P_B_&_G 06-02-2024, 11:08 AMWell I mean do you see that when they don’t have players named Lebron/Kobe on them?
RaisingTheBar 06-02-2024, 10:44 AMThis is one of the things that makes me think the league is fixed. You regularly see guys traded to the Lakers below market value. The question is why?

Pelicanidae 05-31-2024, 11:07 PMYes Turner all day. Big man who can play defense in the paint and shoot from the perimeter is exactly what the team wants from the 5.

I get ‘25 draft is supposed to be stronger. But do we really anticipate lakers to not retain lebron and to not make a big move to finish better
