

Cavaliers get: Jimmy Butler, Eric Bledsoe

Bulls get: Suns pick this year, Tyler Ulis and Tristan Thompson

Suns get: Kyrie Irving

Then Cleveland trade Love for George

Cavs starting 5:
Bledsoe
Butler
George
LeBron
Random center

Don't think it's very realistic but Suns and Cavs would be a lot of fun to watch if it does.

He tried to fuck a teammates fiance and he's been paying for it ever since. Its no secret half our team hated him behind closed doors(and some even publicly), I was expecting him to be traded sooner or later. You could tell Randle hated him.

This is a terrible trade for the cavs. Literally all of your championship roster except lebron, gone, in exchange for a bunch of all-stars who were going to sign here anyway.

I actually do agree now with signing Millsap, granted that a) it's not the max and b) it's heavily frontloaded, so that when the time comes to pay garris and joker, and millsap is fading, we're not playing with fire. rest of the podcast was also pretty interesting, the most interesting was noticing how useful it'd be to get iguodala back, in terms of his skillset and his fit on the team.

Spurs. I want CP3 to come by and help out Mills and Parker, but I don't think he'll actually come to San Antonio.

>>76665338
The George deal was already open. The Pacers have no leverage. Magic and Pelinka are just huge retards who are getting ripped off because they're new to this gm business.

What leverage does Indiana have? Paul George already told them he will only go to Lakers and he warned other teams he will go to Lakers in 2018 no matter what. Their leverage became shit at that point. Pacers are going to get bailed out by that dumb ass Magic though.
>>
>>76665347
Yep, I agree 100% with those conditions, and as they said, do anyone else really want Millsap as bad as we do? His best bet is getting paid in DEN, even if its frontloaded and not really a max deal.

And yes, Iggy would be perfect my god, and idk about but i have zero bad blood when it comes to him, would love him back. bit disappointed they didnt talk about CP3 tho

their podcast is really good, their next one after this crazy day should be awesome.

agree on sap, no other team will be wanting to pay his 34 year old ass 35 million dollars, and no other team has the space to frontload his contract like denver.

>i have zero bad blood when it comes to him, would love him back.
not sure how everyone else would feel about it. i guess if he was back and getting buckets the bad blood would leave pretty quickly. i'm also disappointed they didn't discuss cp3, especially since he's meeting with us apparently. i'm 99% sure he wouldn't come anyway, and it's not too much of an issue, murray looks to be the 1 of the future now.

as for the draft, i'm in the anunoby camp, he's attainable at 13 and just fits perfectly next to jokic, the guy to build around. that being said, karnisovas and tc definitely know what they're doing in the draft and i'll be hype for whoever they pick.

Kill yourself faggot. Pierce is a fucking fuckboy. For starters he was a bum ass nigga until they all showed up in Boston. He was a humble faggot putting up 20-25 PPG with a fucking L and then going to the club afterwards. He didn't start winning shit until Ray, and KG showed up and then he started getting cocky talking shit like he was Kobe or some shit.

Secondly he's a faggot for the whole Ray Allen shit. You can tell out of everyone, he honestly has no big quarrel with the whole shit, but he's going along with it because everyone else is going along with it, which makes him a moist fucking faggot. He doesn't want to be the odd one out to say he doesn't hate Ray. It's mainly KG and Rondo acting like females. I don't even know why Big Baby is even apart of it when nobody would even remember who he was if it wasn't for his lame ass nickname or the fact that KG made him cry.
>>
Im so glad i got an Ingram jersey
>>
>>76665510
Agreed. But I'm way higher on CP than you, I think he would be an amazing transition player for the team to go from playoff contention to wcf contention. Great mentor for all the young guys, would absolutely get us over the playoffs hump and wouldn't really hurt the timeline as he should still be balling into his late 30s

I like OG as well but it seems his injury concerns might be too much, with that in mind, I like trading back and targeting Bolden or trying to trade away the pick for someone like Oubre.
>>
>>76665382
i dont care for d'angelo, but of course they were going to say good things about him before they trade him. they want to make it seem like he's worth trading for. no way they would openly shit on him before a trade is done.

>>76665617
i wouldn't have a problem with cp3 at all, and if he makes it clear he's actually considering denver, then go all in.

as for alternatives to OG, if the team is sure about not resigning gallo then trading up for isaac like what others say isn't a bad idea, but i'd wouldn't mind taking a chance on giles at 13. there's a lot of ways it could go though and that's why i trust our FO to keep their ears to the ground and be aggressive with looking for options on draft night.

Question

Why would the Lakers give up anything for George this season, when he has all but said he is committed to the Lakers in 2018? Even if George gets traded to the Cavs, why would the Lakers be worried about him committing long term when even Lebron doesn't seem like he is staying in Cleveland?

I'm never going to defend that trade. It's a retarded trade. Russell gets a bad rap for being a snitch, but he had good stats for a 20-21 year old player. He was the Lakers best player and also their best shooter. To give up on him is retarded.

If Lakers wanted to get rid of Russell, and shed Mozgov's contract, why not wait until next year or before the trade deadline? At that point Russell could raise his own value and Mozgov could even look better from Lonzo's passing. It just makes no sense to do it right now.

Lakers insider here. One of the reasons he got moved was because he was unwilling to cut his body fat percentage, Randle and him were the two who were against it because they felt like it would make them lose strength (Randle) and would have to get his expensive clothes retailored (Dangelo).

This was a few weeks before the end of the season. Randle was persuaded to change his mind, Russell refused to budge. It ended in an argument a few days ago between Rob Pelinka and him, where Magic made the tough call to move him after Russell cussed out Pelinka in front of Jeanie.

They seem to forget that the Warriors "superteam" was a carefully built team that became the best regular season squad of all time first, then added the 2nd best player in the league on top of that after

Not >keep mortgaging away your future year after year in a desperate attempt to scrap together an insta superteam

Do the Cavs even have a decent D-League team? The Spurs use theirs all the time to train and learn about players, and I assume other teams do also, but I don't know about the Cavs.
>>
>>76665827
Because the Lakers are monumental imbeciles. I mean we're talking about a team that signed Mozgov to a 64 million contract.

Damn Atlanta got raped

He must be a huge locker room cancer
>>
>>76665825
Before he got hurt, undoubtedly. I'd even say he was their 3rd best player after Lebron and Kyrie for a time. After he went down early in 2015 he has never recovered.
>>
>>76666273

I'm guessing the ownership/management is actually full of idiots who got even more complacent after being gifted a once in a lifetime hometown talent to drag a shitty team to the ship every year, so no
>>
>>76666287
They are giving up. Time to move salary and start the process

lebron going to LA when? that'll be the only time this shitty sport is interesting for the next 3 years.

Where's that Atlanta fag who was bragging about the weather? Thanks for Dwight, bitch

cavs are worse than the warriors in every way.

Kevin Durant = Lebron after this year
Curry > Kyrie
Draymond > Love
Klay >>>>>>>>>> JR smith
Zaza > Thompson
Warriors bench > cavs bench
Warriors coaches > cavs coaches

they have to get jimmy buckets AND paul george just to have a chance

Spee, redpill me on this Lakers-Nets trade, I dont follow niggerball this closely but I like the sport and occasionally watch games, but apparently this was such a big deal that a lot of people is freaking out about it. What's going on?
>>
>>76666235
>for no reason

It's actually worse when you realize they did it to keep their manlet PG

>muh dead sister
>>
>>76666287
The Spurs need to do some lowkey maneuvering and get Belenelli back, especially with Patty about to leave in free agency. I always loved Belenelli's spark off the bench.
>>
>>76666284
Atlanta's cunt just got rolled holy shit

draymond doesn't beat love, draymond was worthless in the finals. he was on the bench for half the game because he would foul every 2 seconds.
>>
>>76666301
Gilbert is the Dan Snyder of the NBA. A vindictive, bitter kike who although unreally rich knows absolutely nothing about the sport and manages it like a total retard. The difference being Snyder didn't luck into a once in a generation talent like Lebron.
>>
Oh my god. MJ is gonna destroy Dwight mentally lmao

>shoot it, you child molester

feels good having competent management

lmaoing @ u LA, atlanta
>>
>>76666316

his contract expires in 2018. If the cavs get crushed again he's leaving 100%

The only question is whether it's Lakers or Clippers at this point
>>
>>76666346

lmao bruh
>>
>>76666321

Love was quietly productive enough. More boards than Green and certainly more points.

People are expecting him to get 25 ppg again like in Minnesota, not going to happen while Kyrie and JR are taking pot shots half the game and LeBron wants his 30.
>>
Kemba
Batum
MKG
Zeller
DUHWHITE

Is this the best D in basketball? Maybe Monk will drop to them in the draft as well and they can finally get some bench shooting.

why are people here acting like dwight is some asset or something?

he's a 32 year old center who relied completely on his athleticism, atlanta had to bench him during the playoffs last year because he doesn't fit in the league anymore

it's not 2010 anymore
>>
>>76666323
Lakers gave up former 2nd overall pick D'Angelo Russel along with Mozgov for Brook Lopez and a late 1st

Basically people are freaking out because Lakers did this just to get rid of the retarded contract they gave Mozgov two summers ago. And it was so bad they had to pair a huge positive asset in Russel. Lopez is good, very good, but he's in the last year of his contract and will be too expensive for the Lakers to re-sign, so he's basically a 1yr rental.

Lakers are said to be doing this to open up space to sign both PG and LeBron to maxes in 2018
>>
>>76666323

it's literally nothing, people are just obsessed with LA and there's nothing to talk about
>>
>>76666346
Jordan is going to break Dwight down then build him back up into a murder machine, the way he did with Pippen. Dwight's best days are ahead of him.

Never change, /nba/.

>>76666374
He fits in Charlotte's system of "no turnovers and no offensive rebounds". Not to mention Batum is one of the best guys in the league at finding the big off the pick and roll. Batum makes Zeller look like a top 10 Center.
>>
>>76666389
A skilled forward with the kind of high-level offensive instincts to carve out a long role in the NBA, as long as he gets stronger.

Reminds me of David Lee. Sneakily athletic, a real gym rat kind of guy

It's very likely PG is traded to them in a few hours, imo. And he has come out and said he wants to go to the Lakers when he becomes a FA.

Lebron is all speculation

32 year old LeBron, Kyrie, Kevin Love, TT weren't enough to beat the Warriors. People wanted to trade Love for Paul George to get the Cavs closer, but people still believed the Warriors would still be the better team. So LeBron, TT, Kyrie, and PG aren't better than the Warriors. Why would a 35 year old LeBron, PG, 21 year old Ingram, 20 year old Ball be better than Warriors? What if LeBron doesn't want to go to the Lakers?

The lakers aren't going to be shitty forever. They have tons of assets. Cavs had fucking Kyrie + Wiggins as their only assets and became championship contenders once lebron set up camp.

Think what the lakers could do with Lonzo, Randal, Ingram, Paul George and Lebron... not to mention westbrook, kawhi, harden, and a bunch of other dudes want to come home to LA and are willing to take pay cuts to get here.

Lakers could realistically have a Paul George, Westbrook, and Lebron big 3 this time next year
