Lakers signed Danny Green for 2 years, $30 million. That takes $15 million from the Lakers' cap space.
Davis will probably bolt to the Knicks next year. Oh these Lakers picks just got much better And Clippers will have the best defense in the league
No clue why people can't see why OKC would do this. They were never going to contend with that roster.
Had AD been signed up for three seasons, that's a road we could go down, but LAC was never offering anywhere near that amount for a guy leaving in one year. We were lucky to get what we did. No use in comparing.
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.

I dont know how this could of gotten better for us. For the lakers they are obviously have more a chance of less wins and those picks looking juicy. Yes LAC will look pretty good in the short term but PG is getting older himself and they just gave up the farm for sometime to come. What a great off season we have had.
Agreed that from all reports we couldn't get anything similar from them, and so they are not worth comparing as options available to us.
I think it is worth comparing more broadly as these are likely the two biggest superstar trade packages ever, happened during the same summer, following a period when teams weren't getting much for superstars. What does this do for the price of superstars long term?

just checking in to share in the tears and laughter of joy
Thank you Kawhi! No way was he going to ride Lebron's coat tails and be second fiddle. I shall enjoy watching the Clippers dismantle the Lakers next year and beyond.
This is so good, I expect the Lakers to be a fringe playoff team next year if they can manage to stay healthy. It would be hilarious is AD leaves next year.
I wonder if Kawhi was stringing LAL along this whole time just to force LAC to pony up the goods to get PG.
LOL, that Laker fan was close on KCP.
The Lakers are expected to bring back Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on a two year, $16 million deal, per league sources.
Now Lakers will sign only two year deals because they're planning on chasing Giannis.
Even though it makes the West tougher I absolutely love it! Much better for us then having him sign with the Lakers! Now I’m just hoping the Lakers sign Rondo and don’t get Iggy or Boogie.. Leonard/George is an incredible duo to build around along with the 6th man of the year in Lou. The Clippers imo are the better team in LA now and will be a top 4 seed.
Also let’s stop acting like the Thunder somehow had George just dictate what he wanted to do. Clippers get Paul George and Thunder get Shai Gilgeous-Alexander & Danilo Gallinari along with 4 unprotected 1st round picks, 1 protected 1st round pick, and 2 pick swaps. Both teams won in this trade. You can basically add Leonard in as a get for the Clippers in the trade since he wouldn’t have signed. The Thunder also have a huge trade chip in Westbrook as well that teams like the Knicks or Celtics might be interested in acquiring in the future. The Thunder have now set themselves up to be rebuilt into a real contender.

If this works out for the Clippers. We need to all admit that Jerry West is a MASTERMIND wherever he goes
