This contract is either going to be an anchor or a ridiculous value depending on one single Achilles.

For those asking: if the #Knicks sign Robin Lopez, they'll lose the ability to absorb David Lee's $15 million contract in a trade.
By K@do Go To Postso phil is a better closer than mitch.Robin just wants to be close to his brother.
w/e. i'll take the L.

Kings gonna give up Stauskas, JT, Landry's broke ass and the primary rights on three picks to sign James Anderson and Omri Casspi.
By etiolation Go To PostKings gonna give up Stauskas, JT, Landry's broke ass and the primary rights on three picks to sign James Anderson and Omri Casspi.If you're looking to overpay some guys anyway, Deron Williams is available...
Holy shit motherfuckers this is not a drill I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
Jason Jones – Verified account @mr_jasonjones
The Kings expressed some interest in Deron Williams last season. If Rondo says no, the Kings could call Brooklyn for PG help.

-League won't do any business with Kings
-Vlade discovers stretch provision, stretches Landry and waives him
-Sign Rondo and wing
-Vivek starts thinking of total overhaul, entertains bad trade ideas again from predatory teams
-Ownership group revolts and forcefully ousts Vivek as lead partner
-New "face" of ownership tells Karl to get with it or get out
-Kings try to say the things have changed again, have to rebuild complete disaster
-Arena gets built, named Golden One, The Union of Soul Eaters
-PDA finds a way to fire Mike Malone again
-Kings offer to swap coaches instead
-Rumor leaks that Demarcus Cousins has given birth
-Drought dries up Sacramento River
-Fish people grow lungs, rise up
-Kevin Johnson shakes someone's hand
-Rudy Gay looks at his contract and cries himself to sleep
-Repeat last step
-WCS gets interviewed, says pretty happy with fish people ownership
-Vivek decides to back out of agreed trade with the Philly
-League won't do any business with Kings
-Vlade discovers stretch provision, stretches Landry and waives him

Please basketball gods let Rondo sign with LA and drive Vivek to desperation
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostPls LA just be terrible, don't take on David Lee, he still has talent.
you gonna be terrible
By DominicanPower Go To PostPsy you suck.Cavs cheese 2 stronk
By Forever Go To PostYAAAAAAAAS
Please basketball gods let Rondo sign with LA and drive Vivek to desperation
I was talking Mavs but it's only a 2 year at most risk
By psychintellect Go To PostCavs cheese 2 stronkprops on those two KD triples to send it into OT tho
By blackace Go To PostI was talking Mavs but it's only a 2 year at most riskI know, I'm just giddy that there might actually be a market for that contract. As in more than one team that might potentially be interested in trading us assets for it.
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostPls LA just be terrible, don't take on David Lee, he still has talent.
We're not getting a top 3 pick man. That's like asking to win a chip.

Dwill still can be a good player... just not 20 mil good... but a team like the Mavs might be able to deal with it
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostPls LA just be terrible, don't take on David Lee, he still has talent.bring back the old gang.
Smush parker, Bynum, Kwame Brown, Sasha just to mess with kobe in his last season as a laker.
By K@do Go To Postbring back the old gang.
Smush parker, Bynum, Kwame Brown, Sasha.
I can see it now
reports from Smush's camp is he wasn't impressed with the Lakers presentation
By Vahagn Go To PostWe're not getting a top 3 pick man. That's like asking to win a chip.
It's not like that ....bottom 3 teams got between 45-60% shot at bottom 3. The alternatives for LA are less desirable IMO.

the bold fucking slayed me
If actually love for LMA to go to Houston tbh. From a purely entertainment standpoint, Harden-LMA combo would be absolutely nuts to watch.
If Dwight could grow a fee brain cells and stop asking for post ups.
But they'd have to give up too many other pieces for it to work, right?

Tim MacMahon – Verified account @espn_macmahonThat's not bad at all.
I hear Mavs' 4-year deal with Wesley Matthews will probably average about $13 million per year. Flexible depending on DeAndre decision.
I think Vivek lost all credibility when his 4 on 5 defense thing became public. Clownshoes ass tech owners buying the NBA is shitty.

Lakers apologized to LMA for not getting into more hoops at first mtg, when it was over an hour before Kupchak/BScott talked
more proof mitch and jim are out of touch. holy shit quit already.

it's what got em Shaq lol
By blackace Go To Postit's what got em Shaq lol
No, a massive contract in an era with no salary cap or max contracts that Orlando wasn't willing to match got them Shaq.
He's already been on record saying he would have never left if Orlando didn't disrespect him in the press and offered that kind of money

Researched it, and this is an interesting take
they lowballed him I know but at that time was really focused on making movies it was a large factor in his departure ...
in his own words 50 percent was his own selfishness... and had a lot to do with what he was doing outside of hoops

So Mitch can strike gold in trades but he's not looking to good in signing free agents. Apparently can't convince anyone to come to LA :(.
By The Frankman Go To PostThat's what I thought. Didn't seem possible.
By Nelo Ice Go To PostSo Mitch can strike gold in trades but he's not looking to good in signing free agents. Apparently can't convince anyone to come to LA :(.More like wrong strategy. You can't always go for home runs. While you wait for the max contract free agents, which are unlikely to come to begin with, all the mid level guys are being signed elsewhere.
