You guys, what are we gonna do when LeBron retires? He has been such an incredible source of unintentional comedy for so long. And the fact that he continues to be so, now at age 39 ... incredible.

For real though, what a tool.

The Lakers have really been unable to make any moves of note for some time now. Outside of signing some role players last year, and the AD trade, they’ve been underwhelming in the offseason in this Lebron era.

It seems like they’re continually unable to land marquee players.

Any idea what’s going on with the Cavs?

Thunder brass apparently in my hometown Eugene, meeting up with Isaiah Hartenstein. Had a couple buddies mention they thought they saw them somewhere in town. His dad Flo played for the Ducks. He grew up there before they moved out to Germany.

OT: Sco Ducks!

GO DUCKS!!

I'm stoked for him. He's gonna fit in great with the Thunder. Wonder what the Knicks do now to try and add depth to the Center spot. Options are pretty limited. Wonder if they try to go for someone like Nick Richard's or Robert Williams III.

Where will Goga Bitadze sign ? He's a useful player, yes ?

[AleksandarN]

Where will Goga Bitadze sign ? He's a useful player, yes ?

I could see the Nuggets signing him on cheap. They need a backup big

I did not forsee this, was just curious about his landing spot. Good signing by Orlando!

RealGM experts, capologists, please chime in with regards to probable max contracts and if any (other) team can "steal" these free agents if they want to; like overpay for certain players just to lure them away from their current teams. Which teams have the capspace to do so? Or if trade demand (via sign and trade?) which teams hold zero leverage if this happens? Also, which teams currently over the cap can easily go under that with some moves before the season

All data via spotrac (so not sure if these are the actual correct numbers or are changing at the turn of the season,etc)

This goes to show how much of a beta Anthony Davis really is. Nobody worth anything wants to be a part of this Lebron clown show. Not even Klay Thompson wanted any part of it, and that would have been such an easy signing. Not even Chris Paul. Nobody. It's a sideshow and a joke of a franchise right now. Everything is done to stroke a single players ego. It's one of the saddest situations I've ever seen. It used to be fun to hate on the Lakers because they were the Lakers. Now it's just sad.
