Well if Kurt Helin is reporting it, it must be true. Lol. |

It's pretty straightforward. Rich Paul and Pelinka have a meeting to talk about Lebron and KCP. Rich Paul butt dials AD while in the meeting by accident. |

These media people don't even know how the cap works. Pincus and Coon do and they were even wrong. !st they said the Lakers couldn't do it because of the date, then that was false, then they couldn't do it because of the trade kicker, that was false, then they couldn't do it unless they sweeten the deal along with Bonga and Mo.
Looks to me there are many paths to it and the media doesn't know what path the Lakers are taking. They have been wrong about this whole process since they started talking about the date and moving off that to the other scenarios.
But people in here want us to believe them because of name recognition but don't believe the cap guy that owned them all because nobody has heard of him. _________________ Previously LBJ23 |

He’s saying basically if he comes back to a Championship team, he’s staying. Let’s say both him and Leonard go to the Lakers. Does he come off the bench or does Kuzma go to the bench? And no, Lebron isn’t starting at the point and neither is Green.

Does Kuz come off the bench anyways? Lebron doesn’t want to play full time PF and AD doesn’t want to play full time C. |

Does Green really want to come off the bench as it would possibly affect his future earnings. |

I've mentioned it before, but it's no coincidence that the media was running with the idea that the Lakers only had $24M in cap room to play with UNTIL Lord's article came out. I'm positive that none of the mainstream guys knew that the Lakers basically already had max cap space and just needed to find a 3rd team to add to the AD trade to make salaries match. Again, it isn't a coincidence that all these mainstream reporters changed their tune AFTER Lord's article came out.
I encourage you guys to check out Lord's tweets. He debunks a lot of the stuff that's being thrown out there. |
I agree.
If it happens or not, it's a good read if you want to learn a bit more about working the cap. |

He was benched in the finals a few times, is about to be 32, this is the last time he is getting a good contract. There are no future earnings. Will be minimum or retire after this contract. _________________ Previously LBJ23 |

I post here a lot because it focuses on the Lakers.
This seems to be the general sentiment across the board no matter the platform.
I'm just hoping that in spite of the overpay... LBJ and Rob have somehow convinced Kawhi or Kyrie. |

Yeah, I post there too... I post on Twitter... Instagram.
Most people do who read on a variety of subjects.
I read here because until recently it provided a lot of Lakers specific information.
Right now it's hard to separate the good information from the propaganda though.
Can't wait until it's over so things go back to normal. |

Pelicans are picking up Jahlil Okafor’s team option for the 2019-2020 season, league sources tell ESPN. The New Orleans staff is impressed by the way Okafor has reworked his body and the improvements he’s made on the defensive end of the floor. |
Congrats Jahlil. |

Nope. Elite block rate last year along with great steal rate and good finisher around the rim. Can backup AD or even play with him and give us really good switching. That Room exception is earmarked for a Klutch client and i'd give it to him 1000% over numbskull KCP. |
KCP is not signing for that anyways. But KCP fits better right now with this roster assuming they could get at large of a discount because he a NBA starting guard. Not saying an all-Star but a starter none the less in this league. Right Now we have ZERO guards. If For whatever reason it came down to either KCP or Noel (it won’t), but if for some odd reason they were same price, it’s a no brainer to sign KCP. Hell even Bullock or Mike M gets the nod over Noel. |
Someone's gonna use cap space to pay KCP? More than 5 mil? That'd be great news for us, but i find it unlikely. |

You are missing the point. Social media allows you to select the opinions you want. You follow those who are like minded. People select CNN or FOX News. You hear what you want to hear. You follow the new agencies or people you want to follow. |
