    That's really bad. Not just for the league but for the average fan. The team like Portland who's actually going for it.... is the exception. But imagine being in Phoenix with that joke of a franchise. That's the wave of the future with super teams.

    He was a selfish player and caused Ervings's early retirement. In Houston, Pippen couldn't stand him. Olajuwon put up with him only because of Hakeem's religion. If we'd had Barkley, we wouldn't have gotten Pippen. In fact, Barkley is WHY Pippen left Houston.

    Many players see their reputations refurbished years after they retired.

    Pretty sure Lonzo is gone after this season. Who needs that kind of headache?

    So tired of hearing about Kuzma, people still talking about him as a ROY candidate. His PER has dropped below 15, his BPM is -1.5, and since Christmas he's basically been awful. For a player who was tabbed "the steal of the draft" because of his shooting, he's shot like crap for the past 2 months.

    Kuzmania needs to die.

    LeBron going to request this to happen before he signs with then. He doesn’t want LaVar trying to out GM/coach him.

    Honestly i don't even think it will take that but i certainly wouldn't doubt it if i was told that was the case.
    That poor kid's entire career might be in the balance because his father won't shut the hell up. What team wants that and is willing to bring him on if the Lakers can't deal with it?

    Agree though I kinda joked about it. Where does Lonzo end up? It would be funny and sad if he ends up in Europe playing with his bros.

    I won't be shocked if they use Ball to offload Deng's contract. Someone might take a chance on that.

    Nah. Portland isn't a big enough market for the Ball Daddy.

    How does that help them with cap space?

    Them who--the Lakers? Well, it's an instant $5M savings on contract value alone, and Layman is non-guaranteed, which saves them another 1.2M. And Aminu's contract is up a year sooner than Deng's, so that saves them 2019 money as well.
