We go from Lakers fans telling us we have no leverage and we’ll take what we can get to Celtics fans telling us we have no leverage and we’ll take what we can get.

This is fun

My takes are likely way more nuanced and informed than whatever Lakers clowns you are lurking on Reddit or twitter. Why the frick do you think I am even here? This dude crewz starts posting a lot of verifiable stuff at the trade deadline, and it got my attention.

He's not here to explain things to you anymore, but even if he were, I get the feeling reading his twitter that his access to good information got curtailed with the switch to this new regime. Maybe he is still plugged in to some extent, but I don't think he has a line on Griffin like he did on Demps and/or Ferry. So not only is he not giving you good info anymore, he's not even here to mock the utter stupidity that gets thrown around.

Point blank: The Lakers assets are not that great. Some come with great risk, and others are outright toxic. And unless they find a way to blow away the field on this, they aren't even in the game. Your owner and Loomis hate these guys with the intensity of a thousand suns, just as Pop did when the Lakers did this with Kawhi.
