MayorOfLA@MayorOfLA As we cheer our @Lakers 17th championship, please remember it's still not safe to gather in groups. Let’s honor our city's triumph by protecting others and making sure we don't spread the virus. Please celebrate safely at home. Do not gather at Staples Center. Thank you! Lol
“ Realistically, how many more championships can the Lakers win with LeBron James? ” “ Two, at least. We heard LeBron James last night say he had at least 4 or 5 good years left in him, and I believe him… and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lakers land another star this offseason. Don’t be surprised if they pull off something and they have another young star come move into LA, playing for the Lakers. ” - Kendrick Perkins Hmm.." young star "?? Final year of Zach Lavine's contract in Chicago. He could put the squeeze on their FO if he really wants to. And of course - https://bleacherreport.com/articles...is-his-dream-teammate-in-first-take-interview Draft night trade - whenever they decide to have the draft, that is - 28th overall draft pick in the 1st round + Kuzma + Talen Horton-Tucker + Danny Green. Done. But only if Lavine agrees to buy in on the defensive end and understands his place on the totem pole. He does that, he's clear to win titles w/LAL. He doesn't, stay and freeze in CHI.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...-add-third-scorer-76ers-trade-for-chris-paul/ 13. Los Angeles Lakers will trade Kyle Kuzma, Danny Green and a first-round pick for a third scorer The Lakers tried out the whole "Kyle Kuzma is our third star!" thing. It didn't work. He played the seventh-most minutes on the team in the Finals clincher and shot just 35.4 percent from the field in the series. Green is expendable with Avery Bradley likely returning and Alex Caruso and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope seemingly entrenched in the backcourt. So the Lakers will package their only young asset with their biggest expiring salary to look for the third scorer they lacked all season. Just a few possible names, in no particular order: Buddy Hield, DeMar DeRozan, Evan Fournier, Terry Rozier, Derrick Rose and LaVine. Some are more attainable than others there, and if all else fails, a straight-up Green for Tim Hardaway Jr. makes sense for both the Lakers and Mavericks. If the Lakers do better and land someone off of the original list, watch out for the Mavericks to try weasel their way into the deal with some picks in order to nab Green.
Here for all of it.. https://www.silverscreenandroll.com...boards-free-agency-press-conference-marketing Anonymous Lakers exec takes hilarious (apparent) shot at Clippers after title win The Lakers are taking their victory lap after winning the 2019-20 championship, and the Clippers appear to have caught a stray. The biggest verbal subtweet so far comes to us courtesy of an anonymous Lakers executive, speaking to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, and you can probably take a guess from the headline and their word choice who they’re talking about (emphasis mine): Said one senior Lakers executive: “ While some of our so-called rivals spent literally hundreds of millions of dollars trying to win media cycles, we kept our heads down and focused on basketball — because the only thing we’ve ever cared about winning is championships. ”
Appreciate AD for not dragging things out. Sooner the commitment..sooner they can start reaching out to other guys around the league that want to win chips with AD, LBJ, KCP and AC.. ..sooner the Clippers can start fuckin up again.
Paul George is simply a loser. Loser mentality, loser in the big moments, and loser in the locker room. Clippers will continue to take embarrassing Ls with him on the roster.
Apparently the whole Clippers locker room thinks he's a joke. Holds 0 accountability for his bad games and was pressing guys about coming back to make another "run" next year right after the embarrassing Nuggets L in game 7. Got a lot of eye rolls. His off court actions match his on court actions.
Oh OK. Knew that one already. Thought you were getting on him about something new, but you were just sort of adding on to my Clipper take. Lol Gotcha Clippers are expected to trade George this offseason. Heard something about the Knicks as a destination. He's definitely perfect for the Knicks Can you imagine that pairing?
