I hope this Leonard/Pop circus keeps up. It will drive the trade price down. Soon it will be Deng for Leonard straight up!!!
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...s-possible-tampering-ahead-free-agency-period Lakers warn team employees about tampering. About 10 days from July 1. Jeanie and her right gal Ramona aren't planting this if something ain't up.
Jeanie has been on one for about a week now, last week she sent a cryptic tweet out that said " don't ever underestimate.. " And Magic/Pelinka just added another draft pick Adrian WojnarowskiVerified account@wojespn The Lakers have acquired the 39th pick in Thursday’s Draft from the 76ers, league source tells ESPN. Lakers will send Philly its 2019 second round pick via Bulls and cash.
Also shed a big pussy. Howard BeckVerified account@HowardBeck "The (Hornets) locker room did not like Dwight Howard," @bwood_33 says on @SiriusXMNBA "Guys were just sick and tired of his act."
Somethings up. Lakers buying second round picks. Thing is they don't count against your cap until you sign them. Could use them to fill out your roster if you say gut it for a certain Spurs superstar then go sign a couple max guys
Something has been up for a long time. When I mentioned the reports from last year that Jeanie had personally met with Maverick Carter ( LeBron's business manager) several times the push back was real. I may be wrong, but I still fully believe LeBron's known he was coming to LAL for about a year now..why else would he just show up to Zo's summer league game? Dude sitting courtside in a purple shirt, he may as well have forced a trade mid-season, so they could send Deng over. Edit: Although, I guess LAL could still send Deng over for LeBron in a trade..a CP3/opt in type of thing with LeBron
Same thing about Dwight came out of Atlanta after he got the boot there..guys in Atlanta just tired of his BS..immaturity, woe is me, big money crybaby who mostly cares about fun. I'm watching ESPN a couple days ago and Dwight is on there whining/explaining " what happened in LA "..dude, that was years ago, why are you still explaining yourself? Lol Soft ass
I can't believe that trade. I had to do a double take like I did when we traded for Kemp. i was like huh????? That just pure hilarity. one one hand, Kupcake is dumping Dwight Howard for literally nothing, like nothing would've been better than what he got. And on the other hand, he is trading for MOZGOD, doubling down on the worst signing of his career. Gives any Lakers fan all the feels.
Looks like some think Mo Wagner could be LAL's target at #39 LAL didn't shoot the 3 ball as well they should have last year, so targeting shooting makes sense on multiple levels..especially if you're adding 2 or 3 max guys that create open shots
And now Laker reject Dwight joins Laker reject D'angelo on New York City's reject franchise Wouldn't be shocked if Dwight and D'angelo ended up being BFFs Birds of a feather..
Dwight is a clown. I know that the Hawks teammates got sick of him when he kept clowning around, and basically being selfish on court, but after a loss, he would be acting all tough and saying stuff like we win as a team and lose as a team, need to play harder, and ra ra ra BS. That would annoy anyone after awhile.
So LAL and SAS haven't had any trade talks yet, but SAS isn't pursuing Kawhi trades with anyone at all just yet, so it doesn't look as if they like this year's draft all that much I guess Zo looks a ton stronger, taking the offseason seriously it seems Hope he doesn't get too big, needs to be able to stick with PGs, but getting stronger will help when he switches onto bigger guys and he's already pretty good there Hopefully the focus is just on getting stronger and not adding a bunch of weight, 190-200 is good, hold tight there Cowherd isn't the best messenger because he hates Westbrook and wants LAL's superteam to come together very badly, but he did say today that his sources have said all the George staying in OKC stuff is being pushed by Westbrook's agent, FWIW But on the flip side, Westbrook's agent could be trying to drive a trade to the Clippers and help OKC leverage wise
I feel like the staying in OKC stuff could be something from PG13's team to you know make it seem like he hasn't made his mind up yet towards LA so we don't get busted for tampering.
Lots of theories out there, all seem pretty plausible, or most. I wouldn't be mad if LAL/George were just trolling OKC either, making them think they have something that they really don't
So Howard becomes a FA, but who would want him. He’s been a cancer everywhere he’s been. Ahhh....my bad. There’s always Sacramento.
