I really doubt Bron or PG goes there. Why would they? They would be a top team but the goal is to win chip and that would be very difficult. You have to rely on one of them committing to even get the other. Neither are going there by themselves. May even need to assure that a 3rd star signs on.
This is why I was against D'Angelo trade..what is the point in getting rid of young talent to clear cap space for no one.

they will get someone, it just wont be those two. lol.

the best scenario I see for the Lakers now is to get DMC as an FA. They could get LMA but doubt they have anything S.A. wants. Maybe sign and trade for IT (he could follow Bron). Maybe add Jabari and Avery Bradley. Playing in L.A. and NY is just not as attractive as it once was. There are too many other lucrative opportunities especially with the tv deals now.

Its just going to be tough and likely will end up overpaying somebody.

man, I was listening to this guy on the radio and they were talking about how weak the East was. this idiot host said the GM's out West were just doing a better job. thats bullshyt. the East GM's are fukkin shyt up by refusing to trade intro-conference. they would rathers receive scraps in return than to trade their player to an in-conference team. Cleveland literally had PG and Melo both and Gilbert fukked that up if you ask me. Boston shouldve had no less than PG or Butler. Pritchard refused to allow PG to stay in the East.

I think they will overreach for a RFA and end up with someone like Parker like you said.....

:what:

no, it means that the GM's in the East are incompetent. Hell, who wouldnt take PG or Butler if you giving them away? :snoop:

so you dont think Cleveland wouldve taken PG for Kyrie? :sas2:

Love was offered up but Indy on NY didnt want their guys to stay East. OKC and Cleveland were on Melo's list, so why didnt the Cleveland deal get done?
