These brehs so happy to win
Pau is a game changer. Teams weren't offering shyt for him and LA was right to hold out for a fair deal. What deals did you hear about other than Phoenix offering a single first rounder?Because they were offering a ton of cap relief. If I remember correctly, the Lakers were really only trying hard to deal him forinjured players like Bynum and Okafor that could have saved them like $20 million because they weren't playing and insurance would have covered their deals. Pau's financial cost to Phoenix or Cleveland would have been enormous and he could have walked away at the end of the year. They had no reason to load the Lakers up with picks. They would have been doing the Lakers a favor by taking Pau and they knew it.
If the Lakers were willing to trade him for guys that actually would have stayed on the payroll at tax time and/or players that more time left on their deals, some playoff team would have thrown in some draft picks for him.
One draft pick is better than letting him walk for nothing... Should have traded him to Houston in 2012 when they offered Dragic, picks and Scola.
"He'd been used wrong for over three years.The last 2-3 years gave you no indication of that. What he gets paid now reflects what teams thought he could contribute. It's hard to give up assets with the rationale being "well maybe all of the sand is out of his vagina by now
Over my head
That's precious.
By far.
It was fine for the Lakers to hold out for more but it's no surprise they didn't get what they were looking for. Not many teams had $15-$20 mil in expirings and it seemed like the Lakers were more interested in getting dead wood that they could waive or get insurance coverage for so they could get out of the tax. They had a very limited number of teams to deal with. If they wanted draft picks, they could have had that. if they wanted cap relief they could have had that. They went for both and teams either couldn't provide that or just didnt want to.
It wasn't meant for you, that's half of the reason why it went over your head, dummy.Over my head
Sorry dummy, you cant use that stat to defend Kyrie then ignore it to shyt on the two guys right below him.
Obviously you've never USED it to shyt on them because that that would be impossible. I clearly said you ignored it, along with every other measurable statistic that confirms Chris Paul and James Harden as two of the best players in the league, whist carrying on your silly tirades against them the past several years. This is what happens when you form your opinions first and then cherry pick stats, charts, quotes and various other tidbits after the fact to bolster them.
