Looks like Ellington is going to the Pistons.
I wish we looked at him too.

too bad - I'm really losing faith in Maginka, big-time. They s**t the bed the last two weeks

If we don't get a FA this coming offseason too team up with Lebum ... We're going to have to trade him, because things will get messy if we can't get that star FA

I would trade him and let Lonzo run the point for LA

[Lakers In 5]

Earlier today, I think it was on ESPN, I heard that the league had threatened the Pelicans with a fine of $100K a game if they chose to rest Davis. I mean, middle finger for the Pelicans, but that is some of the biggest nonsense I’ve heard in a while, when you consider the amount of games the likes of Kawhi Leonard sat in the past two years while healthy.

Yup. Davis does seem to miss a lot of games because of injury and after Cousins they may want to ensure the get something in return. If Davis suffered a significant injury they risk losing a lot.

The ZubaClippers are mounting a comeback from 28 down right now. Bizarre to see Zu on another team.

I've been watching this game. Zu is having a good game and he even hurt Irving's knee..... so he's still a Laker inside.

It would have warmed my heart a bit more if they hadn't lost to the team we're fighting for playoff seeding.

I can't let go of the fact that Paul George decided to spurn LeBron and the Lakers, we'd be title contenders at the level he's playing right now. He's been an absolute superstar.

Or that the LAkers disrespected him by not offering their best deal for him. It is especially clear they disrespected and devalued him with the AD talks, despite him being more successful so far. LeBron also spurned him too after he had agreed to be dealt to the Cavs but Bron wouldn't guarantee he would stay to play with him, essentially saying he wasn't enough

[Landsberger]

If PG is "disrespected" then he's right where he should be IMHO. You get the best deal you can. He was the one who said he would sign here if he wasn't traded here if memory serves.

Biggest part that should burn people up in it all is that they can give their exemption to Rondo for multiple years and make Julius eat that QO since Luke knew how to hide him on D. I think Javale still gets the vet min and Rondo the mid level.

Ball George LeBron Kuz McGee
Rondo Hart Ingram Randle Zubac

That was possible, but they were in such a pissing match with his agent they couldn't see the forest from the trees and kiss PG's ass too. I mean Magic was outside Bron's place but they should have had Pelinka outside George's after essentially telling him wait a year, lose your bird rights, take less, and come to us because we are the LAkers. They were very bad saving face with him. Then the Randle situation added to it.

Marking Morris rumored.

[stan francisco]

Do it, Pelagic! We need an enforcer type, a physical player who can hang in the playoffs. I’ve always liked the physical three/four, like Millsap, Tucker, Randle. Morris is a bit of a hot head but this group needs some of that right about now.

I know he was alright a few years back, looked like he could go places. Does anyone know his current state!

this doesn't make sense because by not offering anything and waiting we kept our assets and without them the team would be worse.

This JC-DLo duel has been crazy
