The Lakers front office is idiotic

[konex]

We desperately need a SF and Ariza could be had for $8 mil per? Instead of doing that or something similar (Isaih Thomas 4yrs for $27 mil), they pay Jordan Hill 9mil per to take a short contract.

Have they learned nothing from this summer? Superstar FAs will take the same money elsewhere to play with an actual roster. Freeing up cap-room gets you SHIT!!!!

Marvin Williams.
Or trade for Ilyasova.

The only explanation I could give is they have their eyes set on Durant in 2016. No need for Ariza then since they both play the same position..

Yeah cos Durant will turn down 30+mil plus to play in LA? Melo didn't, why would KD?

This is what I was saying yesterday, you are right on point.

[Mr.Kite]

Why. We are throwing money at lance

[J Shuttlesworth]

Or Maybe Ariza is only willing to play for 8 million if the team is actually a playoff team?

It's called player development. Lakers should try it some time instead of banking on superstar free agents and crooked trades.

Don't think we even have a pick except late first round next draft, so can't even tank
Just going to be horribly bad. At least we get to witness Kobe try for the scoring record

It's what Kobe does best - putting up empty stats on bad teams.

Lakers are trying to give out 2 year deals to stay flexible when Kobe's contract is up. Any player who has leverage isn't going to take a 2 year deal when they can get a 4-5 year deal.

Except that one guy in Cleveland.
