    Lmao Enes Kanter " Zion is Julius Randle with hops "
    Julius' response on Twitter " Relax. Last time you guarded me I gave you 45 "

    Get Kawhi and it's a wrap. With golden state being down and out next year, who can touch us really?

    Denver? Houston? Portland?

    in the east

    Bucks? 76ers?

    3 top 5 guys on one team. Man everyone gonna hate us. I'd love it.

    Still think Kawhi going to the clippers though:D

    There are rumors that the Lakers are trying to get back DLo. If the over the cap MLE is around $9M, that might be enough.

    You have your starting 5 then. The bench would be Caruso and the rookies plus vet mins.

    Wiz fans should enjoy the Thomas Bryant/Moe Wagner tandem

    You trotting out that old dinosaur lineup? Are you magic-ing our team here bro? We get Kawhi, we need that big 3 to rest, because they're gonna be carrying us all season. Only way other teams will have a chance against us is having a dinosaur supporting cast that can be bested by youth and athleticism despite the difference in talent and experience. Plus add more injuries to the elderly roster.

    I would like you to try again. This time I want you to go deeper into rube mode and give me a real and realistic roster.:p:D

    I truly believe that Carmelo has made EVERY team he's played on worse, and that includes Denver during his hey day. Why the Lakers would consider adding him is beyond me.

    Such butt hurt. Never ever liked this guy. His opinions are almost always wrong, misinformed, and plain stupid. Still carrying the narrative that a seasoned agent that represented big names didn’t know the CBA inside and out. One of the reasons he was hired was because of his cap knowledge. Magic said so when Pelinka was hired.

    No, we are going with all old guys.
    So LeBron can feel young.
    All those old guys are insurance for each other.
    Thats why its 15 deep.
    Most of those guys are going to have a hard time getting a veterans minimum contract on a decent team.

    Because he is friends with LeBron and that works.
    You play better with your boys.

    A lot of butthurt conjecture because LAL decided to close the doors on many of the media members they'd leak things through. Woj has actually been locked out since a little ways before LeBron landed. If you remember, when free agency grew closer last year, Woj came out and said " LeBron to the Lakers is a long shot. " Woj got clowned for that. LeBron has well informed buddies on Twitter that took the opportunity to shit on Woj's BS reporting. Also, LeBron threw a shot at Woj during the Super Bowl..people thought it was aimed towards his teammates and just wanting to get the trade done, but it was a shot at both Woj and the NFL

    Sources. Kawhi Leonard’s people plan on meeting with Lakers president Jeanie Buss and Magic Johnson next week when free agency starts. Will most likely be in LA

    Starting to get the feeling that Kyrie is the guy LAL we will be landing with the max.

    1) Multiple reports saying it's only Kawhi or Kyrie for LAL's max spot ( or Klay if GSW doesn't offer him the max - my dream)..but if they don't sign any of these guys then they will break up the $32M and spend it on high end role guys
    2) Haynes says he feels Durant is still leaning towards the Knicks..Haynes is pretty close to these guys and there's too much groundwork already laid for Durant not to land with NYK..his BFF Royal Ivey on the staff, familiar faces in the front office that he trusts, and another of his BFF's D.Jordan pulling him that way. They're also trying to land Cousins, gonna give him a year to pull himself together as well and then come back with maybe the biggest front line in the east - Jordan/Cousins/Durant
    3) The smoke from Brooklyn's camp saying they're not as hot about the scenario where Kyrie comes alone..a lot of smoke here
    4) Probably most important - one of Kyrie's mentors is none other than Jason Kidd, and then obviously, his relationship with Kobe

    I just do not think that Kyrie will get into a LAL FA meeting with Kidd, possibly Kobe, AD and LeBron, and walk away without committing. That's just me. They'll challenge him. And I keep seeing Kawhi out and about in Toronto, taking in the city, wearing Blue Jays' gear..and then he becomes the newest member of the Toronto based private jet company. I think Kawhi is staying and we get Kyrie. Brooklyn..who cares? They're insignificant, TBH. Same as the Clippers.

    The whole Magic quitting sure is looking like a fakeout so he could continue to recruit players behind the scenes while at the same time empowering Pelinka to be able to do his job and be respected.

    Magic Johnson says he will help the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency in any way he can, but he is not permitted by NBA rules to be part of official team meetings with prospective free agents. Johnson said he has not been asked by the Lakers or owner Jeanie Buss to participate.

    Ramona Shelburne‏Verified account@ramonashelburne 32m32 minutes ago
    Johnson says “A friend of mine called and says Kawhi wants to meet with you,” Johnson told ESPN. “I said no problem. I’m available if that’s what this man wants. “But I got a great life. I’m not trying to mess with anybody’s job.”

    Bleacher Report‏Verified account@BleacherReport 1h1 hour ago
    LeBron and Anthony Davis plan to be part of Lakers' free agency pitch to Kawhi, per @sam_amick

    Marc Stein‏Verified account@TheSteinLine 22m22 minutes ago
    What we know (we hope) just 48 hours before the start of NBA free agency: *Kemba to Boston *Klay stays *Kyrie to Brooklyn -- unless the Lakers miss on Kawhi and swoop in *Khris M stays -- unless Milwaukee's five-year offer is less than expected *Vucevic stays with Orlando
