JUST GIVE US THE FUCKING TROPHY RIGHT NOW BRO
GSW IS DONE
LAKERS ARE #1 EASILY RIGHT NOW
AD AND LEBRON ARE TOP 5 PLAYERS ON THE SAME TEAM
KUZMA MAD UNDERRATED, GREAT SCORER AND WE KEPT HIM
CAP SPACE FOR A 3RD STAR
GREAT DAY TO BE A LAKER
FUCK THE HATERS TALKING SHIT
WE WON THIS TRADE
WE GOIN ALL THE WAY

Pelicans made the Lakers look like bitches lol

here's a scenario: kawhi stays with the raptors, but they let danny green and marc gasol go. how would you fill the gap?

Have fun with blod clots Ingram and no shot Lonzo fucking up your cap for years to come. That fatass Zion hasn't even played 40 minutes in a game and you're acting like he's the next LeBron, lol

Let's all not forget Frank Vogel is gonna get canned sometime after Christmas and it's the Jason Kidd show.

>AD AND LEBRON ARE TOP 5 PLAYERS

Kawhi, KD, Curry, Giannis, Harden

which 2 are they better than?

>Marc Gasol leaves

He isn't going to leave that $25 million player option on the table, and the Raptors will probably still want to keep him around against traditional bigs

So what will be the "reason" Vogel gets canned?

jimmy butler and boogie (if he'll sign for less)

I know boogie played like shit in the finals but we had small glints of hope, I'm sure once he recovered he'll be okay and a good rotation with ibaka (if he stays too)

but honestly I'm pessimestic, we always can only sign third rate free agents

masai should just rebuild once kawhi leaves

AD is overrated. Lakers will be irrelevant in the coming years, Lebron will continue to age, whatever FA they sign with their cap space won't be able to carry them over the hump, and the moment one of them gets injured their season is pretty much over.

This is the reality that you need to accept. The sooner, the better, but I get it, continue to enjoy the honeymoon phase LA buds, because you aren't going to get what you think you're going to get.

The Lakers still fucking suck, come to me when they win shit

When they're playing .500 ball because nobody wants to play defense before the ASB

giannis and curry

Kawhi is an understated GOAT
KD will be a husk
Curry is a fraud that needs a supporting cast
Giannis while a good player, is overrated and needs a chip to prove his worth
Harden is nice shooter with uncanny ability to get fouls whenever he wants

I'll enjoy my 60 win seasons for years to come while the lakers choke away their few years of playoffs hahaha. Y'all pulled some Brooklyn shit and that organization is STILL recovering

Who will be on the cover for 2k20?

>35 year old boomer
>injury prone center who hasn’t been out of the first round

Watch of for the lakers LMAO PATHETIC

lmao yeah sure enjoy being the 10th seed for years to come

this is just beginning boys. the laker dynasty is being built by queen jeanie as we speak. look at all this mental gymnastics "waaaa no defense" waaaa overrated waaaaaa injury waaaaaa waaaa waaaa. this is just the begining all good things come in 3's and we got 1 more top 10 player coming and he has dreads

Oh, but the Lakers HAVE won(Many such cases actually!).

You guys fear the massive amount of shiposting coming from Lakers fans the next two years. I get it. We are insufferable and we're proud of it. Now suck our cock and take backseat to the greatest organization in NBA history.

My Rapties will booty blast any team on the planet

Lakers and warriors finna fight for 8th seed

Pellies gonna run. London don’t need to shot he needs pass time n transition

It's fun to be the most hated and feared team again. NBA fans seethe and we just keep making them stacks. And we'll have plenty of capspace to sign Zion when he inevitably becomes a Laker too. Cause the Pelicans are basically our farm system. They have all of our farm players now.

I got a cousin who works in the raptors front office. they're going after Beal. he's always been the guy they've coveted.

the pelicans will be godly now

damn you got defensive bro. see you in a year

>NOLAfags laughing at anyone else for STILL recovering

Why would the Lakers rather give up a future first round pick instead of Kuzma, they have no assets to trade for another player if they need to, they literally cannot afford to sign a single bad contract for the next 3 years

this

the lakers are building around a corpse and the pelicans are going to be trapped trusting a process for the next decade.

Pellies going to run themselves to the IR with all those injury risks on one team. Fatass Zion needs to lose 20 pounds before I can take him seriously as a long-term prospect.

No need to be so seething. I mean honestly, the behavior of Lakers fans really shows everyone why you're so despised.

well because kuzma is actually a pretty decent player and its a bit embarrassing that the pels couldn't land him.

CJ Miles, Wayne Elligton, and Danny Green are good pickups for the Lakers
KCP is trash
DO NOT WANT

Probably because Kuzma is already a starter level shooter on a cheap contract. Also, you guys do realize the trade won't go through until another 30 days, right? It's the same thing as the Kevin Love trade. Lakers will have enough to sign Kemba or Kawhi.

Kuzma has already shown that he is more consistent than Lonzo and Ingram on a much cheaper contract. Only retards think the Lakers lost this trade. The fact that the Lakers still have plenty in capspace is huge too. Lakers will not be done with this trade. More signings to come.

Kawhi would never want to play with a diva like CP3.

He announced that he will retire after next season around a week ago, he came off the bench this year in the Hawks so we don't know which team he'll hop to next

It is too late for him to withdraw since the deadline was May 29th, and IFF he somehow injures himself before next year's draft he might be fucked financially

Declaring free agency doesn't mean Butler is going anywhere, he could just re-sign with Philly on June 30th

People do realize that Lonzo and Ingram were considered jokes that weren't even worth trading Bradley Beal for, right? Also, the 4th pick in the draft isn't worth much. Where the Pellies really won this trade is the future first round picks after LeDecline is over.

That is an absolute shitload of draft picks. Lebron will retire before a bunch of those picks convey.

What a great trade for the Pelicans

so is the Ball family dynasty in Phoenix officially over?

This is good, but Lakers are still too high. Put them on 3.

Ah, the tears will be delicious. It reminds me of all the tears I drank from Celtics fans after they lost to the Lakers in 2010. I missed the tears of the haters so much. It's good to be back.

need him for embid.

beal would fucking kick so much ass on this team. it'd cost OG, and a first, but it's worth it.

he would go to the ABL and just ride the bench most of the time and only come in and dunk all over opponents when he felt like it.

the only downside for him is that it makes him wait one more year to become a free agent and that next year the pels could pick first again (or the hornets/some other moribund franchise in a wasteland). he'd be fine going to chicago or new york even if those teams are doomed from a basketball perspective.

Is more accurate

Lebron will collapse again this season, if they make the playoffs it's a 1st round exit

so did sparky finally kill himself?

The problem is with the flattened odds draft picks are more of a crapshoot than ever.

Lebron again

Patrick McCaw

Butler is going to the lakers because new shiny team in the making. Hell I would too than having to be paid like shit for a team about to go into another process again, and also having to pay for that shit nugget city again.

8*

The best thing that he can do for his brand is play well. There's some advantage to doing it in New York, but if he's good, he's good. And the Pelicans seem like they're going to do a smart job of building talent around him, so far. It's not the same FO that wasted AD's career.

Plus, like... the quicker that you get into the league, that's the quicker you get to your second contract, quicker you get to your third contract, etc. It's financially unsound to go to Australia instead of getting in there as soon as you can.

If the Lakers can sign Kemba, then they will be able to hide LeBron for half a season then UNLEASH him come playoff time.

Is Curry gonna to average 40 points and 25 3pa per game next season?

Basically rule the NBA will bank roll the first league on mars and the colors purple and gold alone are enough to send people spiraling into an uncontrollable rage

no, they need to max Jerebko

lowry

Yeah, Butler to the Lakers is almost a guarantee at this point unless Kawhi decides to come instead.

No, he is a 32 year old manlet. At best he'll be as good as Ray Allen was in his Celtics days.

imo that makes it even more valuable to have multiple bites at the apple

Rondo playing point guard I guess and then their bench uh doesn't exist

Lonzo was elite on defense and learning how to grow as a young man in the league, then they just trade him for AD, hopefully him and Zion will build a dynasty there.

they couldn't even get kuzma and while there is an allure to all these picks the new lottery rules mean they really cannot be counted on. i guess it was the best deal the pels could've gotten for davis but really, the fact that it got to this point to me is reason enough to do whatever it takes to play somewhere else.

The NBA draft is a crapshoot. What if the Pelicans fuck up and are in the lottery with the Lakers. Then they would both have virtually the same odds regardless of the swap.

People act like swaps are a bad thing. Not anymore in today's NBA.

>3 literally whos who will leave NO as soon as their contracts end vs their star player

They wouldn't want Kuzma. It would make no sense for them to have Kuzma. He plays the same position as Zion, and is worse, and is older.

>while there is an allure to all these picks the new lottery rules mean they really cannot be counted on.

It's still valuable to have picks and swaps even if you can't count on them. Worst case scenario, they give you assets to use in future trades.

>the fact that it got to this point to me is reason enough to do whatever it takes to play somewhere else.

But the owner and the GM from the Anthony Davis era are both gone. It's a totally different organization.

A swap is actually really good if both picks are in the lottery, because that means that if the other team wins the lottery, you get the pick.

my lakies

Honestly, I'm surprised people think Lonzo and Ingram still have value. Those guys are injury prone as all hell. Of course the Lakers had to add future picks to make this trade work.

Pelicans aren't inept like the Lakers. They won't be a tanking 5 years from now, unlike the Lakeshits have been for 10

Flyover fans don't realize the middle of the country is a just a farm system for the real NBA on the West Coast and East Coast.

Lakers basically bought 2 or 3 banners before Lebron retires. All for the price of some crap players and irrelevant picks.

>Implying MJ will make the Hornets great after the team has been mediocre at best for the last decade

The team is fucked whether Kemba stays or goes due to being stuck in Cap Hell (if Kemba stays though then they are extra fucked due to the Supermax), and given how bad they have drafted they'll treadmill like the Pistons in the near future at best.

This, undisputed. Not even Clipanada can maintain it anymore.

They're not even the 5th best team in the West. Not even top 10 in the NBA

It was a necessary trade for them. And it's worth it as long as AD resigns, and Lebron stays healthy another few years. But it's really really risky. They basically have no margin for error now. That's what draft picks and assets and depth are - they provide a margin for error.

need a fucking wing, unfortunately

They're not worth Anthony Davis. If it was 1 and 3 firsts plus 2 1st swaps MAYBE but BOTH? Hell no

I think Ball was the biggest reach in the draft since Anthony Bennett, but even I can see he's still a decent to good role player as his ceiling. Ingram is a decent defender and could be a better player similar to Otto Porter in 3 years.

Lakers have more boomers which means they're better by default

this, if Kawhi goes to the Clippers they're the only lock to a championship next season

I'm not saying that they're doomed. I'm saying that they don't have margin for error. They have to get great contributions from AD and Lebron, and they have to get great contributions with MLE, and vet min guys.

If they had more draft picks, they could use draft picks to get other good players to make up for it if they sign a bad vet min guy, or somebody gets injured, or whatever other random shit happens. but it's harder to make up for those errors when you don't have a lot of assets.

when is /nba/ going to realize that Ingram and Lonzo are nothing more than salary dumps? Now the Lakers don't have to worry about blood clot man fucking up their capspace. They can pay Kuzma 1.5 million a year two more years while they look to fill out their roster.

The reason why Griffin did this trade was because of the future picks he is getting.

that's a fucking great bench but is it possible?

shiet

NBA champs > offseason champs

NBA champs*

fix that for you

all free agents apparently, i checked on nba free agent tracker, they just have to buy into the dream.

Clips have 2 maxes open, don't they?

So he has to face lebron and AD, but he also gets another star with him. Plus he has a HOF championship coach on his side instead of Jason Kidd. Plus he has a bunch of useful role players and promising rookies who actually were good enough to make the playoffs without him last year, instead of Kyle Kuzma and literally no one.

*

You'll be as forgotten as the 2004 Pistons.

this whole trade seems fishy. How much do you want to bet Adam Silver told the pelicans before the draft lottery he would give them the #1 pick ONLY if he traded AD to the lakers? think about it, that jew's probably foaming at the mouth trying to make LA contenders again. It just doesn't make sense for the pelicans to want to do this unless there was also something seriously corrupt going on behind the scenes

I tell ya. The Lakers are gonna regret trading Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, he is the perfect shooting guard for Bron and AD.

>we know other teams are offering way more money but sign with our team for 3 mil okay?

>Pat Bev
I wish. So, the question is Kawhi + Rondo vs Kemba + Butler? On paper the second one seems better, but I think that Kawhi is too good to pass up.

nobody else even wants to go to the clippers. kawhi doesn't even want to

Ingram and Lonzo probably aren't amazing but they're still really young and can be at least useful basketball players, and who knows maybe one of them randomly goes nuts

I think Ariza and Thad Young are probably going to get paid too mch for that to work out, at the very least

>get extra money
>chance at a title which no other team will give them, and to play with one of the greatest of all time

lmao

no depth

Raptors in 4

So what was magic’s plan ?

Bro why are you acting so cocky now?

How in the hell is

Lonzo Ball, Brandom Ingram (isn't he supposed to be the next KD?), Hart, and THREE FIRST ROUND PICKS

<

1 year of Anthony Davis?

What a braindead trade. The Lakers have no depth, no bench (they traded that away last year) and they've mortgaged their team's future for the next 4+ years for an old Lebron and an easily injured AD. Stupid.

Hey Lakers fan, how is Dlo doing since you traded him?

Depends on what other big men we have once the season starts. But Davis and Kuzma starting would spread the floor nicely, and it's not like AD will get bullied by C's.

If the Raptors 3-peat and Lebron is signs another 3 year deal with the Lakers at the ripe old age of 39, will ESPN still cover the Lakers in 90% of their broadcasts?

DeRozan + Potlel + 1 late draft pick for Kawhi (top 2 player in the league) AND Danny Green.

holy shit a bunch of 30th picks and maybe a Tristan Thompson level player if they're lucky. That's definitely going to be a contender

The deal was probably something along the lines of "Give us Kuzma or 2 first round picks", Kuzma fits as a catch and shoot player alongside them, Ball would've probably been the better keep as I doubt his terrible scoring ability would matter alongside Lebron/Davis/Whoever they bring in.

Is /rbl/ dare I say it, back?

Ingram is the best player of the bunch but plays the same position as Lebron and they can’t play good together. Filling Lonzo and Hart at the same time could be tricky, they basically need a new backcourt in free agency. Kuzma+Lebrom+AD can all play at once in their natural positions and space the floor well and there is a lot of flexibility with stuff like LeBron at 4 or AD at 4 sokeeping Kizma makes the most sense.

>TrAdED FuTuRe PiCkS

Fuck the draft LA can pull free agents whenever they want to. Its the fucking Lakers not exactly a smallmarket

Lakies, how many championships will the new dynasty bring? I'm going to be conservative and say six.

I thought Kyrie was joining KD in Brooklyn too but KD going down changes things. Now I'm thinking might as well give it a shot. It would be the best thing for Kyrie's career but he does have a lot of pride. Guess we'll find out soon

The West is an old man's league now with the injuries of the Warriors and the gutting of the Lakers core (the main reason why the Warriors lost was because they had no bench--they mortgaged everything on a handful of superstars, and they lost, big time). As a result, the Rockets are now the strongest team in the West, and I can see them facing off against the Raptors if Kawhi re-signs with the Raptors (it has been reported that Kawhi wants to sign a short-term deal of say 2-3 years with the Raptors).

Does it worry any Lakers fan that the margin of error for their Front Office is now razor thin, since they cannot expect a rebuild if say Lebron and/or AD gets seriously injured again, for the next 6 years?

Also, why does Lebron gut and completely ruin any franchise he is with after he leaves? The Lakers will be a G league team after he retires in 2022.

Its still dumb.

They could’ve drafted somebody good to round out the roster and just waited a year for AD to come over free of charge. They did the Pelicans a bigger favor than anything.

I get LeBron has a window, but that windows gonna shut regardless and the draft lottery doesn’t reward tanking because Philly trusted the process a little too hard

>tfw they have no picks for the next 4 years for a rental of Anthony Davis

This season could be catastrophic. I get the window is as open as ever, but the roster is still thin as fuck, the FO is still cancerous and AD hasn’t experienced the brunt of the LeBron media cycle yet. Give it time, the Lakers will eat shit from this deal sooner than later.

No wonder he retired early

All the best young players are in the West:

So no, the West is definitely not an old-man league. They have too much up-and-coming talent.

If Kawhi comes to the Lakers expect this board to die and for the trolls to go become soccer fans. The entire /nba/ will be Lakers fans. It will be more severe trolling than the Warriors had the last five years. Faggots like Larry could only dream of the power of Lakers trolling.

everyone knows the red and orange sets are the best, but Boardwalk-Park Place fits more as a Lebron-AD analogy

>[@jackfrank_jjf] Woj says there could be mutual interest between Jimmy Butler and the Lakers if Butler and the Sixers can’t reach an agreement on a long-term deal.
SORRY REST OF THE LEAGUE (ESPECIALLY DELUSIONAL LAKER KEKS) LOOKS LIKE JIMMY BUTLER IS A SIXER FOR THE NEXT 5

why the fuck would anyone leave a team they just won a chip with, ffs, anyone here ever played any sports other than starting the power to the console?

>LA vermin somehow think they're getting jimmy butler because he liked a thing on bleacher report about the AD trade

oh that's cute.

The problem is Lonzo can't shoot to save his life so it would be like playing 4 on 5 with Lonzo being the Andre Roberson type. Kuzma will be able to help LeBron rest and Davis can be the defensive anchor down-low.

People really overrate defense nowadays. The league has changed a lot. Even the Warriors without Klay and KD still almost beat the Raptors because of their elite shooting ability.

wtf does this meme mean

you shouldn't be worried about kuzma.

you should be worried of another decade of being the least relevant team in the NBA.

all of em lmao bron and AD are top 2

All it takes is one....

yeah, literally see jimmy's only interested in the lakeshits as a plan b, but sixers are gonna give him the max

Im sure when he joins you obsessed cucks will pretend as if he was never good.

Should Lakers sight Jonas valančiunas?

How do the Lakers beat the Blazers with CJ and Dame shooting 3s all day?

>AD

is he a perimeter defender?

good shooter but can't play defense

FUCK OFF BUTLER, YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE YEARS AGO. AND YOU DITCHED US. ROT IN PHILLY FAGGOT.

WE KAWHII NOW.

>it’s our season for sure this time guys! Choke Paul and James Tampon won’t let us down!

>Was about to ask if Lakers being the champions for the next season is locked in
>See this

How do the Blazers even come close stopping AD down low?

Also, CJ and Dame are too small to handle the rigors of the playoffs. Plus, shooting guards are a dime a dozen in the current NBA. It's much harder to find elite front line players.

tha'ts why we're going to get Pat Bev for D and we going to throw peanuts at KCP to contain CJ Mcdonalds

we're his plan B, but jimmy was our plan D after Kawhi, Kemba, and Kyrie.

injuries will stop AD like always

Dilation is something trannies do to keep their fake vaginas from closing up.

>"Laker's gonna never win another championship. Shit, they never gonna win anodda game. Lonzo mudderfuckin gonna win every game. Win mudderfuckin 15 championships by the time we out. Sheet, we gonna buy the franchise and I'll just rename it to the Ballas. mudderfuckin genius!"

I really wish Canada would go away. They know absolutely nothing about sports that aren't hockshit. They only come around when their teams are in the playoffs because they are mindless third world trolls.

I want this to fail like dwight howard but essentially this is like Kareem getting magic at the end of his career

I'll be capping this for when Harden wins MVP, drops 40 ppg, 45 ppg in the playoffs, and wins a chip and the FMVP, all on the most efficient scoring the NBA has ever seen

>implying ANY OF THOSE PLAYERS would go to the lakeshit
wew
seethe, the east runs through toronto and philly now

next season

Yeah, AD and LeBron >>>> Dwight and Kobe + old man Nash

Also, lets not forget that the Lakers have a bunch of cap left to sign quality players. This is not like 2013 at all.

>harden winning a ring
lol that will never happen

retard paul george should have signed with the lakers

Nah. Magic was THE best rookie of all time and no health issues at the time. AD is DRose 2.0.

>Zo is gone

N-No...now I can't spam BBB in the buff chat when my lakies play! BRING HIM BACK! BRING HIM BACK! BRING HIM BA-

interesting. thanks user

please AD had already been putting up monster numbers more than rose

Yeah but that fo is suspect

Dont worry he'll be back after he gets released by Minnesota in 2 years

>Harden
>Ever winning a chip

Him and DeRozan will retire ringless and be known as nothing but playoff chokers and there's nothing they can do about it, it is only fitting that they are both from Compton too

fucking this lmao

>old man lebron + AD

people think AD is Kevin Durant, meanwhile Lebron is old as shit and the one thing that can help (young players) are all gone.

OHNONONONONONO

HAAAAAAAAAAA

Damn wtf they killed off that loli?

Lmao westbrick will ensure him another 1st round exit. Then his health will decline and PG will waste the rest of his career on a lottery team

Only a Lakers fan could possibly ignore how horrible their front office is, the way their former players view and laugh at management, and how embarrassing they have been for the last 3 years and make this post

No free agent wants to be with the Lakers but LeBron and that's because he's not using the Lakers for just basketball he's Hollywood hills searching

BBB going to your local TJ Maxx

Lebron is big enough to make the career last long esp. in todays nba

Cringe
Stop seething celcuck

If Melo signs with the Lakers they are guaranteed for last place.

Hahahahahha

He played in 1 NBA finals without an allstar, and promptly got crushed by the Spurs. Kyrie played and got hurt in the other. That still doesn't account for 3-6 in the Finals.

No chance.
Both injuries take around a year to recover from. KD and Klay aren't playing next season.

AD doesn't even win in the playoffs.
The guy is a career loser.

>Down low
>with Lebron
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Have you ever seen Lebron play? AD will be forced to be a spot up 3 point shooter just like Love and Bosh. Lebron needs the lane clear to play his style of ball.

>he will leave
>they should have gotten him for free next year
pick one retard

>we gun get AD
