I always wonder if I posted something like that before lol

[Brandon]

Read something on ESPN or what not that Ball was #3 or so in defensive metrics for PG's....I think win shares per defensive stats.

I'm leaning towards the Kawhi deal getting done, I just hope it's not a massive overpay for the pressure they put on themselves with this two summer thing and marquee names out there.

As a lebron apologist and anti-lakers person, I hope they trade everything away to contend with lebron these next 2-4 years

Very minor

Kind of hoping we pass on Kawhi right now.  Let someone else throw a big offer to San Antonio for a one year rental, or let San Antonio stew and get the price down.  Just proceed with the remainder of summer plans:  Sign Lebron, Sign PG, trade Deng, resign Randle, fill in roster with vets.

If we need to create space at a later date, I'd much rather trade away assets/current cap space for future draft choices.  Screw giving S.A. a great package.  He can play for them next year for all I care, just DON'T overpay!!

looks like we're trying to trade assets now for draft picks so we can then include them in a deal for Leonard 

[Stradling]

Man, I hope we can acquire all three without losing 2 of the 3 young guys.  I am in the minority, but I would prefer to keep Ingram over Kuzma.  I think we will have to give up Ingram, Hart, one of the guys we drafted this year, and possibly two draft picks.  

[Lou]

I prefer keeping Ingram over Kuzma 

[m0nkey]

I think everyone would rather keep Ingram. But he’d have to be the center piece, not kuzma 

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Screw the Spurs.  Not sure what I would prefer more, getting Kawhi with Lebron and PG or seeing the Spurs get a pitiful package from someone else and just sign him in FA next year?  The only thing they have is one year of Kawhi.  We're not really competing with other teams for his services beginning July 2019.  The question is "how much do we want to pay for one extra year"?

[nando714]

Lakers hold the leverage over the spurs 

teams will not offer a premium package for KL bc he not guaranteed to re sign 

[nando714]

Zubac option picked up 

thomas Bryant option declined 

LAbron lands in LA 

[nando714]

Lakers are -5000 to land LAbron

anyone wanna lend me 5k to make a $100?

[beatlesrule]

Lebrons plane landed in LA and the supposed barber of PG-13 says he's staying in OKC.

Keep an eye on Chris Paul . If he doesn’t opt in tonight it could get interesting 

[beatlesrule]

Paul George arrived in Oklahoma City late on Saturday afternoon, as Russell Westbrook is hosting a private party in town late Saturday night as free agency opens, sources told ESPN.

yep. I don't see the Spurs making a trade without Ingram included in the deal. 

[Lou]

Durant to sign a 2-year max deal to stay with Warriors

I just haven't posted in this thread in awhile.

I don't think Laker fans really want Lebron BUT I think we prefer winning more.
