    ....all the horrible signings they are making. WTF are they doing? Rondo to play with LeBron? Lance Stephenson? $12 million for KCP? They seem to be dropping the ball. I don't think Lakers are a top 3 team in West like many people think they are. They will be interesting. They will get mega ratings. But so far these signings are peculiar.

    They are mostly one year deals. I don’t think it’s about this next season but the next offseason when they have room for another max player.

    I think Lebron will sit out much of the year. Just a hunch

    It doesnt matter. With Lebron they will be better than us. They still have Kuzma and Ingram. Will probably trade Ball and something for another vet player.

    Depends on what happens with Kawhi. If there is no trade and Leonard sits out the year, I could see it.

    Imagine the Lakers with LBJ, KL, and a top 3 pick from tanking. If that happens, Silvers should slap LBJ and KL both with 3-5 year suspensions for destroying the integrity of the league. (yes, I am serious!)

    I wonder who will have the bigger meltdown, Ball's dad or @HCP?

    That tweet yesterday that the Lakers were "drunk signing" or something like that was pretty funny.

    :cheers:

    There were 48 years between the invention of the can and the can opener.

    I agree. I throw trivial thoughts like this thread's OP into the wastebasket. Interesting thought, but not worth a thread.
