I'm relaxed. Drinking a corona right now actually with the ac on in my room in Vegas. But I mean you can't say it's not a little discouraging when the front office can't get meetings when their whole plan revolves around getting meetings and selling elite players on an unattractive situation. We've had some pretty solid 1 year deals in recent years, why not this year?
Why would a free agent meet with us if they don't want a 1 year deal
A 1 year deal is very risky for a player. You may be out of the NBA if you get hurt or if you have a bad year or if you don't fit and you ride the pine all year

So you're saying it's pretty dumb to even offer one year deals then?
With Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka determined to have as much cap space available as possible so they can chase stars in the summer of 2018, all they can offer this summer is one-year deals to players like George Hill and Dion Waiters. While the Lakers would love to add a player of that caliber, most of the top players available are looking for the security of a multi-year deal.
Still, Los Angeles is trying, ultimately losing Hill to a three-year, $57 million deal with the Sacramento Kings and Waiters to a four-year, $52 million deal with the incumbent Miami Heat. Reportedly, the Lakers pushed all their chips in on Waiters, offering him just about everything they could, according to Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders:
The Miami Heat and free agent guard Dion Waiters have agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal, a league source told Basketball Insiders. The deal does not contain any options, Basketball Insiders has learned.
Waiters also received interest from the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls.
The Lakers made a one-year, $17 million dollar offer to Waiters, a league source told Basketball Insiders. New York and Chicago verbally expressed interest, but neither team made an offer.
Thought you were talking about Robert Horry for a second
I know we have no pick this year so losing won't benefit us in an shape or form.
But sometimes doing nothing can be better than doing something stupid right? (***cough Mozgov / deng ***)
I just want a drama fee season of Lakers basketball. I want to see progression from them all throughout this season and im looking forward to see if Julius can make himself into something special since its a contract here. Theres still a lot to evaluate for our future even if we don't sign anyone else.

If Dion waiters triggered some complaints from this thread, getting tyreke or even monta Ellis would cause a riot
