Instead they get Pelinka’d…. Can someone explain to me why this man is employed and got an extension? He is building his plan to move LeBron this summer and start rebuilding this roster so he can say this is my team and how I run a roster. Jeannie Buss the worst owner in the league back at it again. Go get Kyrie Irving and go for a title guarantee lakers were clipping coupons hoping they would get Kyrie for nothing. If they wanted him for nothing they should have added him after the docuGATE earlier this year. Wonder if they can rebound from this but I highly doubt it. Maybe go after Fred Van Fleet but probably don’t have enough to add him

Listen. Lebron fked this deal up by acquiring Westbrook. We had several other deals with other stars, and he chose Westbrook. Nobody wants Westbrook, that sh** constrains our every move

Glad we didn’t get Kanye Irving. Excellent. Great trade for the Nets!

exactly

Lakers have every right to have Kyrie agree to a two year extension for us to trade for him.

trade Westbrook, Juan, jones, Beverly and a 2027 UNPROTECTED pick.. for derozan, vucevic, and Caruso

down to trade AD and flip vucevic for KD and claxton

See wiretap. Kyrie is a Maverick.

Looks like we were willing to part with both picks but Joe Tsai cockblocked us. He probably saved us from ourselves.

The Lakers may have decided to sign Irving this off-season, so that the team would not have to give up the compensation which would have been required in a trade with the Nets.

If the Lakers do decide this off-season to re-tool around an aged Lebron and a fragile AD, Rob should sign as many wing players who can defend on the perimeter and shoot 3-pointers and pass on the often-injured and self-absorbed Kyrie Irving (a talented and great player to watch, but not one to rely on to win a championship).

That's what I said above. No one wants Westbrook. Even after throwing in 2 1sts. Nets wanted dimwiddy back instead

This is a bizarre aftermath after a big trade. I've never seen so many of the trade scenarios and offers leaked to the media like this.

This can't be good for relationships between respective FO's and agents.

Here's how it went down.
Nets front office: yo KD, you want Dinwiddie? Chris Paul? Or Westbrook?

KD: Westbrook? FU. CP3? Nah, he be too much. Gimme Dinwiddie
