Ive wanted Demarcus for a while, in love the way that guy plays, but unless Mitch makes some miracle happen, its very very unlikely. Id give DJ 12-15 mill.
Plausible.
Portland ain't letting him go because LMA is gone.
Memphis ain't letting him go because they value their frontcourt.
Won't walk out of Dallas.
Plausible... mmmmmaybe? But NOP has a solid lineup and they have Alvin Gentry.
Plausible, Toronto would be looking to move players after choking two playoff series in a row.
Things are lookin up my laker brethren.
DMC is crazy but he's crazy but he's crazy because he wants to win.
I've always believed that if you surround this guy with a good team and give him playoff basketball, he will go out and perform.
Just really unfortunate that the Lakers won't get him unless they tank the entire roster.
C'mon Vlade, help us out here. It worked out well for Memphis.
Exactly.
Just remember the Pau trade Venti.
Jim playing center vs. Lakers. He betta put some arc on those bank shots!
#17MTHIBBERT
Jordan Hill signs with Indiana
Surprised they didn't S&T him + Swaggy for Hibbert.
He goes up against KAT Daddy tomorrow. Then he got Okafor the next night. Time to see what he's made of.
Hopefully we can replace Sacre with Upshaw.
Lakers expected to sign Robert Upshaw
Undrafted free-agent center Robert Upshaw, an ultra-talented shot-blocker who has also been kicked out of two colleges, has reached an agreement on a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, a league source confirmed to ESPN late Friday night.
The source said the deal is expected to be completed in the coming days, and while immediate details weren't available, the source said the first year of the deal was partially guaranteed while the second year was non-guaranteed.
Northeast Ohio Media Group first reported that Upshaw had reached an agreement with the Lakers.
The 7-footer is playing with the Lakers' summer league squad and finished with 2 points, 3 blocks and 6 rebounds in nearly 13 minutes during the team's 81-68 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday in Las Vegas.
Upshaw averaged 10.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 blocks in 19 games with the University of Washington last season before being dismissed from the program for a violation of team rules. At the time of his dismissal, his 85 blocks led the nation and set a single-season school record.
Upshaw, a Fresno native, transferred to Washington after being dismissed from Fresno State for a violation of team rules.
His off-the-court trouble led the potential first-round pick to go undrafted. But for the Lakers, Upshaw could be a low-risk, high-reward addition to their frontcourt. Upshaw had the longest wingspan at the 2015 NBA Draft Combine, measuring 7-foot-5 ½. He also had the highest standing reach at 9-5.

Not gonna lie, I'll be really happy when they sign this kid. Jab bar turned Bynum into an all star before his knee exploded. This kid is further along than when we drafted Bynum. I saw him swat KAT last night twice which was good to see. When he gets in shape we'll have two really good paint protectors.
there's some insight right there
I hope this dude spends the rest of this offseason (and many more tbh) with Jabbar. He got skills already. Easily my new pet cat.
Upshaw vs #1 overall pick
3 swats in 13 minutes (2 on Towns). He led the nation in swats (4.5/game) before he got kicked off the team. If he can swat/rebound, we got a steal. Hopefully he keeps his head on straight. Kid can ball.
Clarkson looked great last night:
Looking forward to him and Russell playing together for years to come.
he doesn't touch that ball imoUpshaw vs #1 overall pick

Looks like that game yesterday already paid off for him
He looked good.
He got waxed.
It's a damn shame but Russell's career may be over after 2 summer league games.
On that note, Belinelli scored 37 points on his 1st summer league game

WAAAAAAAAA
Russell will be a solid player. Not sure of his upside, but he has the size and court vision to be a good PG for years to come. Just depends on how hard he works. Might have all-star potential.It's a damn shame but Russell's career may be over after 2 summer league games.

Don't like what I see.
