[johnnyvegas13]

Same reason Lebron allowed to go to LA

[ikid2groove415]

Same reason Lebron allowed to go to LA

Also boogie is a free agent - it’s not a trade like CP3 too the Lakers

[JIBBBY]

Stern isn't the boss anymore.. I remember when Stern blocked the Chris Paul trade to the Lakers.. League today now let's you stack..

www.nytimes.com/2011/12/09/sports/basketball/paul-set-to-join-lakers-as-part-of-3-team-deal.html

Open season... Makes all the other teams mediocre at best now...

[jjgold]

Most likely he’ll never be the same off that injury so it might not have any impact

[thetrinity]

I thought you followed NBA close enough to understand why this trade never went thru.....

New Orleans was owned by the NBA (all other team's owners) and they were trying to sell the team.
Trading away CP3 for nothing made the team less valuable. They vetoed a 1-sided trade.
It had nothing to do with competition and 100% to do with money.

[pilebuck13]

Kobe needs to come back damnit

[firekillex]

Lakers working on getting Capela still from Houston.. Capela could offset Cousins if he comes LA..

I even might take Capela over Cousins.. Playoff proven and work horse is Capela.. Capela can run the floor too.. Cousins is a head case and now seems to be injury prone..

just lol jibby ... just lol

[JIBBBY]

^^ lol my ass. Capela young and healthy.. Hard worker...


Cousins in a nut shell -





Then the Achilles tendon tear last year.. Never know how a big guy comes back from that?https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2018/1/...s-is-the-worst

[Venom72]

Im reading that nobody, even his own team was offering him anything yet...so when warriors reached out he he just said fuk it, get paid(peanuts) and get a ring(probley)..makes more sense i suppose cause teams were probley hesisitant to offer him alot of money coming off a big injury but im sure if he had waited more teams woulda thrown out offers

[lakerboy]

It's not like they weren't winning it before they signed him. Boston only real threat if fully healthy

Yup now reading into it teams including the Lakers were gun shy picking up Cousins after the injury...

Here are the most notable recent players who suffered torn Achilles tendons in the past 5 years, and how they recovered from it.

Rudy Gay

When the injury happened: A January 2017 game at age 30
Before the injury: Gay was averaged 34 minutes while scoring 19 points on career-high efficiency figures with the Kings.
After the injury: Gay’s efficiency remained about the same as his previous season, but his minutes were greatly reduced in San Antonio. His relatively quick recovery process, along with players like Wesley Matthews, would seem to show that Achilles rehab has quickened slightly from the 2000s.
Wes Matthews

When the injury happened: A March 2015 game at age 28
Before the injury: Matthews averaged more than 15 points on 57.5 True Shooting Percentage in Portland.
After the injury: Matthews incredibly started for the Mavericks season opener in 2015, but he has never been the same player. His 2017-18 campaign is the best since the injury, but Matthews never recovered his full mobility and his two-point shooting remained well below his career numbers.
Brandon Jennings

When the injury happened: A January 2015 game at age 26
Before the injury: Jennings had played for Detroit and Milwaukee as a backup point guard and may have been headed out of the league anyway.
After the injury: Jennings had two stints with teams equalling 81 games. Neither was particularly effective.
Kobe Bryant

When the injury happened: A March 2013 game at age 34
Before the injury: Bryant was past his prime, but he was still a dominant force, averaging 27.3 points on 46 percent shooting that season.
After the injury: Bryant played six, 35, and 66 games in the next three seasons before retiring. He averaged 19 points on just 37 percent shooting from the field.

Jibbs the deal made sense for boogie and the warriors - not so much for other playoff contending teams- since he’s going miss more then 1/2 the season

[tony_come]

NBA is amazing

[tony_come]

Will the lakers make the playoffs

[johnnyvegas13]

NBA is amazing

If ur in cali

rest of the country screeed

[ikid2groove415]

Will the lakers make the playoffs

With this current roster who knows ? Lebron might regret this signing - West is not easy -

[JIBBBY]

If ur in cali

rest of the country screeed

That's true... NBA of California the league is with the Warriors and Lakers now... Well the Houston Rockets with Harden and Paul still in the mix for now...

Talk about the Lakers being the talk of the town now, on the other hand the Clippers back to the basement and forgotten about..

Clipps lost DeAndre Jordan..http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2...llas-mavericks.. Lost Paul and Blake Griffin last year.. Clippers are done in LA!!!! Order restored.. Lakers town now..

[Venom72]

Will the lakers make the playoffs

Yes, how far they make it is another story but theyll make it..i mean vegas has them as the 2nd favorite to win the title! Not that i believe that(unless they get another big name) but that just shows how big a game changer lebron is, a playoff spot is a guarantee i dgaf what division hes in

Warriors is auctually paying a total of 20 million because of TAX- it’s not just 5 plus million for boogie

[BigDofBA]

As it is, the Lakers are probably around a 6 or 7 seed.

Anyone that bets the Lakers to win it all is crazy.

The Cavs team Lebron just left was better than this Lakers squad imo.

The West is loaded.
