    Lakers fans watching their team go from Shaq and Kobe to signing first rate crapola free agents. Anybody want to puff one to celebrate?

    Any interest in Vuc? Sounds like he doesn't play any defense though.

    Hendo is better than Afflalo. I assume he will make more.

    It's 4 years 72 for Biz. Makes more sense than Turner.

    in your opinion, IMO Biz turned 5 good playoff games into a massive overpay, frankly I am glad he's off the board and not coming here at that price

    Fits a much bigger need and it's the same price. Easy decision, and I don't even want Biyombo.

    Why does Orlando sign Biyombo when they have a top 5 Center in Vucevic? I'd gladly take Vucevic from them.

    Payton / Watson / Napier
    Fournier / Meeks
    Green / Hezonja
    Ibaka / Gordon
    Vucevic / Biyombo

    Kind of a head scratching lineup, maybe Biyombo is gonna slide to the 4 when they trade or lose Ibaka?

    The money is a little sick. I wouldn't mind if the tax rate on their bracket was like it was in England when George Harrison wrote "Taxman"

    It's a smart move. Try to mitigate Vucevics defensive issues by having a stalwart defender next to him every minute he plays (Ibaka and Biyombo). They're still not going to be great defensively, but they won't be awful either, and there's enough minutes for a three man rotation. Vucevics can cover Biyombo offensive deficiencies.

    I love when people complain about Neil making a "panic move" with Turner, and then start panicking when 2 guys get signed.
