Ariza only played 37 mpg, Guarded KD & Klay Thompson all night & was a threat to knock down open threes consistently... & was a contributor on a championship squad, with big game experience... Yea what team trying to contend would seriously miss a guy like that

Obviously pissed off a high profile agent to the point where his client who was a "sure thing" to go to LA didn't even take a meeting with them.Man Boston traded IT after he led the team in scoring and he played for them when his sis died
Current Lakers FO hasn't done anything
But hey, keep spinning it however you'd like. Lakers will enjoy their 6 seed.

Just seeing him run the floor at their pace for 15 min coming off that injury will secure the bag for him
With who though.. He could’ve signed with those same team for her same one year deal and get more PT.
His career probably over and this point he’s hoping Durant leaves next year and the Warriors decide to keep him

Coming off this injury is he gonna be demanding to start andnget no less than 30min a game?
Its a one year deal.
Doubt it given how much he was paid.
PG van ring chase with the Warriors after this current contract. He'll only be 32.

alright Bro, GS isn't gonna play boogie more than 5 minutes a game because he can't guard James Harden on a Switch..... James Harden was getting switched onto by ****in Kevin Looney most of the series & put up Russell Westbrook efficiency numbers, trust me GS will live with it

Curry, Klay, Durant, Draymond, Cousins
Livingston, Swaggy, Iguodala, West, Bell
VS
Kyrie, Jaylen, Hayward, Tatum, Horford
Rozier, Smart, Semi, Morris, Baynes/Theis
You also said PG and Bron were a done deal to team up in LA

Not sure what exactly I'm "spinning"
Literally nothing concrete since he asked to be traded there in Indiana pointed towards him coming. People just bought into the narrative that was being pushed. You can't pick and choose what unconfirmed rumors to buy into, I can run with the "Bron told him a week ago he's doing LA and PG didn't want to be a part of that" one if I want, but I don't buy into everything that leaks. All this salt because the Lakers are somewhat relevant again.I didn't think we were getting **** this offseason personally so I'm fine with landing the best available free agent.

It’s not even about playing heavy minutes. It’s about not being able to play against Houston or Boston.
He’s never been unplayable at any point in his career. NBA all stars are prideful. Ask Melo

Everyone guards Klay, Durant, Etc
And if he consistently hit open 3’s that series the Rockets would be champs

Thing is the warriors didn’t lose a thing for Boogie. Best case scenario...he’s 70% the player he wa...which is still a very productiv, skilled big at $5 mil per year that adds to the team and lessens the burden.
Worse case scenario...DMC washed...but you got a younger, more athletic guys that will replace him. As well as the Hampton lineup.
Light years smh

Why do people get road rage? I had some guy curse me out and flip me off because I was making a left turn in the turning Lane and I couldn't turn due to it being a busy street with oncoming traffic. Dude was beeping me to turn when if I turned it would of been an accident. Ended up making the turn and dude pulled up next to me and cursed me out then he ended up cutting me off then flipped me off when the light changed. All I could do was roll my window down and call him a ***** *** *****.
I hate people.

It's insane to think about on the outside... Cousins accepting 5 million to go to the Warriors.
But when you factor in all the elements.. he's coming off a serious injury, he won't be playing right away and might have a longer rehab, and the fact that New Orleans did not offer him anything? Really?
I get it, not a lot of money available, he's coming off an injury, but hell.. New Orleans didn't give him an offer is kind of crazy to me. It's insane... like it's objectively crazy, but it's not that crazy.
I love it.

Yeah, The Name is scarier than the actual tangible aspect of the boogie signing. He probably won't be closing games with GSW anyway come playoff time. He's too big, too slow, and will indeed get played off the floor by a Boston or Houston.
This would happen w/ a healthy boogie, factor in a boogie who's coming off of an achilles injury (which I think he'll be relatively fine from) and you have someone that's an upgrade over the bigs that they have, but boogie with the warriors isn't the same as Boogie on the Kings or Pelicans.
He's not getting as many post touches, he'll be far more of a Pick and pop guy who's a career 34% from 3. The Warriors are scary, but it ain't really because of Cousins.
But it's fun to see the league and it's fans in shambles over it

Went from Harrison Barnes to KD before that
And still have a starting caliber PG as the back up.
And one of the best perimeter defenders in the league also on the bench

boogie coming off a catastrophic injury. not even expecting much from him. still dont need him to bring much with all the talent the dubs have.
he is gonna show he is healthy, add a ring to his resume, and move on to a bigger contract. biggest one is showing he is fully healthy to parlay into a long term contract
