Lakeshits still have room for Morris, right? If they get him, then they may have saved this year of FA.

Also I'm hoping they find a PG other than Rondo to start, unless Lebron is dedicating next season to be the PG.

Can't even front, the Lakers roster has got better, they still need guards in a guards league though

>tfw time for the new dynasty

C'mon grizz, just buyout Iggy so we can sign him. Then I would feel alot better

Honestly even still a bit mad about it, seeing Kawhi and PG get booed in LA after we beat the shit out of them is gonna be glorious

I called Cousins to the Lakers
Now Lin just has to sign with Golden State or the Lakers and my predictions will be complete

Pelicans and Lakers just combined rosters and added raptors and warriors players

C: Cousins
PF: Davis
SF: Lebron
SG: Green
PG: Rondo
Bench: Kuzma, KCP, McGee, Caruso, Cousins Cook

This team is looking LIT

Free agent Rajon Rondo is signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources tell @ramonashelburne and me.

Rondo is back.

They burned their cap space for Danny Green, Javale and the other guy. Demarcus Cousins was a minimum salary signing.

Morris will probably sign where he can get paid the most, it would be a surprise if he returns to the Celtics.

Sam Presti traded #13 twice

Attached: OKC 13.jpg (799x600, 87K)

Lakers signed cousins and rondo to vet min which doesn’t affect the cap so they can still get Morris

Yeah a dynasty of second round exits
nuggets are the real new dynasty

meh
would prefer morris

Fuck! They took him over Caruso?!

jokic is winning mvp this year

Lakers are not getting morris and jamychel what a waste

remember when lakers fans were shiting on woj because he was doing his job? seems like it was a long time ago

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

both are massive faggots, they should hide for a couple of years so they stop talking retarded shit

Iggy or Morris?

Neither fit the team anyways. Lebron needs floor spreaders and rim protectors. Plus, Kuzma is basically a younger Marcus Morris with better post moves.

how many more ego's could the lakers handle?

Kawhi is a tampering asshole. Should be fined $10 million.

2nd round jobbers

> floor spreaders and rim protectors
yeah thats what comes to my mind when i see rondo

> Rondo PG
> Lebron gets desperate and starts bringing the the ball up 90% of the time because its back to the Lebron James system
How long before Rondo rocks Lebron's jaw in the locker room?

LETS BOOOOOGIE

It’s easy. Contract all Canadian teams.

Yeah, but with Rondo and Cook there he will hardly ever play, at least until Vogel notices Rondo's washed.

Jamychal would be mad useful tho

broussard said it was a done deal and pretends to be an expert. shannon is just a blowhard who talks big for clicks

>nuggies

>don't get that much better while the rest of the west does
Nurk will be back and we finally get rid of our two trash players Leonard and Turner. Not to mention White fucking side.

I'm a huge Whiteside fan. Whatever went wrong in Miami will be different here. Dame and CJ work real well with bigs.

Honestly yes, they would play hard as fuck.
Sadly, OKC has 2 unprotected Miami picks, so I don't see them helping Miami out.

Raptors couldn’t do anything anyways. It was either Kawhi or nothing.

I think people are underestimating what Boogie is still capable of

Nice headcanon retard

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WE;RE FUCKING BACK

/RBL/ IS LITERALLY STRONGER THAN EVER

did they?

god I hope Bulls finally do fucking something and surprise the league with a trade. We have better assets than almost anyone in the westbrook market

blazers are not making the 'offs

Realistically it's OKC we are talking about. I doubt they can get much out of Westbrook as he won't fit every team.

I wondered what could stop Lebron/Davis P&R with Kuzma, Green, Cook and other shooters around them...

they don't really need him they can already get enough solid role players

Year after year, the Blazers are supposed to be really bad and barely make the playoffs. Year after year, Dame and his rag tag group of outsiders proves everybody wrong. He’s led this team since entering the league and he just refuses to give up without a fight even despite the lack of a good supporting cast.

>literally Butler and literal who’s

As much as he wanted Kawhi, this is a better situation for LeBron. Winning rings with Kawhi would have only hurt his legacy. If he really is the GOAT he claims to be, then he should be able to grind out one championship with this lineup (assuming AD stays healthy.) That's all he needs at this point. Beyond that, he should just focus on breaking the scoring record, building his business and playing with his son one day.

Really excited for the Thunder to use all those picks. Sure, they lost PG, but if you hit those draft picks, you could get a James Harden or a Kevin Durant or even a useful role player like a Serge Ibaka

Jeanie's nephew.

Raptors have going for them the same thing the clippers do. Depth. If a couple all stars wanna team up somewhere the raptors would be a good team to do it.

Yes.

The Lakers really have a weird collection of pieces but luckily they have Jason Kidd to help figure out how to make it all work on the basketball court

If Iggy wants to go to a contender I hope he goes to the Nets to be honest, he'd probably see more minutes there wouldn't he and he's obviously tight with Durant

Forget Butler for a sec, I'd take Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Justice Winslow over any package of players currently on the Raptors. Raptors got carried by Kawhi in the playoffs. Siakam is a good but not great player but outside of that everyone else is old or just a role player.

Lakers have put together a good, not great, roster. It'll be interesting to see how they do. They have two years and no assets.

3 is greater than 2

No, the Raptors didn’t have the assets to actually make a trade. Read Woj’s article in it’s entirety. They were mostly using Toronto as leverage against the Clippers

Lakers have better shooting as well.

Because he was overpaid, can't block shots, inconsistent, and besides being a good 3 shooter usually, most games he's not good
Also looks lost on the court sometimes and has confidence issues. Good locker room guy though

they're going to have spacing problems this year. I don't trust Herro at all either

if I was them I would call up Cleveland and start talking about a deal for Love

Except they won't, because it's Canada. The whole media apparatus is against them.

Because he was ass for 7 years before he did that. He should be solid for MIA as a stretch 5 option to Adebayo.

>PG is a good shooter
>a no show in the playoffs 2 years running
Kek Quinn gonna cook that boy like rookie Mitchell did

Lakers actually have a bunch of decent roleplayers and versatility now. They can go big ball with McGee or Cousins at C and Davis at PF. They can run small ball with Davis, Kuzma, or even Lebron at center. They can run Lebron as the ball handler and surround him with shooters. They can run ultra big with Lebron at the point and Davis at PF. They can run Rondo as the ball handler for more traditional lineups. Only thing missing is that backup SF.

AHAHAHAAHAHAHA

I'm just waiting for the day Kawhi has to go back to the Crappies to get his ring before he assrapes them in the game

Remember that Rondo boogie and ad team

If the Lakies didn't give him that, he would have signed with the Clippers most likely. He had already stated he wanted to play with Kawhi.

Lakers fans are in full cope mode after getting ANNIHILATED last night and are grasping for straws

Cook and Daniels are both 40+% career 3pt shooters, plus Danny Green

Either Jamychal or Hollis-Jefferson would be solid there.

This season's going to be amazing, especially once the Lakers start collapsing after their hot 9-3 start.

Boogie won't be starting funny boy

Lakers squad looks good but I like LAC more
Kawhi + PG + depth is nice

RBL forever, don't worry leaf bros lakies will finna dab on them clips

enjoy the next 4 years being irrelevant again...prolly wont make the playoff

If kawhi had stayed in Toronto wouldn't the league still be "balanced" ?
Or is balance just today's buzzword.

I'll take LeBron over Kawhi in an elimination game any day

Don't sell Green short. He's also a career 40% shooter who shot 45.5% last season.

In other words lakers bailed out the clippers from shooting themselves in the foot by going ultra retard mode

mcgee, rondo, cousin, pope thats a nice 2nd unit

lakers are really going with rondo and caruso at PG?

>Zubac agrees to 4-year, $28M deal with Clippers
YES. FUCK THE GAYASS LAKERS FOR TRADING HIM.

>tears his labia and misses 20 games
>"best player in the league"

That's your opinion on Herro. But right now in reality his stroke from beyond the arc looks smooth and effortless and his ability to fire up those shots off the bounce and in transition is better than even I thought. And he is what's called a "willing defender" he's not a great defender but he plays with alot of effort to make up for it.

If the Heat make a trade he's the one player I wouldn't want to lose.

As far as spacing Herro opens it up, Butler can shoot, all of our starters outside of Bam can shoot are role players can shoot. Myers Leonard is someone to watch for he is a knock down shooter. So spacing isn't a issue right now.

They have rich-ass owners, plus league revenue is crazy high these days anyway, plus they'll also get a shit load of luxury tax distributed from luxury tax payers.

Guys who make shots last in the league, those who don't usually have to find some alternative to make them valuable or they're gone.

lmao youngblood you're the biggest cuck on this site

You forgot how good LeBron is.

Why would the Thunder do this? The Thunder got the Heat's picks. Making the Heat better ain't going to help the Thunder.

Too bad he won't play. Cook and Rondo are ahead of him and the Lakers will run 2 SG lineups over Caruso since Lebron handles the ball.

>Lakers have 3 40% 3pt shooters (and KCP, 35%)
They're going to have so much spacing. Defenders will have to choose between double teaming AD/Lebron/Boogie/Kuzma (leaving one of the shooters wide open) or getting abused inside by one of the bigbois

They'll make enough to stay there even if the fans don't go

lakers stil need one moar shooter from the bench...shooter win chips...boardman dont get paid in this new nba

So good that he lost to every bottom of the league team that wasnt the bulls

Reminder the suns were ACTIVELY tanking and still beat lefraud

Honestly Lakers and Clippers are pretty evenly match

this is what ((((((((((silver)))))))))) wants for the league

Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis couldn't miss and the Cavs weren't ready for their offense. Also Rafer Alston was balling out prior to getting benched for a jameer Nelson who missed like 2 months.

Teams are more reliant on superstars.

Teams are more reliant on jumpshots.

Teams are not running plays they're just running isolation to clear room for their superstar to take a jump shot

In a league where there are practically no offensively dominant big-men, and teams have really begun to shoot more 3s, we are going to see games where guys can get hot from 3 (cough JR smith cough) and really swing some games.

To put it another way, Shaq and Hakeem and the big men of previous eras never got "hot". So there was less up-and-down in their nightly performance versus what a long-distance shooter goes through

Forgot about that
SHit idk where he can go
Minnesota wanted Dlo so they might go for him if the Wiggins contract isn't locking up the cap

You'll see lol. It seems you have a personal bias against him

Keep seething. PG was and is always a bum
>b-but muh MVP candidate!!
A no show when it matters, gonna enjoy seeing him chuck bricks up in crunchtime

AD can shoot as well. He's nothing special but teams have to respect it. Lakers can easily run 5 out lineups.

why is ALT been counted out as contenders...

LMAO

Far from a laketurd but I don't get all the hate for the Boogie signing. Dude avgd 16 n 8 lasy year, 21 n 10 over the last month of the regular season. Is it really bc he played like ass in the finals, coming back from a shoulder injury wayyy too early obviously playing hurt? Are people really that short sighted.
He obviously wont ever be the same but he bounced back decently from a torn achilles, and his shoulder will heal.
He could average 18 n 10 if he gets time to recover.
Dont get how this is a bad signing, especially for the price.

lol whatever dude. lakers delusion makes me laugh my ass off.

remember when the rams only put up 3 in the owl..? LOL

i never said that

I'm not even going to watch your cherry picked video. You're dumb if you think LeBron isn't elite anymore. Quit showing your lack of basketball knowledge and stop letting personal biases get in the way.

Yeah 3 years ago maybe LMAO

>game is over
>have to pretend to care before you can go home
based legod

Does anyone else think the Nets are not going to be that good?

Lakers need to go after Morris and possibly korver right this second

no hate from me i thought it was a good pick up...2nd units win chips along with your superstars

people seem to forget that Kyrie can't lead a team and can't play defense, not to mention Durant won't be around at all next year
Nets won't make the playoffs

Dudley is underrated since he's a meme. He was a favorite of mine in PHX. A good bench player, even if he isn't young anymore.

The Lakers are kind of... old. But if you have a bench that you can entirely rotate, age might not be too big of a deal.

But what the fuck am I worried about the Lakers for? I'm a Suns fan

He carried us to the ECF, thats for damn sure

>facts are bias

cope harder, brainlet

did dlo play defense lol

>leafs think they care about the Rams

Morris is getting paid somewhere. He already stopped the Laker rumors. Lakers should go after Alfonzo McKinnie and Iggy.

not wrong...

LOL

They dont really have a choice, the market for Westbrook isn't high rn and probably wont go up on that shit team if they decide to keep him.

The Raptors weren't willing to trade Siakam of all people for him AND PG13, that shows you how much value he has. Plus his contract makes him difficult to move to a bad team that's also trying to rebuild, the bulls, suns may not even want him because of this.

Lastly the Heat's picks are going to be a shit regardless. The Heat are a lock for the playoffs the way everything has and continues to shake out.

im giving the Nets spot to ALT and yes I took my meds

he's too loose with the ball. lonzo and even caruso at times did a better job. most lakies' fans i heard from were assuming he was going to be offered the min in a take-it-leave-it situation. there is a significant positive to consider which is that he is very comfortable doing the pick and roll with davis

i think the nets will be great this year actually, with or without KD

I feel sorry for Westbrook.

its not high because he stand to make 42 million during the 2019-2020 season

I think it's a good signing (have not seen what the pay is though). Problem is he is a defensive liability, but otherwise, he *should* be better next season coming off of injury so you would think that the Lakers (even while having to sign late free agents) should be pretty good

People meme on Kyrie but he's still a star and upgrade over Dlo. DeAndre is underrated. They didn't lose anyone notable and made the playoffs last season.

so raptorbros who are we rooting for to win the chip? Obviously not any East team because fuck those niggas. Raptors won't win shit either. so is it the Jazz? Blazers? Nuggets? I'm thinking Nuggets because of Murray.

Okay friend. The fact is LeBron just came off 8 straight finals and still puts up 27/7/7 on a nightly basis. This last season he had his first actual hip injury and didn't have a reliable second third or fourth option. You'll soon be reminded that he's at least the second best player of all time

The Mavs must have given Morris a ridiculous contract for him to doge the Lakers.

Dont the Lakers need another SG? They have Green and...who else? Is Lance even coming back?

youngblood is a rams trip, son.

More or less, see them making 2nd round but that might be it
Its finally time to rebuild, maybe take a shot at Giannis in '21 when his contract expires and hes upset that Siakam keeps bumping him out of the 1st round

Kobe is coming out of retirement.

Green, KCP, Daniels, Cook. They need another SF over a SG.

post them on your fridge mate

green, daniels, and cook are all over 40% from 3, and KCP is solid 3-and-d

Yeah that's my point. The Heat make sense in every aspect, they have good role players and young assets to facilitate more draft picks and cap space if needed. And they want to WIN and win now.

where do you rate your rapetor

With no Whiteside? A old ass PG and a star that couldn't beat a loner khawi with the help of Tobias harris jj reddick The process and RoY Ben simmons. Heat are set for the lottery next year dummyboi .

This fuck just betrayed his own country

Siakam, VV, Gasol, Ibaka, OG, Powell, that kid we picked up in the draft who got snubbed because of that NCAA fiasco

everyone on Yea Forums maybe. outside of here everyone worships him and his clothes

The Raptors finally got a lottery pick players LUL

But really he sucks idk how he got more than the minimum?

rondo gonna get his ass kick trying to shoot the ball...cook, and the others are not strong shooters they are mostly dam in glad it when it shooter...close my eyes and pray it when in shooters

MATT THOMAS

he had an absolutely great rookie season and then he played like dogshit last year. i dunno. sophomore slump is real, i hope he can come back, he was a fun player to watch in 17-18 (coming from a knicks fan)

Dewan Hernandez, hes legit but never played last year and like usual, other teams suck ass at scouting

Has my boy T Ross signed anywhere yet? Now would be the perfect time for him to come home.

My Rapties are still better than any team in the East

One of the dumber sports for sure

i mean theyre interested but i dont think they sealed the deal yet
get it done masai

are you having a fucking stroke user? those guys are objectively good shooters

Daniels is a career 0.400 3 point shooter.

Kuzma has already peaked we know the player he's going to be,he's old. A very nice but in inconsistent offensive player.

making a practice open 3 and making a 3rd quarter open 3 are two different 3's...beating a team by 15 and then making a 3 is not the same 3 when the games on the line...most of those guys are not clutch shooters

Lowry

>vet min player
you mean hernandez

Reminder that Masai is gonna bring over Giannis to the Raptors when his contract ends

He has a lot of skills, can shoot, and is very mobile for his height which is a premium for the PF spot. He plays off ball or on ball so he can be your 3rd or 4th option and still be effective. None of what he does is very polished however so his FG%s are low, but the idea is if he makes marginal improvements to all his skills as expected from a player new to the league he'll be very effective. Rather than being a player that has major weaknesses to his game like "can't shoot" or "can't dibble" he's a player that can already do everything and just needs to do them all a little better.

Bro chill we got Matt Thomas, 47% 3pt shooter.

As a Raptors I want to, but I have no right, he did bring us our first ring. Put I will pretend to be a Lakers fan and join you

SGA will be a star and its bittersweet seeing him go. The way he moves to the basket is like magic sometimes. Clean shot, his three pointer will appear next season. That guy has the makings of a legitimate franchise player.

Why doesn't an NBA team just sign me as a 3rd stringer? I mean they don't play anyway so why not sign me instead of some other guy.

I think Warriors are being heavily underrated right now.
I mean, there is the Lakers and Clippers, but let's not forget that there's DLo, Curry, and Klay (when he comes back).
Those 3 vs LBJ/AD or PG/Kawhi is still a decent fight.

You should trade all the picks for stars and continue with Brodie or a star you trade Brodie for. Stockpilling picks doesn't work because they will all be on different timelines. When the last Clipper pick conveys in like 5 years SGA will be in his prime and won't want to play with a rookie and ask for a trade.

is the white boi going to play?

JUST

Except Curry consistently reverts from an elite player to a good player in the playoffs once defenses start collapsing on him and now he has no Durant to bail him out.

>raps could have kept kawhi if the clips didnt get PG
lmao, raps were so close to glory

Klay wont be back until around the playoffs and then he has to get back into the groove. And no one knows how DLo is going to fit, especially with Klay back

Hopefully

zion has literal trex arms. the meta is lanklets not bruisers. very sad the pelicans could have had the POINT GOD

Curry is the most overrated player this side of Westbrook, and he won't be able to play with D-Lo.

They literally dont have any depth. Drayboon cant shoot, Looney is going to be out substantial time due to reaggravating the injury

How the fuck is that team making the playoffs

Nah, Klay is back around january/february.
Honestly, if the DLo thing doesn't work out, he's always up for trade. Lots of teams needs a guard.

Joel embiid average nearly 10 points more then Jimmy with 13 rebounds and 3 assist. 27points 13 rebs 4 ast 48% FG 30%Three point. Butler ruined the 76sers chip run this year.
