    THT, another one of those overrated players that Laker fan seems to like to build into some kind of superstar. They would have been better with THC.

    Bell Biv is a nice pickup for the Lakers. Looks like The Great Ainge didn't win this one.

    It could have happened at the Thunder facility. You can't bubble wrap these guys.

    The Lakers still lack in shooting.

    Sucks for OKC. We as Blazers fans know this kind of pain.

    There was still a salary cap. Those guys weren't signed to massive $ contracts. They chose PDX because Trader Bob talked them or their agent into it.

    Might mean they have moved on from the idea of trading for Kyrie.

    Probably gonna go after Buddy Hield/Turner now, which would probably be better for the Lakers, unfortunately.

    It's San Antonio all over again. They get Robinson. He loses a year to injury so SA sucks enough to get Duncan. Sometimes it actually pays to lose.......

    People are laughing at them now but I'm not. Another top 5 pick next year. Giddey, SGA, Dort, Chet, room to work with and a buttload of picks. They get lucky and get the #1 pick next year and Oh My.

    I’m not saying I agree. But I feel that’s what’s going to happen

    I'd love to see them with a lineup of Poku/Chet/Wemba at 3-4-5. Would be the longest and lightest frontcourt in history.

    Not sure I could put Chet and the Admiral in the same conversation though...Robinson was built like Karl Malone.
