The Show Must Go On: 2013-14 Los Angeles Lakers thread

[IGSaint12]

The nets were just wasting people's time.

Lakers will be stupid dumb if they have to pay the tax with a last place team in the West.

 

[Hater]

I can't even get mad over this shyt anymore. Front office is complete plz sell the team to Dr Soon

 

[PTBG]

Nets essentially ended pursuit of J. Hill for 2 reasons: LA wanted a decent 2nd-rd pick. Contract bonuses could have added $1mil in taxes

Mitch the Gawd




Couldn't even get a second round pick Gasol, Hill, Kaman or Blake.

 

[PTBG]

The Lakers' efforts to dump Hill and Chris Kaman to get under tax stalled when they couldn't secure a second-round pick for either one.

KBergCBS: So with Steve Blake trade, Lakers likely standing pat with an $8M tax bill, down from $11.9M before deadline.

Front office can't even salary dump trade properly either.

Jim and Mitch killing it brehs

Ramona Shelburne: Still a chance Lakers do something before noon. Stay tuned

 

[PTBG]

Keep in mind, Hill and Kaman both on expiring contracts and couldn't command 2nd-round picks. All you need to know about this deadline.

Did any of yall catch Max Kellerman shytting on Henry Abbott 2 days ago?? Dude said we should trade everything we have for Kevin Love. Max asked him when was the last time a franchise player(#1) failed to take his team to the playoffs in 5 straight years and dude couldn't answer. he tried to talk out of it by saying that if he was given more time, he could come up with an answer. Max told dude he'd put him on live if could come up with it, dude never called

Couldn't even get a second round pick Gasol, Hill, Kaman or Blake.

Other teams aren't stupid. They know with the new cap , all picks are valuable.

 

[CantStop]

lmao @ how dumb this front office is. I swear to god we have the woat FO. So all we did was trade Blake and save 4 mill?

KBergCBS: For those wondering, there is no deal pending for Pau Gasol at deadline, league source says. Lakers set to keep him, and his Bird rights.

There is no reason whatsoever Jordan Hill shouldn't be traded to someone for something.

So they keeping him cause his bird rights

 

[PTBG]

Kevin Ding: Been saying Lakers' motivation to get out of luxury tax this season overrated. They don't expect even to be able to pay tax next 2 seasons.

Steve Blake trade saves money and Lakers have definitely tried harder to move Hill, Kaman and Gasol also, but nothing else done so far.
