What the **** is with all this Melo and LeBron to the Lakers stuff? Where is this cap room coming from?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Dallas will go very hard at Chandler Parsons.

They have Nash and Kobe on the books right, oh and Sacre, and maybe Kelly i believe

 

[Scully2Folau]

Looks to be a general rule that all teams in on Melo or LeBron are in on Parsons.

Wojbomb number one?

Self dobbing in moderate ignorance. Part of the trade with the Raptors is they are throwing in a 2nd rounder. I figured that will be like an early 30s, practically a first rounder. No well then I notice they finished 3rd in the E. The I look at their roster ... and I have to go back and double check they actually finished 3rd because I don't believe it. They get Lou and a guy who could be a Brazilian Jonuous Valicusious in a couple of years for essentially nothing.

I need to turn off twitter for a couple of hours.

Ive seen Dallas associated with about 25 free agents.

what's going on with your mob seem to be wanting to blow it up? You were a bees dick away from knocking the Spurs out.
I reckon get a few quality guys rather than the big fish and you'll be right.

Knowing Cuban that's probably only half the players. He is not afraid of going after anything and everything.

Headline: Cuban will swing for the fences
Reality: Mark Cuban said the Mavericks plan on aggressively pursuing superstars in free agency, but the team will not make maximum-contract offers.

Also that was a unique drafting effort by the Raptors to be nice. I think Xavier Thames was their best pick. Now he is a Net I thought the Raps were on the right path. Time will tell.

Definitely not blowing it up.

Dirk and Monta is the core. Added Chandler now looking at adding 1 max (Lebron/Melo) or 2-3 lesser players to the core (Parsons/Deng/IT/Hawes)

Lot of money for an inefficient, selfish offensive player with poor defence.

I like the non max option build around that core with defenders and perimeter shooting. Dirk and Monta can raffle it in the clutch.

It was more good news on a cheery day for Randle, who was handed his new No. 30 Lakers uniform by vice president of player personnel Jim Buss at the start of the press conference.

"Congratulations," Buss told Randle. "Welcome to the family."

"I was like, 'Mom, can I wear your number?' I was like, 'What number were you?' She was like, '30.' I was like, 'Can I wear it?' She was like, 'If you're going to wear it, you got to do something with it.' So, I'm playing for the Lakers; I guess I did something."

come at me
