Kendall Marshall

Team Leader Blake :cry

He needs a statue in front of Staples tbh

[ElNono]

Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks

who? I'm guessing there's some sort of pick involved too?

[The Batman]

Don't understand this trade. Blake was going to be a FA and Lakers took on multi year contracts

[ElNono]

unless it's part of another deal?

Golden State expected to send Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks to the Lakers for Blake, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

[Mugen]

Traded the only mamba with two good legs left tbh.

[benefactor]

Has to be something else...pointless move, tbh.

[MeloHype]

Didn't Brooks get traded like a month ago? lmao

[Thread]

Seems like a lifetime ago now, but, at the time I was horny for Blake. Thought he was gonna be the livin' end.

[The Batman]

Possibly a trade exception

[Killakobe81]

Gotta be a plan here, me thinks ...
If not ... smh

Surprised Jerry West didnt throw in Steph + Klay to try and make salaries match tbh

[Venti Quattro]

Blake Mamba will make Steph Curry even more dangerous. I like Blake despite his glaring deficiencies. It's a fair move to trade him to a playoff-bound team I guess.

[spurraider21]

Brooks has a team option for about 2 million next season. I doubt the Lakers exercise that. Still, I don't get the point of this trade since Bazemore is expiring too

Noticed this when I was looking at Sham just now. Straight cash dump and nothing more.

[LkrFan]

If/when Lakers dump Jordan Hill, they'll be only $2M over luxury tax. Blake and Hill moves alone would shave tax bill from $11.9M to $3M. Or so I was told. ;)

Reducing that tax bill for #BASKETBALL REAS:lolNS

Watching Kobe, Young, and Brooks should be fun to watch

Great pickup for warriors.

Something they have been missing since Jack left

MK is outstanding with numbers/cap rules. Fredo just signs the checks. Only thing that stops this trade from going thru would be failed physicals.

[Clipper Nation]

MK is outstanding with numbers.

The number $48 million says otherwise :lol

Pau better not give LA a discount for how they have treated him. He better sign for 10M+ with Lakers.

Talked about this upstairs.

Bazemore for Blake (GS uses TE)
Lakers get TE for Blake and use it for Brooks.

FIFY. No food stamps from the Lakers (aka revenue sharing) if the Lakers don't pay lux taxes. I'm sure the small market owners will be thrilled. :downspin:

It's all Cuban's doing. That fuck.

No, not weird. MVPau is still a quality center. They are trimming the fat, tanking for a good draft pick, and should still have some cash to sign a decent FA in the offseason.

[TDMVPDPOY]

isnt kendall marshall on a 1 year contract?

should bolt if some team comes knockin on the door with better offer

Him and the Cavs' owner tbh. SMH

2-years son. I believe he showed enough to make Steve bLaker expendable.

Yep. They got their heads together then went door-to-door handing out pitchforks and torches.

I could just cry.

[ElNono]

Well, that took you a while. Not a month ago you were calling him everything but a white man... what happened? :downspin:

[LkrFan]

#Fredooooooo :lol
MK masterminded the Gasol and the CP3 trades. Small penis owners made Stern reject the latter trade. So beore you clown too much on Fredo, remember even the Logo relied on MK's capology expertise for years. The Lakers, under MK's watch - crunching the numbers, were able to have enough cap space to sign the biggest FA in NBA history, trade our starting center to the BRHornets for some skinny 17-year old high schooler, trade fan favorite Eddie Jones/Seldom Campbell for an all star name Glen Rice, and a bunch of other deals. Some worked, some didn't, but MK is clearly competent in what he does.

Now if players will stop breaking down after we get them (i.e. Mailman, Nash to name two) we'd be in there. :lol

:lol - I never said he wasn't quality. He's just soft. If he were not soft, he wouldn't be on the trading block seemingly every year. It is what it is s:downspin:n.

[AchillesHeel]

Lakers are basically trying to shed salary while also making the team worse, but they need some fresh legs so the team would have enough guys on the floor to play the game. Blake Mamba was a huge reason why they were a Playoff caliber team in the first 20 games or so, this move guarantees that they will lose 80-90% of their remaining games.

I think Kobe is blowing smoke here, saying the right thing. Blake has been a bitter disappointment especially when it counted early on in the contract.

& I know it didn't matter then, but, he let Jackson bully him in broad daylight. That was hard to watch and yet one can't get it out of one's mind.
