    Magic is fukking this up. In no time he gave up on the rebuild. He signs James and the next day the place is full of idiots.

    All this is one year contracts - Lakers was a awful defensive team last year? Adding lance and Rondo provides defense against athletic guards in the west - Learn some basketball simps

    Yes - Kuzma/Ingram and Lebron is way more then enough for offense - Randle was never a shooter - you need defensive players

    As it seems, Isiah Thomas won't even get 1-year contract worth around $15m from Lakers. He said 2 years back Boston needed brink truck full of cash to sign him. Folks here talk about NBA 24/7 even in the off season, not to mention NBA is WWE 2.0.

    This is what happen when you try too play though a injury and it gets worst? Then Boston trades him - I don’t wanna hear anyone talk about loyalty and all that BS- he cost himself over 100 million playing hurt- and people wanna bitch at Leonard for sitting out? Take notes suckas - OWNERS ain’t loyal so don’t blame the players making moves !!!

    I'll never forget how he started to carry the dysfunctional Bulls to big playoff wins. but got hurt before he could finish it off

    he certainly could turn it on just a few short years ago, but even 2 years is lifetime in your mid 30's for pro sports

    LEBUM was against it last season- maybe he’s change his mind now - He’s the real commissioner - ADAM silver is just a GOON

    People assume you need 3 pointers? GSW ranks in the middle of the NBA making 3s

    Rondo could be a liability come playoff time because he can't shoot the 3 and or 2... Rondo can't shoot but can do everything else.. They will come off Rondo and double Lebron... I hope the Lakers can figure that little problem out.. They'll have a year to do it..
