The reason LA is trying to get PG13 this year is so next year they can sign him with Bird rights. That way we can sign him and exceed the cap. Everyone in here is talking shyt on Magic and Rob P but don't know the rules of the game.

But there have been reports that PG's camp wants to play with Russell; doesn't want the Lakers to trade assets to get him, and is determined to play for the Lakers after his current deal is up.

Lakers right now are about to do everything their guy doesn't want them to do :dead:

fukk the CBA huh. No salary cap rules apply huh.

What are you taking about ?...Cousins will be a FA in 2018,his contract come off the books.....LA can sign Lebron and George with the cap space,then sign their own FA(Cousins)....You obviously don't understand the NBA salary cap rules.

Now if LA signs Cousins first,then they could only sign one max player....so again,if LA has 65 million in cap space,they can use that money on Lebron and George,then sign Cousins.

Magic and Rob fukked up big time breh. They just preemptively traded D'Lo under the assumption that the 27, 28 and Clarkson would be enough for PG and the Pacers told them to eat a dikk. The Pacers now leverage because we HAVE to trade for PG or we've essentially given away D'Lo for nothing. Not getting PG would be a huge stain on their resume and Lakers fans would be livid –especially after hearing that Jerry West literally begged to come here and we told him to piss off. This is why they offered the 2nd pick in that awful trade to the Kings. I'm starting to doubt Magic and Rob know the rules of the game tbh

stop posting, you're trash. You're taking bits of information to fit your narrative I'm not one of these WOAT posters who doesn't pay attention.

Paul George doesn't want to play with D'Tective. ONE twitter rumor says they have the same agent and he wants them to play together. STOP

What assets did LA trade away? Cap space? they got a pick. and unloaded D'Tective who so far looks like he'll be a decent player. I didn't know holding onto the worst contract in the league was an asset. STOP

You been dapping ignorant posts claiming LA fukked up when no one is looking ahead to summer '18. STOP

LA probably won't get Lebron. But CP3, Rondo, Wade, Blake Griffin, Isaiah Thomas and Zach Lavine are FA in '18. Lopez, Tarik Black, Nick Young, Corey Brewer contracts all expire. Russy can opt out in '18 and Klay Thompson is free in '19.

Let's look at it this way:

PG13 bird rights, massive cap space,

vs

PG13 and D'Tective and Mozgov


Please explain to me again how LA is fukking up :jbhmm:

Yall dumb this was a great trade. fukk d'buffering, :camby: combo guard that's bad at two positions.

We got a #1 coming up in the draft a extra draft pick to ship or use in a trade.

PG13 doing everything to get here and maybe? lebron if we get all the pieces together.
oh now yall want lebron? :laff:

Lakers don't HAVE to trade for PG13 but it would be worth it. Again PG said he wants to come to LA. The pressure is on Indiana to make the trade. If they don't make the trade he walks and they get nothing.

LA lost a decent player in D'Tective and a black hole of a contract in Mozgov and got a pick.

With D'Tective LA won 26. He won't be missed.

This is a win for LA.
