Lakers OFF-SEASON IS A WRAP

[lovehateself]

Celebrate!

Our boy Luke Walton just claimed another



My favorite warrior

 

[Lizakers]

Teams tried small ball against us with prime Shaq, it doesn't work when you have an all time great center. If okafor can be that, we should take him. If he's more an 18-8 guy, take Russell

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

The fact that Luke Walton has another ring.

CONGRATS NK

A+

Oracle seems so close to Staples, honestly...

... and yet so far away. :\

[/double entendre]

 

[Lizakers]

Bill Russell rockin the blue shirt lol

 

[kal-el-8]

All is right. Cleveland losing makes me so happy

Asterisk that asterisk hole for basketball reasons.


Lakers will be back within 2-3 years to the promised land.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Those of us in the Bay Area are not enjoying tonight. Rather see the Clippers win.

Nah, maybe not the Clippers. Kings instead.

 

[sea manup]

if they did this last year steve blake would have a ring 

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Draft night plz

 

[vindeezy]

Alright. On to the off season. Officially. June 25th and July 1st. I expect mitch to make the correct and necessary moves. Can't build rome in one off season, just make the right steps in the right direction.

Tonight. Was gratifying. For #basketballreasons, obviously.

Porzingis Looks like he can be a better KG

flame suit on....

You mean Kevin Garnett?

You have got to be joking.

 

[cruzair13]

what was the dwight howard trade for golden state?

d12 for klay and lee, but we wanted barnes too?

shoulda pulled the trigger for splashbro.

NTer @suniversal bringing a chuckle

 

[pmatic]

I would have done Biendrins, Rush, Klay and a first round pick or two.

 

[(*Fin)]

Ya'll catch Alvin Gentry giving props to Pringles and his system? I know the majority of ya'll hated him but I still kind of wish he had an opportunity with a healthy squad while he was here. Oh well, onto D'Angelo Russell

 

[pmatic]

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Mda system? Sure. Mda? Nah

 

[ValarMorghulis]

^^^ All of that.

I blame you pmatic for posting all that info in the draft thread on Krispy.

Loving his game more and more.

This many people can't be wrong.... right?! :\

 

[essential1]

The Lakers also traveled to Vegas to see Porzingis work out and they interviewed him afterward. They were impressed, but I'm told it's doubtful they'd select him over Okafor or Russell.

Thank God

 

[MVP]

Okafor it is, ROY next season calling it now.

Jimmy Butler will be a restricted free agent this offseason and a report from Adrian Wojnarowski indicated he has interest in signing a short-term offer sheet with a rival team to become a free agent again in 2017.

If the Chicago Bulls tender Butler the normal qualifying offer, then an offer sheet must be for more than one season excluding options. Butler would be able to sign the three-year deal that includes a player option for the third season to become an unrestricted free agent in 2017 as reported.

But the Bulls can tender both the qualifying offer as well as the maximum qualifying offer, which means any offer sheet Butler signs with a rival team must be for more than two seasons excluding options. Butler could not become a free agent until 2018 at the earliest under that scenario.

The maximum qualifying offer covers five seasons at a full max.

If Butler does want to become an unrestricted free agent before 2018 and the Bulls give him the maximum qualifying offer, he would have to take the regular qualifying offer and risk the long-term security and then become an unrestricted free agent in 2016.

No Jimmy. Unless he risks it all.

The Clarkson and Russell backcourt needs to happen.
