I can see why they stayed away from cousins. If he can only play half a season it creates a lot of uncertainty
When he does return it would take a some time to get him in the mix and they’re already going to have difficult time as it is. That’s without even mentioning his injury
As far as Seth, I was hoping he’d end up somewhere other than Portland but again playoff experience was probably the deciding factor

The lakers have to respond and go all-in now.
Kuzma, Ball, BI, and a first for kawhi

LA >>>>> Philly. He can play with non shooters out here.

Lol Seth signed 2 year deal. Non starter. Plays zero defense.
Cousins clearly had gsw on his radar all along. I don’t believe that nobody else offered him anything

Actually it makes it imperative that we don't have to do anything for him. The toxicity in the locker room will force the Spurs to take less than BI + picks and filler package.

Yeah, for peanuts. If you really need his $3M off the books it could be easily traded.
I get the moves they made, especially with a win-now team.
What if we swapped Cousins for Ed Davis? He only got $4M.

How do people enjoy this, even if you're a Warriors fan? There is no competitive balance at all. NBA is trash. It good again for about 3 years, but this **** is like a video game now. No thanks.

Amazing watching and comparing “analysts” on ESPN/fs1 (mostly bloggers and football players) vs those on NBATV(former nba players and GMs).
Espn/fs1 guys screaming about how stupid these teams are for signing players XYZ and predicting team x will be _ seed etc. basically acting like psychics who know exactly how season will unfold.
Meanwhile nbatv guys are poised, analyzing the moves and being constructive and using 3rd order thinking about the signings.

Honestly wouldn’t even characterize this season as win now for lakers
Cuz they ain’t going to
More like get to the playoffs for experience and maintain cap flexibility. I think next year and the year after are definitely “win now” for them
They could have went after ed but McGee is already there and honestly neither of them are special it’s a wash

On the DMC front so all the reports about the Pels and Lakers early on in free agency calling him (if you believe he never got any offers) were Boogie calling those teams and them hanging up or not even answering.

Don't think Hart/Mo get it done....IMO, it would have to be 2/4 of Hart/Ingram/Kuz/Lonzo
But stranger things have happened, and it would be Ernie grunfeld the Lakers would be dealing with. So it could be Deng/Zubic and a protected 2nd round pick
I mean realistically I'd include Zo but I don't know why the Wizards would want him.

As a city, sure. As a basketball situation? Hell no
Its pretty clear he was talking about cities. People give bron **** for not going to philly because of the way the lakers are currently constructed, but ignore the fact that the fit in philly would be just as bad shooting wise

This gets said way too easily
Other than weather.. taxes, cost of living and them divorce laws would scare the hell out me from living in LA
And that's before you get into other stuff like water restrictions, fires and earthquakes

Why would the Wiz trade Bradley Beal for anything less than a potential headliner young guy or lottery picks?

Anger shouldn't be over players exercising their freedom. It should be players exercising their lack of competitiveness and drive to beat the best.

I'm serious tho.
Just imagine Bron, Melo, Dwert, McGee, Lantz and Rondo. Sensational
Hmmmmmmmmmmm WIzards could've maybe got a gently used Julius Randle for their Beal.

In reality Magic ain't taking on any non Lebron/young core assets beyond next season. Just resign Brook and call it a day.

Son said Beal for Hart, Wagner and a pick. These NBA Live 2006 trades are wild.
