What was that? I don't understand. Who were the two sources communicating? Who was trolling who?

Some douche with a Twitter account with some sources. One source was a troll feeding him made up rumors and he fell for it. Some of his tweets get picked up by other reporters and BSPN. Mentions about RealGM and Emplay being an ahole. :lol:

The whole system is (Please Use More Appropriate Word). I remember a few years ago some Boston fan post a made up rumor about Rondo getting traded on RGM and it gets on BSPN.

Can you imagine before texting and email when sources had to be someone you actually spoke with? Probably really cut down on a lot of these BS rumors.

Back in the 90s when the Lakers were really sucking, my neighbor's dad and his work buddies found Jerry West's fax number somehow...so they faxed him some note about how he needed to hurry up and fix the team-- and Jerry ended up calling them back and cussing them out, telling them how hard it is to make trades in the NBA!

That's the worst trade idea I've ever seen. Totally made up.

What words did he use specifically?

Lin/Nash/Clarkson
Bryant/Henry
Johnson/Young
Randle/Boozer/Kelly
Hill/Davis/Sacre

do the Lakers still have any money to spend?

btw, for anyone wishing for Terrence Williams, he last played in the Philippines and got cut. no defense, no athleticism, streak shooting but kept on chucking. would rather go after another C and PG.

2 roster spots left.

I'm really liking how our 2nd unit is looking like.

tugs · Post #2451 » by **tugs** » Sun Jul 20, 2014 1:30 pm

with the remaining FAs I wouldn't mind looking at Sessions and Douglas though TD may be the more realistic option and despite the injuries I think I can gamble with Okafor, Udoh and Oden but for vet leadership and mentoring I'd go with JO. Baynes is intriguing but I doubt he's ready and Spurs may match.

Lol who's going to sign Evan Turner?

This whole Eric Bledsoe to LA rumor is totally BS. Jon Bloom's "source" was just an idea pitched by Mark Willard on Espn LA radio... The trade doesn't even work within the rules of the CBA. Randle just signed, so he can't be traded for another 20 plus days. Hill has a no-trade clause, until January of 2015. Plus why would the Lakers pay a point guard the max when they already acquired Lin from Houston...

Michael Lucky · Post #2457 » by **Michael Lucky** » Sun Jul 20, 2014 7:21 pm

yeah just what the lakers are going to do. Trading another couple first round picks to the Suns for a PG of theirs with injury concerns.

It's not the Suns used picks wisely....pretty sure they'll screw up that 2015 next summer also. What are you doing here anyway ?

Man we better not trade Randle.
