(https://twitter.com/SpearsNBAYahoo)Celtics free agent forward Brandon Bass to sign with the Lakers, a source told Yahoo Sports



now this is a solid pickup, IMO...

[Mugen]

Nice pickup but they already drafted Brandon Bass in the lottery last year tbh.

[TXstbobcat]

Good signing for the Lakers.

[The Reckoning]

cute consolation prize

[benefactor]

Getting further and further from that top 3 pick.:lol

[Franklin]

Not a bad pickup imho, that nigga Bass can ball.

[jeebus]

The Lakers are turning into the Pacers

Nice pickup but

tee, hee.

[spurraider21]

he's a good player. want to see terms of the deal, since he'll be (presumably) backing up randle

Maybe it'll be for $25 million.

[spurraider21]

he's 30 years old... 4/25 wouldn't be the worst thing

[Raven]

wow, that has to be the biggest collection of cancers ever to be amassed

[Mugen]

tee, hee.

As long as Kirby is in the lottery tbh :lol

[RsxPiimp]

$2.85 per Pincus

[spurraider21]

$2.85 per Pincus
he said thats all they can offer unless they make other cap-clearing moves. he didnt say that was indeed the offer

[RsxPiimp]

You're right. If its at Young's expense, I'm all in either way.

Eric Pincus ‏@EricPincus 2m2 minutes ago
Lakers either have $2.8 million for Brandon Bass - room exception - or they are clearing cap via other moves

[Splits]

Good signing, if it's for the room exception that's a steal

Swaggy P is the one Laker with a set of balls to tell Kobrick and others to go fuck themselves,,,I like the kid. He was anti tank and winning games and Laker fan were foaming at the mouth to rip him apart,,,

RT though, Bass is a nice signing for what they should have left, and if he's a RE signing then it's a steal and he should shoot his agent.

Wut? You know you can carry 15 players and Brown is listed twice?

And they also already drafted Lou Williams in the lottery this year.

A) Yes, I am aware
B) Kelly, Sacre, and Swaggy are on the trading block
C) It's not my tweet

So "jettison" a few players was part of the tweet? There were only 13 players listed.

[midnightpulp]

Terrible move. Lakers are filling out there roster with too many decent players that won't be good enough to make the playoffs, but just good enough to win 30ish games, meaning pick is going to Philly.

Lakers have to lose more than 66 games to secure a Top 3. Not happening. I'd rather accumulate cheap assets now for trade pieces if the opportunity comes up. Hinkie can pick his 12-15 pick from tis draft.

Pretty much..

They will be better than Denver, Minnesota, New York, Philly, and probably Boston..maybe another team or 2, as well..

It's top 3 protected. No way we get lucky 3 years in a row.

We we gotta win some games to make FAs want to come here again. Who wants to come to a lotto team with a bunch of rookies? Especially if they rang chasing?

ELE bet me that we win "30ish" games if you gangsta.

Still only 14 players listed.

The sweetest part? If you give up your '16 pick, you get your '17. But your '18 is also shipped out :lol

Jettison, trade, same diff. The roster is not in stone. We still need a SF.

The point is you don't have to jettison/unload/trade/waive anyone if you want your undrafted pothead Upshaw to have a roster spot, Geraldo

Run Kobe up there and Clarkson to point. Then Williams to SG. You can't start Russell. You can't do it. They'll target him and beat him to death. 15 minutes a night vs second string. Where's the fire?

True. The protection is just too high to risk tanking a whole season. The percentage in winning #3 and #4 are too close (15.6% vs 10.4%). The Lakers are in a tough position and purposely tanking for a high pick only to end up in Philly would be stupid.

I think the TWolves are gonna be better than people think with Towns and Wiggins,,,

Agreed. B Scott said he'll have to earn his keep. If he starts, it means he is our best option at PG.

I'm interested in seeing our guard play. They all seem interchangeable. I do think Williams and Clarkson will add a speed element we haven't seen since NVE and (rookie) Kobe.

No cheap asset the Lakers have acquired can be really be used as a trade chip going forward.

Hibbert is on a one year contract, and plays a style of game that is behind the times. It's why the Pacers had no problem letting him go.

Brandon Bass is on the downside of his career. He was a net negative player this season.

I guess Lou Williams can be used as an asset, but I think he's in the Lakers "4 year plan." And even if he would be used a trade piece, you won't get much for an undersized SG who shoots 40%.

The Lakers should be stacking lotto picks, like the Thunder and Wiz did once-upon-a-time.

[HarlemHeat37]

Maybe, but regardless, they're going to be an 11th+ seed..

Yes it is. I hate LA but solid pick up there.

Lou is cheap. 6MOTY may not mean much but if JR Smith can get a team like Cleveland's attention, I have no doubt Williams too.

Hibbert is a huge expiring. Expirings could always serve as valuable "Get of Jail Card" in trade deadlines.


You need to build both in draft and acquiring assets through free agency. I just don't support "tanking" this year given the fact the Lakers could lose it. I'd rather see a positive wheel in motion and see how far it takes them.

you guys still live in the early 2000s.. expirings have little to no value today as you could find out by how none wanted pau's expiring
