Why is O Smith sitting in this presser with D Howard? He should be working phones now. He even said so!

After trading for Ramon Sessions, the Lakers are still expressing interest in Michael Beasley. Three-team deal is still a possibility.

BREAKING NEWS: #Cavs trade Ramon Sessions, Christian Eyenga to Lakers for Luke Walton and Lakers' #1 pick (top 14 protected) in 2012 draft.

Bad trade for Cavs...take on a bad contract and loose a quality PG for a late first? No thank you.

I'm sure this is why Cho told the Lakers no. Here's the thing: if we want a first-round draft pick, we can buy one for cheaper than Walton's contract.

Wow. The Lakers absolutely raped the Cavs in that deal. Trading away an above average PG for an awful contract and what will now be a late first round pick is just stupid.

In other "what were they thinking" news, Luke Walton now receives a $594K trade bonus check from the Cavs.

Ouch!

Luke Walton is a happy mother **** right now. Gets free money and he'll probably get some PT in Cleveland. What more could you ask for?

Free money and more PT for Luke to go with the 2 championship rings he got.

Seriously. If I was Smith I would be doing my best to ship his arse out of town for the biggest return I could land.

Hopefully draft day will go better than this!

Above average? Ehhhh

NJ better hit the ground running, else they are really going to regret taking Gerald Wallace over someone like Lamb, Barnes, Robinson, Sullinger, or Gilchrist.

...and at the end of the day, the Lakers might end up with Sessions and Beasley, having only to give up Walton, Blake, and a really late first. Goddammit!

Things starting to be fun.

Whoever Blazers pick with that Nets pick will go down with bad knees. A center especially. Poor 2012 draft class. Drummond may now have a good reason to stay one more year, just in case (he would fit to Wizards as a McGee replacement for center with questionable head position thou).

Funny twitter comment :

Zach Lowe: Portland can now re-sign Batum and have b/w $15M and $20M in cap space this summer. Imagine if they sign D-Will?

Would be a steal for the Spurs. Jefferson is going to suck either way but Good Jax will show up for Pops.

I'm glad our GM isn't making dumb deals just to make a deal, at least. Would still like to see somebody traded for a decent pick though.

Going to suck if we lose DJA for nothing :cry:
