L.A. Lakers

cousins could have been a laker but we refused to include brandon. smart move? what do you guys think?

damn, what a steal from the pelicans they straight up robbed the kings. ad and cousins what a frontcourt. just wow

Great move by our Lakers, I think they are now making sense, if Ingram was not included I would make the deal happen. Why was the trade not vetoed? It's a crystal clear that the trade certainly was one-sided, I remember our last trade was vetoed because someone does not want to see CP3 playing with Kobe and the Lakers before smdh

I think it was no brainier by the lakers not to include BI. Ingram haven't fully displayed what he can achieve and the lakers are hoping he could be the building block of the future .. Also Cousin would be a RFA and there is no telling if he would resign with the team... they have learn there lesson from DH12... But what shocked me was the offer pelicans made , I think Lakers If only Ingram was not included , the Lakers can make a better offer than the pelicans ...

yep exactly my thoughts. we can still make a run for him when he becomes free agent next year

I would not give up Ingram as well.

As for the Kings, it was almost a certainty that they will get robbed since Cousins is a "headcase" and will become an UFA after next season. They have zero leverage.

yea. but in exchange for what? hield, galloway and some bottom 10 picks. nah it was a straight up robbery, imo. who knows? if it works, then cousin would probably resign w them.

Not necessarily bottom 10 though. Looking at the Pelican's record right now, the pick is probably landing somewhere in the lottery to top 20.

As iv'e said, the Kings have zero leverage so what the Pelicans offered was probably the best offer they got. And it will only continue to get worse if they waited any longer.

I dont want BOogie on the Lakers. He is a top ten talent and no doubt a superstar but he needs the right environment and culture to make it work. Unfortunately we cant provide that for him right now or the near future.

I dont know why the Kings did not take the offer from the Pistons Andre Drummond for Boogie, its a fair trade both win-win trade scenarios.

Haven't heard of that offer. hehehehe. That would definitely be better although im a skeptic when it comes to Drummond's game.

From what iv'e read, The Suns and the Cavs made an offer and the Kings said no.

Paul George for what? It depends on the offer.

I say try to trade for him next year. His value will be lower next year considering the fact that he is an UFA after next year.

IMO, Brandon Ingram should be untouchable. The kid is young,supremely talented and plays hard. Just needs time to develop into his frame and put on some muscle.

Brandon Ingram plays hard unlike D'ANGELO RUSSELL who looks like he doesnt give a shit! Same goes with JRandle.

Moving on from Boggie kay na human na hehe... there are reports that the lakers a talking with Bulls for Butler....
I think the lakers should alteast make a better effort on this. He's a an all star and not an expiring contract unlike Cousins. Also report says that Bulls are willing to listen even if BI is not included.. Lakers should make every one available except for Ingram & Zu... They could offer Russel and/or Randle plus williams and/or Young and add some draft picks ...
