Don't bother trading for KL now. Get him for free next summer and keep Ingram.


Yep, agree...no point in going any futher and trading our young talent. I can’t imagine the NBA is too thrilled by all this, but hey...us lakers did this for decades and we enjoyed it.

Were any of them all star level players under 30? Let's see how it goes with Cousins.

I guess we bringing back Dwight Howard lol

while the Warriors appeared to have more calculated moves it seems like the Lakers FO acted like a blind kid in a candy store grabbing the first player they could reach once they got Lebron

I wonder if Stern was still around, if he would have interfered with this one.

Probably not.

Insanity. Doesn’t someone somewhere say wait the warriors can’t become an all star team and sign everyone. I get he’s injured but last year when healthy in 48 minutes dude averaged 25/12/5.

I hate the warriors so much. No other team in nba history has had to cheat, yes I said if, CHEAT to this extent to win fake ass asterisk championships.

Kobe did it five times with one other guy and role players.

Lebron with over the hill wade and bosh and Kyrie.

Jordan with pippen.

Etc. etc.

The warriors just ugh.

So with the Warriors adding Cousins will the NBA still feel the need to rig playoffs games like the WCF g6, g7, and finals g1 for the Warriors?

We get JaVale and they get Boogie. Same price... makes sense.


Yea. He probably won't be ready till February, while our player is ready to go.

Plus whos to say he can keep up with the team pace after an achilles recovery ??

I can't recall if they were All-Star caliber, but some were under 30 and none of them were 6-11 270lbs.

If we are being honest the Lakers weren't contenders this upcoming season. The teams that really are hurt by this are the Rockets/Celtics and maybe the Sixers.

Sixers have to be thinking do we even rent Kawhi for a year? What is the point?

Rockets have to feel pretty bad. They had the Warriors last year before CP3 got hurt. Now good bleeping luck.

IF Cousins returns to some semblance of his old game, how the hell would he fit in there? He's not an uptempo center, and he's not a defensive minded one either. That's what GSW needed - not another offense-first scoring threat.

I feel like they wouldn't have done this if the Logo were still working for them.

Yup. They got the juice now. After Lebron our signings have been awful.
