starting to think drafting bronny is more of a marketing ploy for the lakers to sell more merch. which is hard-rocking to begin with STARTING TO THINK?!

I mean it's ultimately a wrap for the league with the OKC moves and the Celtics retaining White on a team-friendlish deal. Paul George in Philly doesn't move the needle if he still misses 20 games and disappears in the playoffs. CP3 in San Antonio will at least be interesting. Even more interesting if SA somehow emerged in the Ingram situation. I'm not an Ingram guy but the long boi lob thing would be spooky. Lakers will probably at least be competitive with something like DeRozan, Seth Curry on a vet minimum and that rookie kid they got panning out for them early. Their fan base probably wants some bullshit splashy thing like Trae Young but that kinda shit hasn't worked out for them well beyond one bubble ring. Yeah it's for sure a wrap if every other team in the East loses their best players in the first round and the 5th best team in the West goes on a heater for three weeks before crashing to Earth like the Challenger shuttle.

Tingus leg could easily explode and Jrue and Al could turn into sour milk next season.
OKC isn't even a guarantee cause Carusos only averaged like fifty six games a season the past couple years and Chet might still be 110 pounds.

Yeah the Lakers have a real hard time selling merch also what kind of alzheimers patient is like “wow a father and son on the same team? How neat!”

Especially in this instance where the son is no where close to as good as the father. Historically (Griffey, Bonds, Fielder, Curry) when a son makes the league they are often as good or were better than their dads.

I really don't get why all of a sudden people talk about Caruso like he's a star. Dude is an elite defender but still going to be a bench player for OKC.

Caruso is a very underrated offensive guy. You'll never have to rely on him to carry the team but he can drop 15-20 on a good night

Better defender and playoff 3 point maker than J Diddy. Yeah but he's not starting over Dort. It was a good trade for OKC, just seems like people are overvaluing him right now that's all.

LMAO LeBron extended for another two years. Jim K is never getting rid of him. He’ll either be coach or GM of the Lakers after this.

I thought Lebron wanted to take a pay cut so they could pay Derozan?

Here's his kid's deal (I think this is the biggest contract for someone picked in the 50s unsurprisginly)
Bronny James has sighned his rookie contract with the Lakers, per sources: Four years and $7.9 million. Team option in fourth season.
