I lost all of my care for the NBA after the trade. Depression watch after depression watch.
Haven’t watched a game since the lakers got eliminated. Even before that it was completely lifeless.
My thunder hate is deeper than Shai. I’ll never respect the team stolen from my home.
@Lakerschipp Do you deadass think Rob is stashing 2nds to use them in a draft? Hes going to use them in addition with another 2nd and maybe a pick swap to dump someone like Vando to get a Wing and then a back up center comes in on vet min.
The Lakers are now pursuing both a wing defender and a backup big man after lining up a Deandre Ayton-to- Washington trade which adds $2 million in financial wiggle room for their summer business, league sources say.

@LakerCj Ayton was never buying the back up big role. His ego is the size of the moon. He couldn’t even buy into the starting role. No hands and he’s soft as fuck.
@LakerCj Only 2mil but it makes dumping Vando much more intriguing with 3 2nd rps and a pick swap. They will get a starting wing and then a back up big on a vet min. The team is going to round out.
First time in pelinka’s tenure that he’s been agressive and ppl are crying.
@LakerFan1234000 He’s not buying into a back up role and is a horrible culture fit for this new team. + we added assets and a bit more cap space to put towards a wing. 10x more important. Rob Pelinka is finally being aggressive. This team will be fine.
@starbab94149021 His shoulder problem was a torn labrum that he had been playing through since college.
The jazz were tanking so he took the opportunity to repair it and strengthen it.
It’s extremely unlikely to cause problems now that it’s fixed and rehabbed.
@thexavierjoseph You have to clear cap space and pick up assets before you plug the wing hole. The 3 2nd rounders and the pick swaps are incentives for teams to take on one of our dogshit contracts (Vando pls).
@LakerrsLane He was never fully buying a bench role and he’s not a culture fit on this team. Hardy getting flipped and the picks are going towards a wing most likely.
@Yinoma2001 Grab some picks to put together a kuminga package. 3 2nd rounders and a pick swap available. Those are decent incentives for a team to take on Vando’s dog shit contract.
