    Kaminga is done between us and Cleveland.

    Atlanta doesn’t want him. They’ve shifted to Peyton Watson.

    and the Cavs are waiting on LeBron.

    this was fiting my Lebron narrative. He knows what he’s doing he’s just holding up the Lakers.

    We can’t get anything done on Kaminga until the Cavs know what’s up with Lebron.

    Kaminga can’t sign his deal with the Lakers that he has in place or seek the sign and trade until Lebron decides what he’s going to do.

    Because if Lebron goes to Miami or Golden State then Kaminga can go back to Cleveland and they need him and he plays the LeBron role.

    actually that’s better then Lebron. Younger active on the wing doesn’t need the ball in his hands as a dribbler more of a finisher as that’s Donovan Mitchell and James Hardens role. Job. He can play defense next to Mobley and Allen. That’s a more effective front line to me. Then LeBron at his advanced age. And at that point in his career.

    Harden Mitchell Kaminga Mobley Allen is balanced. But the ESPN narrative is better for LeBron but if we’re looking at basketball that other team is better.

    you can’t win in the NBA with 3 traffic cones on the perimeter. Doesn’t work.

    I’ll let you marinate on this.

    Brunson Hart Bridges

    Maxey Edgecomb Brown

    Cunningham Thompson Collins


    That’s what LeBron is looking at.

    so Kaminga has alot on the table.

    if LeBron just said Cleveland we could get on with our business and sign Kaminga.

    I’m sorry this is kind of pathetic at this point, just tell people where you’re playing, you’re 41 year old LeBron, not prime Jordan




    Also, for what it’s worth, Irwin said he’s heard/thinks the Kuminga hold-up is likely what we want to give the Hawks in the deal. Said the Lakers and Kuminga have probably agreed on a salary number they are both comfortable with, but Atlanta might want multiple picks and a swap and we might not want to give that much. I imagine LeBron is also holding this up, and I believe he said that as well.

    Zach Kram must be smocking Crack.

    Rookie summer league rankings no mention of Cam Carr at all. Lakers undefeated in Summer league. He’s played every game except one.

    the dude gave Toronto’s rookie a mention. And Phillys philbon. Have you seen this guy??? What have I been watching.

    Cam Carr 23 points the other night. 28 points 19 points. 14 points. Could’ve got more because we blew them out. What an idiot.

    he’s going to make all summer league team and in the running for summer league MVP.

    let’s see.

    1. Debynasta

    2. Wilson

    3. Peterson

    4. Boozer

    5. Brown

    6. Carr


    This guy had Lindenborg over Carr really????? This guys talking out the side of his a** and gets paid to. I actually watch the games.

    Lindenborg had 3 points his last game. Got stuffed at the rim. He’s looked great but not as good as Carr. Who looks like a top 10 pick.

    I’m hearing this from Isiah Thomas Jim Jackson John Wall Teresa Witherspoon,

    every broadcaster has been raving about him,

    he had Wagler listed ahead of him on the list at 10. Now Wagler had that 18 point quarter against Peterson and the Jazz. I see Curry traits. Beautiful shot. Nice handle.

    Carr got his a** and went right at him. The Lakers destroyed the Clippers. Carr has been way better than Wagler in summer league.

    And Acuff don’t get me started on Mr. Ineffeciancy.

    The Lakers hate is real.

    Yeah, I will admit that I really didn’t pay too much attention to Kuminga’s tenure in GS

    But it does feel to me like a lot of Laker fans iffy on Kuminga are probably in the same boat where they don’t actually have much insight into Kuminga… and everyone is just parroting each other about his mental/attitude issues.

    I think WISH was the best we had....but I will take ALBERT right now over Bibigo. That's just me.

    Also....NONE of these options have been good. Honestly, I feel like the Lakers should do Staples a SOLID and have that be their patch, but I don't get a vote.

    I keep trying to say, I feel like more often than not people HAVE changed when they've gotten a new system that works with and helps them, and as well as just new environment in general.

    I was told that theory was incorrect by some, but I still stand by it.

    Again, it is REALLY hard to tell, if this team is as good or better as last year.....I agree with that consensus. But, I CAN NOT tell you the last time I was THIS EXCITED to watch a team and see what happens. Like, this isn't 2012 Lakers where it ALMOST felt like we were going to win it that year (I know we all agreed that Nash was OLD then, but still). This feels like a NEW TEAM with NEW EVERYTHING, in a sense, and we get to see if they are exciting and win by skills or luck or a combination of both. This feels almost like one of those Cinderella March Madness Teams that you're like....I want them to succeed, just because it would be so fun...but like.......5th-6th seed isn't the end of the world and seems ALL the likely.

    So, if I am wrong, then cool.....hopefully we TANK so we don't give the pick to Utah, before we give ALL THE PICKS to Utah.............

    But we'll see. JJ and Luka run the joint now. Hopefully it goes well.

    Also, I guess if all else fails....JJ and Pelinka go, and maybe Scotty Brooks becomes Interim and things go better? Who knows.

    Remember this when he is trying to buy into the Vegas team expansion. Do you want him to be THE OWNER of that?

    So, the NBA has decided to give Lebron his own team and there will be supplemental draft where every team is required to give LeBron's new team their best player. After that, Silver will retire and name Lebron the new NBA commissioner.

    Pot meet kettle, Silver. That investigation of the lying cheating Clippers, Leonard and his dirtbag uncle should have been wrapped up by now and penalties handed out before the draft. That you let them have those picks THIS year and agree on a trade of that Snake to Toronto already should be the railroad spike in your long overdue coffin. :swear: :swear: :swear:

    Hypothetical Headline:

    Silver is fired after all trades and draft picks in 2026 were voided after Kawaii's sentencing was postponed for an extra year due to negligence from the NBA's front office. The league just decided to shut all operations down for one year, voiding the 26-27 season in order to make their Kawaii decision manageable.

    Does Canada not have extradition? Is that why he is going back?

    Or is Toronto better about hiding the money trail than the Clippers?
