The Wizards are some punks.

It wouldn’t surprise me if most teams were blackballing the Lakers for a trade and Washington was THE team to ruin it all. Hopefully they don’t end up with Kawaii. I can live with virtually anyone else
But we did get some dough . Not end of the world
If Davis waives his bonus and the Pels get 1.1M in cash from the Wizards, Gayle's pockets just got about 5.1M fatter.

The practice facility renovations just paid for themselves.
What confuses me is how awful an agent Rich Paul clearly is.
''Hey AD, take this paycut of tens of millions of dollars to come play with Lebron in LA, who never takes a paycut for anything. Oh yeah, and waive your trade kicker so you lose another $4.4m to bail out the stupid team for their own stupidity. Ignore all the lost money that I, your agent, have cost you with my recommendations. You have an endorsement with Ruffles now.''
Basketball.
The Wizards still don't have a GM.
They drafted Rui Hachimura with the 9th pick without even having called him on the phone beforehand. Rumour has it that they auto-drafted, using essentially a computer mock. Their acting executive had to ask Hachimura whether he could shoot at their press conference.
They're planning on trying to extend Beal despite their awful situation.
Wizards are in one of the worst positions in the league.
What's the use of cheap young players when it cost you more money. Extremely unproven, unheralded players that only got some shine when nothing mattered. They could have gotten those bozos some other time and probably at lower cost at a later date. At least Christian Wood has summer league MVP on his belt.
The Wizards do have only a substitute GM right now. Why would they do anything in a situation like that?
It's all wierd. Morons.
rich paul is about to talk all of the free agents thats on his roster to sign with the lakers for one year and promise them the big payday next summer lol......a couple of them will get traded or do buyouts to get on the lakers......
on christmas day we will be watching the klutch lakers VS new orleans pelicans lol....book it lol....
I think it’s better for the Lakers to sign another max player unless it’s Kawhi, but I don’t see him joining LeBron & AD with a terrible franchise at the moment. Their front office is a joke and had Magic leave over some email comments that those idiots copied him too. They couldn’t figure out who to hire as a coach and end up hiring a bunch of ex-head coaches. I don’t see that end up being nothing but total cluster....! Then if they do sign a max guy they will essentially have LeBron, AD, Kuzma, and maybe De’Angelo Russell if Kyrie goes to Brooklyn. They should sign a good shooting point guard over anything else. They should go after Kemba or Russell and not another alpha dog like Kawhi. Middleton would also be a good signing, but I think he wants to stay in Milwaukee.
If they were smart they would sign Rozier, Payton, or another second tier point guard. Then bring back Rondo on the minimum. Then sign JJ Redick or Danny Green for a shooter unless JR Smith is their guy which I hope lol. Then bring in another shooter that may take the minimum chasing a ring like Rudy Gay. Then bring in another vet like Jeff Green or Kenneth Faried.
I wouldn’t be shocked if they end up with Rondo, Gay, Pau Gasol, Farried, JR Smith, and any other old vet that’s made a good bit of money already and chasing a ring.
C: AD, Gasol
PF: Kuzma, Farried
SF: LeBron, Gay
SG: Smith, Horton-Tucker
PG: DLo, Rondo
Old but not a bad roster IMO. Doubt they could even afford that tho. They will likely have to have two young minimum guys in their rotation. They probably bring back McGee and /or Tyson Chandler instead of Gasol.

Looks like the Clippers dream of Leonard could be derailed.
I'm sure their heads are filled with easy championships. Which leads to more movie deals and endorsements all the way through retirement. So they are selling AD on sacrificing cash now for continued dividends after they win. Which will work......unless one of us (teams) stop then from ever winning.
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
It's just kind of absurd. I think that if anyone ever doubted it, then this entire debacle has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Rich Paul is Lebron's agent first. Everyone else is secondary, and their needs are decided upon by Rich Paul if and when he feels they best fit Lebron.
By my count, AD has declined upwards of $45m up until this point. It might end up being north of $80 before it's said and done. As Shaq said, he is getting horrible advice. "He'll never be able to make that up regardless of whatever Rich Paul tells him" - paraphrasing Shaq.
How about winning championships AND getting movie deals and endorsements. He has a potato chip gig now. Oooo wow, that's worth what? $500k maybe? That SpaceJam movie? Sure, he will get paid but can you actually see AD saying more than three words in it? Sounds like sour grapes for me, but it's just poor business leaving multiple millions on the table.
