[:: LAKERS 2014 THREAD | POLL: Who Should Coach Next Year? ::]

[senorroboto2k5]

Stein says the Nets' challenge now is to ward of competition for Jordan.

Looks like a for sure thing he'll be elsewhere soon.

Wondering what the other offers are like... any 2nd rounders there?

 

[senorroboto2k5]

So CP, P, Essential, I kow you hate answering questions like this, but what in the WORLD does that trade mean? :\

We take a $17m hit?

Why... would... we do that?

Nah, Nets/Prokhorov would be taking the $17 hit.

 

[grandtheftbike]

goodbye garbage man |I

 

[noblekane]

watch this too blow up in lakers face

probably asking jersey for a first rounder

that russian mobster is not only deep but crazy. 17 mill hit for jordan hill? :x

I'm not at a computer so I can't give you exact numbers.

Tax hit goes to Nets. We're basically trading Jordan for nothing, and shedding his salary.

But they are a repeater tax team and are so far over tax that any salary they add gets multiplied by like 4.

They will pay about $200mil for salary and tax this year.

this

they have the highest team salary.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

^ Yep. Woj reports that the Nets payroll and tax would reach about $210 million with these 2 trades.

I guess Marcus Thornton and Jordan Hill are the missing pieces?

prok gives no dambs probably **** 17 million every morning.

 

[grandtheftbike]

he should change his jersey from from 27 to 17 if this happens

 

[pmatic]

The Lakers would only be about $3.8 million away from getting under the luxury tax if/when the Hill trade goes through.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 12s

Among teams who could still redirect Jordan Hill away from Brooklyn, watch for the Phoenix Suns, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Um nah what about Pau Gasol?

 

[darthska]

We're basically trading Jordan for nothing,

OK, so why would we do THAT, then?

shedding his salary.

Or would that be the reason?

 

[laker4lifeman]

Looks like The Predator is leaving.

 

[noblekane]

ok so the lakers have to move pau now right? since trading hill will be all for not because he alone doesnt get us under the tax threshold right?

As the great @NobleKane  has stated

NO ONE WANTS THAT BROKE *** LLAMA

Since they're only $3.8 million away like PMatic said, not necessarily. They could just trade Blake ($4 million) or some combination of others (Kaman is almost there at $3.2 mil)

he always reminded me of Partynextdoor

Six of one, half a dozen the other

 

[darthska]

That didn't further confuse me at all.

Also, have been told that a Nets deal for Jordan Hill "looks like a longshot" at the moment.

Told it is unlikely the Nets will keep after Jordan Hill. Probably couldn't re-sign him anyway -- he didn't much like NYC the first time

 

[kal-el-8]

Sean Deveney‏@SeanDeveney2m

OK, I stand corrected on @BrooklynNets. Hill might be lukewarm on NYC, but was just told that Prokhorov OK'd a deal for him. Up to @Lakers

 

[CP1708]

Potentially keep Pau... To keep his bird rights???? What the hell?

I read that exact line and have re-read it about 900 times tryin to figure out what the **** good that does us.

I'm quickly losing faith in Mitch by the moment.


GIVE them away Mitch, so help me if he "tries" to win games at the end of this year, I'm going to be done with him.

Cut them loose *******.
