I kind of agree with y'all the timing was off. This should have been done before the season if not sooner.

Yeah. I don't mind the move but they didn't need 6 months of articles trashing Jim & Mitch. Should've done it last summer. Or as soon as Magic was hired.

I'm not going to get into it with you about it because it's pointless. We both have made up our minds. But everything about how this was handled was just wrong IMO. Jeanie always talks about the Lakers being so classy, etc, but this was as unclassy as you could be. 

If anyone's a believer of Karma that top 3 pick isn't guaranteed 

Now I'm just waiting for Dlo to get traded so the whining can finally stop. 

What I don't know is who the next scape goat is going to be. That's what I'm waiting for.

Well at the end of the day it's still family, Magic presented the perfect proxy to shield her as I suggested weeks ago. They seriously had to know this was coming at some point after those deals they gave to Moz and Deng. 

I think this was handled absolutely great, very Game of Thronesesque. There has been almost universal praise for this move, everyone and their mama knows this needed to be done.

Lou is going to the Rockets

 

[sohi 23]

Lou will traded to rockets.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Corey brewer and a first round pick for Lou

 

[pmatic]

Shout outs to Lou Will!

 

[thasoleful1]

Brewer and 1st rounder for Lou

 

[lovehateself]

Corey brewer and a first round pick for Lou

does any other team owe Houston a first, cause theirs isnt as good as a 1st from lets say Charlotte

brewer gonna get bought out? 

 

[EddieDoyers]

Lou is going to flourish at Houston

 

[MVP]

24K MAGIC,

Getcha tank on

 

[tonelow]

Brewer is still signed for next year right? I was hoping for just a 1st and an expiring. 

 

[thasoleful1]

Lou fits perfectly into that Rockets system

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Happy for Lou. That offense will make him flourish even more

 

[tonelow]

Funny that Magic's first move is with MDA.

 

[sohi 23]

Traded for Corey brewer and a first. Corey brewer is ******* trashhhhh lol. Hope he gets 0 pt.

His contracts runs thru next year. He'll get 7.5 mil next year.

So pretty much matching salary/contract swap and we pick up a first rounder. Protections will be interesting but I'd imagine it's just lottery protected for this year so it'll end up as a 2017 20-26 pick

@TeamLou23 Thanx for the love L.A, I've enjoyed my stay.

Best of luck to Lou.

 

[JCMojica24]

Lou will be missed, he about to get a 3rd gf in h-tyne

 

[tupac003]

Lou kept the games entertaining. Flourish out there Lou!!

 

[Lizakers]

Gotta be bought out

 

[essential1]

Not sure I like Corey Brewer coming back... Actually I'm sure I don't like his contract coming back
