2018 OFF-SEASON DISCUSSION THREAD

[Pugz]

Plenty would argue that Kobe never wanted to leave and was just trying to use a trade as leverage

precisely because chicago and detroit both would have been better than the lakers, minus la and the winters lol. detroit obviously would have given up a lot though so i understand him saying no to that

 

[dez]

When does Memphis figure out what their doing with Gasol?

Let him rot or actually move him?

 

[Paulius]

Nothing I hate more on this website than the loyalty conversation

Of all the stupid shit paulius says, this has been the worst

Shocking how someone who says stupid shit can be right about so many things

Leverage for what CC?

He was already under contract. Lakers were shitty since he flirted with leaving in 2004 and was getting tired of it

Every bron fan hates talking loyalty

Literally so lakers would start making moves to get some decent players around him

Think

He was born a laker

how is that leverage though

Lakers were taking their time because they had time

Kobe speaking up didn't make then trade for Pau

In hindsight Kobe should have shut up and let Mitch just work instead of having this little episode

Bynum for Kidd would have been stupid
And going to an empty bulls team with just Deng also stupid

 

[Mexi]

Also Paulie

LeBron isn't tired of winning titles it giving up whatever you said earlier

Think about it.

First year in Miami wasn't a title year. Or first year in Cleveland with Kyrie.

Got there, but those were feeling out years

This year too is about seeing which young guys will stick and who will leave next year when they have cap

They lose Reke though.. which will hurt
. Ay this point theyd be better of moving him imo.. but i guess you cant really once youve made the decision to keep him over your HC

Lakers werent doing shit for 2 years

Kobe got sick of averaging 40 points a month

Best player in the league demanding a trade is a wake up call to start doing some work

In the end, it worked out. He got pau

Kobe stays winning

yeah what Im saying is Kobe whining didn't make Mitch trade kwame for Pau lol

Mitch knew what he was doing. Maybe he should have given Kobe more updates
