Lakers: Jordan Hill returning to the Lakers

[Thread]

True. Compared to Dean Lombardi and his Kings, these NBA teams look like piss-pot hacks. Christ almighty!

Don't be obtuse, asshole.

Watch...

The Bag stays in Texas.

The Bag stays in Texas.

The Stanley Cup stays in Los Angeles.

Oh, . When was that announced?

[DPG21920]

So no Melo to LA now. That's for damn sure. They had (without stretching Nash) 24M in cap space. They have 8M for Lin, 5M for Swaggy P & 9M for Hill. That's 22M. Even if they stretch Nash now, that only leaves 6-7M per year for Pau.

Seems the writing on the wall for Pau & Melo.

4 years too. He'll be untenable now. He was the final asshole.

GIGO

[DPG21920]

So they must have renounced Pau? His cap hold was $20+m

They either had to sign him to a smaller deal or renounce him to allow for Lin trade. We know they didn't sign him with the other deals they announced, so they had to renounce Pau.

I'll believe it when Pau signs elsewhere.

Jordan is now the best center they have and Swaggy is the best SF they have, so the Lakers starting lineup as of now:

C: Hill
PF: Randle
SF: Swaggy
SG: Kirby
PG: Nash/Lin (Nash will be in a suit by December)

Bench: Sacre, Clarkson, Marshall

And still no coach.

NY can only offer 2/$7m. Only realistic chance he goes there was a S&T which isn't happening now.

[Buddy Mignon]

I can't decide whose offseason is funnier at this point - Miami's, Houston's, or the Lakers'....

Yours... you still got a ing slave master that refuses to emancipate your black ass...

It's impossible for him to stay, Cub. Lakers only got like 7 million left in cap space. No way he signs for that to stay on a lottery team.

Yup. So the only real options are CHI/OKC/MIA/SA.

Could have been worse for LA, tbh. They could have thrown a bunch of cash at Stevenson.

Lakers only have 2M in cap space.

Lakers only have 2M in cap space.

Even by stretching Nash?

HOU and MIA can pay him more than MLE, so they are probably the frontrunners.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Kobe's gonna score a lot of points this season.

Not gonna win too many games, but lots and lots of points.

I highly, highly doubt HOU tries to pair Pau with Dwight again. Not only that, it would require Pau choosing them in the next 2 days and signing. They have to move fast with that Parsons sheet if they are going to match.

Yep, he's gonna take off after Kareem and have the old lady fire up the calculator.

If they stretch Nash, they can have around 6-7M, but they have not indicated they are doing that yet.

I would be surprised if they don't try. And Pau will decide tonight:

Yeah, I was pretty much thinking it's a foregone conclusion they do it.

He didn't say tonight tbh..just said soon.
