It's hard when everybody is playing second fiddle to some asshole who doesn't realize he's well past his prime.
By DY_nasty Go To Postsoooo dragic left because he was so happy that he couldn't contain it?
bledsoe just out there shopping himself after re-upping in phx?
isiah thomas didn't get thrown to the bushes?
but giri
chandler's injury history and age suddenly don't exist?
i told you phx was dumb as shit months ago

By psychintellect Go To PostPhoenix absolutely botched their point guard situation with Dragic and IT.
Chandler could very well disintegrate quite soon. He's 32.
I don't think anyone really saw IT/Bled/Dragic falling apart the way it did, but it went bad. It was always possible, but it's also possible that you'd fuck around with the MVP's long term health. Oh...
Dragic wanted out in the end, and he got out.
IT got done because he was a big part of the locker room discontent. Guys bit of a snake in the grass. Happy to front being all team, but behind closed doors apparently all he does is bitch about "me me me, you you you" so he gets guys into a players vs FO battle.
The Bledsoe Signing was always a risk, you can go back and read anything about it, everyone said the same thing. Only half a health season. Still needed to develop parts of his game. And he never got there, and the FO now thinks he won't. They should stubbornly hold onto a flawed guy? You could hide some of his flaws when you had Dragic there, but with out him it was obvious.
Chandler COULD fall apart. Or he could be traded to the best medical team in the league and be fine.

By DY_nasty Go To Postyou're like gwyneth paltrow the lakers fan right now. FA is the new food stamps
shitty teams have signed big names/good players before. even win-now players. it happens. i know you don't believe me tho.
all LA had to do was tell kobe to explain how great winning in LA was and how he's ready to bow out + money to sign young and upcoming players + low-key, fuck byron scott, we'll get our next coach with you in mind + do their homework on what guys like to hear
but naw. free agency is some unknown fucking jungle where attracting players to LA is hard all of a sudden
you don't understand, the meetings are being held while LA is all humid and gloomy. It even sprinkled yesterday.
By Branduil Go To Post$52 million for Chandler is too much. He wasn't even good in the playoffs this season.His blocks tho.
By Vahagn Go To PostBy being good. Duh. Love was miserable and that team/coaching/Lebron disrespected and benched him. He still signed.
Free agency isn't a rich get richer scheme. The good teams usually can't afford the top end players.
There's a lot of luck involved and not just one thing will a work all the time

You sound like someone who's been fed "we can't compete against the allure of big market teams" for so long as an excuse that you've bought it. A bottom of the barrel LA team hasn't attracted any star FA's in decades. Decades.
LMA doesn't spurn SAS, HOU, and POR for a full blown rebuild even if Kobe offers Vanessa on a nightly basis to him. Get your shit straight
LMA supposedly waiting for NY's pitch tomorrow to make a decision. Dawg, it's just LA's pitch with a more uncertain future.
By db Go To PostHis blocks tho.Too much exposure to JR.
I feel like the Cavs really need to do everything they can to keep Shumps. He's incredibly valuable if he just does his solid 3&D duties without forcing him to be the team's 2nd option in the NBA Finals.He can't actually be fetching that high of a price on the market. He's a former Knick for fuck's sake.
By SamuraiX- Go To PostBreh. Kyle Singler out here getting $25 million.

you guys haven't needed too lmao. you had two top 5 positional guys on your team nearly constantly. so no. you wouldn't be signing big names. you did, however, have guys taking paycuts to come and paycuts to stay. so i'm really not seeing how LA's struggle is bigger than Milwaukee's or Orlando's.

Yeah but I bet Melo wont tell him to stfu and get the rebounds though
I'm still quite pleased with the contracts we signed Brook and Thad to. They were completely unrestricted and could likely have gotten that money elsewhere.

RT @ShamsCharania: Free agent Paul Millsap has reached agreement with Atlanta on a likely two-year deal, third year option, league source tells RealGM.
By giririsss Go To PostLol, sure. Ok. How are your lakers too?Nothing revisionist about it. Check my receipts. I was shitting on PHX FO since before the season started. The writing was on the wall.

Cleveland got Lebron and Love. Memphis is locking up Marc. NOLA getting AD.
That small market shit is irrelevant. Yea we got people taking discounts to join contenders. As SA has, as Cle. And Miami and other contending teams do.
All you're doing is proving my point. Lakers as a bottom feeder haven't been more appealing than a contending Small market team since Kareem in the mid 70's.
If Orlando matches Shaq's offer in 96, he stays. Our success has been because we traded for Kobe. Just as SA traded for Kawhi.
We can't outpay people and we can't out compete them on the court. Global warming desert drought ass LA isn't a shoe in for FA's as long as Kobe offers to say nice things. Wtf is your head at
Should I feel happy with Brendan Wright signing with Memphis? I just know nothing about him.
Edit: Hold on, the dude who played with the Mavs then PHX last season. Nice!

literally stuck with Kyle Singler until 2020

I can't laugh because mamba but that's pretty good actually.
By Vahagn Go To PostWe TRADED for him. and Lakers didn't fuck that up. Everyone got injured.
Also, we were a 3rd seed in the playoffs that previous summer. I doubt dwight would have wanted to come to the 2015 version.
By K@do Go To Postdwight was traded to the lakers.ok, I remembered that part wrong.
and when he was an unrestricted FA, he bailed for Houston.
the issue is attracting big name FAs, not trading for one.
what I do remember is how he dictated being traded there in the first place (unless you believe he actually considered playing for the Nets lol) or Orlando was going to get nothing out of it.
Great signing of Brendan Wright for Memphis. Wish we could have gotten him. All it took was the MLE? Fucking steal.
Wade needs to hurry up and sign. All the reports are saying he's staying but the amount of years is the last hurdle.

I wonder if it was the Hawks or Millsap's decision to do a shorter deal. If it's the latter, he's deluding himself if he believes he'll fetch more than $20M/yr after he's 33 even when the cap space nearly doubles in '17-'18.

I like Wright in Memphis. But Mo.... man, he's the worst defensive PG in the game right now. I would've been hesitant giving him 2 years here in Charlotte but w/e. Memphis needs all the offense they can get.

Forced Conley into playing a ton of minutes he didn't really need to, and saw them give up SO many leads.
