Bron couldn't wait. Many of us said the same shyt and folks were like "Bron 34 gotta get it asap, no guarantees"..I told nikkas this was a shortsighted move and ultimately Bron fukked up his own legacy. A team with zo, Ingram, Bron & AD would win multiple titles. Now we got to swing for the fences and hope we put the right mediocre players around Bron and AD.
Because he had that GOAT pressure on him, he needed to act fast. It worked for one season.

Lowry would cost more then Seth and an add on, and Philly was just an example of a team that may be willing to work on a sign and trade due to them being over the cap


They have the assets where they can get a third team involved in the deal, which the Lakers just don’t have. They still have outright control of their next 3 first round picks.

Kuzma and KCP's salaries are the only way they're gonna be able to swing a trade. They make $13 mil each. In a league where Otto Porter just finished a $25 million/year deal, those aren't that bad.

I don't feel good typing this since he's currently sabotaging the Bucks but Middleton could be an option if Milwaukee flames out against Brooklyn. I hate his salary ($35 million) and playoff performances but he'd probably be good as a third option and his value can't be that high.

EXCUSES

THEY WERE ALL ACTIVE FOR THEM PHOENIX LOSSES
KCP missed a game and had to leave another one early.

Trez had his mins snatched away, given back and snatched away during the series.

Dennis endurance seemed to wane the more games he played (which happens to guys right after getting Covid)

But carry on breh. As you said we should trade AD, Bron and fire Vogel :unimpressed:

I said 2 offseasons ago we should've signed SETH CURRY! He would've been perfect for this team. It's crazy Rob didn't go after him.

We're gonna need to sign and trade Dennis, and find a way to trade KCP and Kuzma for some dogs who can shoot and defend.

Seth was already signed before Kawhi turned the Lakers down. They couldn't go after him.

3 point % against the Suns

Bron 38%
AD 18%
Dennis 31%
Kuzma 17%
Caruso 29%
Wes 28%
KCP 22%
Gasol 64%!!!
Ben 33%

Basically needed more Gasol 3s. Everybody else shot below their season average :francis:

Meanwhile

Booker 43%
Payne 42%
JOhnson 41%
Bridges 38%
Crowder was trash at 30%, but somehow got on fire the last two games.

Got damn our ability to hit a 3 and inability to defend a 3 cost us.

I think the point is though that Kawhi dragged things out so long that they missed out on Curry.:francis:
