Isaiah Thomas is Now a Laker???

[MRivera42]

if the lakers somehow get lebro0n they will win the title

[funnyb25]

remember that time the lakers signed mozgof and deng to big deals

[lakerboy]

Clarkson is honestly a straight up chump. The ball goes to JC to die. He's like Carmelo lite. Larry Nance is a nice player and I am bummed to lose him, but this is a deal that you can't turn down if you are the Lakers. Getting Thomas and a first round pick is a steal for the Lakers.

The Lakers have done good work with late picks.

[redlily]

Clarkson points will be hard to replace.
Can lonzo play the SG. Gotta like the lakers moves maybe winning a title in the next 5 years. Im thinking they think their the next GS warriors. Walton is doing real good for himself.

Exactly. They can parlay picks into starters. Plus Magic loves all men named Isaiah Thomas.

[KRIT]

Yeah Clarkson is nothing more than quick offense off the bench. He's falls into the Jamal Crawford, Eric Gordon and Lou Williams category. He can score, but can't do much else.

Nance is a nice pick up because he is the new age PF. He can guard Draymond Green and defend the pick and roll.

Hood will help, he is a nice player. Can probably do a decent job guarding Durant.

They still have zero PG.

This move will help the Cavs in the regular season, but they aren't winning more than one game against the Warriors in the finals. The Cavs last season were better than this team is now.

Clarkson is a turnover machine with very low basketball IQ. Nance can jump out of the gym but another extremely low IQ. IT is a strange addition to the struggling Laker D but I think they’re expecting him to take off in free agency and really wanted the draft pick.

Magic and Pilinka making decent moves so far. Exciting times for Laker fans.

LOL! The Cavs trick rolled Magic

Nailed it. Athletic special needs players. Lakers on the right track.

LeBron is easily the most self centered NBA star........EVER.

Thomas was a mvp candidate last year !! Cleveland was just a bad spot

Not to mention coming off a hip surgery. Lakers still seem like they dont have an identity, guess itll just take time to get the pieces fitted right.

All about clearing cap space and hoarding 1st round picks. They can now sign 2 MAX contract guys and they get a 1st round guaranteed pick from Cavs.

Those guys you mentioned are perennial 6th men or huge contributors, Clarkson is not on that level.

I like this roster more than I did yesterday, but currently I don't see them getting out of the East, especially if they have to play on the road at Boston and/or Tor.

lucky year young lad, he is overrated and too small for nba

If thats the case then sounds cool.

How can you be lucky an entire year. Thomas is a scorer, he was always able to get buckets, just needs the right fit imo. Needs the ball of course to score.

Relax Lakers fans this was homerun for Lakers IT will be gone end of season and this opened up more cap space for next season Free agents and now Lakers got 1st round pick. LAKERS are going to be back on top very soon.

Would have been back and competitive sooner had that prick David Stern not blocked the CP3 to Lakers deal.

i like this team u got randle and kuzzy coming off the bench maybe trade pope for a center somebody like deandre jordan would be nice just need for rebounds and defense

[Da Phoenix]

They some how need to get rid of Deng now

[A4K]

They some how need to get rid of Deng now

That's the rumor. They clear Deng off the books and they can sign 3 max guys this summer....oh my!

[cincinnatikid513]

going to go down as one of the worst free agent signings ever lakers going to have to get a buyout no team wants deng and that contract

[cincinnatikid513]

That's the rumor. They clear Deng off the books and they can sign 3 max guys this summer....oh my!

they would have to give up kuzzy and a first round pick to get deng off the books

[ikid2groove415]

Warriors will smash that team

[A4K]

Warriors will smash that team

Agree but I think Lakers are looking 2 to 3 years down range.

[ikid2groove415]

If lebron care about rings he wouldn’t move out west !! It’s a blood bath!! East is a easy way to the finals every year !!

[ikid2groove415]

Let’s not forget lebron turns 34 next season !! He’s on his back 9

[Da Phoenix]

And that's one of the reasons Kupchek and buss Jr got fired...if you see the mess They made and now you see how magic is cleaning it up wow magic doing great job he just have to watch what he says too much NBA thinks he tampering.

Agree, be interesting to see what teams in the East can convince him to join.

[cincinnatikid513]

if lebron goes to the west they will have to change the playoff format take the top 16 teams, if minnesota was in the east they would be a 1 or 2 seed
