By Mamba Go To PostLakers never even went for Love…True but you would think they want to land someone high profile at PF, especially if LMA wouldn't chose the Lakers.
Cavs gonna have a $100 million payroll soon. And it will be a lot more next year. Good god. Lebron must be worth a shit ton with the LT payments coming their way.
By Nobility Go To PostTrue but you would think they want to land someone high profile at PF, especially if LMA wouldn't chose the Lakers.
They want a C, not PF. I think they get chandler or Lopez, which is fine.
Money needs to bring back Brew and Smoove soon before all these teams that struck out start flashing the cash
By Nobility Go To PostTrue but you would think they want to land someone high profile at PF, especially if LMA wouldn't chose the Lakers.we're after a defensive C, not a pf
Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love gonna be paid equivalent yearly salaries........
like, wtf, yeah TT has some ungodly hustle but $20M/yr? TV deal or not, giving 20-25% of your team's salary to Super Reggie Evans is just ridiculous. LeBron's gotta be commanding at least $25-30M/yr, right? Do they have any money left to chase anyone else?

Senior editor ffs
Yeah, the Lakers didn't even want a PF. That's why they had a meeting with Aldridge and reached out to Love. And were rejected twice. Again.
What they really want is Robin Lopez.

The Lakers took Russell because they could get a top tier FA big...
and its looking like they are about to strike out.

By K@do Go To Postwe're after a defensive C, not a pfMy mistake, I thought they wanted a PF/C hybrid to position themselves for 2016.
I'm more interested in 2016 at the moment but I can't deny there are many great FAs this year.
By thekad Go To PostYeah, the Lakers didn't even want a PF. That's why they had a meeting with Aldridge and reached out to Love. And were rejected twice. Again.Plan C: throw money and bitches at Greg Monroe

By thekad Go To PostYeah, the Lakers didn't even want a PF. That's why they had a meeting with Aldridge and reached out to Love. And were rejected twice. Again.to be correct, The lakers were going after Deandre and LMA,
What they really want is Robin Lopez.
as much as mitch is high on Randle, this has me believing they have a win now attitude while randle develops.
By thekad Go To PostYeah, the Lakers didn't even want a PF. That's why they had a meeting with Aldridge and reached out to Love. And were rejected twice. Again.Aldridge was gonna play C mostly.

Lakers reach out to every top FAs every year. Means nothing. Love entertained no one but Cavs. Lakers also reaching out to Wade, but they don't want him.
You have to play the politics in the NBA with the top guys if you're a team like them. Morey did the same thing with Love and LMA.
WojYahooNBA: Phoenix has agreed to a five-year, $70 million extension with guard Brandon Knight, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Look at this right here.
Lmao.
Before agreeing to a new deal with the Heat, Goran Dragic asked Pat Riley how he could be flexible to help them re-sign DWadePer shelbourbe
MY MAN
By thekad Go To PostLook at this right here.
Lmao.
The Lakers aren't good team. And until it looks like they're good or about to be good, they won't get top FAs. Just like every other team.
You're too focused on the Lakers, as you always are, when your team is about to be cast aside by the Spurs. Again.
By Method Go To PostWojYahooNBA: Phoenix has agreed to a five-year, $70 million extension with guard Brandon Knight, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
yo wtf
By Mamba Go To Postwell then.We already knew this tho
still pretty terrible... beginning of 14-15 season: Goran Dragic ($7.5M/yr) and Isaiah Thomas ($7M/yr)
dump 'em both so you can pay Brandon FUCKING Knight $14M/yr for the next 5 years. Fuck a 45% salary cap increase, dude is garbo

I'm assuming that was geared towards me. I've said from day one that I didn't want Kevin Love as he wouldn't add much value, would hurt our defense even more than it already is, and cost us a pretty penny that could go to someone who actually you know...plays defense and isn't weak minded.

I called LMA to the Spurs (with the core, unlike you lol) since March. Meanwhile, the Lakers wallow in the lottery while getting rejected by free agents left and right, including their own, who is in Houston.
But at least y'all got Sacre lol
Cleveland has to go all in for that chip while Bron is still capable of being the best player on the court most nights, if OKC was in Cleveland's position they woulda let Love or TT walk.
Save us, Cubes!
By lovingsteam Go To PostI'm assuming that was geared towards me.
Nah, you've been consistent. I'm talking to those pretending that the Lakers didn't really want a star player and wanted role players like Lopez. Some people just can't hold their Ls.

I also said LMA was going to the Spurs. And they still might have to trade Mills (as I said they'd have to) unless the cap went up high enough.
Why are you so obsessed with the Lakers. Other than Dwight, top FAs have also rejected Houston for years now.
Us Laker fans are just fine with the situation. It would be one thing if all of us were all in on LMA or whatever, but we're not. We just want a normal build up.
Houston's in danger of entering a treadmill. be focused more on that if you're a fan.
LA clearly wanted LMA above all else with DeAndre as 2nd on their list, I was always kewl with getting young-ish starting quality guys and really going for it when Kobe is done after this season and hoping the young guys prove themselves.
By thekad Go To PostNah, you've been consistent. I'm talking to those pretending that the Lakers didn't really want a star player and wanted role players like Lopez. Some people just can't hold their Ls.
No one is saying the Lakers didn't want a star player. I said the Lakers weren't really going after Love and that's because EVERYONE knew Love was returning.
The only "stars" actually in play are LMA and DAJ. I've never argued the Lakers don't want them. That's you setting up a straw man.
Leonard/LMA/Twilight Duncan front court gonna be pretty fearsome next season
8th seed -> 5th seed -> 2nd seed = treadmill
Biggest free agent other than Lebron to change teams = top FAs not feeling y'all
Meet LMA first and bring literally everyone = couldn't care less, Robin Lopez is the real prize
LMAO, take your L and go home

Your reading comprehension sucks. I said be worried about entering one, I didn't say you're in one yet.
And your LMA comment is about as stupid as one could be.
I literally just posted to you, directly, "The only "stars" actually in play are LMA and DAJ. I've never argued the Lakers don't want them. That's you setting up a straw man."
And then you set up the exact same straw man.
By Mamba Go To PostIf the Cavs turn Haywood into a real player…that payroll is going to be absolutely insane.
That payroll was insane during Lebron's last go around with Cleveland too. Comic Sans and all, Gilbert's always been willing to overpay dudes to compete.
It was always about Love wanting to go or wanting to stay, the $ was always earmarked for him.
